WARHAMMER NEW WORLD COLONIES SKIN

The second, the subject of an imperial dissection, had the facial characteristics of a male Tau. It is not known, however, whether Shadowsun is representative of all female Tau. The first, Commander Shadowsun, appeared to have a more human face than male Tau - being smoother and sleeker with larger eyes, a nose-like facial feature and a 'Y' shaped facial slit. Only two identifiably female Tau have ever been illustrated. Physical strength and size vary between castes, with the Fire Caste being the physically largest and strongest of the Tau. The olfactory organs are inside the mouth. However their pupils do not dilate, giving poorer depth perception and slower focusing reflexes than Humans.

Tau vision is considered slightly superior to humans - their visual spectrum extends a little more into the ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. Their faces are flat, wide around the eyes, with an 'I'-shaped indentation running from the centre of the forehead to where a human's nose would be. This grey-blue colouration is due to the Tau analog of haemoglobin being cobalt-based, as mentioned in the novel For the Emperor (Mitchell, 2003).

Their skin is grey-blue (although this can vary in pigmentation between worlds), rough in texture, leathery, and exudes almost no moisture.

The Tau are humanoid in shape, although they have hooved feet and four-digit hands (three fingers and one thumb). This was initially a result of adaptation to suit the environment each group of the Tau species found themselves in, although interbreeding between castes was later forbidden by the Ethereals. The Tau's psychology is closely tied to their physiology, with the Tau of each caste effectively being a subspecies of the tau race. 3.2 Influence of the Eye of Terror campaign.Additional rules for the Tau appear in a Forge World Imperial Armour rules supplement ( Imperial Armour Volume Three - The Taros Campaign - Kinrade, 2005). The Tau were the fourth army to receive a Codex updated for Fourth Edition rules ( Codex: Tau Empire - Hoare, 2006). In addition, human auxiliaries ( Gue'vesa in the Tau language) are sometimes seen to be aiding the Tau as well. Tau society has also advanced rapidly, from warring tribes to a unified caste system working towards common goals, known by the Tau as Tau'va, The Greater Good.ДЄs well as the five castes of the Tau, multiple alien species are incorporated into the Tau Empire the most significant of these being the Kroot and Vespid although many other races, including the space faring Nicassar and the mercenary Tarellian Dog Soldiers are members. The Tau have advanced rapidly since their first encounter with the Imperium of Man in the 35th millennium, rising from a hunter-gatherer level of technology to a starfaring race in less than six thousand years. The Tau were first introduced to Warhammer 40,000 in late 2001, the result of Games Workshop's plan to introduce a new race to the game. In the universe of Games Workshop's table-top wargame Warhammer 40,000, the Tau are an alien race, inhabiting a small but dense region of space on the eastern edge of the Galaxy, roughly 300 light years in diameter.
