    One. The Eldar do have a superior society than the Imperium of man so I agree on that front.

    On the other hand even with some of the darker aspects the T´au as a faction are still a much better society than the IoM with a focus on collectivism and unity. Like being a human auxillary/civilian on a T´au controlled world is vastly superior to living in the hellhole that is the IoM.

      This concept was introduced after fans complained that the initial T’au codex described the T’au in too much of a positive light, and that they were too “good” for the grim, dark Warhammer 40,000 universe. This also led to the introduction of the Vespid Communion Helms, which have a much clearer Orwellian feel that the Vespid are being directly manipulated by the T’au thanks to the helmets that are supposedly for “communication purposes.”

      Very cool of you james workshop

      I originally thought the caste system was “problematic” enough to leave the Tau as visibly “Better” but still with hangups but they had to go and do it to 'em anyway.
