WH40k Farsight Enclaves [6th ed. codex suplement].pdf

The Tau are a new force in the galaxy, optimistic and bright. Yet even they

have their dark secrets. When the warrior hero Farsight conquered the worlds

of the Damocles Gulf, he learned forbidden truths that would divide the Tau

Empire forever.

The Tau Empire is bound fast by an unwavering belief in the Greater Good; the concept

that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. It is a system rigidly enforced

by the mysterious Ethereal Caste, governor-priests so influential that they could order

their people to commit suicide and be obeyed on the spot. There has only ever been one

Tau who has challenged their rule and lived to tell of it. That individual is O’Shovah, the

infamous Commander Farsight, and despite the best efforts of the Ethereals to erase him

from history, his exploits are legend.

WARHAMMER 40,000

If you are reading this codex supplement, then you have already taken your first

steps into the Warhammer 40,000 hobby. The Warhammer 40,000 rulebook

contains all the rules you need to fight battles with your Citadel miniatures, and

every army has its own codex that acts as a definitive guide to collecting and

unleashing it upon the tabletop battlefields of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

This codex supplement allows you to turn your collection of Tau into the warrior

elite of the Farsight Enclaves.

THE FARSIGHT ENCLAVES

The region of space known to the Tau as the Forbidden Zone holds within it the Farsight

Enclaves, each world a triumph of science and artistry blended into a perfect meritocracy.

To understand their origin, one must learn the story of Commander Farsight himself;

warrior lord, hero, exiled rebel and cursed fiend alike. His battlesuit-clad armies are lethal

in the extreme, but it is the independent mind of O’Shovah that is the Tau Empire’s

greatest weapon and the one weakness that threatens its unity.

HOW THIS SUPPLEMENT WORKS

Codex: Tau Empire contains everything you need to field a force of Tau in your games of

Warhammer 40,000, and this volume allows you to tailor that force into an army from

the Farsight Enclaves, armed to the teeth and ready for battle. Within these pages, you

will find the history of the Farsight Enclaves, from O’Shovah’s first conflicts to the brink

of their destruction. You’ll also find a showcase of beautifully painted miniatures and the

heroes of Commander O’Shovah’s enclaves. Finally, you’ll discover new missions that

recreate Farsight’s most famous battles, as well as additional rules to customise your

games of Cities of Death and Planetstrike.
