All those rules for flyers in the WD — ignore, now they are in the rulebook! Space Marines — Combat squads, Techmarines same. Bunch of stuff made for Space Marines units only i. Calagar, Pedro, etc. Space Wolves — Iron Priests same as Techmarines. Lots of stuff for SW only in terms of Allies. Wolf Standards do not allow morale to be re-rolled. Yay for Acute senses on Suits. Drones can deny objectives, even if off vehicles.
Gun drones are now restricted to same fire restrictions as other guns on vehicles. Tyranids — Mastery levels are 1 2 for Swarmlord with X number of powers allowed so generally on the usuals. Some very nice, yet random options there, particularly since most Tyranid armies took a bunch of psykers before. No Eternal Warrior. So, the best way to make space marines with tau, is to create a custom space marine chapter, who is painted in the colours of the tau. Or else, just treat them as battlebrothers in mechanics, but allies of convenience, in the "fluff" of your battle, such as in the case where they fought together to repel Tyranids :.
For the Emperor. I believe there was one battle when the Ultramarines and Tau combined forces to fight the Necrons on a Tomb World. The "alliance" won and the Tau were allowed to retreat.
Then an exterminatus was used to purge the planet of Necrons. A large Ultramarine force accompanied by a massive Imperial Navy once suddenly appeared in orbit about a Tau planet, and the Tau readied their navy to defend themselves.
The Tau were vastly out-gunned. An even larger Hive Fleet revealed itself and the IoM forces went to work. So in this case the Ultramarines were in the vicinity of Tau and not killing them, but instead killing a foe the Tau also consider an enemy. Sign up to join this community.

Have the Tau ever allied with Space Marines or Eldar? Ask Question. Asked 9 years, 3 months ago. Active 3 years, 10 months ago. Viewed 21k times. Is there some Black Library fiction supporting this? Some back story I'm missing?
Note: Imperial Guard! Improve this question. Community Bot 1. Are you looking for specifically Space Marines, as I can only find one brief timeline reference to that, or humanity as a whole, since there are numerous instances of Imperial guard allying with them for the Imperium?
Specifically Space Marines, as that's who it says they've allied with. While the Eldar, the Marines, and the Tau are different factions with different interests, they all share a common desire to protect their people and their civilizations.
While most of the other factions are usually too aggressive or destructive to parley even in desperate situations. Explanation on daily life in the Imperium, how the Imperium is governed. The Imperium is even more almost-doomed than before. Timeline mentions vast swathes of the Imperium falling to rebellion, alien attack and Chaos rape. Lots of detail on stuff not usually mentioned. It appears that those that wrote about each army are fanboys of that given army.
As such you will not find too much negative comments in a race's description. Pages are mostly filled with old lore, nothing new at all in those pages. As such expect to see a lot of copy and pasting from previous codices, giving not even the Lexicanum anything interesting to write about in 6th edition that already hasn't been written about. Fun subject to early termination at Tzeentch's discretion. Fun is to be taken in context of Dwarf Fortress. Conceptually, the Allies matrix is a nice addition.
In practice, the Allies Table is an Emperor damned mess that shoots itself in the foot a bunch of times:. The mini-codices Inquisition, Legion of the Damned, and Imperial Knights , meanwhile, just ignore this outright; they can all be taken in addition to an allied detachment.
On the whole the allies chart is full of fluff violations, making the whole system a bit silly. Why GW did this is unknown but there are a few suspects especially how the allies chart really favors Space Marines. Allowing for team ups is a great idea that many people have probably experimented with already. The Rule that even Battle Brothers can't use your transports helps stop other armies from using Drop Pods when they shouldn't.
