Equipped with the latest technology that the Earth Caste has designed, and with a mastery of battlesuit mechanics, the Contingent Commander is ranged combat leviathan, making all enemies wary of approaching him. On the battlefield, a Contingent Commander sows destruction to the enemies of the Tau'va wherever his attention turns. It also requires absolute mastery of battlesuit operation and, most importantly, utter devotion to the Greater Good. It requires a conscious knowledge of the Tau way of war, and the ability to wield it too its full potential. However, mere survival skills are not enough to be promoted to the rank of Shas'o.

INDEPENDENT CHARACTER See Characters, in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. TAU COMMANDER Every Tau army must be led by a model with this special rule. Given here are either the details of those rules or a reference to where you can find them. TAU SPECIAL RULES The models in the Tau army use a number of special rules that are common to more than one unit, as specified in the individual entries that follow. O’Shovah also has a plasma rifle, a common weapon found on Tau battlesuits, and so its rules are to be found in the wargear section
As such, its rules are detailed in O’Shovah’s entry. A good example is the Dawn Blade, a powerful artifact wielded by O’Shovah, High Commander of the Farsight Enclaves.
When an item is unique, it is detailed in the following entry for its owner, and where an item is not unique, it is detailed in the wargear section. You will find that some items of equipment are unique to particular entries while others are used by more than one unit. The first part describes all of the troops and vehicles fielded by the Tau, including details the special characters that lead them, while the second part details the highly advanced Tau weaponry and equipment.ĮQUIPMENT The army list at the back of the book shows all the standard and optional wargear available to a particular model. The Forces of the Tau section is sub-divided into to two parts. As such, the army list later refers to the page numbers of these entries, so you can easily check back as you pick a force. Each entry describes the unit and gives rules to use them in your games of Warhammer 40,000. FORCES OF THE TAU This section of the book details the forces used by the Tau – their weapons, the units, and the famous special characters you can use, such as High Commander Shadowsun or Master Shaper Laqi of Pech.
