Вооружение тау не выделяет их из общей массы - в warhammer все, начиная с орков и заканчивая эльдарами примерно на одном уровне технологического развития. Так что отличительной чертой рас становится именно их характер - лживые ублюдки-эльдары, узколобые ублюдки-люди, двуличные ублюдки-тау, безбашенные ублюдки-орки, молчаливые ублюдки-некроны.
Еще одно доказательство - поголовная стерилизация Кронуса в Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, при захвате его тау.
Перевод одной из фраз выше: "Что еще тебе нужно понимать, кроме Высшего Блага? Что еще, кроме Высшего Блага, должно тебя заботить? Не спрашивай, куда ушел твой муж. Лучше возрадуйся тому, что его отсутствие выгодно всем нам!" -Maskin Quiore, Гуе'ла, Посредник Касты Воды
По логике, стерилизация как-раз таки весьма удобна тау. Нашел пару цитат из RPG:
"Populations are regulary sterilised to prevent population growth outscretching Tau metods of control. Human transgressors agains Greater Good are not publicly executed, as in the Imperial way, for the Tau see no need to publicise the fates of those who oppose them. Insted, such gue'la simply dissapear, and it is in the Greater Good to convince oneself that they never existed at all".
"What need you understand but the Greater Good? What more than the Greater Good can hold any concern for you? Ask not where your husband went. Rather, rejoice that his absent benefits us all! -Maskin Quiore, Gue'la Water Caste Liason"
"One such city, Beldar, is home to Gue'Retha, a research institute and university to which the Tau transport all the brightest and most talented humans to educate them in Tau philosophy and technology. Attached to the Gue'Retha is a place which the Tau decline to name, but which human malcontents call the Lacuna. This underground facility, it is rumoured, is there the Tau conduct psychological experiments on gue'la prisoners. The results supposedly help the Tau refine their metods of social manipulation, but no one can be sure, since any heard to utter such thoughts vanis, quite possibly in Lacuna itself".
Maskin Quiore, Гуе'ла, Посредник Касты Воды - этот товарищ явно работает на тау, но именуется гуе'ла.
