FAQ's

What is the best T'au Empire set for beginners?

The Combat Patrol: T'au Empire offers an excellent starting point for newcomers. This balanced box includes a Commander battlesuit, Fire Warriors from the Fire Caste, and a Devilfish transport, giving you a functional army core ready for your first games. The set provides tremendous value and introduces you to the faction's signature playstyle of ranged firepower and mobile warfare that sets the T'au apart from factions like Space Marines or Chaos.

Can I buy individual T'au units at On-Board Gaming?

Absolutely! We stock Crisis Battlesuits, Ghostkeel Battlesuits, Broadside Battlesuits, and more both in our Escondido store and online, so you can expand your forces with exactly the units you need. These battlesuit kits offer extensive customization options including weapon systems like target locks and come with all weapon variants included.

Does the T'au Empire work well for competitive play?

Definitely. The T'au Empire supports multiple playstyles through different detachments, from the aggressive Mont'ka strategy to patient Kauyon tactics. Combined forces of battlesuits and auxiliary units create flexible army compositions. The balanced unit options make the faction competitive against other armies in the Imperium and beyond at tournament and casual levels alike.

What happened during the Damocles Crusade?

The Damocles Crusade marked the first major conflict between the T'au Empire and the Imperium of Man. Space Marines and Imperial Guard forces pushed deep into T'au-controlled star systems before the campaign ground to a stalemate. This pivotal event shaped T'au military doctrine and gave rise to legendary commanders. Phil Kelly's novel Farsight: Crisis of Faith explores this era in detail, following Commander Farsight as he faces the existential threat of Imperial forces.
