The New T’au Codex Is Coming Soon, So Here's a Look at the Cover Art

The T’au Empire are making moves across the galaxy, and with Kill Team: Chalnath newly released and a re-invasion of the Vedik system on the cards, it’s a good time to be blue. It’s about to get even better with Codex: T’au Empire on the way early next year.

How early? We’ll get to that, but it’s close enough that we’ve been able to get some markerlights trained on the cover so you can see the beautiful art right now.

Doesn’t it just make you want to throw down your lasgun and cast your lot in with the Greater Good? A Commander’s Enforcer Battlesuit is leading the way, and it looks like they’re getting into a furious fight with somebody just out of frame. Luckily, some Pathfinders were on hand to capture the rest of the scene, and it’s a truly remarkable work of art.

Being that close to an Ork mob might give veteran T’au players a bit of a cold sweat,* but it’s no surprise to see the aggressive Vior’la Sept getting stuck in.

We’ll be sneaking a few snippets from the codex onto Warhammer-Community.com in the coming weeks. In fact, later today you’ll finally see who that shadowy figure that’s been stalking us lately is.

Codex: T’au Empire will arrive in early 2022, and with the Genestealer Cults and Adeptus Custodes codexes also landing in the same period, it’s going to be an exciting few months for Warhammer 40,000. Sign up for the Warhammer Community newsletter, and you’ll never miss another reveal.

* Do T’au sweat? We’ve heard that they don’t, but we can’t confirm as the Ordo Xenos have stopped taking our calls.
