What is tau space marines?

Tau Space Marines are a fictional army in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game and media franchise. They are part of the Tau Empire, a fictional alien empire in the game's universe. Tau Space Marines are genetically engineered soldiers that are physically and mentally superior to regular Tau soldiers. They are equipped with advanced weapons and technology, such as suits of powered armor called Crisis Suits and vehicles like the Hammerhead Gunship and Skyray Missile Gunship.

Unlike other Space Marines in the game, Tau Space Marines do not rely on brute strength and close combat to win battles. Instead, they use their advanced technology and superior range to overwhelm their enemies from a distance. They are also known for their use of drones and specialized units like the Stealth Suit and Pathfinder Team, which allow them to infiltrate and gather intelligence on enemy positions.

Tau Space Marines are still a relatively new addition to the Warhammer 40,000 franchise, having been introduced in the sixth edition of the game in 2012. They have since become a popular army choice among players for their unique gameplay style and distinctive aesthetics.
