Right I know Tau can be deadly against Tyranids and Orks and Necrons and Imperial Guard but what about the other more popular armies. They have a BS of 3 why, if your lucky enough to roll lots of 4+'s and are able to wound space marines and such like (which is failry easy to do) they still have a nice easy save of 3+. So im wondering why werent Tau given a better ballistic skill? Maybe some of you will say because they only really fight Nids and Orks and dont need it but think about the Tau map, We are surrounded by Space Marines and we are about to make our empire bigger which means starting a war with the space marines surrounding us...so why arn't they better at taking them out. You dont start a war with someone you know who can wipe you out its not really working towards a greater good. If not making them a little more accurate at least make them a little stronger or am i the only who finds it hard to beat any space marines. (which at local GW store is most, ive seen one Tau player, one Nid player and one Necron player, so im normally against space marines and chaos)
