The Eldar (old soldiers of the Slann) got crushed by chaos. And the 60 million year old war of th e Slann vs Necrons got halted by chaos bursting out and annihilating the Slann and sending the Necrons into slumber. The Necrons killed all life on the worlds they used to hold off chaos it seems. The use of a race that won't drop to chaos seems like a fairly sensible route in consideration of that.And I think it was hints scattered throughout the Tau and Necron books to that end. For example something caused a massive warp storm to annihilate the human ships travelling to exterminate the fledgling Tau. And they went from barely sentient to space empire status in 4,000 years. At the behest of the 5th caste, who instantly commanded great loyalty from the other castes, and who randomly appeared 4,000 years ago. That's 'interesting'. Inquisition is trying to get it's hands on a 5th caste tau just to do some gene prodding. Plus, Eldrad Ulthuan (sp), greatest farseer of the eldar until he got wtfpwned by chaos, said he saw 'a great future' for the Tau, or something to that effect. Eldar don't like other races as a rule. Why did he compliment them? It just looks suspicious, which is just how I like it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
