Thanks for the thoughts.

With reference to the Tau specifically, part of the reason I was hoping for "more aliens" is that the flavor of the Tau is that they're a young but sprawling (?) coalition of alien races who are united under the guidance of the Tau Empire. They make it sound like the Kroot are just one of many, many other "races" who are a part of the Tau forces. The Vespid are definitely a welcome edition, I guess after looking at the "favored children" of the Imperials/Space Marines Codecies (painting guides ad naseum, for starters) I started to sort of squawk at the "lack of variety" in the basic Tau units. I'm probably just not thinking it through enough.

But the whole "lots of alien races working under another race" seems to be the vibe Munkie got from the Tau, and I'd sort of agree...
