It seems to me as if the Adeptus Astartes and specifically the Ultramarines have a rather soft spot for the Tau. An example of this would be during the Damocles Gulf Crusade when the Adeptus Astartes helped prevent the Ordo Xenos from unleashing Exterminatus on the world of Dal'yth. And the Tau are also close to the Realm of Ultramar, and have not yet had an Ultramarine or successor chapter assault upon one of their worlds. It could be said that the Space Marines view the Tau as honourable warriors as hinted in the Damocles Gulf Crusade, but I have a feeling that the Astartes also know the Tau are a force of order and a xenos race that the Emperor, if he were still around would view with a kind eye.

Your opinions?
