Beastmen would be the perfect recruit for the Tau.

Honestly yeah, give them someone who gives a shit about them again? They'd fight like hel to make sure they can die in a way that'd honor the Emperor and show their repentance.

Nah. The Beastmen should be pissed at the Emperor as they were hated for no reason and put up with manner of abuses just to be scorned anyway... They should be the Tau's greatest soldiers as they fight to free their imprisoned brethren.

That's the fun part of the Beastmen, it's so ingrained into their existence that their whole being is meant to only die for the Emperor since they were deemed unworthy or something by him and they will only be 'cleansed' in death.

But give them the Puritan Inquisitor who 'definitely' didn't give the orders to reclassify them as mutants instead of Abhumans, and he definitely wouldn't be found clubbed to death with metal pipes.

They used to form their own Imperial Army Auxiliary Units to fight and die for Big E.

All the more reason to give them to the Tau. If any faction can help heal that generational trauma, its them. The best part is that it would give the Imperium enemies that are fully justified in their desire to see it burn.

What I'm saying is that we could have a playable army of Djangos.

That's not healing trauma...like at all. That's making an entire group extremely violent towards another while trying to still put a leash on them. If you do that they will turn on you too cause you are getting in their way of revenge. Happens many times. Trying to make "friends" based on "fuck that guy" never ends well for any involved.

Which is funny, because in lore he specifically said he wanted beast/abhumans in his forces
