Same way GW always cycles around popularity of the not-marine factions.

Tau specific things that would likely market well are a variety of alien auxiliaries you can chose special characters with powerups from like any of the endless waves of fps battle royal games kids play.
Big tits are unc, cover that shit up.

I mean people draw fanart of stuff that's been long dead. Big blue titties won't go away. Honestly when something dies, and truly dies, the gooner shit is often the only thing that sustains it in the public memory. Not that 40k is gonna go away, it's more popular than ever, but still.

No, you made that shit up on your own.
I mean if you want a thing to be more popular you have to appeal to your audiences.
For GW thats

So the pattern of a powerful codex to sell new models is a guarantee.
Whatever coomer stuff you're on if your own fault.

Everyone forgets that the tau look like malnourished children, with the exception of the warrior clan who look like well-fed children.

>How do we make the Tau more popular?
By going back to what actually made Tau cool in the first place, being a more grounded approach to future warfare, emphasising a combined arms approach, autonomous drones, mid sized battlesuits used in a fire support role and mechanised and armoured assets supporting integrated infantry.

>How do we make the Tau more popular?

1. Return to the more noble version of the Tau, it was literally their only defining feature that set them even remotely apart from the other factions. Not necessarily making them the "good guys" but they really severe hell-turn GW made them do after 8th was kinda stupid
2. Dramatically increase the viability and amount of client races. They're supposed to be this grand coalition of races but the most effective way to play them is just T'au, give the other races more flavor and models
3. Fucking give them something to do, them wandering around "expanding" is just nothing, the Plague Wars thing was alright but it just sort of ended
4. Expand the Tau'va or cut it, stop waffling
5. Make them hot girls with huge tits

Best James can do is a man-faced bull dyke special character model who's a total girlboss (read: the reason something catastrophic goes wrong) in a novel, and copious amounts of more waffling for the rest of the faction.

You know, I'd prefer if they either went more towards the naive new kids on the block who blindly stumble into things and try their best, not realizing just how terrible the galaxy is and their propaganda department writing off all of their failures as learning experiences. Daemons consumed a colony world? Or go full Ming the Merciless where the Ethereals rules with an iron fist over an empire of different people. Everyone's equal (Ethereals are just more equal) and all the aliens who don't like it suddenly disappear. Of course all filtered through their propaganda and philosophy of the Greater Good.
>>
I hate Tau, but I understood they're incredibly well-liked by normgroids and redditors, surprised they wouldn't trot out another stupid mech for easy cash.

Add Gue'vesa, and other auxillaries to give them more of a Covenant style union of various aliens.

Also give them a serious win against the Imperium, something that the Imperium can't just brush off as not being important.

In a weird way, it feels like the Tau end up devaluing a lot of the stuff in the setting, because they're supposed to be the 'weak faction' that the Imperium doesn't take seriously, so anything that the Imperium ends up throwing at the Tau suddenly becomes not very important.

Titans? Supposedly rare. Gets thrown at Tau and blown up even in the most minor of conflicts against them.

Space Marines? Also supposed to be rare, yet most conflicts against the Tau see the involvement of multiple chapters (including First Founding chapters) and entire chapters have been lost fighting them.

Exterminatus? Supposed to be a rare method of last resort when a planet is truly lost forever, yet the Imperium has used it multiple times against the Tau.
>>
>>98153865
They've been accelerating with the timeline. They're one of the only factions that still innovates, so they're a more serious threat now then they were when they were released.
The first time the Imperium interacted with them they were basically bovine monkeys, now look at them.
You also can't really consider the presence of the first founding chapters, they're goddamn everywhere just because they're the one people recognize but the logistics of it never made sense. Basically add a zero or two to their chapter size if you want to be realistic about how often they show up.
>>
>>98153865
You're like 4 editions behind lil bro. Tau ARE taken seriously as a credible threat after throwing a few half-assed crusades at the problem only emboldened them
>>
>>98153865
Also if they couldn't stand up to space marines they wouldn't be on the tabletop, there would be a lore blurb about "The Tau Genocide" in some codex.
I don't know where you got the impression that they were truly weak, it's more that they're not a "drop everything" threat like a hive fleet or waaagh.
>>
>>98154035
It's also meant to be a statement on the Imperium's hubris. They never expected the tau to be a credible threat and kept dismissing them until they were impossible to ignore. It's like that guy who kept trying to warn people of a massive horde of wild boars and everyone dismissed him as "being scared of a few pigs" until a massive horde of wild boars swept through the countryside destroying everything in their path.
