See, this is why I like drawing/writing cross species(faction) in 40k. It's so much more complex and unique. As compared to the basic watered down relation ships of regular scifi.

Also, don't forget Abhumans who are practically an array of human-like different species. If a "regular" human dates one, it's seen as either taboo or downright disgusting. And if a xenos dates them, then it's like a spicy version of what you've covered.

Xenophilia in other sci-fi: Human John, your kind already fascinates me, but even then, you manage to stand out among your kin! Would you like to partake in my homeworld's traditions to... strengthen our bond?

Xenophilia in Warhammer 40k: You could go for a blue skinned hooved girl, but she is going to have a government mandated pregnancy by someone from her race, so I hope you're into being NTR'ed. No, you can't do anything about this. You could go for a Space Elf™ gf, but she's going to call you a racial slur everytime you breathe. Also, the rest of her race thinks she is a zoophile for being with you. Oh, and avoid Goth Space Elves™. I REPEAT - AVOID GOTH SPACE ELVES™ AT ALL COST. You could go for a tall mommy robot skeleton gf, but she doesn't have any, ehem, "fun parts"... So she will either make you do something incredibly insane and dangerous to entertain herself or she's going to grow bored of you and kill you. Not liking any of those options? Don't worry! If you're good enough of a fighter - you may get an Ork bf, who will try to KRUMP YA! Remember, the boyz LOVE fighting, so the harder you fight your Ork boyfriend - the more he thinks you love him. Good luck!

I'm getting into warhammer 40k and I got a box of tau minis

These are the first two i've actually finished painting

i'm planning on making the mech suit I got into a racing mech and then making the pathfinder team I got into the mechanics and pit crew

First battle ready alien I've painted that isn't dead on a base or on a diorama, it's a Vespid Shadestrain! Also my first Tau Empire models, highlights to go!

Me and @dammitkat1e picked up the hivestorm kill team boxset and are speed painting it, she's done the Tempestus Aquilons side and they look great!

On a sidenote - Kill Team is super fun, give it a try.

The codex astartes does not prepare you for these tactics

'Prequel' of sort to this. And here's a little guide. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 (this one)
