Tau would get so much firepower that you dematerialise into a red smear when you are within 100 kilometres of a fire warrior (only kidding on this part hehe)
Tau are good at firepower and we are best at close combat. Another small problem is ranks and class names. Still space wolves managed with this problem why can't we?
if I remember right then the reason was that we already have enough melee oriented chapters but I might be mistaken also I think GW will decide which chapters we will vote for since EC will be canon
there is no best at close combat... blood angels, black templars, space wolves, world eaters, dark angels (due to their death-wing)... and thats just space marines.
I only went through a couple of pages, so this may been already mentioned, and maybe I'm wrong... Black Templars were used in DMO...I'm not a lawyer, but while THQ may went bankrupt, Vigil (in any form) doesn't still have the "rights" on DMO? or even, the rights to make DMO still exist, if anyone wants to pick those up...If in some miraculous way DMO gets resurrected, while EC is supposed to be cannon, and they both use BT's...isn't that a big mess? It's more or less like covering all the bases...
The rights belong to GW. The DMO assets weren't sold with THQ and, in fact, are in bE's possession. So it couldn't be because of DMO. It seems unlikely to be due to other games, as there's both a Space Wolf and a Dark Angels game currently being developed.
BT beat tau in close combat, tau beat BT in firepower. That what I talked about. yes, I was wrong at this.
