@@Crosmando He means the Tau and Covenant have similar combat doctrines, not philosophical or religious beliefs.

Honestly any race to be in the 40k universe, i would be a tau. You get AC. Great living conditions, and you ride a battle suit into battle listening to music and not getting tired from all the running. Possibly the best faction to live in as they dont know the horrors of the galaxy so they are blissfully unaware and hopeful rather then constantly feeling a sense of doom

Eh, resources are always finite, the greater good is always designed for those considered greater than the rest. You'll likely end up in the same conditions as you would find yourself in the imperium. Except you're now a heretic, so when you inevitably die, you'll find yourself without the emperor to stop the warp from devouring your meager soul. Me, I'll happily eat my corpse starch and pick up my lasrifle to kill the alien, heretic, and the traitor..

I used to hate the Tau, for being just a easy cash grab to get the east asian market, made by people who do not understand east asians. But as their lore have expanded, I have come to respect them as a fully develop faction. Still, would not play them as first choice, but if I meet them in a game, I might try them as 4th or 5th choice.
