Advanced Tau Tactica is an article-based site that uses an "online forum" to promote the development of well written, user-submitted articles and projects. We maintain very high standards so that like-minded gamers, modellers and hobby enthusiasts may collaborate with their peers without distraction.

It may seem as though these principles make us unwelcoming to hobby or gaming novices. This is far from true, and we welcome anyone who can write and think clearly to join us. However, as in a modern library or peer-reviewed publication, your access to this body of knowledge does not immediately grant you the ability to contribute your own materials. Quality work and respect for your fellow members in the Concourse levels are the only path to higher rank and full posting rights in the other forums. Lurking is strongly encouraged and promotion can be swift if your contributions show quality.

Above all else, please remember: they're just little plastic spacemen.
