In 5th edition I had created an entire auxiliary army to count as Imperial Guard. Though the Gue'Vesa didn't see too much table time, I was always up for having a multiple species army. Though I never saw the Gue'Vesa appear in anyone else's army list, I was personally guilty of modeling a few of my brother's guardsmen and playing them in a narrative game against his Elysians. If you still want to see them they can be found here). These can be found in Imperial Armour 3: The Taros Campaign and White Dwarf (For a short while the White Dwarf Gue'Vesa rules could be downloaded from the Games Workshop website.
There were also two releases of rules to use humans within the ranks of the Tau. The use of Imperial Guardsman within the Tau ranks can be seen fluffing around in codices and books found within the black library. I also found that with the numerous conversion ideas out there, the Imperial Guard would be the easiest army to visually blend with the Tau. So let's give a hearty hello to the army we can now field as Gue'Vesa or desperate Gue'la. Although we can use them, I am heartbroken (to say the least) that Space Marines took priority over the IG. I also chose the Imperial Guard because I was wishlisting this army the most for Tau when the allies rules entered the rumor mill. As far as Space Marines go, I refuse to encourage the purchasing of anymore 3+ armor saves that drive around in boxes (we saw enough of that in 5th edition). Although some of you might be wondering why I started with the IG instead of one of the two battle brothers, i'm still working out some strategies with Eldar (Battle Brothers allows for a greater range of possibilities).
