Tau Barracks

The main Tau infantry units are created at the Barracks, including Fire Warriors, Kroot Carnivores, Pathfinders, XV88 Broadsides, and XV8 Crisis Suits. You can also train a Tau Commander at the Barracks, a powerful infantry unit adept at both combat and supporting other nearby Tau units.

Tactics

The Tau Barracks is a cheap and quickly built building which can be used as a decoy. This also allows for another production queue to speed up your military expansion. By doing so, it can also prevent you from being defeated when the Annihilate victory condition is active and resources are few.
