    I have always loved this war-narrative, because with the Tau, Ravenguard and White Scars we get a fast and fluid war of manoeuvre and counterattack. It is refreshing compared to the endless grinding and trench-style of warfare so often the standard in 40k.

    This book was what made me fall in love with the tau. Yes, they can sweep across the imperium planets, they are brilliant strategists, but the book reinforces the sheer experience and prowess of the space marines as well. The book, unlike most imperium fans, tend to show both sides at their finest and worst. I love it, because it shows how much the tau can and have to adapt, much like me, who came from the star wars galaxy, have yet to adapt to the insanity of this galaxy... but i am doing so quickly, much like the tau.

    The Tau proved themselves admirably during the Damocles Crusade! But had it not been for the hive fleets, they would have been wiped away for sure.

    • @_NIKOS9_NIKOS
      @_NIKOS9_NIKOS Год назад +9

      I am not so sure. The Imperium was preparing to leave before learning about the nids, its just that learning about them made them save face. Keep in mind there are ALOT of xenos species who control way less territory than the Tau and are pretty much within IOM space and yet the IOM is unable to fully defeat. One such example are the Barghesi, the Imperium has tried to kill them since 30K (even Fulgrim was involved at a point) and yet the best they could manage was to contain them in their system.

    • @Lightscribe225
      @Lightscribe225 Год назад

      @@_NIKOS9_NIKOS I don't think so
      As Indomitus and Sabbat crusades shown, if at first you don't succed, get twice as many guardsmen and do it again.
      I don't see it as saving face, but priorities. Stop the nid from wating core worlds and reaching Terra, or stop the Tau from stealing some rim colonies? It's pretty obvious who takes priority. Though I'm sure water caste propaganda likes to paint it like the Imperials being humiliated.
      I think the best illustration of that was when the Tau take a fortress world. The water caste play it on loop for weeks across the empire as a major blow while the only person in the Imperium who cares is an administratum bean counter that gives it a few minutes attention shifting tithes around to compensate for the gap in logistics

      Just a clarification: The Damocles Crusade was a separate conflict from Warzone Damocles. The Damocles Crusade happened hundreds of years earlier and had the Imperium attacking deep into Tau space.
      GW made a mistake naming them both Damocles, since fans understandably get confused. You have a book called Blades of Damocles about the Damocles Crusade, and a book called Damocles about Warzone Damocles, and they're stories set hundreds of years apart.

    Great reading but I always disliked how they made the Tau seam so strong during the 3rd sphere expansion but they had to make all the Imperium strong forces somewhere else with little Astartes, Titans, Knights, and Sister's of Battle. Tau are strong but small and against the elite of the Imperium they struggle like how the 100 White Scars beat a whole force of Tau including some Battle suits. Now imagine a force of 10,000 or the 25k that defended Baal would beat any Tau force let alone the Legions of old that would wreck the current Galaxy.

    The question is...Do the Tau fully understand the scope of The Empire of Man and how impossible it is for anything permanent from these 'expansions' is? 'We have an alien empire breaching our boundaries' ....1000 years later...'Whoah...check this out...went straight to my Spam folder...maybe we should look at it?'

      Yes they do actually. They have Inquisitors, planetery govenors and other high ranked Imperials defect to them. They also do get information about other stuff that's happening in the wider galaxy that even the Imperium might not know about in detail from the various mercenary xenos that work for them (they even have spies out there). Not only that but recently Tau water caste diplomats have been spotted in areas FAR outside of the Tau Empire instigating rebelions and arming/organizing pirate groups to further weaken the Imperium. Sure the average joe might not know the details but the higher ups (not limited to the Ethereal Council) are probably more aware about what is going on in the galaxy than even some elites of the IOM.

      They have to know at least to a certain extent. Keep in mind that the Tau MO is not to fight big bloody wars with the Imperium if they can avoid it. They prefer to manipulate Imperial worlds into joining them willingly through diplomacy rather then invading and subjugating them through military might. That suggests that the Tau must know that they are outmatched overall in military might by the Imperium. However, if they can present just enough of a military threat for the Imperium to require significant resources to defeat them, yet not enough of a threat for the Imperium to dedicate those resources to destroying them, they can slowly expand and gather power. The Tau likely also understand that it is not in their interest to significantly weaken the Imperium. As the Imperium keeps all the other nasty stuff (Nids, Orks, Drukari etc.) in the galaxy in check for them.

    And btw i just cant shake the feeling that the tau are thieves...
    My head cannon says they have a STC... perhaps not a complete one yet they have one,
    I belive all their achievements came from the knowledge of humanity, yet they dare to assualt the imperium's worlds.

    • @latrodectusmactans7592
      @latrodectusmactans7592 Год назад

      The Tau would happily use an STC if they had one (They don't). They have no shame about using tech from other species they encounter; their ion weapons for example were traded to them by the Leagues of Votann. Their experimental new slipstream drive is based on Imperial and Kroot warp tech.
      But the Tau are absolutely talented (And very reckless) inventors. There's even a memorial on the Sept World of Bork'an dedicated to the many brave Fire Warriors who died testing dangerous new experimental weapons.

    ... these blue meatbags are just dead-weight to their extremely sophisticated AI. They'd win a battle-or-two if they'd step out of the trash-cans... and let their better, synthetic-half wear the daddy-pants. A classic-case of a dollar waiting on a dime. The Tau are a tragic example of evolution running away in an environment where something similar to the tree-sloth had no natural predators.

      You use all tools given to you in war, and something tells me that this exact sentiment is known to the Shas'O of the Fire Caste. Something tells me it not only doesn't work, but gives them even more incentive to speed up their staggering technological advancements to further screw over the Imperium's sad, stagnant, luddite tradition.

      ​@@enoughothis if the Tau where ever in a position to challenge the imperium's dominance the imperium would crush them
      the simple fact of the matter is the imperium is gigantic compared to the Tau and is currently fighting off orcs, nidds, chaos, neurons.
      if the imperium where to deem the Tau a threat they have more than enough numbers to drown the Tau in.
      and that's neglecting the fact that at current moment the imperium is likely becoming stronger at a greater rate the the Tau because Guilliman is coming in and fixing up the imperium. in addition to this the strongest pyskers in the galexy are humans (eldar are better on average but the standouts of the imperium seems to trump the eldar) and the Tau will never be able to challenge humanities Pysker supremacy.
      and even if that not enough humanity does have the divine power of making more money for GW
