Hey did you hear about commissar Yarrick death (I heard that it was the Demon Primark Aggron that did him in)
Always love content regarding the Farsight Enclave.
Back to back videos it's been awhile love it
Joseph is the best. The only one to fight naztis.
tbh; i was kinda more enthralled by staring at the sleeping dogs on your bed
Farsight realized melee battles with Orks give you plot armor, thus is the most effective strategy.
Possibly tru given what we know about orks
Might also be some Waaagh BS making melee combat the optimal method of fighting logic and reason be damned.
I mean if you think of it, mobile battlesuits are actually really useful at melee range. Being as agile if not more than an ork, able to utilize larger weapons with greater force, while being very protected.
And they painted their armors red, making them really fast
He also realized that putting a Sword on a battlesuit unlocks it's true potential. He then had a moment where he remembered all his friends and the promises he made to protect them. Powered up he jumped up from defeat with his new sword, made some line about how he would "protect his people" and proceeded to kick ass forever.
I love how the closest thing to good guys in 40k is the military junta led by an immortal vampire
Amazing comment
well sanguinius is considered the good est primarch so maybe they´re telling us something
@@arandomguyontheinternet2308 if you wanna be good became a vampire
I fail to see how what you said is any less than good. Seriously they are not "close to good", they're straight up good
@@KhoaLe-uc2ny Except they without hesitation kill humans even if they arent heretics. And they can slaughter any xenos planet without hesitation. Kids and all.
Farsight Enclave has the rare power of foresight
Nice one

You finally condensed what 40K is into a single sentence.
Thanks for having me man! It's been fun to talk Warhammer!
Can't wait to check out your new video next! Loving the 40k era of Gaijin Goombah so far!
Cool crossover.
Just got one criticism for your part. Tech Heresy is NOT dumb, and you are NOT dumb if you believe in it.
See, Chaos? It's subtle when it wants to be. VERY subtle, and it makes doing anything new technology speaking an uphill battle at best. You make a new model of lasgun that hits as hard as a bolt, yay for you right?
The circut pattern in the gun forms an unknown mark of Khorne, and now that lasgun is either possessed, or otherwise slowly corrupts it's owner. Just check out the Gaunts Ghosts novels for a pretty good example of this sort of thing as well as a good explanation as to what caused the Men of Iron Rebellion.
The Tau don't really need to worry about that due to their weak to non existent Warp signatures, but for everyone else it's a major issue that slows things down tremendously. (Unless you're the Orks, in which case things like this are a feature.)
@@Mongoosesummonerno
The crossover we didn’t expect, but the one that we needed
Wrong
The most ambitious cross over ever
@@benren7305wrong?
9:22 Farsight keeps an Eldar Vampire sword for self defense cuz magical wounds are impossible to stitch up
Just like the Ethereal's intended
Poor neughbours dog…
*Insert yankee doodle here*
*neighbours
I've always been annoyed that the tau get hit with the weeb card, but the eldar get a pass bc reasons. those MF's have literal gundam titans, are aided by the spirits of their ancestors, use guns that shoot razor sharp ninja stars, and each one has probably studied the blade longer than you've been alive. If the eldar were a faction that was released today, the community would collectively throw a anti weeb temper tantrum so large it would birth a new chaos god.
Also, they're elves.
Not even Gundam, but full on Evangelions.
@@sneedclavehere8918 yes. Farsight is just The red comet 40k. Red Mobile suit and all
@@sneedclavehere8918 Unpopular opinion: I don't really see as much anime inspiration in the tau. Yeah I can tell it looks like that but I have to be pointed out. The eldar is just too obvious.
Eldar is one of the best, classic, aesthetically pleasing factions. Also, they're more lawful good than Tau.
Also they know how to wear frigging shoes. Imagine having mecha but not shoes.
I don't mind the Tau poisoning the Tyranids. It's literally the same plot point from Dawn of War II. I can't imagine the poison working on all Tyranids, but poisoning the Tyranids is a thing.
well at least the tyrannids aren't an endless horde of doomsdays.
Can Nergal make something to kill them all?
@@josephpa05 yes and no its not a problem for nurgle to create something that kills nids really effectively but with the hive mind and super adaptability its highly unlikely to wipe out more than 1 fleet at a time chaos also hasnt shown much intrest in tyranids and vice versa tyranids dont strenghen chaos in any way + shadow in the warp and chaos is mostly demons so not really cost effective in the biomass department they loose more biomass fighting chaos than they gain also nids are weary of chaos since it could be an actual threat to them if i remember correctly they have some sort of measurs to mend breaks in reality spewing out warp entitys
@@josephpa05 no. The tyranids can adapt too fast to any toxin. Thjs case was possible due to the hive fleet being small (relatively)
@@josephpa05 Not really, any mundane disease isn't likely to succeed long term against the Tyranids. Their genetics adapt too quickly and the Norn Queens of the hive fleets know how to isolate an infection and can sacrifices thousands easily to figure out how to make an immunity.
Conceivably a warp fuelled sorcerous disease could work, but the issue there is it loses efficacy the further from the warp/chaos rifts you get and would have to contend with the shadow in the warp and Tyranid psychic creatures as well.
Pretty much the only place it has a shot is isolated pockets of Tyranids on Chaos worlds where there isn't enough of them to have an overpowering presence in the warp.
Sadly, those are typically worlds the hive fleets tend to ignore because chaos energy doesn't translate into usable biomass for them to consume. They generally only go after said worlds as a form of preemptive defense, since they could be a threat to a hive fleet's advance.
Still love that he's basically also just the Big Boss of 40k.
All Tau mechs are just better Metal Gears
Pretty good.
Arent’t Metal Gears Scout Titan size? I know REX is bigger and more massive than a Warhound at least. To Tau mechs get that big?
Also nobody in 40k has done an MGR and tossed a Titan yet. Seriously GW WTF? You’ve got FTL Custodes (because that’s perfectly fucking reasonable right?) give us some Rules of Nature!
@@Betrix5060 Ferrus Manus did take down a Reaver Titan analogue by taking out its leg tho that's pretty close.
Also no the Taunar Supremacy suit is the closest, and it only comes up to a Warhound's hip if I remember right.
@@Haloister 13 vs 17 meters but REX is still larger overall and has a hundred tons on the Warhound IIRC. Plus Raiden picked it up by the end of its blade and did the same but even more insane with Excelcus. No ever seen any Primarch strength feats like that.
I could see Guilliman trying to establish a military alliance with the Enclave in order to create a buffer state between the Imperium and the Tau Empire. I could even see a certain unlucky commissar with god-tier plot armor serving as the Imperium's official liaison.
Much as that would be interesting the sad fact is (and this is from a tau player) the Tau, especially the enclaves, are just to small to bother with either as a threat or as a potential ally. Give it a few mellenia for them to crack cloning and a new ftl system to expand out, then they may be more than a small blip but right now i dont think it will happen.
Unfortunately, Ciaphas Cain is dead
@@floricel_112 Not officially. (I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Amberly staged Cain's death in order to permanently take him into her retinue.)
The Enclave is far too small to be worth having an alliance with, and has no where near enough territory to actually act as a buffer. Besides, the primary Tau Empire is already occupying Ultima Sector space, as part of their Fifth Expansion via the Startide Nexus.
If Guilliman was to try and make any diplomatic agreement or alliance with the Tau, I'd imagine it being with the main Tau Empire, with the intention of having them help him recover some of the territory he lost to the Dark Imperium.
In a sense, the Tau did unknowingly already help him out, when they accidentally "intercepted" the Death Guard invasion fleet that was attempting to attack Ultima. The DeathGuard were surprised to warp into Ultramar space and find the wrong kind of blue guys defending it. Everyone plays that event as a "hurr hurr, how do you like dealing with Chaos, you naive Tau", but really when you think about it, imagine how pissed off the DeathGuard must have been to have their long planned assault screwed over by some random nobody xenos, who for whatever goddamned reason had decided to construct a fortress and assemble a huge defence fleet right on top of the rift in the warp that the DeathGuard wanted to enter by.
They'd have gone back into the warp during their withdrawal asking, "Who the f*** were those guys? Those weren't Ultramarines! Why couldn't we sense the bastards in the warp before we arrived!? Has Gulliman bred an army of blue skinned blanks? They died just fine to Nurgles basic gifts, but they shrugged off every soul plague like they couldn't even hear it. WTF man... They totally ruined our sneak attack into Ultima."
Meanwhile the Tau are just, "What the f*** was that!? What the f*** was that!? That was horrible! Is that going to happen again? By Aun'Va's beard I hope not. I'm not sure this warp travel stuff the Imperials keep gloating about is all it's cracked up to be. Holy shit, they smelled so bad that I'm still in therapy about it."
@@UnknownSquidlol, you made me laugh a lot. That's really an interesting thing to think about hahaha
17:05
So something funny about this is with the introduction of the Leagues of Votann into the setting, we now have a faction that could be interested in invading Farsight Enclave planets for the sole reason of whether said planets / system has a bunch of resources to harvest
Would be pretty cool tbh, two grey factions scrapping over rocks....for probably no long term benefit
@@muglypunt968 Well, one grey faction and one good faction.
@@ayylmao575 2 grey faction you mind wiped tau fuck
@@ayylmao575 niether of them are good. The enclave is a military junta with a cronyism network that replaced the oppressive caste system of the tau with.. the same thing.

Q
So you're telling me that Farsight found his secretly evil sword on a planet named *Arthas* Moloch
GW I refuse to believe that wasn't intentional.
On the day of your birth, the very deserts of T'au whispered the name... Farsight.

@@JC.Denton. warcraft reference
Should have been Frostmourn to be even funnier but yes
@@dog209 That would be waaaay too on the nose. Blizzard may get sue happy
I personally like the theory that the Dawn Blade is actually the sword, "Anaris" also known as the sword of Dawn Light. It was the blade that was wielded by the ancient Aeldari hero, Eldanesh, who used the blade to dual the God Kaine himself when he was still whole.
Didn't Khaine shatter Anaris after killing Eldanesh?
@@Haloister I'm not sure? But if the original blade of dawn light was shattered and the Dawn Blade that commander Farsight has now is merely made from one piece of it then that could open doorways to story directions where Farsight could collect the other pieces to create an even stronger sword to fight even stronger Demons to save his people.
His story might even start mirroring Eldanesh story and he might even get into a fight with either Korn or more likely one of Korns greatest Champions.
@@Jack-0-lantern Could be, the shard of Anaris is a eldar relic weapon so it works out
Except that theory was debunked because his sword is Khornite, not Khainite. The longer Farsight has been wielding that blade, the more he's been getting nightmares of him turning into a blood raged berserker of khorne.
Not to mention 8 is Khorne's number and farsight's team is called The 8
@@phantomwraith1984 Wait when was it confirmed that it's a Khornate Daemon Weapon? I always figured, but thought nothing had been confirmed.
My head cannon is the Orkz call Farsight “Da Red Comet”.
I believe that is an actual thing. He's one of the few Tau orks fear.
Isn't that just straight canon?
@@PhilosophicallyAmerican oh I thought it was just a silly meme.
Farsight is just 40k’s Char Aznable, after all. Red battlesuit, a preference for close combat, unmatched piloting skills, and has a rival that pilots a white battlesuit. Plus the whole secret Rebellion against the corrupt leaders of his old home.
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
Straight from Lexicanum
"The name 'Shas'la T'au Kais' was also featured in the first person shooter for the PC and Playstation 2, which was later adapted into a novel: Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, the protagonist being a Tau warrior first fighting the Imperium, then the forces of Chaos. However, this Kais is unrelated to Shas'O Kais, as O'Kais was a student of Commander Puretide, who died before the Damocles Gulf Crusade, while La'Kais wouldn't even finish his basic training until 200 years after the Damocles Gulf Crusade".
Two things first the book itself is of dubious canonicity. Second O'Kais was in the most recent Tau Codex alive during the 42nd millennium.
"The lawnmower has your back, and balls", sounds more like a subtle threat, rather than a reassurance
That's such a good idea about the sword! Maybe there's a Tau vs Aeldar story in the making.
In the words of a Eldar "the naivaity of the young"
That already happened. The Dark Eldar tricked the Tau into invading a Maiden World, which lead to the local Craftworld utterly curbstompimg them.
It's not an eldar khainite sword though, it's Khornite
Tbh I feel like the craftworlds would be somewhat friendly to the Tau
7:19 "the number remaining was higher then zero you see, and that just won't do"
if doctor Seuss rhymes were tailored for the 40k universe
I still believe that Farsight is a Shounen Protagonist he has all the traits.
I mean basically every other named character in the setting might as well be a shonen anime character anyway.
@@navilluscire2567 but there are specific rules in Shounen story telling. There was a list I found somewhere that said that it starts with the protagonist discovering that the World isn’t how they thought it was and the protagonist gradually grows as a person.
Definetly a pilot, since "piloting a battlesuit" is a quite common phrase in the sci-fi. Farsight enclave game would be cool, with space marine 2 on the way, who knows.
'Piloting' for crisis suits or bigger. 'Wearing' when its a stealth suit or smaller.
In the 8th ed Codex, they imply that Farsight's sword isn't JUST one of Vaul's creations, but is one of the five Crone Swords of Morai-Heg.
Which, would be super interesting, as the Ynnari REALLY want all five Crone Swords to fulfil their prophesy
I bet Commander Farsight would just give it to them.
If I remember correctly, the Ynnari already have four of the needed swords. The fifth? Locked away with the Prince of Pleasure himself.
@@Gala-yp8nx I mean he has been killing Orks with the damn thing, I wouldn’t be surprise the life essence of the Orks made him immune to de-aging.
@@confusedperson9723 I have to admit, a later reveal that 'The demon who told you that lied.' would be delicious.
Isn't the last one hidden up Slaanesh's curvy buttcheeks?
I get a Bill from Left 4 Dead vibe from Farsight. Just chilling out in retirement. Then a horde of monsters comes around, and he goes, "Well, time to get back to kill'n."
You don't wear Tau battlesuits, you sit inside a kind of cockpit and have a needle jammed into the base of your skull that supplies your control of your body with control over the battlesuit.
Unless your in a xv-25. Thats literally a suit XD.
It’s just a neural net link that connects to your physiological system. Also this AI chip of commander Puretide is simply an amplifier of your cognitive and tactical reasoning abilities. Cool stuff, and is one of the many reasons I like the Tau.
Dude. I have watched hours of lore on Tau, bought every Tau book, I played firewarrior and the Dawn of War and watched videos about them, not once has anyone ever mentioned to me that Shas'o Kais was the student of Puretide and the third protégé who stands toe to toe with Farsight and Shadowsun. Just wanted you to know how cool it is to finally have that connection and that you're the one who made it for me. Thanks dude. Insta subscribe
"I played firewarrior"
And people say daemonculaba is the worst fate in 40k...
@@valletasI loved that game when I was a kid, then I saw the mandy video after not thinking about it for years and... Wow, what on earth was young me thinking lmao

Commander Farsight:"So anyways I started punching."
Faright: "And i took that personally"
Farsight Enclaves for life! Trust not the Ethereals!
I mean Far sight did speak about how he isn’t the greatest fan of humans.
Long term Tau plans for humanity potentially seem to revolve around slowly killing it off after making them serve. This is one of the highest ranking military officers in Tau Empire, speaking to his officers in Blades of Damocles:
‘By a warrior’s tools you shall know him,’ quoted Farsight solemnly. ‘Just as the fire caste are defined by the Hero’s Mantle we all aspire to master, the Imperial soldiery is represented by the crude weapons you see here. In their hearts, they do not intend to engage at range, but to scrabble around in murderous close-quarters combat, stabbing and slashing. The most perfunctory of uniforms is the only thing separating them from their primitive, ape-like ancestors.’
A ripple of disquiet filled the holotheatre.
‘Such a barbaric race has no place upon a core sept world,’ continued Farsight. ‘They have no role in the universe other than to be brought to heel, culled and consigned to slow oblivion.’
And no I did not watch the entire video before posting this
No the Tau want to integrate humanity, especially their children who they mold into productive Tau citizens.
Just like the 4th Sphere Expansion.
I cant confirm this but im gonna assume its probably true, which is why i like the tau Empire more, they look after the humans and integrate them into the tau society, im sorry if im offending farsight fans but farsight will not accomplish that many great things, at least in a scale that would damage other factions greatly. İt has not been confirmed that ethereals use mind control and is just rumors, i think the reason tau value them is just because they have been taught that way, in their history ethereals helped uplift them as a whole, so when a ethereal meets them they probably feel like they met a hero. And yes i know ethereals did bad things like hiding the existence of demons, but how are you supposed to explain this without making the population go depressive, i mean hell even the imperium hid the existence of demons to not make people panic, i firmly believe the ethereals are trying to make their empire better, even if they have to hide some truths, because the other choice will lead their people to be hopeless, you cant just tell a soldier that the Empire we are fighting actually has like millions of planets while we only have a few thousand.
If you have seen the atrocities the Imperium have committed against the Tau this whole comment would be irrelevant.
Humanity in 40k are just like real life Monsters. Honestly the Farsight Enclaves should just kill all humans on sight especially after the shit I have read
but they won't be cause they want everyone to work together and I get it but Humanity are just the fucking worst
You make it sounds like a bad thing. The humans were pretty awful in 40k, farsight treated them the way he treats orks. Don’t get me wrong I’m no tau fan, but looking at the state of the galaxy and humanity as a whole, you can’t really blame him for coming to this conclusion?
The Farsight Enclaves are great for exactly the last reason you stated: Truly good, but not big enough to change the setting. That means that fans and even GW won't complain about them, and make them a target. It's just not necessary. "Yeah, there's some good in the galaxy. It's in that corner over there. Go there if you want, the rest of us are gonna build hate bombs."
It really puts into perspective just how bad the rest of the universe is by having that one pocket of good in it.
Oh fuck, Pancreas out here firing both barrels with the double upload.
The image of him walking up to his mech, smashing the museum glass and getting in his suit in front of a tour guide and a bunch of school kids is hilarious
3:56 Cant wait fo this great general to easily defeated because GW noticed that the space marines had gone 2 minutes without a good sucking
Then listen to them give us another stupidly bs excuse, cause everything has to be needlessly gRiM dArK. Except for the smurfs.
18 tactical marines pulling up in blacked out rhino tanks wanting to be sucked
Alright, it’s taken years of casually plinking away at different 40k lore channels but you’ve finally pitched a faction I’d be willing to play
The Enclaves are like a glimmer of light in the dark turmoil of the strongest waves. Blink and you miss it.
9:22
*Insert "I own a musket for home defense" bit*
I think a lot of people forget: grimdark means nothing without some sort of hope. Hope is what makes grimdark. Because there is the possibility of it getting better, but it'll never happen
If anything,grimdark without Hope is basically edgy shit we don't need or want or just grimderp!
Bloodborne is kinda like that but that's more horror based
Finaly, no one talks about the T'au, and the Farsight Enclaves are talked about less... I'm not a T'au fan, but I do hope the Farsight Enclaves win and the Galaxy is under the Greater Good, under the immortal God-Commander Farsight! Man that would be funny.
Yes inquisitor, this one right here!
The question is if he conquered the entire who would he kill to stay alive
@@cheesytacos6498 he will simply die and accept it, unless GW decides he's evil all of the sudden.
@@cheesytacos6498 I mean he’s killed daemons which are pretty much immortal sooooooooo

Love the idea of Farsight’s sword being what starts a war. Can’t imagine how much angst it would cause.
wdym I love when my bulls have the most indescribable agonising pain every time I take a step just because of a minute cut
I really don't get why people hate the idea of genuinely good people/factions in 40k. Like the galaxy is still uber fucked up and will stay fucked up no matter how much good there is. If anything I see it as even more grimdark that there are groups of people who no matter hard they try evil will always prevail.
well its more grim dark if everyone are evil
@@jmgonzales7701not really, the contrast can help elevate the darkness, if the only good faction is in a tiny corner of the galaxy that might be snuffed out makes things feel worse than if everything is dark all the time no exceptions, can't shatter all hope if there is no hope to begin with
@@jmgonzales7701 yeah pretty much, tau are such a tiny dot if you take them out of the setting nothing changes
@@jmgonzales7701"When everyone's super, no one will be."

When everyone's evil, who do we have to compare them to? If evil the norm and only state, then it isn't evil at all. There can't be darkness without light, even if that light is a mere candlelight.
@@ravenwhiteduck6460some things might have changed tho. If the Tau weren't there, more Tyranids would have attacked Imperial planets with even more devastating results. There is such a thing as the Straw that breaks the Camel's back.
GaijinGoombah showing up on this channel is like David Hasselhoff in the Spongebob movie.
The fact that Farsight is basically just 40k char and it works as well as it does baffles me to no end

*Orkz:* "Fair, we'dz do da same."

The horror elements of the Farsight enclaves and the Tau as a whole are less grimdark and more cosmic horror, around every corner is an unstopable ancient entity and they are always 1 mistake away from drawing the attention of something that could wipe them out
The good thing about the Tau is that they are so comparatively insignificant to the wider galaxy that most likely don’t even know they exist. If any other race caught on to the Tau’s potential, it would only take a single Tombworld of Necrons to wipe them out.
Also what's terrifying about the SCP universe aswell. Where the curse one guy put on himself when he was 7 nearly changed everything about the world
@@squakasog995 the even better thing about the scp universe is you can just not have that scp be cannon in your universe. (It's entirely a head cannon universe. Anyone who wants to argue it isn't hasnt read the wiki and the 7 or 8 001 proposals.)
I disagree, it is pretty clear they represent an orwellian society in its most advanced and pure form. Like O'Brien described INGSOC as an organic entity, the Tau are more of a single organism than a faction of individuals, as they bow so completely to the ethereals in every aspect of their life. That's really where the horror is, you are an individual trapped in a faction that functions like tyranids with a much more propaganda friendly aesthetic.
@@bobbirdsong6825 if the Tau were not individuals then Farsight never would have happened, and farsight has a group of individuals he fights with called The 8, additonally within the Tau empire there are still some like Shadowsun who hold their own personal motivations, the Tau are not like an organism at all, they are just traditional Sci Fi distopia and they do have the capacity to rebel as they occasionally do when new defectors join the Farsigh enclaves
Absolutely loving these back to back videos!! Keep up the great work!
I wasn’t expecting Gaijin Goombah. That’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile
Farsight Enclaves are unambiguously heroic now, but it's weird because he is like, otherwise blatantly evil-seeming
Like, they are a splinter group of traitor-warriors who follow a military commander and warrior, instead of an ethereal caste (Ie, someone who is a lot more of a diplomat) who helms a multi-species empire. On original publication, he had no alien allies, though this has changed. His warriors sport a blood-red paint scheme and use high-mobility blitz attacks. Farsight himself uses a potentially-daemon artifact that absorbs life, and the whole place is branded as essential "Tau Heretics." Farsight is also a pretty solid parallel of the Char Clone archetype from mecha series and Gundam in particular... And Char type characters are usually inspirational, but at least a maverick force (if not an outright villain)
I have to wonder, if when the Tau Empire was first made, if he was pitched as like "The Evil Tau" and just ended up the exact opposite as the series developed. Or, alternatively, if he was always intended to be this great and inspirational hero who was just like, blood red and war-focused
The sponsor glow up is sick my G! I truly enjoy your content and I’m happy to see you getting the support you deserve. 🤙
Dude I've been subscribed and sharing your videos with my friends for the last 2 years. Love what your doing and I hope your channel keeps on growing
Dammnn you uploading vids for two days straight bruh you are an angel truly
Great videos guys, binged them both.
I hope they eventually get thier own codex and defined army soon, if they haven't already that is. Do correct me if this is wrong.
I know right, I would love to see actual melee units or actual models for gue'vessa.
They're too small and utilize far too much of regular Tau units to have their own codex.
I suspect they'll get an Army of Renown.
@@stangerr0267 could just make a sept trait that infantry get x melee weapon and battlesuits get x melee weapon ig, far fetched but it’d be cool
@@stangerr0267 doesn't stop space marine chapters from getting there own codex despite the fact they'd have nearly 100% of the same technology offered to them from the mechanicus, while at this point they should be still nearly identical tech wise, in even just a few centuries with how fast tau advance there weapons and arms should be more different to eachother then any 2 space marine forces,
Love the FTL music in the background. Feels like the tau could play as the rebellion or even the federation escaping an astartes enclave
I m glad you got a Collab with a big channel like gumba's you deserve to grow a lot your content is great
The sheer amount of cool stuff in the enclaves just in this video is amazing. Why don't we have a book series on these guys!
I wasn't expecting mister "no self insulin" to make a video so quickly, but is a welcome surprised
On a roll with the uploads, keep it up
This was a good one man, GG was a solid guest appearance!
We have been blessed with more of Pancrease’s videos!
Tsunami versus orcs sounds like a great way to ensure your plan is never getting rid of those spores.
Already commented on this video, but just wanted to add A) Great work on the video. B) Man, we really needed this faction. If everything is grimdark, nothing is grimdark, y'know?
I still find it ironic that the Farsight Enclaves were first introduced as the token evil,barbaric, racist, isolationist Tau who betrayed the Empire, only for GW to later make the main Empire more moraly grey(at best) in order to appease people who complained about them being too good for the setting and retconed Farsight's people as as an even smaller faction that is undoubtetly good and moral and even more anime for the "few" people that still wanted to play the Tau as the good guys. Only for them to become by far the most popular/beloved Tau in the game (rip my boy Aun shi)
In the original lore from the 3.5 and 4e dexes, the sword was implied to be a C'tan phase blade of some kind. His sword, the Calidus' C'tan Phase Blades, and Necron Warscythes were the only melee weapons in the game during that era until the beginnings of 6th edition that ignored Invulnerable Saves.
A great piece of psuedo-lore that got lost along the way due to power creep
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle and eldar fanboying. Remember for lore: if it isn't about First Founding Chapters or Craftworlders, it's ultimately unimportant and will be changed as soon as it gets in the way of any masturbatory fantasy written by the high elf buttboy cabal of Ward, Kelly, Thorpe, and Dembski-Bowden.
Thanks for the crossover. This was fun. Maybe one day I’ll find a warhammer nerd who has way too many minis who can teach me the game that will lead to my having an all lego warhammer army?
Thanks for clearly chaptering the sponsorship portion of the video. So many youtubers don't.
Your dogs chilling on the bed while you talk about Manscaped was a highlight, ngl.
Tau do in fact exist
One of the species in all of Warhammer 40k
Well this is a collab I didn't see coming.
You're voice and delivery is incredible and I'm super glad you ended up in my feed.
Just the video I needed to watch on my lunch break
Honestly i haven't heard goombah speak since i watched his videos as a kid
Didn't expect him to speak without the high pitch effect
You can tell this guy does voice over style videos by the quality of his camera, he's got his priorities right
So one of the 8 is an A.I. An actual Xenos Abonimable Intelligence.That would send the average inquisitor in a berserker rage. (and make an adeptus mechanicus wet their robes)
The only thing the faction needs is an XV25 variant with Fusion Blades as a Troop Choice
Thank you for this deep and insightful video!
The Ad Begins At 0:50, And Ends At 3:04.
Always love your videos man
Wow you're really getting these out fast
You miss placed the bdsm scream, it wasn't during the T'au surrounded by Tyranids scene, it was around 10 seconds too early
Literally just watched ur Tau video maybe 20 mins ago, and now here we are
YESSSSSSSS 2 VIDEOS
I believe the dawnblade is more of a reference to stormbreaker, and if that's the case the blade is so haunted it will make the thing inside the blade of antwyr (a deamon so powerful that they need to dedicate the purest of purifiers, castellan crowe to constantly keep it in check) look pathetic in comparison. Just wait for a time when he can't kill enemies for a whole month and he will get mad, if not instantly die of old age.
I have always loved the Tau, because they’re so like what humans used to be.
Ehhh. The Damocles Crusade will always get endlessly misrepresented won't it? Even when the person mentioning it isn't actually trying to talk down on the Tau for once.
I know it's pedantic, but I gotta keep busting this myth where I can. The big myth being that the crusade ended because of the Tyranids. It didn't. The Wendall Gauge had already given the order to make a full retreat of all Imperial forces from Dal'yth well before the order came from Kryptman regarding the Tyranids. At the point that the news arrived, Imperial forces had already virtually completed Operation Hydra (the crusades evacuation operation), with their forces concentrated on the space port making their withdrawal, and crusade leadership had were already in the process of diplomacy with the Tau, to negotiate a mutual ceasefire and un-harried retreat. ( Fun fact, entering diplomacy with xenos during a crusade to purge said xenos, is NOT standard Imperial policy, and not something done when in a dominant position.)
Aside from the considerable losses in terms of Tau forces, the Crusade actually did pretty much f*** all to the Tau. In total it kicked their embasies off of two Imperial worlds, and then razed a tiny fishing outpost and a very minor fringe farming world, totalling less than a million in population between them. It stopped dead on Dal'yth, the literal first developed Tau world it encountered. Beyond any infrastructure damaged in the fighting, the Tau lost no territory, and nothing of importance. The Crusade had already lost one third of it's fleet by the time the fighting peaked on Dal'yth, these being primarily it's combat vessels and capital ships, which left it with a huge fleet of vulnerable transports and not enough combat vessels left to defend them should another engagement occur. The crusades leaders knew they couldn't risk continuing like this, hence the controversial decision to make a diplomatic withdrawal instead of just giving the usual Imperial middle finger and dropping an exterminatus before leaving.
(Also the Space Marines declared that doing an exterminatus would be a pussy thing to do, and make them look like sore losers, since they'd actually gained a degree of respect for the Tau as adversaries during the fighting.)
The Tyranids were merely the final nail in the half buried coffin that was the Damocles Crusade. Would have made no difference had they never arrived, spare that the Imperium _might_ have tried to muster reinforcements for a second attempt. ( Note that they never did. In the centuries that have passed, the Imperium made a single attempt to exterminate the Tau, and then decided it wasn't worth the trouble.)

This channel is so good where has it been my whole life 😊
Wow... I maybe a new fan to both 40k and this channel but I didn't expect this kinda of collab
Honestly, I didn't expect the gaijan goomba heel turn to Warhammer but I'm here for it
What got me the most was the " Number remaining was higher than zero you see and this simply will not do " makes me rewatch and laugh at it every time.
Wow that was an INCREDIBLE VIDEO, thank you so much
Also people tend to forget that Ultramar is essentially a paradise system, the quality of life on many of its worlds for everyday imperial citizens way above standard. You don’t have to look that deep for pleasant parts of 40k, only have to look deep if you don’t like the Imperium
Okay I'm gonna keep it real with you pancreas in the manscape ad I saw the sleeping doggos in the background and that's all I was looking at.
9:22
Just as the founding fathers intended
what a funny red hat on the corner of your bookshelf in the left lmaooo
Gonna have to skip this ad out of fear that you will *show* us how good the product is.
Dude. during that respectful ball trimmer promotion, I instantly thought. You’re definitely a Mitchell 😂
