      +ConorChaos This is true, but then you cant really hear the words seeing as the popping is about the same volume. The pictures are nice but not really why I am here. Also, pretty sure there has never been speakers/headphones on which you cannot reduce the volume and therefore I must conclude you are being sassy and no one likes a sassy person. If you were not being sassy then I apologize

Even worse : the guys who control them, who they revere, may have already planted the seeds of a dark turn for the tau race. As, you know, they mindcontrol them.

      They've fought demons before. But never attributed their existance to be anything other than any other kind of monster. Farsight fought them more than others and may have been tainted by that fact.

    • @joost1120
      @joost1120 6 лет назад +4

      Demons don't really care about Tau, they don't have any warp presence. There is no reason why demons would fight them for any reason other than self defense.

    • @000Mazno000
      @000Mazno000 5 лет назад +14

      Demons are mostly drawn to beings with strong psychic powers (notably humans and Eldar,) because psychic power is drawn from the Warp, the alternate dimension demons come from. Tau have almost no connection to the Warp at all, so rarely encounter them, though they have before at least once (see:Commander Farsight.)
      It's also worth noting that, in 40k, demons aren't actually magical or supernatural, but basically incredibly powerful aliens from a different dimension.

      I think this question will require some extensive experimental testing to verify, now to proper explore this we're going to have to filter out all the possible variables so we're going to need only young fertile tau women at the height of their reproductive cycle, and we're going to have to have members from all castes, preferably several members from each caste just to take into account possible genetic or reproductive factors that may hinder the experiment, and obviously we'd have to repeat the experiment multiple times... all for science of course, ahh what burdens we scientists must suffer for the greater good

    Actually, if you remove the "head" of the exosuit, the torso actually does look vaguely dreadnaught-ish, with a bulging central segment flanked by two slightly recessed areas on both sides. And sure the exosuits don't look so sleek, but have you seen Dreadnaughts? I've seen concrete bunkers shaped more sleekly than Dreadnaughts, so it's not like that's a high bar...

      They are a Super Power due to circumstance. Man may have more than enough to crush them, but they are spread way too thin fighting their own impending doom to be a huge threat. And once that carcass in the Golden Throne dies (he gets closer every day), man is done for anyways. No race can show up and set up shop in Tau space without VERY stiff resistance... Patience killer applies to the human situation.

      But do they have the firepower and brains to hold their own in the face of any threat? Ok, even if they aren't a 'super power' yet, they will be over time. Their only weakness lies in the fact that they cannot travel long distances in the warp. That, and those weak etherals they damn near worship. Let the fire warriors run the show and give them normal warp travel, and it'll be a totally different story. They just need time.

    You got one small thing wrong.

The presence of the humans scared the Tau so badly that they formed together and became the modern Tau over several millennia.

    "fact 4" is untrue.
    Tau were an attempt to bring the Beastmen army's tactics and playstyle, as well as aesthetic, into 40k properly due to general dissatisfaction with the Rogue Trader era beastmen, (Andy Chambers)
    The tau fire warrior is clearly to scale with and has the same basic body-type as the classic ungor. They also play with a similar highly mobility-focused army with low leadership numbers.

  • @REgamesplayer
    @REgamesplayer 8 лет назад +4

    So, how they cool of? Like dogs? That means that Tau has zero endurance, especially in hot climates and they rely on their armor suits to keep them cold. This would mean that in hot enviroments, all you need to do in order to beat Tau is to launch a massive EMP strike on the battlezone and then forcing Tau to war of maneuver. In this way you will simply outwalk Tau since Fire Warriors will be completely unable to match requirements for this level of endurance. Even though, I do not expect logic and consistency to apply for w40k anyways.
    Hoofs also impact movement in a negative way. Hoofs are fine for brutish movement, but they completely lack any subtlelty. For example, a hoof is a nice pressure point which propels body forwards, same as a feet. The issue here is that feet is capable of far wider range of movement. Its fingers and length helps to shift pressure around it and thus, better control movement of a person. This is why we essentially can dance and perform other accrobatics. Tau on the other hand has a very rundamentary control capabilities, instead of our 360 degrees movement capabilities, they have only 4 basic ones and additional directional movement must come from hips rather than a foot thus making movement for Tau just pathetic. It is like asking horse to dance and horses have 4 hoofs thus easier time in maintaining balance. I can see now why they suck so badly at melee. They are blind, unable to move, I bet that I could slay a fire warrior in full body armor by beating him to death by random household items.

      +OneMindSyndicate It's a 40k Role-playing game, think Dungeons and Dragons style of pen and paper RP but set in the 40k universe.
      The Rogue Trader campaign is rated to be one of the more lenient ones as you play as a crew of voids-man (Or the Rogue Trader himself) exploring the universe and doing whatever the GM puts against you! It's great as there is no real objective, it's whatever the crew wants to do.
      The reason I found this a great reference was due to the factor that you CAN play as Tau in the game with the humans (along with other xenos) or go against them.

    fact 64 for sounds to me a bit Incomplet
    The Tau do not possess psykers (indeed, their minds barely register in the Warp at all) and as a result have little knowledge of the Immaterium beyond its existence. This gives them some level of resistance to Warp-based powers affecting the mind, but it offers little, if any, protection against physically-manifested offensive psychic powers. They are largely unaware of the perils of the Immaterium and for this reason the Tau have conducted research into the Warp on Medusa V, however, the conclusion was reached that further research was unfeasible, and that "the Warp is no place for the Greater Good and is best left to those foolhardy races who cannot pull back from that terrible realm." Ethereal Caste members also have a diamond-shaped bony ridge on their head. It is believed by Imperial scholars that through this organ the Ethereals exert a pheromone-based or latent psychic control over the other Tau castes to keep them focused on the Greater Good, but this is mere speculation, and no evidence of this has yet been found.

      +MrSupergambo the tau is the sum of their parts. they do know about the warp. their ships break into it by sheer power of technology.

    • @MrSupergambo2014
      @MrSupergambo2014 9 лет назад

      +Dan Thompson and what is your point becouse i never said they would have no warp engines or could not enter the warp and as far as i know all races with the exception of Necrons and Tyranids in 40k capable to travel through the warp use at least some kind of technology and by the way the warp travel which the tau are capable of is not very efficient compared to other races.
      The Tau, because they lack psykers as a race, are incapable of fully entering the warp. However, based on duplicating the warp drive from an unknown alien vessel they have found a way of 'diving' towards the warp, extending the field of their drive into a wing shape designed to hold their vessel in the warp, before being hurled into real space again like a ball held under water and then released. While this is much slower, by a factor of five when compared to Imperial jump speed, it is a lot safer because they do not enter the warp deep enough to become exposed to any of its dangers, and is also much more predictable as their speed works out to a consistent rate. Nevertheless, this limited form of warp travel has resulted in the Tau Empire being closely packed around their home system.

    • @mirrormonstere113
      @mirrormonstere113 9 лет назад

      +MrSupergambo they use another race within their empire that can jump further than the empire. just like the empire, the tau are a sum of their parts.
