first rule of unarmed combat...have a ranged weapon while your enemy is unarmed, preferably in the open, while you shoot at him from behind cover -tau empire fire warrior training manual.
The tau didn't win the Imperium was gearing up to go into full war against the tau and only reason why the imperium left was because the tyranids showed up and they diverted all the forces they were gonna use to wipe the tau out to defend from the tyranids and when a very very very small splinter fleet showed up the tau crapped their collective pants and lost 12 worlds just to panic had that splinter fleet showed up at an imperial world it could have been killed off by the pdf and local guard forces also the Tau attacked the imperium thinking it was too weak to defend its self and once they did realise they waited 100 years and thought the imperium had let go of the worlds the crusade shocked the hell out of the Tau the only thing is tau learn their lessons fast and choose that poking the bear was the wrong choice when you're that weak
Emps:As long as they fight for the Imperium it is alright. Kitten:They don't even fight in melee! Emps:...HOW CAN THEY NOT FIGHT IN GLORIOUS CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT!
Farsight and The Aun'shi fight in close quarters combat so it might not be far fetched to have Fire warriors fighting in close quarters they might not be effective but they can still fight tho...
Same is the case for litteraly evrey other group. If the imperium only fought the eldar they would winn. Same for emperium vs ork or imperium vs necrons

You numbers are off. It your not wrong most guard regiments are 20 to 100 thousand strong and he said 9 companies of space marines which compromise of about 900 marines total but you most definitely not wrong

Tau: “Hi, wanna trade and share? Perhaps we can work together to make the galaxy peaceful!” Imperium: “P...Peace?” *vomits in mouth* “We sense a lack of orchestrated suffering, we will correct you.”
I feel like all 40K Lore is a bit unbalanced... I mean a few basic Necron warriors could literally defeat an entire Crusade by themselves theoretically, yet somehow the Imperium manages to actually beat the Necrons - invincible, superweapon carrying creatures who have entire worlds turned into storage for their armies.
Question: What are the stipulations for the bell of lost souls to be tolled? In my mind, it probably is constantly being rung but how big of a hero do you need to be to get that honor?
Most common number that gets thrown around is that there is 1 space marine for every imperial world and before the primaris marines there was maby a million of them.
do you think what could be if the tau find sigmar floating in some forgotten area of the space, while holding ghal maraz? do you think that if they invite him, he would join the tau empire?
You omitted to tell crucial information about this battle and had painted it as somehow Tau victory. It is the exact behavior which earns ire of other faction fans. Tau was pushed at its breaking point by Imperium's last offensive. Imperium was forced to withdraw due to Tyranid invasion elsewhere. Otherwise, Imperium would had received another batch of reinforcements and would had pushed Tau out of planet. Not to mention that their campaign, such as it was had genocided all Tau population in the their areas of occupation.
@@edgardeloera2874 Lore videos in general should represent how things went down as I had no clue those perspective it was from. Author missed really a lot of stuff during his lore video like Imperial pushes, assassins, void combat, etc. etc.
The tau werent really pushed to breaking point because they recieved daily reinforcements from nearby planets. As well as a protectorate fleet forming nearby but yes the only reason the tau did survive is because reinforcement did not come thanks to the nids. But the remaining forces could have been trapped on the planet if the Tau decided to just end it instead of trying to learn how strong the enemy is.
The Tau are my favorite now, they are the last ones with common sense in a world were it seems to have lost it And I like that, unlike the other stagnated races, the Tau is growing technologically superior by the hours But ofcourse my favorite would always be the Tyranids
@@OneMindSyndicate If the Imperium really wanted it to happen, it would happen regardless of anything the Tau did. The Imperium is the largest and one of of not the most powerful faction in the Galaxy barring Chaos. The Tau is relatively small and extremely new. The Tau fleet would not last if they really made the Imperium mad. Also, all it takes is a single shot of some of the Imperium's weapons to destroy a world. The Tau would not be able to stop a single bomb shot towards a planet regardless of their fleet.
@@noneofyourbusiness2437 You are forgetting that the imperium is currently cut in half, at war with all major faction and constantly quelling rebellion all over its empire. The Tau can handle what the imperium has left for them. The reason Damocles Crusade were able to get to the Tau empire unhindered was the fact that the fleet the Tau were using that time was called the SIlken Crusade. A merchant caste fleet, literally merchant ships that are armed to the teeth. They wanted to convert Damocles Gulf with as little tau death as possible. Reason why the 3rd sphere of expansion was more successful in void combat was because the Tau actually sent a proper protectorate fleet (fire caste fleet). If it wasnt for the fact that the Imperium using a plot armor type exterminatus not only destroyed the world but also emit a constant firewall that prevents the tau to bring the rest of their fleet to Damocles then they would have already taken over it.
Damn....imagine if fire warrior was set upon that imperial forge world they were trying to convert. Before it ends up corrupted by Chaos. Dark tide vibes but with fish people. 🤔

Most comments I see are the Tau are more humanne and shit, but I remembered looking something called the man of iron (btw Im still new to warhammer 40k) which they revolted against the makers, because they think used as tools and think they're more superior, I also looked up that humanity used to have Alliances with other Xenos one point, until the xenos started thinking (I think) humans are weak or something, so there became a little war, certains species were extinct after fighting the Imperium and it later came that humanity can no longer trust aliens anymore, since you never known they can betray you. Anyways thank you for a clear answer, I also just realized most races followed the same formula of being good until reality hits hard.
Last time the Astartes did that, the Tau were able to infiltrate a battlesuit inside the ship and literally kicked the exterminatus which wiped out their forces.
Vengeance for Lilarsus (876.M39) - The Maiden World of Lilarsus is destroyed by expansionist Tau forces. This provokes a bloody response from Iyanden, and the Ke'lshan sept colony Ka'mais is reduced to rubble during the reprisals. The Tau counter-attack, though slow to mobilise, is determined and well-coordinated, and the aliens recover the wreckage of several Wraithguard as the Eldar withdraw. Earth Caste scientists are fascinated by their prizes, thinking them to be more sophisticated version of their own Battlesuits. However, the secrets of psycho-conductive wraithbone prove to lie far beyond the Tau's clumsy grasp, and the wreckage is soon recovered when the Eldar return in force. Despite the innate superiority of the Eldar, the Tau prove themselves incredibly tenacious, and the conflict continues for several weeks, until both sides discover that actions are being manipulated by the Dark Eldar Archon Andross Klax. The Eldar of Iyanden disengage, and the Tau extend the hand of friendship, hoping to learn the technological secrets of their recent foes. The Council of Iyanden icily ignore the primitives' offer and bend their efforts towards making Klax pay for the unnecessary carnage he has caused.
Demiclea I think chaos was more interested in corrupting all the other members of the tau empire like the Kroot and vespids which is why the tau who survived became so xenophobic.
They are either running the f**k away from the Tyranids, or they are expanding in whatever galaxy they are from and absolutely destroy everything. So, either they get obliterated and absorbed by the Imperium, or they obliterate and absorb the galaxy. The fact that they can travel between galaxies says it all.
@@OneMindSyndicate I rather have blue space communist with hooves. Then tyranids eating me alive and destroying my home world while why the chaos horde ready to strike at any point. Anyways great work guys keep doing the work.
@@HTMR-de8gz They actually do, after damocles crusade they were able to negotiate with the Imperium things like information and star charts to let them escape tau territory unmolested. Thanks to Damocles crusade they left behind countless humans and inquisitors whom joined the Tau as Guevesas. There is even a human inquisitor who commands human firewarriors piloting a modified crisis suit. Point is you bet the tau watercaste were able to get more info from them. Tau watercaste still do trade with rogue traders and probably got information from them about what is happening around the galaxy. Tau do not purge xeno races but actually assimilate them. Imperium planets who converted to the greater good will have information.

Vengeance for Lilarsus (876.M39) - The Maiden World of Lilarsus is destroyed by expansionist Tau forces. This provokes a bloody response from Iyanden, and the Ke'lshan sept colony Ka'mais is reduced to rubble during the reprisals. The Tau counter-attack, though slow to mobilise, is determined and well-coordinated, and the aliens recover the wreckage of several Wraithguard as the Eldar withdraw. Earth Caste scientists are fascinated by their prizes, thinking them to be more sophisticated version of their own Battlesuits. However, the secrets of psycho-conductive wraithbone prove to lie far beyond the Tau's clumsy grasp, and the wreckage is soon recovered when the Eldar return in force. Despite the innate superiority of the Eldar, the Tau prove themselves incredibly tenacious, and the conflict continues for several weeks, until both sides discover that actions are being manipulated by the Dark Eldar Archon Andross Klax. The Eldar of Iyanden disengage, and the Tau extend the hand of friendship, hoping to learn the technological secrets of their recent foes. The Council of Iyanden icily ignore the primitives' offer and bend their efforts towards making Klax pay for the unnecessary carnage he has caused.

tau vs slaneesh cult
Yes their was a whole sphere of expansion where that's all they did
Demiclea I think chaos was more interested in corrupting all the other members of the tau empire like the Kroot and vespids which is why the tau who survived became so xenophobic.
there were a lot of sore faces on the tau’s side
tyrone jmal yup
There was, almost even broke the tau morale as a whole, then Farsight became COMMANDER FARSIGHT then things changed.
0:02 this doesn't seem right would the space marine up close destroy the tau infront of him
What'll happen when humans return fron other galaxies ?
They are either running the f**k away from the Tyranids, or they are expanding in whatever galaxy they are from and absolutely destroy everything. So, either they get obliterated and absorbed by the Imperium, or they obliterate and absorb the galaxy. The fact that they can travel between galaxies says it all.
You can already guess because this is age of everything goes to deep dark shit so tyranids are the right one XD
Great video
You need a better mic man
If star trek were a 40k faction
For the Greater Good!!!
nice i like this 1 too
Virgin imperial knight VS Chad stormsurge
I appreciate the effort you've put in to this but it's quite hard to understand what you're saying. You're mumbling quite a bit
Why can't we all be friends and defeat the real threat of tyranids and the chaos hordes.
Here Is Now because Tau have hooves instead of feet.
@@OneMindSyndicate I rather have blue space communist with hooves. Then tyranids eating me alive and destroying my home world while why the chaos horde ready to strike at any point. Anyways great work guys keep doing the work.
@@ym6294 The inquisitor is ready for you now.
The Tau have almost no knowledge of these threats, and their unlikely to grasp them until it is far to late.
@@HTMR-de8gz They actually do, after damocles crusade they were able to negotiate with the Imperium things like information and star charts to let them escape tau territory unmolested.
Thanks to Damocles crusade they left behind countless humans and inquisitors whom joined the Tau as Guevesas. There is even a human inquisitor who commands human firewarriors piloting a modified crisis suit. Point is you bet the tau watercaste were able to get more info from them.
Tau watercaste still do trade with rogue traders and probably got information from them about what is happening around the galaxy.
Tau do not purge xeno races but actually assimilate them. Imperium planets who converted to the greater good will have information.
I like the Tao, they seem cool.
2:55 KILLL IT
You're really thorough, and very well worded, but man, every third word takes a minute because I can't *HEAR YOU* . Please, speak up and enunciate, please. I wanna watch watch too :(
The Tau will be wiped out, they know these worlds dont belong to them but still try to steal 'em. Very arrogant.
if guillaman jeeps fixing stuff maybe the tau and the imperium can respect eachother, i mean the tau are basically ultramarines
very devoted and they both respect nature and all citizens of theri respective empires
tau best
*FIX BAYONETS!*
Dood good vid. But please do not chop up the sentences and speak more clearly/freely like when u gave your thoughts from 13th min.
Exterminatus?
Every time the Imperium loses an angle gains their wings.
Are they the most effective in terms of tactics?
Of course the IMPERIUM will always win blah blah blah
