“What is this is the 21st century “ I laughed harder then I should of for that comment
I prefer the older lore where the Tau's "brain washing" was more conjecture than stated cannon. It was just much funnier to me to imagine. "Well clearly they must be mind controlling the human converts to the greater good, who in their right mind would want things like... vegetables, or 'days off' when they could have corpse starch and live in a hive city, clearly Xenos witchcraft at work, i tells ya"

its more complex than that the imperium isnt all hive worlds particularly on the frontiers like this. the brain washing or whatever you want to call it has been in since day one as has farsight stuff so its not really changed

@@ABorderPrince you know I get that. Conceptually it's such a vast setting and the stories we get from 40k will always be centered on conflict. But again I think it's more nuanced to leave some things open to interpretation

I love how this story and the Taros campaign show how far the Tau have advanced in military tactics and equipment when dealing with the Imperiums naval assets. Their ships went from missile barges to fast attackers with a mixed armament more able to accomplish tactics like drawing away escorts to destroy troop & supply transports. It’s awesome to see and hopefully we get more books with emails like this for the Tau in the future.
The derisive disbeleif at the Tau not having broadside weapons is SO fitting

It's worth noting though that said battle force never made it further than a single major Sept. If they had an entire Battlefleet and a larger army of Militarum, perhaps the commitment of entire chapters of Astartes and multiple Titan Battlegroups, then they would have posed a threat to the T'au Empire as a whole.
@eichler721
3 ай бұрын
@LordCommander-ui2fw ya they thought it was a small force of expansion based on what the survey said and only single planets falling. If they sent a force the size of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade it would have caused massive damage to the Tau and possibly crippled them for centuries. Due to the sheer space power difference the Imperium would have. Now that size force would still cause damage but not nearly as much. However an Indominus Crusade would be a massive threat to the entire Tau empire. So it's all degrees of scale.
@SarajevoKyoto
Ай бұрын
Any battleforce containing Titans can't be called "tiny". The T'au broke a Crusade fleet and allowed them to leave due to unacceptable collateral damage to the Sept world. A minor frontier Sept world, at that. Bor'kan Prime would have swatted the entire fleet out of orbit like a mosquito, to say nothing of T'au Prime itself. Only Ultramar or Sol is better defended.
@eichler721
Ай бұрын
@SarajevoKyoto tens of millions of Guardsmen, a few hundred Astartes and one small for of Titans is a small Crusade if you read the Sabat world Crusade, Macharius Crusade, any Crusade force assembled to fight the Tyranids, Chaos, Necrons then this is small.
Nice!

The tau didn’t fit in narratively previously, they still hardly mesh well but they are better than they were. Also the tau are hardly a blue imperium, they are far more controlling funny enough.

@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus you must not know much about the imperium if you think the Tau are more controlling than them. I don’t know of any areas in the imperium inquisitors cant go but there are parts of the tau empire under auxiliary control that ethereals cant go to. They’ve been made so bland and uninteresting. Ethereals were supposed to be philosopher kings and instead they’re just mustache twirling villains like the high lords or primarchs. Can’t have anything special for the xenos though because it upsets marine fanboys
