Context is in [Enemy of my Enemy], ork boss Taktikus and IG commander Nestor forge an alliance, everything seems to be going well, quite well, friendly rivalries, even playing together in their free time, nids are defeated, then Nestor wakes up all tied up:
“‘And then?’ said Nestor, head pounding as realisation dawned. To his astonishment, Taktikus looked almost sheepish, like a vast child caught redhanded in an act of minor theft.
‘Well, I betrayed you, of course. The charge, with the tanks. It was… you know… a trick. We held back and… we got you.’
There was an awkward silence, and the xenos grumbled, before continuing. ‘You didn’t think…?’
‘No,’ said Nestor, trying to hide the lie. ‘I had… planned the same.’
‘It was an excellont campaign, still.’
'It was an excellent campaign, yes, Taktikus.’
Another long silence followed. Taktikus looked curiously at Nestor, and Nestor looked at Taktikus, who was no longer the nightmare hobgoblin he had first met in no man’s land, nor the clownish oaf who had played with model tanks in the war room. No, while his betrayer had plenty of each aspect, it was also something else entirely. He supposed that alien might be the right word for it.
‘I suppose the lesson,’ said Taktikus, with a faint glumness, ‘is something about knowing your enemy? Hmm. Reminds me…’
Then the beast issued a string of throaty barks in its own tongue, and Colonel Phocus was dragged from Thriambos’ shadow, led on a rope by a dulleyed hulk.
‘Now this one,’ said Taktikus, indicating Phocus with a flick of a claw as the man glared at Nestor through a swollen eye, ‘he knows his enemy. He was a sharp one. In fact, I’m going to keep him.’ It was only then, as Nestor figured out what was about to happen, that his heart truly deflated.
'Colonel Phocus,’ said Taktikus, with an odd air of ceremonial solemnity. ‘Please tell the general the big Imperial rule about negotiating with xenos?’
‘Don’t,’ mumbled Phocus through broken teeth, and spat blood on the ground.
‘Good,’ said the alien, nodding, and handed the man Nestor’s sabre. ‘Now, teach the general his lesson.’
Phocus trudged forwards, under the inquisitive gaze of the ork. Sighing with what he suspected was relief at last, Nestor closed his eyes and waited for the sabre’s kiss. “
Is it weird to think that the Ork almost seemed disappointed, almost sad even. Sad that the general didn't anticipate his betrayal?

taktikus is one as ork with tactical acumen
So if you don't meet a standards of course you would be sad
This is pretty common behavior for orks
When the fight they have gotten isn't fun for them they find it disappointing
opaque coyote
So if you don't meet a standards of course you would be sad
Basically like
"God damnit I expected more of a fight out of you humies."

For orks fighting is basically life
So when it doesn't meet their expectation
They're suitably disappointed

A bunch of weirdos

Pretty interesting story regardless though.
Also apparently the Orks learned how to play cards.

Of course they are a thing orks basically in compass every form of warfare
While they prefer the more straightforward tactics there are groups of orks that prefer to go to the back lines and stab someone or sabotage the enemy supplies

It's a belt fed fully automatic sniper rifle
Reminds me of a real sniper who used an M2 as well... a sniper
Vietnam War, his code name was the White Feather
Literally set up an M2 machine gun with a fucking scope attached to it
And used it as a sniper rifle
wanton stag
the ork kommandos are the sneakiest orks that aren't purple
opaque coyote
Yes he actually used this thing for sniping
Apparently also did one the longest sniper kills with this fucking thing
2.5k yards or 2286 meters away. It was a moving target on a bicycle
Still 9th place in terms of longest confirmed sniper kills to this day. Second in the US military specifically.
Literally can be a Belt Fed Fully Automatic Sniper Rifle.

The M2 Browning
Over a century old. Used as a heavy machine gun, a light machine gun, and even as a sniper rifle. Still used widely to this day.
Truly one of the most reliable weapons.

it's also why they don't sound very impressive, like the exaggerated bolter roar. the sound is based on real .50 cal sniper rifles. more a dry clap, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFB7-bvVKs8

A guardsman is forced to use a Heavy Stubber instead of a Heavy Bolter.
He sighs because he was stuck with a worthless piece of junk. He hears a loud roar as a bunch of Orks begin charging. Shooting, screaming, and yelling for their blood in their guttural language. The Guardsman immediately points the machine gun at them and begins firing.
For hours, he continues to fire, replacing barrels and reloading as it goes on. Somehow, throughout all of this, he holds the line and lives another day to do his duty.
Finally the Orks retreat. They need to regain their numbers so that they can krump again. The fight is over.
He looks at the side of the "box" area of the Heavy Stubber and sees a literal list of carved in names and places for where the gun was.
"What the feth is Iraq." He mutters to himself. "And why is it listed 10 times?"
He shrugs, and decides to appease the machine spirit. He will add yet another place that the gun has been.
"Armageddon"

The Guardsmen looked at the case, of ancient mythical names long forgotten. “Normandy”, “Vietnam”, and “Iraq”, scrawled and scratched all over the box.
arctic talon

It’s a machine gun that’s vaguely a sniper and is as accurate as a sniper
Also it has different firing modes for if the Kommando is using it as a sniper
Or just holding down the trigger
And letting it rip
spring cairn
why would he ever not let it rip
opaque coyote

Because sometimes he needs to be all sneaky

Waiting for hours, silent and still as a building

Also jokes aside the Kommandos have a lot of benefits for being in concealment

And the Ork biology kicks in and he starts shouting out WAAAGGGHHH while firing the machine gun sniper rifle on automatic

Not being in conceal

Tau having slow reaction speeds doesn't feel right but idk I don't fuck with them too much on TT or lore

They have bad reaction speeds in melee lore wise
As for the reasoning I got 0 clue
Their hands eye coordination is fine with chucking spears and pulling a trigger
queen laurel
They have bad reaction speeds in melee lore wise
How's the reaction speed in shooting
opaque coyote
As for the reasoning I got 0 clue
I guess due to them canonically having shit far away sight.
Which is funny

For a race that relies on ranged combat
spring cairn

idk, their military doctrine doesn't include sufficient melee drills
arctic talon
This is true
queen laurel
idk, their military doctrine doesn't include sufficient melee drills
It also doesn't help that they are physically weaker than a human when it comes to muscle mass
They can beat your average normal guy but you know a trained soldier is gonna smoke them

Def not the fire caste tbh
opaque coyote

Basically apparently T'au eyesight is actually kinda shitty. But they can see more colors than humans.

Big changes are less objective markers, equipment is universal now rather then per operative, and cover was rewritten to be easier to understand

T'au immediately gets hit by it. Straight into their face.
