Sound similar to IQ and other BS

glad prism
atomic pelican
#

Its even less founded than IQ since you could fail PE and itd drop you down omegalul

I remember telling my old man I failed math once and his response was "you're also failing to take out the garbage right now"

PE literally what kept me from a perfect gpa btw

That test seems dumb

glad prism
#

Pommel horse and floor was what I was best at

plucky moth
#

I almost knackered myself on pommel horse lmao

atomic pelican
#

I handled the test by making a pact with all the other unfit kids that we'd drop out at the same time

#

We all dropped for the weakest link

#

solidarity forever

frosty cobalt

#

A kid broke his rib on one I think after he lost his grip and fell over onto his chest

I could never commit fully to pommel horse for fear of the groin glassing

They're p smart too

frosty cobalt

Ah yea

odd sparrow

Which bit are u referencing im confused

glad prism

She was a shitheel, should have seen it coming

vapid tiger

Phil talks about people usually seeing space marines as heroes, but he likes to portray them in a different perspective

#

Being monsters

atomic pelican

atleast in the stuff i touch

yeah idk how much other stuff he's read lol

atomic pelican

I mean they're portrayed as heroes in marketing

atomic pelican

BABIES

cerulean wagon

and has gone "tau are the answer to fixing 40k and give us the ability to see the little guy fighting against the eldrtitch"

basically the more i read the more it sounds like he just wants to make the imperium but as "good guys"

This is the advantage of playing cults

frosty cobalt

The one with like 5 pistols is great

runic wharf
#

Never enough necrons

cerulean wagon
#

Like me wanting them as good or bad is another discussion

This feels like "well i want to write IG but i also want to be special so i'm not writing IG. Also chaos is icky so my people arent affected by it because they dont work like that"

atomic pelican
#

In theory you could write a traitor regiment that wasn't chaos

#

That'd actually be pretty neat

cerulean wagon
#

it would wouldnt it?

runic wharf
atomic pelican
#

Yee

#

Only War

runic wharf

Soul drinkers

atomic pelican
#

Ah

#

Only War has the uhhh

#

I forget the name

#

Dominion?

cerulean wagon
#

the only war one is cool

atomic pelican
#

Imo we also need traitor SM who aren't chaos

odd sparrow
#

i do feel like the whole tau philosophy has the unique ability of sorta counteracting corruption is fairly interesting. Like, i like the idea of how the tau empire is basically designed from the ground up by the ethereals to be like, optimal

cerulean wagon

#

Yes!

POG POG POG

cerulean wagon
#

he even straight says "no chaos tau will exist in the books, they dont work like that"

odd sparrow
#

tbh i dont see any real issue with that

#

maybe it's just the tau stan inside me but chaos tau would be janky af

odd tulip
#

I'm all in favour of shaming boobplate as impractical but literally everything in 40k is impractical so who gives a shit

odd sparrow
#

yeaaaah like

barren tapir
#

Tau can be possessed, and influenced by chaos

cerulean wagon
#

the fact hes then using the chaos power to still boost their powers ratty but making them immune

odd sparrow
#

the boobplates are the least offensive element of the SoB

#

looking at u organ rocket launcher

cerulean wagon
#

its literaly his OCs, leaning on self insertism

atomic pelican
#

Yeah now that I think about it

odd tulip
#

How the fuck does a thunderhawk fly?

atomic pelican
#

Farsight is starting to feel that way

gaunt vector

I wonder how Exile will be

odd sparrow

runic wharf

#

Tau aren't immune to chaos, they just aren't interesting to it... At least until now

cerulean wagon
barren tapir
#

There are quite few instances of chaos taking an interest in them

cerulean wagon
#

there wont be chaos tau but they will benefit from the touch of the dark gods

gaunt vector
cerulean wagon
#

are tau just saiyans now

odd sparrow
#

yeah i never interpreted it as an immunity thing. like, how phil seemed to present the thing with farsight is that he was set out a path by tzeentch&co (ur ethereals are dead, now fight a civil war) but he unknowingly turned away from it and just fucked off

#

which is like, p reasonable imo. it's not outright magical immunity to chaos nonsense

odd sparrow
gusty fulcrum
barren tapir
#

This phill seems to like spit BS

odd sparrow
#

wait so like, yeah idk

barren tapir
odd sparrow
#

Is farsight actually getting boosted by chaos? He's getting boosted by his anime sword but idk if phil ever stated what that was

gusty fulcrum
cerulean wagon
#

him and kais (the specific kais he tried to pact with with shadowsun)

gaunt vector
frosty cobalt
runic wharf
#

Also if i remember correctly red coursairs relictors and nights of blood are all renegade traitors but not chaos tainted

odd sparrow
#

idk i think it would be redundant. like, ig it's possible in the fluff?

cerulean wagon
#

"-Kais is obsessed with being the perfect killing machine. The one man army. That's how he deals with the trauma of war. In his pursuit he had become something monstrous.. There is a sense of otherness about him. He is inhuman (enter the T'au equivalent of this word). Phil says it's possible that the touch of Khorne is upon him"

gaunt vector
#

FOR KHORNE! fires ranged weapon

barren tapir
odd sparrow
#

we've had tau be possessed and they're clearly not like, warp resistant or nullifying like dwarves in fantasy

gusty fulcrum
odd sparrow
#

But i still think it would be silly

runic wharf
frosty cobalt
#

I miss the FTL we had

#

Why couldnt tau just be all svience

odd sparrow
#

man why tf would you call a character kais

#

not great for readability there are like seven

frosty cobalt
#

Yea

#

Its not the best haha

atomic pelican
#

The chad many Kais'

gusty fulcrum
#

@runic wharf its like mix of skimmin the warp combined with basicly railgun like acceleration

#

they place warp boyies to jump to

frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

But ye that's sorta odd but it doesn't seem that bad to me? Again like, nothing here seems to be implying that he thinks tau are completely warp resistant or nullifying

atomic pelican
#

I heard he could take on a lord of change with a railrifle

frosty cobalt
#

Also took down a chaos dread single handedly🤣

odd sparrow
#

just that the tau philosophy can sorta reverse uno card it in some capacity

barren tapir
#

The tau had, before retro engineering an imperial warp engine, a very weak "warp" engine, which didn't sent them into the warp, but just skimming it, that was what made their expansions slow

odd sparrow
#

which i dont mind, the whole greater good gimmick is basically at the centre of the factions identity so making it do stuff is fair

gusty fulcrum
#

THe tau also have one or two races that act as PSUEdo NAvigators

frosty cobalt
gusty fulcrum
#

SOme wierd floating space bears and like something else

runic wharf
#

Also i just looked at my list sweet fuck there are alot of renegade non chaos astartes

odd sparrow
#

do nicassar&co actually do anything for their warp travel? I remember it being fairly inconsistent

barren tapir
#

Nope, they have psychic client races, but not navigators

gusty fulcrum
odd sparrow
#

they should've just given the tau regular ass warp travel tbh, it's gotten so convoluted now

frosty cobalt
odd tulip
#

The Tau's relationship with the warp is a super interesting aspect of the franchise that exactly 0 BL writers are interested in writing about

cerulean wagon
#

the only one allowed to is phil swift

runic wharf
odd sparrow
#

And other material states that they skim on top of the warp, basically like a more lowkey version of proper warp travel

barren tapir
odd sparrow
#

They handle it SO weird

frosty cobalt
#

THEY HAD SCIENTIFIC FTL BUT WE CANT HAVE SCIENCE IN THIS UNIVERSE

odd tulip
odd sparrow
#

like,, ok so the tau have multiple psychic races in their empire

gusty fulcrum
frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

and yet it's still like ~ a total mystery oh no the HUMAN MIND SCIENCE ~

#

dude

odd tulip
#

just like everything else that was cool about damocles gulf

odd sparrow
#

u have nicassar that literally outright chat about the warp to u

#

in conversation

#

ask them how it works??

gusty fulcrum
#

They just dont do it very often is the thing

barren tapir
odd sparrow
#

how are they still being all confused by imperial miracles like oh no we have no idea how this works :( meanwhile a bunch of nicassar ships are trailing behind the main fleet being propelled entirely by psychic telekinesis

#

even just a short story about how the tau approach the warp would be nice cus idek how it's meant to work rn

frosty cobalt
runic wharf
#

Also dead ass can some one explain to me how tau have ultra long range weapons but get out ranged by primaris on tabletop

barren tapir
#

About the nicassar ship

atomic pelican
#

Primaris absorb the rules of other xeno factions

frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

primaris have everything™️

final spruce
odd tulip
odd sparrow
#

except for railguns get fucked gorillaboy

gusty fulcrum
#

Allright maybe im misunderstanding how their ships work?

frosty cobalt
gusty fulcrum
#

So they dont use the warp but travel through convention space tugging their ship using telekenesis basicly?

odd tulip
#

Did they? I don't recall

frosty cobalt
#

Theres that pic of tau in close combat with them 😭

runic wharf
odd sparrow
frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

cus now they'll never break out of that identity despite having had their fluff developed for the last 19 years

atomic pelican
#

I cant recall

gusty fulcrum
#

So they dont use the warp but travel through convention space tugging their ship using telekenesis basicly?

runic wharf
atomic pelican
#

They have fought but its been minor I think

frosty cobalt
runic wharf
odd sparrow
#

but ye tau dont necessarily have like, super ridiculous insane range mostly? If they have any single gimmick it's probs consistently high S at range or smthn

#

plus markerlights

runic wharf
#

Its not even consistent

odd sparrow
#

if they're still super essential

gusty fulcrum
#

Ya theyre combat philosophy basicly literally avoiod close combat at all costs cuz its crude and barabaric

frosty cobalt
#

It used to be the same power as a bolter on our inf

runic wharf
#

And markerlights suck

odd sparrow
#

aw

odd tulip
#

As far as tabletop is concerned, the Tau have great range & guns. The problem is that they can't sit on objectives, so they can't win games.

runic wharf
#

Hell if you play kill team markerlights are useless

odd sparrow
#

Time to employ gigantic hordes of kroot™️

odd tulip
#

Like, it's cool that your gunline wiped half my squad, but my squad is still on the obj, so I win

frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

at least their models are plastic now

final spruce
gusty fulcrum
odd tulip
#

Don't get me started on kroot

odd sparrow
#

but ye if i ever do get around to making a proper 40k tau army i'll def make it shotgun tau

final spruce
#

They cannot hold an objective like a bullgryn or bladeguard can

odd tulip
#

they should be awesome but they suck

#

literally wasted points

odd sparrow
#

like, pulse blasters, flamer crisis suits

#

that sort of vibe

frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

sad chicken noises

gusty fulcrum
final spruce
#

So like Farsight that buffs all shortrange weapons ?

odd sparrow
#

i can't remember all the sept modifiers tbh

#

i remember there being a better one for that somewhere tho? would have to check

gusty fulcrum
#

The litereally only study close combat as a MARTAIL art like monks n shit do

odd tulip
#

Literally all the Tau need to be good is some 2 wound infantry with 3+ 4++ saves and no weapons

runic wharf
#

In standard table top they have good range but like someone said they get melted on an objective

final spruce
#

Oh no , its jsut Farsight having a reroll auras for units using 18" or less range weapons

runic wharf
#

At least kroot look amazing

odd sparrow
#

idk the kroot sculpts are getting on now

runic wharf
#

This is why we should all play neckrons and nids

frosty cobalt
final spruce
odd sparrow
#

They're not awful but they're p old

#

at least they're not resin like the fucking vespids

gusty fulcrum
#

Kroot would be the only reason i play tau

odd tulip
odd sparrow
#

aaaaaaaaAAAAAA

#

so basically what ur saying is that we need 2 wound kroot

odd tulip
odd sparrow
#

god

gusty fulcrum
#

They should make subfactions a thing maybe

odd sparrow
#

GW has forgotten they exist

final spruce
gusty fulcrum
odd tulip
#

'member the errata recently that reduced the price of riptides by one point?

#

I 'member

odd sparrow
#

WHY DID THAT HAPPEN

#

like, that wasn't a meme right

odd tulip
#

I have literally no idea

runic wharf
#

I just wish ratlings was a faction i could play

odd sparrow
#

is triptide still a thing?

gusty fulcrum
#

I honestly wanna feild an army of jsut pgryns and ratlings

odd tulip
#

The fanon theory is that some gw employee had a 2001 point tau list

odd sparrow
#

i buy it

gusty fulcrum
#

have ratlings riding ogryns with miniguns strapped to their backs

final spruce
#

They wanted to round the points

odd sparrow
#

honestly not implausible

final spruce
#

Doesn't take a genius to see that

odd sparrow
final spruce
#

But taus don't need a point decrease, they need new units and a whole faction rework

odd tulip
#

They need a meatwall that doesn't suck

final spruce
#

Gundams are nice but they need more empathise on auxiliaries

odd sparrow
#

hot take but GW needs to start paying attention to auxiliaries

#

yep

runic wharf
odd tulip
#

Honestly literally give them poxwalkers and they become a decent faction

odd sparrow
#

like, i love the gundam models and all but still

final spruce
#

Or better

gusty fulcrum
final spruce
#

USE THE GODDAMN GUNDAMS IN MELEE

gusty fulcrum
#

thats kinda what i mean by subfactions

odd sparrow
#

the tau faction identity used to be it was like, the multi species covenant-like combined arms vibe

final spruce
#

YOU HAVE FARSIGHT AND BLADE SOMETHING

odd sparrow
#

remember in DoW when the big ultimate tau unit was a melee kroot unit

odd tulip
runic wharf
odd sparrow
#

now it would just be a gundam like 60% of their roster

gusty fulcrum
odd sparrow
final spruce
#

Just give the Taus a group of gundams specialised in melee with a fusion blade and a special shield they'd be great

odd sparrow
#

no giant katanas

#

that's too easy

odd tulip
#

Give the tau a new flying unit that is literally just the battleship Yamato

plucky moth
#

Glaives

#

I want and ork that just has a slingshot with a grot in it

frosty cobalt
#

A crisis suit with no jetpack and a ccw and shield thats all i want

final spruce
#

Actually a jetpack would be amazing

#

They would act like Custodes bikes

runic wharf
#

Okay but hear me out right more ork meme models

Fly over the enemy fodder and charge the commander

storm jungle
final spruce
#

You mean that ork weapon that teleports the grotz ?

cerulean wagon
#

ye shock attack gun

#

is great

final spruce
#

So you could end up teleporting it inside the guy and killing him instantly ?

cerulean wagon

Orks are cool in general

Fulgrim, trying to break the tension and knowing the Khan recently had the Swordstorm finished: "So brother I heard you pimped your ride recently?"
**Jaghatai: **"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I rode front of my horde on Chogoris, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on the Southern Emperors, and I have over 3,000,000 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top duelist in the entire Imperium. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Ullanor, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over a triumph? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Keshig across the Segmentum Obscurus and your Flagship is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the White Scars legion and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the galaxy, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo"

"In this latter incident for example, although before Perturabo and the Iron Warriors' arrival in the war zone, Overdog Mashogg's vast orbital defenses had previously repulsed attack after attack from both the Space Wolves and White Scars. Perturabo, whose plan succeeded in breaking the line and allowing for the Orks' slughter is recorded in contemporary chronicles by his brothers only as a "nameless comrade-in-arms"'

My favourite part about Black Book 3's interpretation of Perturabo

is that he straight up doesn't fuck with anyone

Because he decimated his legion

i think he deserved all the shit he got for that decimation thing

#

just unhonor them or someth,ng why the fuck do you make them beat each other to death

glad prism
#

Like father like son

errant mauve
# storm jungle i think he deserved all the shit he got for that decimation thing

The way I see Perturabo's mentality of decimation is this:

  1. You kill off the weakest link --> Great success!
  2. You don't kill off the weakest link, but it pushes your warriors to greater performance --> Great Success!
  3. You don't kill off the weakest link, and someone protests. Now you know which one of your marines to send on a suicide mission. --> Great Success!

He also knew he could devise a logistical system to have them increase their legion size by almost 7 times, so it was sustainable in both the short and long run for decimation.

#

Instead of just purging specific demographics like Terrans with Corvus or Horus, Perturabo just killed off 3,000 marines and got what he wanted out of his legion.

storm jungle
#

Basically mindless and a fair killing right?

#

aka status doesnt really matter

From above, the feast resembled nothing so much as a mechanism of many parts. He could see the wheels of influence and aggression upon which the whole of the Aett turned. He wasn’t the only one who could see them – even he wasn’t so arrogant to think that. But he fancied that he was the only one who saw them for what they were. A trap. A trick, played on those long-dead warriors by their Wolf King.

Russ had taken a legion of brutal killers and convinced them that they were heroes. He had twisted the ancient superstitions and sagas of Fenris into a cage of words to contain his wild sons. It was a chain of illusion, holding them fast, though they could neither see it nor feel it.

All except Lukas. He rubbed the back of his neck, as if he could feel the collar chafing him.

Perturabo, with talking lessons: Magnus, you are brother and I care deeply for you, but our duty is to the citizens of the Imperium, you cannot disregard them for our quest!

What actually happened

Perturabo: Bautista bombs the Mechanism in Magnus' face after taking weeks to make it THIS IS FOR THE CIVILIANS BITCH
