40 Facts and Lore about the Tau Part 2 Warhammer 40k

[@Costantinov]

I don't get the hate for the Tau. They are the least grimdark race in the galaxy, the least xenophobic and more likely to offer mercy and a chance to join them. While we have the genocide-happy empire of man, getting triggered by anything that isn't emperor related, which usually ends up with many humans worshiping chaos gods. Then we have orcs, dark eldar, tyranids and necrons, all of which are not much for diplomacy and more for mindless war. Then we have the eldar, acting all mystirious, but let's not forget that their race managed to somehow create a whole new chaos god. So, why do people get to dislike Tau the most? Because they sometimes chose to sterilize some populations? Would it be better to exterminate their whole world, like all the other races mostly choose to do? Or because they are mostly controled by the Etherals? As if the other races are not controled by an (half-dead) Emperor, the Chaos Gods, Warbosses ect... I'm not implying that most people should like them, I just don't get the mass hatred. I guess some people don't like that they don't prefer melee combat over ranged combat. Personaly, it doesn't make any sense to my as to why anyone would prefer melee combat over ranged combat, but that's just me.

+Costantinov I also don't think 40k players like the mech look, they feel its coming to close to anime.

[@CognizantCheddar]

Any sort of fictional futuristic tech that uses Japanese influences in its design will be labeled as 'anime-like'. That isn't really fair, or necessarily a problem in the first place. What rule is there that says only western-culture aesthetics are permitted in 40K? As for Tau mechs, so far as the *look* goes, the one and only thing objectively anime-like about them is just the fact that they're bipedal walkers. In all other ways, Tau walker design look as much like something from the Neill Blomkamp movie District 9 as they do anything in anime. Tau walkers don't look much like 'Gundams', do they?

[@Takkiebos]

In a universe directly influenced by the warp the tau feel a little out of place.

[@sabkebolan]

Yeeeeah!!! Tau will rule them alll!!!. Tnx for this...

[@hadenmontgomery5888]

can you tell us more about the humans in the tau

[@jestergodfield690]

Hey guys, what/how do you think a dark eldar would react to a psychic blank? They love torturing and stuff so they can feed off the dark psychic energy or something like that. So a psychic blank would be like a buzz kill for them, right? P.S TAU FOR THE WIN!!!

[@TheTurbanatore]

The Tau rules are pretty good right now and there Models are also reasonable cheap.

[@axelhstrand3121]

Pretty good and reasonable cheap?.. Supergood and unreasonable cheap is what you mean

[@Scaevola9449]

_Yeah, mostly because the butthurt IoM fanboys drive the price down._

[@noahcampbell8785]

Loved that end joke, but who is the tau who invented high yield missile pods? I want him to just stop:P

[@OneMindSyndicate]

[@theseabassi9638]

Wait, people hate the Tau? News to me. Soon as I saw 40k, I knew it was gonna be either Tau or Necrons (I played Tomb Kings in fantasy before they GOT RID OF MY F***ING ARMY) But so... Why do they hate the harbingers of the Greater Good?

[@sethleoric2598]

Why are these guys one of my favorite factions

[@commissarweetabix266]

xv 88 is that the broadside??? I think it is correct me if I'm wrong

[@strombago]

[@OneMindSyndicate]

+Irean yes

[@TheSecondPrimarch]

+OneMindSyndicate I like the Tau alot! Thank you for the Lore!

[@AsaruWolf]

+OneMindSyndicate yay for more Tau facts :D I play Tau miniatures (yes yes I know hate me all you want haha) Was versing my mate, using the standard 1850 point buyout got myself 6 squads of Firewalker strike teams... 3 Sniper Drone units, Commander Farsight, a XV104 Riptide Titan, a Ghostkeel and (due to the history of Farsight I am basing my army around the Conclave which are know to take on lost solider, mercenaries and anyone willing to fight) a Vindicare Assassin (my mate was cool with it) He was playing Black Templar Space Marines... with the Battle Demi Company... he tried to charge my front line.... didn't end well for him. Afterwards he said to me "If my troops and command squad had gotten into melee with you, you would have lost!" .... Me being the Smartass I am I said "What is this Me'lee you speak of?" :P

[@benfrancisco3590]

Can you guys create more lore on the firecaste.

[@ta24u]

[@OneMindSyndicate]

+ta24u no problem

[@fluffy7813]

[@qaon5748]

[@DreamMarko]

Could you do Eldar Corsair lore?

[@OneMindSyndicate]

+DreamMarko we will

[@dawsonmiller2484]

I got a question why are they called the earth cast when they didn't even know about earth during he time????

[@AzeroxKingdom]

is this real? everyone loves the TAU.... i thought i was unique bulding a TAU-army...

[@kimjong_un8801]

For the greater weeabs!

[@felreaver8073]

Whats the Tau religion?

[@rowanthomas3784]

Fel Reaver there isn't a religion but a ideology which is the greater good. the tau allow religious beliefs in their empire as long as it doesn't conflict with their ideology

[@carsoncasmirri3874]

Fel Reaver atheist but one could argue they worship the ethereals like gods

[@rowanthomas3784]

Carson Casmirri No they don't. there is no argument. they don't worship the ethereals. read the codex and you'd know their is no worship or anything.

[@bleachdrinker632]

wait, shadowsun is a real character?

[@monstergirllover2363]

Yes

[@DietrichMikowski]

Where's part 1??

[@Xarcht]

So the Greater Good is falling apart

[@terabiteblack6119]

[@nseven1117]

I think I'd fit right into the tau empire, heck! I would volunteer on sterilization duty if given the opportunity!

[@hotjavvahahakillmehahaha2196]

Taus are commies..... I love them!

[@jameskub5609]
