+amor patriae nostra lex Unless the tyranids float along, and suddenly the Warp seems to sod off around them because of the Shadow in the Warp. If the tyranids do devour the galaxy it will destabilize the warp, because it's based off the thoughts and emotions of the living. If the tyranids devour everything else then the warp as it is known now will cease to be. So then the forces of Chaos will shrivel in power. Sadly tyranids are more entrenched in chaos then Chaos is. They live to fight and kill; survival of the fittest is how they exist which is Khorne's turf (may the blood ever flow, and the throne ever grow). They create, spread, and live through death, disease, and pestilence; which is Nurgle's claim to fame(may his blessing be bountiful). They have advanced forces and strategies that undermine the strength and stability entire sectors without need for overt conflict, which is Tzeentch's court(may his plans change the woven threads of fate). The only thing I can't pin them out doing is the work of Slaanesh, and that's because I really don't think they grasp anything Slaanesh represents other unholy amounts of pain... and maybe a passive understanding of vore (don't look it up and may the demonettes ever fornicate and eviscerate). Yes, I like tyranids and chaos; in that order.

[@linx7668]

yeah the necron are bloody beastly, but they are the least relatable race in the game, imperial guard being the most relatable of course.

[@DerangedGodOfMischief]

LINX 7 A species that sold its soul (literally) for immortality and to pay back the old ones for refusing to share their secrets of longevity with a race whose brief lives were filled with misery and pain for all their scientific wonders. Made the slaves of callous gods and foot soldiers in a war between two sets of deities all too happy to rip apart reality to win their war with one another before they finally had enough of the death and horror and ended the war with the destruction of both factions of gods, sleeping to wait out the devastating after effects. And then waking up to find that little has changed beyond the wars now being fought being smaller and more primitive than that great war in heaven, that the mortals in their folly may very well destroy everything and that even if they don't, a vast swarm beyond the galaxy's edge will do it for them. The Necrons are thoroughly evil yes, arrogant to a degree that not even the Eldar can match who at best want other races to serve their nobility as the Necrontyr's peasants do now; slaves, perhaps even as fodder for biotransferrance so they can live in whatever bodies they please. At worst they want life in the galaxy to end to put in place a cold, eternal order until the universe itself dies. Yes all of that is true, but beneath it all is a great deal of tragedy from a species that wanted unity and a life free of misery. The story of the Necrons is one of the saddest in 40k. They may be one of the four great threats to the galaxy with the Orks, Tyranids, and Chaos, but whereas the Orks and Tyranids are just doing what they were made to and Chaos is simply following its nature as a reflection of the negative emotions of mortals; the Necrons went on the path of darkness of their own will, spurred by the greatest series of tragedies known in the galaxy. That's pretty relatable and to be honest, I don't think many others would have taken a different path in their shoes.

I think the Tau were partly modelled on the Japanese Empire. Throughout and after the Meiji Restoration the Japanese rapidly advanced from a feudalistic society, mastering railways, shipbuilding, aeronautics and other new mechanical fields at a rapid pace. They simply took what they felt to be certain countries' strongest fields (Britain's navy, for instance) and made their own improvements. By the time of WW2, their technology and weaponry easily matched those of their Western enemies.

+neuralshock7 I've always seen the Tau as a mix. Each caste is different down to their physiology, and from their names to their historical background I've always seen the Fire Caste as more inspired by Native Plains Americans. After all they were the great hunters from the plains. But they don't build or design their equipment, the Earth Caste do. So I like to see all the different castes as being very different culturally from the others. We just only really see how the Fire Caste works, and their war gear is built by a very different cultural group with a different aesthetic to them. But of course the Fire Caste doesn't care about that, they care if it works.

[@angryopossum6936]

"good"

[@lexlex44]

Tau don’t rely on ranged cuz they are weak in close combat, but because ranged is safer and more effective ! The imperial guard does the same 99 % of guardsmen are ranged units, if the would have fought in close combat their survivability would drop with 99 %, especially seeing how strong ranged weapons are in 40k ! Melee is something only certain mutants or species can afford - Like eldar due to good stealth, natural speed and damn good armor, space marines due to their power armor(which gives lots of defense), but even marines prefer ranged weapons mostly, and orks due to the fact that they are damn resistant, they are so resistant that dark eldar see no fun in torturing them. And there are also ogryns, but they are basically a type of mutant ! The tau take all these into account, so they use species with special abilities for melee, like kroot, which are damn strong and fast, but they also like using ranged weapons a lot.Melee is mostly good when there are few units around who can shoot you and you are good at infiltration, or just damn mobile and fast and/or resistant, or some other special condition, but it’s mostly not a widespread thing due to how dangerous it is, not to mention that the harassed unit can also shot you with it’s rifle in melee, and A SHOT in POINT BLANK range is damn effective.

My favorite race. thanks for putting up the theme, i was looking for it. :)

[@naylik2562]

Just fucking glorious. Sounds like the might of a new rising empire.

Once i asked space marine what he would choose Tau or Chaos and he suddenly started to worship khorne.

[@RevanSigma]

To those wondering why the Imperium hate Tau, before the Emperor was hooked up to the Golden Throne, he sought to reunite humanity via Universal Conquest. It is a main doctrine of both Adeptus Astartes, the Holy Inquisition, AND the Imperial Guard that anything that isn't human is to be put to the torch for the good of humanity. Despite the corruption of his teachings and his subsequent becoming a deity for man kind, that's one of the main teachings that Humanity Still follows. For the Xeno is not to be trusted.

[@calenross233]

When you think about it, all the Tau want is peace. We're like the John Lennons of Warhammer 40k.

[@Desolas_]

John Connor Peace? Did you even saw the Tau ending in Dark crusade? they treated humans like shit and even humans treat tau shit in the grim darkness of future no one is the so called "Good Guys" everyone is evil in it's own purpose.

[@bisque6448]

RevanSigma Actually Emperor wasn't so xenophobic as Imperium is now. He often cooperated with Eldar for example, because they mostly shared a common goal. Eldar even warned him about Horus, but he didn't believe. He represented humanity, fought for it, wanted to unite it, but not eradicate everything else. He sought supremacy, not genocide.

[@markosimunic4770]

***** thats just the dark crusade ending! humans living in the tau empire actualy live better than in the imperium of man! they even still let them worship the god emperor although they are also slowly turning to the greater good!

[@Desolas_]

marko simunic And yet humans in turn tend be to be asses and try to liberate them

[@Scaevola9449]

The Tenno shall fight beside the Tau. Through a screen of smoke, Ash is dashing through Chapters as they bleed and choke. Vauban puts the chaptermasters to a permanent siesta, As all of them are struck with the wrath of his tesla. In the center of it all, Excalibur Mag Ember, Set Terra on fire with a radical temper. Radial Javelin and Bullet attractor, Dismember Magnus himself in a disorderly manner. Slaughtering the Primarchs, We besiege the Throne. FOR THE GLORY OF THE TAU!

[@Covolsky]

+Rubastax The Tenno Lies! the greater good has failed us Kroot! us Kroot brothers fight alone in chains while out Tau allies hide behind their Glowing armor till there are no Kroot left... Dawn of war2... RiP Kroot... :(

[@brickcraftproductions3065]

Rubastax Akaso Do you think the Tenno would slaughter the leaders of the Imperium? put them aginst the sisters of silence or the Adeptus Astarties and see what happens

[@Bytheemperor]

@@brickcraftproductions3065 U gonna need a real pro player, just to deal with Custodes, and a living legend to deal with primarchs... xD

[@otaku-thing2927]

Good luck trying, but we are as numerous as we are ferocious. Still, I hope your empire can survive this harsh galaxy, and avoid repeating the mistakes my kind made.

[@ArmanCortez1]

you say "for the greater good" i say "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!"

[@danubeisreallypeculiarrive7944]

That's acceptable in Tau empire. Religious tolerance is promoted unless it's chaos or Tyranid worshippers. They need to be eradicated.

[@gargamellenoir8460]

I love the Tau so much, but the fact that you just have to headshot a dude in a silly cape to get them all to pack up and leave is a pretty major flaw.

[@nikiosko]

I will stabilize my imperium as Tau for the GREATER GOOD!! We shall rule Kronus for good! The Necrons and the Chaos shall fall first!

[@Djalildje33]

*up walks Chaos* *taps Tau on the head with a metal bat to get their attention* *Tau stops eating the sandvich* Chaos: Yo, what's up?

[@ТимофейЕрмак-ш4т]

What is this "me-lee" you speak off?

[@KaralynAD]

I agree with this. I've read alot of Warhammer 40k novels and it is the truth. The Tau will never attack first. They simply try to show you a different way than the one you are following. And in many ways it is good. As a Human in the Tau Empire you get access to education, technology, a better life without oppression. You will not be an ignorant bum who cannot make a difference between friend and foe because you're told everything non human is the enemy.

[@stillwinston3765]

I love the mystery vibe of this song, makes you wonder the true intentions of the Ethereal. Jk it is for the Greater Good.

[@danubeisreallypeculiarrive7944]

Humans believing in greater good are slowly manifesting greater good into Chaos which means there could be Chaos God if order and prosperity which would be pretty funny. God that Unchaosed the Chaos.

[@ToozdaysChild]

Who needs psykers when you have railguns, stealthsuits and advanced plasma technology?
