How Did the Galaxy React to the Rise of the Tau? | Warhammer 40k Lore

Thank you for the support on the Cyber Dynasty Launch, the upcoming Kickstarter can be found here : www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
The Tau are the new kids on the block, with a culture younger than many characters still alive in the setting - so that begs the question, how did the other races and factions react to the new blue boys?

[@ianyoder2537]

@@sidesaddleintobattle4984 Yes, most races in the galaxy have the potential to develop some sort of psychic (it's really magic) power, but the orks are a bit different. Every ork passively develops a week psychic field called the waaag, the more orks there are the more powerful it is. The way it works is if you get enough orks together in one place believing the same thing than that thing becomes a reality. The most obvious commonly used example is orks believe red things go faster, so if an ork paints something red it will actually go slightly faster. This is the basis for all ork technology, or lack their of. Nothing an ork makes actually works, but every ork believes it will. A general rule of thumb for this setting I came up with is the antithesis to logic principle of 40K which states the less sence it makes in real life the more effective it would be in 40K. That's why the Tau are confined to one small corner of space and the orks are the most numerous faction in the galaxy (besides the tytanids, but they're from outside the galaxy.) That's why humanity is simultaneously the strongest faction in the galaxy and has countless points of failure that could cause it to collapse at any moment. That's why chaos, despite it's many, many, many, MANY, shortcomings is the biggest threat to the galaxy. And the orks are the embodiment of this rule.

These days though, I've been in and out of the hobby since the 80's, and have painted so much Loyalist and Chaos stuff, that Xenos races are my number one interest these days. I really like the general Tau aesthetic, and that they're like clean future in this weird mash up world of medieval meets space (it's like dark age punk or something, very original concept) Then you have tau which are like what you'd expect a future army to look like, rail guns and mech suits etc. They're just a great juxtaposition to the rest of the stuff in the universe (which is why a lot of people don't like them, or at least one of the reasons)

One thing you didn't address ..... since the T'au align so well with the Emperor's vision on faith, technology and the warp ..... do you think he'd be open to an alliance if he were around in 40k?

[@EngineerOfVaul]

Depends on which stage of the emperor we are talking about. There was a time the emperor was pretty open to alliances such as that. He was friends with Eldrad at one point and learned much from the eldar. But eventually, by the time of the great crusade, he had a very strong humanity first stance, and wished to scour the galaxy of all xenos regardless of how useful or friendly they might be. The most the tau could hope for under those circumstances was the emperor letting them stay as sanctioned xenos. But that again depends on if the tau can suppress their expansionist ideologies. Now though? Sitting on the throne as living corpse for 10000 years with so much hindsight and an even greater picture of how things are all over the galaxy? Maybe he'd reconsider his whole "Humanity first" stance. Or maybe not. Who knows.

[@anvos658]

Given the Tau have birthed their own Warp God, they'd likely receive the same disdain he showed the old terra religions, since the idiot doesn't get a warp entity that protects your people is a good thing, especially since that puts somebody in the way to siphon off the power that would normally empower the Big 4 Chaos Gods.

Blue bois and gals ftw! But jaizes, I cant shake off the reminder that the Taus circular symbol is spot on similar to the ol Bungie games Marathon series symbol and even Halos monitors 😳

[@stumpyjoejedi7865]

Sweet I finally actually got to be the first view and comment for your lore vids. I literally watch your channel 3 to 4 hours a day so cheers brother. Keep up the good shit.

[@stumpyjoejedi7865]

Oh , and a lore video possibility of a detailed breakdown of all the domains of the ruinous powers as everyone just skirts over the realms .

[@LeerMilch]

Hey just wanna say the shirts are awsome just got mine today

[@VivaMataulipas]

What tech did the Imperium create after the Age of Strife could be an interesting idea for a video, seeing as most of humanity's war tech (Navy ships, Dreadnoughts, Tanks etc...) isn't replicable. Makes you wonder what would the Imperium use were all Dark-Age tech be destroyed?

[@therealdoomsage]

"Don't forget to bring a Tau!" - Tau-lie, the anthropomorphic towel who came to the greater good from terra long, long ago.

[@IFunkyCheese]

Once again talking about the possibility for the next edition or edition after introducing the emperors children as a chaos and loyal faction with the rape snake versus the fulgrim clone fighting each other @majorkill

[@jhvudnsbcfhkdbnvb1868]

Sometimes i wonder why tau are even a thing in wh setting. Some tiny xeno faction, there are a lot of them in the galaxy. Then again if space marines are poster boys despite their laughable numbers that barely should affect anything, so why not.

[@stripeybag6977]

Again, "We love you Tau Jesus." Anrakyr the Traveller- "Hahaha What the hell is happening? Hehe open fire."

[@monkeykingyo6359]

THAT CAPTAIN CYBER SAMURAI LOOKS SO COOL!! Like if some of The Fallen encountered the Tau, and somehow got convinced into The Greater Good, and got beefed up with Tau Tech and went from Knights to Samurai.

[@reissessions]

Great videos, but I’m curious what watch you have on?

[@rexlumontad5644]

Hot Take: The Tau would have fit in well at the Universal Century of Gundam because they have their own mobile suits with the Federation and Zeon. Change my mind.

[@alastor8091]

Put them in Gundam Witch so we can see extreme Communism versus extreme Capitalism and we can also have cute blue guys to go with our cute red Tanuki.

[@TheSuperSonicMan]

i like the tau because it is a reminder that warhammer is very much a sci fi setting as it is much a fantasy setting. the purpose of the tau is to use as a perspective as a realistic futuristic civilization like star wars or star trek and how they react to the crazy fantasy vibes that is warhammer

[@rexlumontad5644]

Commander Farsight - the Char Clone of the Tau with a cool sword and his red mech goes 3 times faster!

[@henrypaleveda7760]

Their battle suits are cool, but I like their stealth suits better aesthetically.

[@RJALEXANDER777]

"Commander Farsight, we noted an 11% increase in flight speed and hydraulic performance in your prior battle against the Orks. We also recorded instances of, I quote, Orks claiming that "Da red wunz go fasta." What do you make of this nonsense?" "They might be onto something. Paint all our warriors in red before our next campaign. Immediately."

[@arielortiz5643]

How he described Khorne's opinion of Commander Farsight is hilarious. Aside from the simple and detailed explanations, his sense of humour is one of this guy's major strong points 😂😂😂😂

[@X_NeRobbert_X]

Majorkill, please make a video about Eldar-Corsairs

[@ReaperCore15]

Orks are the best, they love everyone, i'm pretty sure every time they see an ennemy faction they're like " YAaaay, more fightin ! " come here friends ! "

[@nitrokat7597]

Video idea, how space marine chapter treat their chapter serf

[@MrFallenone]

Well during the Great Crusade they were all treated well and were above the regular ship crew. My guess is the only exeption would be the Night Lords and World Eaters. The heresy changed a few things :D

[@Yoshwayy]

Another day BEGGING MajorKill to do something on Imperial/Chao knights.

[@Sciontabier]

Please make a Nykona Sharrowkyn/Raven Guard inspired major mini.

[@KyleWoodProduction]

This is so weird. I literally decided today that my next army after space marines was going to be Tau

[@FreelancerND]

I was playing my Warhammer back in mid to late 90s. And I like Tau, dont't give a fuck about funbois screaming about the lore, or theme or anything. At least Tau is something new, and from all other races, I like painting Tau the most =)

[@poundsofslothcigars]

I realize some of these writers are more chill than others bcuz they can make 2 stories of the same faction doing 2 opposite things like the case with the necrons

[@BoomerNick]

Never thought I'd say I'm 'a fan of bovine content'..... Thanks I guess MK...

[@internetuser320]

Can you cover the ultramar realm? Or maybe guillimom?

[@colinmorgan2511]

Everyone needs a Guillimum ❤❤

Tzeench is also interested in manipulating the Tau, and had a posessed Water Caste help the Tau change the allegiance of a Forge-world from Imperial to Tau.

[@555tork]

that water caste member went with farsight and was killed.

I see T'au, I give thumbs up

[@danendraarkananta9442]

Imperial IRS seems way more problematic than inquition.

[@bloodjunkie1919]

Earliest I've ever been to a majorkill video at 6 minutes-ish, that's pretty cool. Funny to see all the people calling "first" as well

[@williamklemp3764]

Youd think the Tau would be a prime target for those necrons that wish to return to flesh: with dim souls, one would think they would be fairly easy, at least comparatively, to do some kind of transference. Clone a bunch of Tau bodies, and attempt to imprint necrons onto those living corpses. If it works, cool, if not, no loss. Idk, maybe theyve already tried, and deemed it unlikely

[@tristanmattwig8541]

You forgot the Leagues of Votann! Jk, kindof, I know they dont have much lore yet, but I love them
