Technologically, Tau versus the Imperium is like a late WW2 military fighting an early WW1 military, except the WW1 military has random F22s, Abrams tanks, and other modern weapons sprinkled in.

Not even close. US was a humming war machine throwing out new literally every week. Imperium is not a humming war machine but far worst. They are stale living off what was which was pretty amazing. Proof of this is the Tau finding titans older than their whole society.

The Imperium has better technology than the Tao but they also use worse technology than the Tau, which makes your analogue spot on, also better mention that the Imperium is 1000 times bigger than the Tau empire 😮 which means with worp travel they could if wanted show up in the hart of their empire and wipe them out from orbit.

[@sidesaddleintobattle4984]

Is the waaag some sort of group telekinetic power.

[@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.

I started a Tau army very recently. The tau and Necrons were both factions that came about while I was away from the hobby, so I never had much affinity for them. 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)

General question from a casual 40k enjoyer to the more hardcore fans: Would the Necron consider the Tau as the species that they can get their souls installed in?

[@aziouss2863]

From what i know about the lore Most of the Necrons souls are inside the the Catan shard as they ate them. Only the higher up Necrons SOMEHOW kept their souls intact and it is linked to the self exile of the Silent king after they beat splintered and captured the Catan. There are no souls to transfer... for 99% of the Necrons. So that is a cool theory but it does not fit. As the Necrons could have used Any species for that or even bioengineering new ones...They are MASTERS of the materium and all it's tech including biology. My own theory is that the Silent king KNEW about the trick that would cost Most the Necrons their souls and went with it anyway... Maybe he thought he had no choice but to take that unimaginably bad deal? It would explain the self exile. Could be he is looking for a solution to the soul problem. Spending his time looking for a way to retake the souls and absolve himself. I like that idea alot actually XD Cus it fits with the benevolent personality that the leader... Most Necron lords want to kill all fleashy being which is in direct contrast to how the silent king always tries to preserve the other mortal species...

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.

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

[@racknack5778]

A Khorne berserker farsight would be the most terrifying thing ever especially if that warp sword gets a upgrade making him stronger and faster every time he kills honestly wouldn't want to fight that

[@redluke8119]

I'm a simple man I see a majorkill video I watch it I like it

[@kathiresandk3154]

I'd really love to see the Tau meet a primarch. They better hope it's Guilliman, not The Lion. Better yet, Farsight and Guillman becoming allies.

[@DOOM_Dwarf]

That thing that everyone always suggests would a prety cool video ngl

[@555tork]

commander puretide fought the orks multiple times so the T'au have definitely fought them before and would have had doctrines in place for dealing with them before farsight, hell it's even said that he used long range firepower and maneuvers to make the battle unenjoyable for the orks, they hated fighting him.

[@therealdoomsage]

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

[@pendragon0905]

Farsight: You have many slaves, Khorne, but few warriors. And soon, they will all learn to fear the guns of the Tau Empire rather than the whips of Chaos. Khorne: 'Tis not the lash they fear, but my divine power. But I am a generous god. I can grant you riches beyond your wildest dreams. I would name you Warlord of the Cult of Khorne. You will carry my battle standard to the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. And your Orkish and Tyranid enemies will kneel at your feet... if you would but kneel at mine. Farsight: That is a generous offer. Oh, Khorne, God of Blood, Master of the Skull Throne. 'Tis an offer only a madman would refuse. But, uh... there's a slight problem. You see, killing all those daemons and cultists earlier has really... has really given me a cramp in my legs. You know? So, kneeling will be hard. Khorne: There is no reward for your defiance! I will erase every trace of your existence from the histories! Every piece of Tau parchment shall be burned and every Tau scholar will have their tongues cut out and pulled from their mouths! Why, uttering the name of Farsight or the Tau Empire shall be a crime punishable by death! The universe will never know that you existed. Farsight: The universe will know that few stood against many. That freedom fought back against tyranny. And before this war is over, they will know that even a God of Chaos can bleed.

[@erikgilson1687]

I know chaos isn't technically Hell or full of actual gods or devils but it's funny to me the Tau just refuse to believe it/they exist and that the warps just another part of space and the demons are just other standard xenos threats. It's like the people who try to roleplay being an atheist in D&D

[@bignasty4874]

Those are atheists who don't buy their own BS and are trying too hard to convince themselves.

[@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 ! "

[@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?

[@odinulveson9101]

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 😳

[@KyleWoodProduction]

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

[@ddooodddoo]

Honestly the Tau are the best bet to beat the tyranids because one evolves rapidly while the other has rapid technological advancements

[@andriy_tato]

The best faction against Tyranids imo are necrons. They're not made of biomaterials, they can't be infiltrated by genostealers and their weaponry is on another level.

[@withlovefromlightindust591]

Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.

[@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."

[@themitchnater7800]

Majorkill you should do a video on the life of a chaos cultists

[@lUseMyBlade]

Major please make a video about how the traitors maintain and acuire armor weapons and supplies. Since you know they dont have a big bluberry helping them.

[@legio-IV-Cataphract]

Crusade day 6:the top ten community wholesome moments moments would be great

[@bloxsclaymation]

Commissar Ciaphas Cain of course it had to be him lol, failing upwards constantly to the point he failed so hard that he became a bit of a hero to the Tau

[@MrMMitchell]

One could argue that the 1 things the tau do better then others is they have manners and offer planet's a choice silver or lead in a sense. Cartel style yeah but a bit of kindness in this universe can go a long way

[@chrisgermann6658]

Its only a matter of time before the Tau enter the warp and try some diplomacy.

[@Shinobito1]

In Arks of Omen: Farsight, Typhus admitted, that he hates the Ta'u with a passion. Because they are so orderly, clean and uncorrupted. So it is his honour, privilige and duty to bring them the gifts of Grandfather Nurgle.

[@SiegeTF]

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.

[@goreobsessed2308]

Beating back the death gaurd is very impressive

[@danendraarkananta9442]

Imperial IRS seems way more problematic than inquition.

[@salty_sardines942]

korn looking at farsight like i want that

[@MenaceToSocietyStanding]

They don't use melee weapons except the one dude, that is grounds for extermination

[@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

[@DukeCondor]

Khorne is so interested in Farsight for being an effective Melee combatant for a Tau lol

[@lathrael7152]

Khorne: "Please give me something to replace Angron. Even Farsight will do..."

[@sir_ridley388]

Already the best T'au video. They're more bovine and definitely not fish people

[@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

[@Siege181]

For a Xmas special, can we have a vid of a really drunk Majorkills opinion of each primarchs please? 🤣

[@stripeybag6977]

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

[@MarrsJ]

It's funny how the tau are just like the normal neutral-leaning sci-fi faction, but just plopped Into the worst timeline and because of that they're the good guys by default

[@internetuser320]

Can you cover the ultramar realm? Or maybe guillimom?

[@colinmorgan2511]

Everyone needs a Guillimum ❤❤

[@internetuser320]

[@theaussieperspective]

A commenter asking for a video about how each primarch would react if put in Gullimans position would be great. It’d be even better if he mentioned traitor marines :o

[@TheIllusiveMan11]

What about the Leagues of Votann?
