He also realized that putting a Sword on a battlesuit unlocks it's true potential. He then had a moment where he remembered all his friends and the promises he made to protect them. Powered up he jumped up from defeat with his new sword, made some line about how he would "protect his people" and proceeded to kick ass forever.

The horror elements of the Farsight enclaves and the Tau as a whole are less grimdark and more cosmic horror, around every corner is an unstopable ancient entity and they are always 1 mistake away from drawing the attention of something that could wipe them out

[@evanlight2550]

The good thing about the Tau is that they are so comparatively insignificant to the wider galaxy that most likely don’t even know they exist. If any other race caught on to the Tau’s potential, it would only take a single Tombworld of Necrons to wipe them out.

[@bobbirdsong6825]

I disagree, it is pretty clear they represent an orwellian society in its most advanced and pure form. Like O'Brien described INGSOC as an organic entity, the Tau are more of a single organism than a faction of individuals, as they bow so completely to the ethereals in every aspect of their life. That's really where the horror is, you are an individual trapped in a faction that functions like tyranids with a much more propaganda friendly aesthetic.

[@shizuoheiw]

@@bobbirdsong6825 if the Tau were not individuals then Farsight never would have happened, and farsight has a group of individuals he fights with called The 8, additonally within the Tau empire there are still some like Shadowsun who hold their own personal motivations, the Tau are not like an organism at all, they are just traditional Sci Fi distopia and they do have the capacity to rebel as they occasionally do when new defectors join the Farsigh enclaves

[@Mongoosesummoner]

Just got one criticism for your part. Tech Heresy is NOT dumb, and you are NOT dumb if you believe in it. See, Chaos? It's subtle when it wants to be. VERY subtle, and it makes doing anything new technology speaking an uphill battle at best. You make a new model of lasgun that hits as hard as a bolt, yay for you right? The circut pattern in the gun forms an unknown mark of Khorne, and now that lasgun is either possessed, or otherwise slowly corrupts it's owner. Just check out the Gaunts Ghosts novels for a pretty good example of this sort of thing as well as a good explanation as to what caused the Men of Iron Rebellion. The Tau don't really need to worry about that due to their weak to non existent Warp signatures, but for everyone else it's a major issue that slows things down tremendously. (Unless you're the Orks, in which case things like this are a feature.)

​@@josephpa05 Not really, any mundane disease isn't likely to succeed long term against the Tyranids. Their genetics adapt too quickly and the Norn Queens of the hive fleets know how to isolate an infection and can sacrifices thousands easily to figure out how to make an immunity. Conceivably a warp fuelled sorcerous disease could work, but the issue there is it loses efficacy the further from the warp/chaos rifts you get and would have to contend with the shadow in the warp and Tyranid psychic creatures as well. Pretty much the only place it has a shot is isolated pockets of Tyranids on Chaos worlds where there isn't enough of them to have an overpowering presence in the warp. Sadly, those are typically worlds the hive fleets tend to ignore because chaos energy doesn't translate into usable biomass for them to consume. They generally only go after said worlds as a form of preemptive defense, since they could be a threat to a hive fleet's advance.

I personally like the theory that the Dawn Blade is actually the sword, "Anaris" also known as the sword of Dawn Light. It was the blade that was wielded by the ancient Aeldari hero, Eldanesh, who used the blade to dual the God Kaine himself when he was still whole.

[@Haloister]

Didn't Khaine shatter Anaris after killing Eldanesh?

[@Jack-0-lantern]

@@Haloister I'm not sure? But if the original blade of dawn light was shattered and the Dawn Blade that commander Farsight has now is merely made from one piece of it then that could open doorways to story directions where Farsight could collect the other pieces to create an even stronger sword to fight even stronger Demons to save his people. His story might even start mirroring Eldanesh story and he might even get into a fight with either Korn or more likely one of Korns greatest Champions.

[@Haloister]

@@Jack-0-lantern Could be, the shard of Anaris is a eldar relic weapon so it works out

[@phantomwraith1984]

Except that theory was debunked because his sword is Khornite, not Khainite. The longer Farsight has been wielding that blade, the more he's been getting nightmares of him turning into a blood raged berserker of khorne. Not to mention 8 is Khorne's number and farsight's team is called The 8

I could see Guilliman trying to establish a military alliance with the Enclave in order to create a buffer state between the Imperium and the Tau Empire. I could even see a certain unlucky commissar with god-tier plot armor serving as the Imperium's official liaison.

[@carlzerris6566]

Much as that would be interesting the sad fact is (and this is from a tau player) the Tau, especially the enclaves, are just to small to bother with either as a threat or as a potential ally. Give it a few mellenia for them to crack cloning and a new ftl system to expand out, then they may be more than a small blip but right now i dont think it will happen.

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

@@floricel_112 Not officially. (I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Amberly staged Cain's death in order to permanently take him into her retinue.)

[@UnknownSquid]

The Enclave is far too small to be worth having an alliance with, and has no where near enough territory to actually act as a buffer. Besides, the primary Tau Empire is already occupying Ultima Sector space, as part of their Fifth Expansion via the Startide Nexus. If Guilliman was to try and make any diplomatic agreement or alliance with the Tau, I'd imagine it being with the main Tau Empire, with the intention of having them help him recover some of the territory he lost to the Dark Imperium. In a sense, the Tau did unknowingly already help him out, when they accidentally "intercepted" the Death Guard invasion fleet that was attempting to attack Ultima. The DeathGuard were surprised to warp into Ultramar space and find the wrong kind of blue guys defending it. Everyone plays that event as a "hurr hurr, how do you like dealing with Chaos, you naive Tau", but really when you think about it, imagine how pissed off the DeathGuard must have been to have their long planned assault screwed over by some random nobody xenos, who for whatever goddamned reason had decided to construct a fortress and assemble a huge defence fleet right on top of the rift in the warp that the DeathGuard wanted to enter by. They'd have gone back into the warp during their withdrawal asking, "Who the f*** were those guys? Those weren't Ultramarines! Why couldn't we sense the bastards in the warp before we arrived!? Has Gulliman bred an army of blue skinned blanks? They died just fine to Nurgles basic gifts, but they shrugged off every soul plague like they couldn't even hear it. WTF man... They totally ruined our sneak attack into Ultima." Meanwhile the Tau are just, "What the f*** was that!? What the f*** was that!? That was horrible! Is that going to happen again? By Aun'Va's beard I hope not. I'm not sure this warp travel stuff the Imperials keep gloating about is all it's cracked up to be. Holy shit, they smelled so bad that I'm still in therapy about it."

However, this Kais is unrelated to Shas'O Kais, as O'Kais was a student of Commander Puretide, who died before the Damocles Gulf Crusade, while La'Kais wouldn't even finish his basic training until 200 years after the Damocles Gulf Crusade".

I mean Far sight did speak about how he isn’t the greatest fan of humans. Long term Tau plans for humanity potentially seem to revolve around slowly killing it off after making them serve. This is one of the highest ranking military officers in Tau Empire, speaking to his officers in Blades of Damocles: ‘By a warrior’s tools you shall know him,’ quoted Farsight solemnly. ‘Just as the fire caste are defined by the Hero’s Mantle we all aspire to master, the Imperial soldiery is represented by the crude weapons you see here. In their hearts, they do not intend to engage at range, but to scrabble around in murderous close-quarters combat, stabbing and slashing. The most perfunctory of uniforms is the only thing separating them from their primitive, ape-like ancestors.’ A ripple of disquiet filled the holotheatre. ‘Such a barbaric race has no place upon a core sept world,’ continued Farsight. ‘They have no role in the universe other than to be brought to heel, culled and consigned to slow oblivion.’ And no I did not watch the entire video before posting this

I cant confirm this but im gonna assume its probably true, which is why i like the tau Empire more, they look after the humans and integrate them into the tau society, im sorry if im offending farsight fans but farsight will not accomplish that many great things, at least in a scale that would damage other factions greatly. İt has not been confirmed that ethereals use mind control and is just rumors, i think the reason tau value them is just because they have been taught that way, in their history ethereals helped uplift them as a whole, so when a ethereal meets them they probably feel like they met a hero. And yes i know ethereals did bad things like hiding the existence of demons, but how are you supposed to explain this without making the population go depressive, i mean hell even the imperium hid the existence of demons to not make people panic, i firmly believe the ethereals are trying to make their empire better, even if they have to hide some truths, because the other choice will lead their people to be hopeless, you cant just tell a soldier that the Empire we are fighting actually has like millions of planets while we only have a few thousand.

Farsight Enclaves are unambiguously heroic now, but it's weird because he is like, otherwise blatantly evil-seeming Like, they are a splinter group of traitor-warriors who follow a military commander and warrior, instead of an ethereal caste (Ie, someone who is a lot more of a diplomat) who helms a multi-species empire. On original publication, he had no alien allies, though this has changed. His warriors sport a blood-red paint scheme and use high-mobility blitz attacks. Farsight himself uses a potentially-daemon artifact that absorbs life, and the whole place is branded as essential "Tau Heretics." Farsight is also a pretty solid parallel of the Char Clone archetype from mecha series and Gundam in particular... And Char type characters are usually inspirational, but at least a maverick force (if not an outright villain) I have to wonder, if when the Tau Empire was first made, if he was pitched as like "The Evil Tau" and just ended up the exact opposite as the series developed. Or, alternatively, if he was always intended to be this great and inspirational hero who was just like, blood red and war-focused

[@UnknownSquid]

Ehhh. The Damocles Crusade will always get endlessly misrepresented won't it? Even when the person mentioning it isn't actually trying to talk down on the Tau for once. I know it's pedantic, but I gotta keep busting this myth where I can. The big myth being that the crusade ended because of the Tyranids. It didn't. The Wendall Gauge had already given the order to make a full retreat of all Imperial forces from Dal'yth well before the order came from Kryptman regarding the Tyranids. At the point that the news arrived, Imperial forces had already virtually completed Operation Hydra (the crusades evacuation operation), with their forces concentrated on the space port making their withdrawal, and crusade leadership had were already in the process of diplomacy with the Tau, to negotiate a mutual ceasefire and un-harried retreat. ( Fun fact, entering diplomacy with xenos during a crusade to purge said xenos, is NOT standard Imperial policy, and not something done when in a dominant position.) Aside from the considerable losses in terms of Tau forces, the Crusade actually did pretty much f*** all to the Tau. In total it kicked their embasies off of two Imperial worlds, and then razed a tiny fishing outpost and a very minor fringe farming world, totalling less than a million in population between them. It stopped dead on Dal'yth, the literal first developed Tau world it encountered. Beyond any infrastructure damaged in the fighting, the Tau lost no territory, and nothing of importance. The Crusade had already lost one third of it's fleet by the time the fighting peaked on Dal'yth, these being primarily it's combat vessels and capital ships, which left it with a huge fleet of vulnerable transports and not enough combat vessels left to defend them should another engagement occur. The crusades leaders knew they couldn't risk continuing like this, hence the controversial decision to make a diplomatic withdrawal instead of just giving the usual Imperial middle finger and dropping an exterminatus before leaving. (Also the Space Marines declared that doing an exterminatus would be a pussy thing to do, and make them look like sore losers, since they'd actually gained a degree of respect for the Tau as adversaries during the fighting.) The Tyranids were merely the final nail in the half buried coffin that was the Damocles Crusade. Would have made no difference had they never arrived, spare that the Imperium _might_ have tried to muster reinforcements for a second attempt. ( Note that they never did. In the centuries that have passed, the Imperium made a single attempt to exterminate the Tau, and then decided it wasn't worth the trouble.)

In the original lore from the 3.5 and 4e dexes, the sword was implied to be a C'tan phase blade of some kind. His sword, the Calidus' C'tan Phase Blades, and Necron Warscythes were the only melee weapons in the game during that era until the beginnings of 6th edition that ignored Invulnerable Saves.

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

I still find it ironic that the Farsight Enclaves were first introduced as the token evil,barbaric, racist, isolationist Tau who betrayed the Empire, only for GW to later make the main Empire more moraly grey(at best) in order to appease people who complained about them being too good for the setting and retconed Farsight's people as as an even smaller faction that is undoubtetly good and moral and even more anime for the "few" people that still wanted to play the Tau as the good guys. Only for them to become by far the most popular/beloved Tau in the game (rip my boy Aun shi)

I believe the dawnblade is more of a reference to stormbreaker, and if that's the case the blade is so haunted it will make the thing inside the blade of antwyr (a deamon so powerful that they need to dedicate the purest of purifiers, castellan crowe to constantly keep it in check) look pathetic in comparison. Just wait for a time when he can't kill enemies for a whole month and he will get mad, if not instantly die of old age.

I like the enclave, and tau in general, because their grim dark aspect doesn’t come from being super murderous or crazy, but from the fact that they are a young race realizing that the rest of the galaxy is fucked. Them having their naïveté shattered and adapting to the ways of the galaxy and becoming cynical would be amazing and give them an in lore reason to be better at melee whilst keeping ranged be the focus.
