Tau Auxiliaries and their Highschool Stereotype | Warhammer 40k Lore

Ironically the Faction that everyone seems to hate is one of the only factions that has friends. Today we'll talk about the myriad of Tau Auxiliary species. From kroot to vespid I'll talk about them all! (at least the ones I could find).
I always want to put out accurate lore, but I recognize the real and likely possibility I will make mistakes. Entertainment is the first priority of the Quick 40K lore series, and I always implore you to look into the topics discussed more in depth. Read the books, play the game, and watch other creators too!

Not canon coz the Blood Ravens ending was the canon one for Dark Crusade. But I really liked the Tau ending where Imperial Guard who surrendered were inducted into the Gue’Vesa, while the rest were executed. Best part of that ending was an almost throwaway line, mentioning declining human birth rates. Implied to be a result of Tau sterilisation efforts, coz they didn’t trust the Imperials, but couldn’t go full exterminatus coz of their image.

[@archer9480]

Nah, clearly the declining birth rates were because the human men couldn't have kids with Tau women, despite their best efforts.

Or its a sign of their life improving with education as it's the case of our world. The better the lives of people, the lower the birth rates.

I prefered the old lore. Theres something smug in the fact the only good guy faction is the Tau which are space lefties. Personally id have the fun of them be how astonishingly human they are. The Taus darkness should be like, the Tau fighting for deconstruction of the caste system. Civil protests ect. I think the Tau actually changing for the better internally would be more fascinating. There the only living empire in a stagnant dying world. Tau being good guy every men who look at everyone else with a raised eyebrow and concern gives them an identity that enhances the grimmdark by giving a weak light to contrast it.

"Tarellian dog soldiers look like dogs"... Not the fist WH40k content creator to say it... Still...False... But it happens when people dont even bother to reed the material that they are using (theoretically) for the content. In canon they make sounds similar to dog barks and thats why they got the name from the imperials.

[@KrakDuk]

Their faces do kinda look like dogs tho. They’re described with canine snouts and the only art of them looks kind of like a lizard dog. I even mention they’re a reptilian species first and foremost. I can’t read every single book super in depth for obvious reasons, but I do try my best to cross check info. But of course with the nature of shorter videos I can’t squeeze every detail in and will sometimes get stuff wrong. My first goal with these videos is to try and be entertaining as to spark interest in the lore. Then if something is interesting enough someone can read the books for more in depth lore. No video can really compare to reading a full book in terms of depth and detail, so these are really just stepping stones in my eye.

[@olivierluisin1790]

Gw strikes again !

[@marcospatricio8283]

It actually makes a lot of sense. The Nicassar's evolution centered a lot around the warp, to the point they use it to perceive the world around them and move mostly by their telekinesis. The Nicassar themselves understand the warp, but can't really explain it to the Tau. To make a poor analogy: imagine humans find a super advanced species of blind, deaf ant-like creatures that perceive the world and communicate mostly trough smell. How the fuck would you explain classical mechanics or electricity to them?

[@azurewraith2585]

@@marcospatricio8283 mean a.) the tau could still research the phenomena that they create. As we see in the imperium you can still learn about and understand psychic phenomena without being psychic. B.) the tau have humans in their society who are also psychers probably even a few sanctioned psychers and navigators who jumped ship. C.) you can describe the practical aspects of someone even if they arnt capable of it. Sure the owl bears may not be able to articulate every aspect but explaining that the basics shouldn’t be that hard. I can explain driving a car to someone even if they arnt physically capable of driving one themselves. Your premise assumes that the nikkasar can’t communicate complex ideas to the tau which is verifiably false given they had enough common ground to you know integrate into tau society

[@marcospatricio8283]

@@azurewraith2585 mate, I assume it's not the case, but you're coming off as kinda angry and putting words in my mouth. I'm just trying to have a friendly chat, ok? This is a silly discussion about a made up universe. If it is affecting you negatively, you should probably just ignore me and move on. Assuming I just read you wrong and we can continue, I'll address your points one by one. a) I never said they don't. Keyword: "research". That means "observing phenomena and learning trying very hard to understand them", not "instantly knowing it". Research takes time and progresses in steps. The Tau were in the stone age 6K years ago. They are at most 5K years old. It's very plausible they just didn't have enough time to understand the warp properly. b) yes. They also don't understand the warp that well. Prospero, for example, had a massive population of psychers and thousands of years of study (the wiki states the very foundation of the colony was related to psychically talented humans), and they still didn't learn the chaos gods existed until it was too late. And to make things worse, possession among human psychers who aid in research must be very common, which is both a great hazard and a source of false information. Psychers and navigators are certainly very important in Tau research, and I'd love to have some in the Tau empire, specially in a book. But they are not easy and readily available sources of knowledge. c) I think you're misunderstanding my point, but I don't blame you. My background makes me forget how hard it was for me to learn and accept that. I'm a CS student with emphasis in robotics in my 5th year (which means I probably learnt this stuff 3/4 years ago) and let me tell you, mate: we can't explain or replicate lots of shit humans do. There's over 40 years of research on bipedal robots, and about halfway we just gave up on programming them to walk and have them learn it instead. Precisely because walking is so instinctive to us, we can't understand or replicate it's minutiae. And that's not the only thing. Edge detection is very hard, object segmentation as well, object permanence is night-impossible to achieve as far as I know, and so on and so forth. Manipulators are also very hard to make, and while soft robotics are proving very promising, we didn't even try to program these and have been using ML since the begging. I get that it is very counter intuitive, but these are the facts, and I'm basing myself on them to reach my conclusion. If we can't put easily instinctive concepts we ourselves are capable of into words or to use in technology, do you really think we would have an easy time teaching them to a species so unlike our own?

I find it weird how a lot of people say that the Tau use sterilization and re-education, which potentially exist within the empire but only mentioned ONCE in a non-canon video game ending. Don't get me wrong there's plenty fucked about the T'au, but compared to cannibalism, slavery, literal genocide or being cut open on a table for the mechanicus I think most of us would still prefer tautok in comparison.

Fun fact. Humans born into the Tau empire will also worship the Greater God as like a God unlike the Tau that to them the Greater Good is a philosophy. This worshipping of the Greater God has caused a new Warp entity, and the Tau themselves don't really know how to feel about it. Also, no, the whole thing about starlinzing(God, I'm bad at spelling, sorry, but I think you know which word I'm trying to say, right?) Is just Imperium propaganda. After all Humans are born into the Tau empire so they're not just converted Imperium citizens or warriors. Their worlds start out as that but slowly over time they become fully Tau worlds and of course humans are born onto these worlds and after generations they might not even know the Imperium exist at all and just do whatever it is Gue'vesa do on Tau worlds. Now of course if you mean that Gue'vesa cannot do the dirty with anyone other than a human in Tau society then yeah that's kinda what happens. But they are not stairlized(again, forgive me for my bad spelling)

I didn’t realize the sterilization thing was mostly imperium propaganda. Thanks for pointing that out, I think I was remembering older lore.

As for the nicassar lore, I didn’t know that. That’s pretty cool I couldn’t find much about them so thanks for pointing that out. Thanks for watching!

Found your channel today...keep up the great work😊

[@KrakDuk]

Oh hey that’s awesome! Hope you enjoy my videos, there’s a lot more to come

[@noah-vk7zc]

@@KrakDuk Great. Can't wait :D

[@TheTinyTyranid]

A great vid as always, btw are you gonna do a vid about squigs anytime soon?

[@KrakDuk]

Thank you very much! That’s a good idea, going over all the squig variants can be a fun thing to cover. I’ll put it on the list, thanks for the suggestion

[@franciscorui]

A tau aux codes would be fun. If i could create stats inwould try and make one

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

Will you be covering the Orks next?

[@KrakDuk]

They might be a part of the next video, but not the focal point unfortunately. I definitely will be covering the orks more in the future though. Next weeks video will probably be 5 models that I think are worse than their previous iteration.

Indeed guardsman! Thats the only reason I made a video about the xenos filth

[@KrakDuk]

Thank you very much! I’m excited to get more videos out, I have a lot of topics I want to cover

Tau is the faction I play the most. Specifically my Kroot army even if I virtually never win XD.

Human radio man picking up a cluster’s distress call. “Come in, what’s your unit? We’ll send help!” “We are the 126th cluster, I am the 1st friend! By the greater will, the emperor has blessed us with your help!” *targets their location with artillery instead*

"Humans are the best auxiliary" Kroot: WHERE ARE YOUR MODELS THEN

[@cybercoven6502]

How can this man forget about the Kreetons or the Bal’zcrach, both of which could restart a galaxy by sneezing…….why you think it’s called 40,000? They Bal’zcrach are very hypoallergenic

[@arquitensproduction8001]

AFAIK only the humans on Kronus that got sterilized

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

I don't actually like Tau auxiliaries, I'm very much a space racist.

[@FlameBinder55]

Imagine playing a game with every possible Tau Auxiliary while the opponent player is absolutely baffled that the Tau have a lot more friends than expected.

[@nebelpanzer]

Image a Death Korps of Krieg killteam but made of Gue've or T'au. Fat would be crazy 🤪

[@69Kazeshini]

The auxillaries sound like theybhave alot of potential. They can be the covenant in wh40k.

[@salsicha5305]

This might be my biggest hot take in 40k but the Tau are not only good for 40k standards; they're good period. Hell I'd support them irl. Oh wow you get a peaceful (in the sense that the citizens aren't aware of constant warfare and aren't exposed to violence daily due to good administration), stable, advanced, egalitarian and diverse society in which everyone feels welcome and the only cost for that is not being a bigot zealot and some alleged mind control that, even if true, is still a very good bargain.

[@Pyromaniac77777]

Great stuff you deserve more subs

[@KrakDuk]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it

[@TheKersey475]

Out of all the T'au auxillaries, the one I want to see most get its own figure someday is the Vorgh. Imagine being able to call in Godzilla to throw down with a Titan or Gargant

[@KnightFerrocous]

The forced sterilization of the gue'vesa is from a noncanon ending of Dawn of War and literally nothing else and its such a forced meme. Demiurg being retconned into Votann to give them more legitimacy is a heinous retcon and I hate it. For years and years we were told that Demiurg were a distinct species from Squats and weren't related to humanity at all and I despise this change but I also generally don't like the Votann.

[@dman2130]

[@hihibye2324]

So I'm just now getting into Warhammer, and all I can say is, I had no idea the Tau was even a thing until this video.

[@novaflame832]

Kin. Not votann The votann are the powerful AI. The kin are the abhumans known to the imperium as squats

[@JaseKeaton-x9m]

Yo, is it just me or did invincible steal from Warhammer with the Thaxonns

[@Robitron2084]

Blueface?? I was little startled by but thats pretty tame when it comes to 40k racism😭😭

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

I wish we got more invertibrate Xenos outside of Tyranids. Make aliens more alien!

[@niclyx7970]

Gue'vesa wearing blueface but the Tau are too polite to tell them it's racist so then Gue'vesa react to every insinuation of racism with "well my best friend is a Tau and he's ok with it"

[@supernoloo7757]

I think the earth cast would be more of the building/welding classes whatever that click is
