One is just one player, as a Necron. Another is me, my friend and his girlfriend. I'm bringing the Imperial Knights, my friend is bringing Tau, his girlfriend is Khorne Daemonkin.

 

You should join the Tau as they aren't just good there the Greater Good haha (strangely though I have two armies haha Both Tau and Necron)

I think standard Tau are hypocritical, delusional, pheromone-controlled self-righteous assholes, worse than Imperium in some respects. Rooting for Farsight Enclaves though. Well, my friend IS bringing Farsight Enclaves..

? do you know anything about the Tau story? the Tau are very fair and just to all who don't try and kill them or there allies....it's the whole reason the Tau has imperial worlds join them despite the fact that they will (and have on many occasions) have to defend them against imperial fleets of even crusades. (and as far as I'm aware the Tau are the first alien race to actually stop a crusade from the black Templar's) 

[Mobius-99/305 47]

Pheromone control, self-righteousness, concentration camps and sterilization do it.

Yes, I do know a lot. They're Orwellian assholes with an ideology of "join us or else". The only difference between them and Imperium is that they will give a chance to join to everyone but if that chance is not taken they will either trick or force them into joining.

 

Farsight Enclaves are better though.

Interesting game

I shall play it!

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

Yes the Farsight have the same "Kill everything and give no chances" ideology the Imperium has haha at least the tau give you the choice and if you join them then you will live a good life (compared to the rest of the Galaxy)

[SpeedForceDashie 68]

And this is where it ends

[Dawnchaser 🌄 8,088]

Why does Imperium bother to go toe-to-toe in combat (pistols that only fire 72' "irl")

Why not just exterminatus from orbit.

 

...wouldn't be much of a game then.

Enclaves wanna be left alone, to the best of my knowledge. Don't poke 'em, they won't come after you. Both Tau and Imperium will, regardless.

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

Well at least the tau leader doesn't consume 10,000 of there own citizens soul's each day to keep him energized........(that's the emperor by the way)

[Dawnchaser 🌄 8,088]

We gladly give our souls to the Emperor

 

Heh

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

 

 

We gladly give our souls to the Emperor

 

The "Gue'vesa" (human's that joined the Tau Empire) Gladly give there live's for the Greater good....Also if there imperium is so good then why do you kill your own people just because they seen your own people?

[Mobius-99/305 47]

Well at least the tau leader doesn't consume 10,000 of there own citizens soul's each day

 

That's actually a common misunderstanding. Not every day, you bloody dungus. Each rotation of the Choir lasts a while. There in fact isn't enough psykers in all of Mankind to keep up the tempo of 10k per day if that was the case.

 

Not to mention that Gue'Vesa are doomed in the end since their souls are not watched over by the Emperor and thus they'd get nom'd by daemons.

 

Not that Tau care either since the Tau Empire are the setting's "flat earth atheists", to put it into TVTropes' terms - they are blatantly oblivious to the effects of the Warp and existence of daemons and would remain such, even if a daemon prince knocks on their doorstep. Because it's what ethereals preach and pheromone control makes all Tau obey and agree.

 

Also not to mention that Tau Empire as a whole takes up as much space on the map of the galaxy as a... dot. And not to mention that in Damocles Gulf they basically had their asses served to them and the only thing that saved them from having their homeworld exterminatus'd was the encroaching Tyranid invasion and the beginning of the 13th Black Crusade. Don't forget - Imperium does not give a flying fuck about losses and neither do its soldiers or commanders. Tau do not have enough resources to win a war of attrition. Nobody wins a war of attrition with the Imperium. In the end, they are doomed.

...not to mention that Imperium's fleet is vastly superior technologically (largest Tau ships barely classify as escorts in Imperium's book - taking one Imperial battleship out costs tremendous losses to Kor'Vattra), and so is the Imperial Guard, especially its heavier units, and so are Adeptus Mechanicus-related units, like knights or titan legions, of which Tau have no equivalents entirely. Even if you remember of the existence of Stormsurge, that thing is like a very bad and squishy knight, being in a class of a "gargantuan creature" rather than a super heavy walker. Its armour is similar to that of a Space Marine terminator durability-wise, and is nowhere near the glorious one man army capable Armour Value 13 hull of the Knight. Finally, not to mention that Commander Shadowsun's reaction to having to fight Imperium after the Damocles basically amounted to "no, please, don't beat me so badly!" and perpetually high tailing it. Oh, and not to mention that in the course of Damocles Gulf war Tau lost. Imperium has billions if not trillions of soldiers to spare and has successfully cleansed several Tau planets completely. Any losses Tau have inflicted upon Imperium are insignificant. What they saw as great victory and achievement was just a Tuesday skirmish for the Imperium.

 

And according to the updates in their fluff the Tau are now trying to poke Imperium again, forgetful of how badly they got beaten last time, thanks to the Ethereals keeping secret of just how huge a force they actually faced and how little damage they've done. Their little pets think they accomplished something. How cute.

 

Tl;dr: Tau are fucked.

Have at thee, sucker.

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

so you do know a lot . and I know the tau are very small in comparison but in the time it took the Imperium to re-open communications from one planet to the rest of the empire (talk about all your egg's in one basket) the tau went from fighting amongst themselves with flintlock style weapons to being a galactic empire with rifle's that (in the lore) go right through space marine power armor (I believe the phrase is plasma spamming b******ds) oh and the demons of the warp can't actually sense the presence of the tau at all so there is no threat there. 

 

Oh and you do know that the "Damocles Gulf" was nothing but a trap made by the tau ya? there infamous Titan Legions where wiped out by Manta Destroyers and the White Scares took severe Casualties for a space marine chapter while all supply lines where not to arrive for a HUNDRED years (real organized there by the way haha) all to hunt down and kill Commander Shadowsun just to find out that the one they where hunting was nothing but a decoy to bait them..(and the Tau fire warriors that died where volunteer's and criminals that where giving a chance to die for there empire for the greater good)

 

The whole pheromone thing is a lie too by the way, the tau can and have said no but would rather die in most cases because they respect the Ethereal's for uniting them and showing them the way of the Greater Good. 

 

I'm not saying the Tau are all good but the Imperium is nothing but Monsters and I would rather have to go through a bucket load of propaganda then be any part of that atrocity you call an empire.

 

And now a question for you:When the Golden throne fails (and it is failing) every ship in the Imperium will be unable to navigate the warp or communicate with each other so every planet in the imperium will have to rely only on itself....what do you think would happen to your precious empire? I mean Terra would fall almost immediately since there is a mini "eye of Terror" in the palace which is only being held back by it and as Magnus the Red is the only other one able to use it (and I doubt he would)...yah it's not looking good

No, you are mistaken. Lexicanum refers to uncanny levels of control, to the point of Tau gladly shooting himself in the head if an Ethereal tells them to. Plus, Farsight Enclaves supplement mentions that Farsight had something beyond mere reasoning and respect telling him to obey what he later deemed as unreasonable requests of an Ethereal. He himself feels that there is something more sinister to their "charisma". Pheromone control is real.

What does it matter if any damage done to Imperium's war machine was miniscule?

Also a lie, actually. Navigators can navigate without and beyond the light of Astronomicon - it's just very much harder, same goes for communication between astropaths. If Golden Throne fails Imperium will split into smaller sections of human-controlled space, but not completely crumble. Smaller astopath choirs in fact are located all over human controlled space and in absence of Astronomicon their mental "songs" would fill in as miniature psychic beacons.
