>>64701588even when you take into account the blueberries plot armor, ultramar still existing makes sense given the fact said blueberries are one of the few chapters that actually developed their world and by extension its defensive abilities instead of keeping it a 24/7 hellhole just so they can get a few extra sociopaths as recruits
>>64701639>one of the few chapters that actually developed their worldThere's a huge asterisk here in that it's only by the standards of the Imperium. They still only have a life expectancy of 35, it's just that the rest of the Imperium is even worse. And both of those are pathetic even in comparison to Russia which even with its shitty peasant lifestyle still manages to eke out a life expectancy of twice that of Ultramar.
>>64701616>The Tyranid invasion pretty much saved the asses of everyonebut that's exactly my problem with the tau in how they're portrayed, and it's more a problem of how 40k writers don't understand scale. every time the tau are in over their head fighting a foe that should by every right win, they either leave or become pants on head retarded and fumble hard. why did the deathguard leave instead of fucking them up? how does changing what gun you use suddenly beat tyranid adaptation (tyranids making poisons that can kill deathguard is equally retarded)? why do they now have their own chaos god of the greater good that, instead of becoming twisted like all warp entities, is ostensibly benign despite having nowhere near the population of even the craftworld eldar? ultramar controls more worlds than all of the tau empire, why haven't they decided to either exterminate them or at least open negotiations to prevent either from getting fucked by tyranids or deathguard again? there's just to many head scratchers for my liking and that's coming from an eldar player.>the sort of cope monke is known forwe all know monkey wouldn't sign shit unless it was massively in his favor and preferably from a golden ox cart. but then he would probably invade 5 years later after getting high off his own supply again, just like what the imperium eventually did.
>>64701667You misunderstand, the Tyranid Invasion didn't save the Tau, they saved the Imperium's invading force. The Tau were receiving reinforcements and were pushing the Imperium back, the Tyranid's crusade was going to fail no matter what. However, if they did retreat most of them would get executed for failing their duties, the Tyranid Invasion saved the crusading force by allowing them an excuse to retreat in the face of inevitable defeat.>why did the deathguard leave instead of fucking them up?The Deathguard was never going to survive the other side of the Startide Nexus, it was the most fortified area in all the Tau Empire and had basically the entire concentration of the Tau's military there ready to fight. That they got shredded by the Tau'va before ever getting there ultimately didn't alter their end outcome.>how does changing what gun you use suddenly beat tyranid adaptationBecause tyranids can adapt to anything, but they can't adapt to everything at the same time. Besides even Space Marines use special ammo against Tyranids, the Tau aren't unique in this.>ultramar controls more worlds than all of the tau empire, why haven't they decided to either exterminate themBecause Utramar is a destitute shithole by the standards of the Tau. It's the Moscow to the Imperium's Russia, a slightly shinier turd on the dung pile.
>>64701667The industrial output of an Imperial world is pitiful relative to what it ought to be, because of the hideous inefficiency of the Imperium

If you want to break ice, buy an icebreaker, it's orders of magnitude cheaper and comes with the benefit of creating a gap that is actually large enough for other ships.

>>64663259>>64668521A26's were ridiculously effective and efficient, but suffered from airframe fatigue.I worked on an "OnMark" that flew out of Goodyear back in the 90's, and the owners said they NEVER used the full power of the 2800's just to try and reduce wear on the airframe. Not the engines. The airframe. They could replace the engines.
>>64699456>airframe fatigueBecause they were manufactured in the mid-1940s(also, the 1950s and later remanufactures/modifications had already been the subject of STCs and rebuilds; see the recent A-20 Havoc thread)

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
Okay, i'm starting now re: >>64647358 / >>64654060 / >>64690132 etcIt was probably pretty effective, but how much so is debatableOn the Native side, both codices and textual accounts have them severing necks and limbs (see the Florentine Codex in >>64647358 and in pic related). The Spanish also praise it's lethality, Diaz states:>and two-handled stone edged swords, which cut better than our swords...made with stones which cut worse than knives, so cleverly arranged, that one can neither break nor pull out the bladesThe chronicler Baltasar Dorantes de Carranza also states Macuahuitl cut better then Spanish swords ("...las macanas, espadas de navaja que cortaban mexor que las nuestras...") but he may just be parroting Diaz (tho Diaz's account wasn't widely published yet at the time). Meanwhile, Diaz himself I suspect is also pulling from another Conquistador, the "Anonymous Conquerer", who said>They have swords...of wood... like a two-handed sword, but with the hilt not so long; about three fingers in breadth. The edges are grooved, and in the grooves they insert stone knives, that cut like a Toledo knife. I saw one day an Indian fighting with a mounted man, and the Indian gave the horse...a blow in the breast that he opened it to the entrails, and it fell dead...I saw another Indian give another horse a blow in the neck, that stretched it dead at his feetWith this likely being the origin of various other Spanish claims that Macuahuitl could behead a horse in a single stroke. As you can see here, the original claim is not quite as impressive, but still attests to it being effective. Francisco Hernández de Córdova, another Conquistador, claims it could split a man in two, but in contrast to Diaz, states that after one use the blades broke or came off:Comment too long.

>>64642130>The Mesoamericans were pretty advanced when it came to agriculture, astronomy, and sanitatiomIncas had agricultural techniques at 18-19th century level Europe, including open field laboratories for plants
>>64698364I'll get to this in my dump (>>64698336) but the Mesoamericans also had experimental botanical sites like Inca ones
>>64680543>>64687468>>64688705It was loosely based on meso American culture.Mel Gibson says himself, that the movie is about American culture in the US. we lost our ways and became overly capitalist (jewish) and embraced human sacrifice (abortion(also jewish)) and we will be conquered by foreigners unless we change our ways and return to God.
>>64698336cont:Further down the spectrum of criticism we have Las Casas, who says also says blades fell out and broke easily, and that while they could "split a man's head open"(?), that they couldn't sever limbs (at least cleanly) and couldn't behead horses, because the wooden shaft would limit penetration into flesh:>Por armas tenian...espadas de palo y: hincadas unas navajas de las piedras que arriba dejimos negras como pedernales, y aunque con éstas pueden hender la cabeza a un hombre, pero no cortar cercén un brazo, puesto que le corten o quiebren o troncen el hueso, cuanto menos cortar cercén un pescuezo de un caballo con riendas y todo, como algunos dicen por engrandecer sus hazafias. La razon es la que arriba sefialamos, conviene a saber, porque no tienen tanta fuerza los filos de las dichas navajas, que facilmente los pierden. Lo que podran efectuar con aquella espada en el pescuezo del caballo, sera dalle herida cuanto entraren los filos en la carne, que no pasaran de un canto de real de plata, porque todo lo otro es grueso, por tener el lomo...Obviously some claims of their lethality and durability both on the Native and Spanish side are embellishments, but Casas was a missionary and I'm not sure he ever saw them in active combat, unlike Diaz, the Anonymous Conqueror, and Cordova, and as seen below, even poor replicas show it could in fact cut deep into flesh, and may also show they weren't one use weapons. Also, all that said, if they weren't effective, then the Mesoamericans wouldn't have used them and the Spanish wouldn't bother praising them.The Mesoamericans were not idiots or lacking good equipment: we're talking about urban civilizations that had cities (which could match some of the larger contemporary European ones in size and infrastructure) and complex governments for thousands of years before the Spanish showed up, and who had organized armies that used actual armor and specific and varied types of weapons, see pic2/?
