If you think about it, The Farsight enclave are basically the Tau version of Pre End of Horus Heresy Chaos. They are rebelling against a corrupt empire under a charismatic leader who is vaguely chaos corrupt. Its pretty interesting, though I still prefer base Tau.
I’m surprised at least a gue’vesa kill team hasn’t been made yet by gw. And even then I’ve only seen like one creator make decent human tau stl models.Maybe guevesa truly aren’t that popular as fan art makes them out to be?
>>98533871what would they do?guevesa would almost never be trusted enough to do anything except die on the frontlines and tau have enough infantry chaff units with strike teams, breacher teams, kroot carnivores, and farstalkers
>>98533903I dunno but I can see GW recycling the stats of phased out kill teams for them so I guess they’ll inherit their roles. Lore wise it is up in the air with what they’ll say. All lore as transformers fans say is “to sell toys.”I’d vote Krieg veteran guard stats for the hypothetical guevesa kill team.
>>98533856Tau are boring because they don't anything. Their new chaos god is the first time Tau have been interesting but it will go nowhere just like the Eldar.
Kroot are why I like them. Also the first version of Stealth Suits. I've never cared for the Crisis, etc Suits.
>>98533856I don't have any idea what any of that means, because I have the generals filtered.
>>98533856I like the Tau cause they fulfill my efficiency fetish. All the 40k factions (with the exception of the Eldar and Tau) are so riddled with inefficiencies and infighting that they never come close to the true height of their potential. The Tau are the only faction remotely close to operating at peak efficiency, and it shows. Even their most basic 'cannon fodder' soldiers are still equipped better than Tempestus Scions, and each Tau planet is outputting roughly the same power projection as 100 Imperium planets combined, and they do all this without even having to make their citizens lives miserable in the process. Plus, I've always had a soft spot for rising powers, and they're basically the only playable faction in 40k that's a rising power that won't destroy the galaxy by winning.
>>98533856Do you agree with this question, the only interesting thing GW can do with the Tau now is make them fall to Chaos
>>98534571>chaos tauWhat would that even look like?>spiky battlesuitNot sure if the greatest thing ever or the worst.
>>98533871They are, since they are mentioned a lot in Tau books and were central to the whole "T'au'va" reveal in the Immaterium. The Tau were seeing people building shrines and treating the Greater Good like a sort of Confucian philosophical belief, and through their psychic emanations were able to spawn a goddess in the Warp.
>>98534571No, that sounds lame to me. Then they're just like everything else. The Dark Taudar Chaos Marines.What they should do is BEAT their chaos god. Break a power and end its malevolence forever. Shake a pillar of Heaven and prove it actually can be done if you're not fucking animals.
>>98534769As in popular or is there a guevesa model leak or both?Also where was this tau god from? Psychic awakening I haven’t read or a black library book?Either way it will be funny seeing the ones who wanted guevesa before they got models have the sweet nerd cred of wanting them with proofs and able to hold it over the newcomers. Nerd tribalism is a beautiful thing and I am part of the problem.
>>98533903Imperial vehicles with Tau guns on them would be an obvious thing to have rules for, letting people kitbash them from parts.Human squads with a mix of lasguns and pulse weapons, perhaps carrying variants that are too 'heavy' for a Tau to haul around but a stronger human can use just fine. These special human teams have a Tau (perhaps in a stealthsuit or other small power armor) leading them to make sure that none of them get any ideas. Psi-Corp forces that have psyker powers that the Tau are trying to understand and find a use for but do not comprehend at all, which lets them do some neat stuff but also are walking timebombs waiting to go off.
>>98533903>guevesa would almost never be trusted enough to do anything except die on the frontlinesReminder that the gue'vesa "cannon fodder" are still equipped better than Tempestus Scions.
>>98533856Tau haven't been cool since 4th edition
>>98534614There's an old WD article from when grey knights came out that has a pretty good conversion of a posessed Tau, the Chapter Approved article was about how to add daemonic options to your army so the battle made sense. I'll see if I can find it.
>>98533856Tau are pretty lame, and do not aesthetically nor thematically mesh well with the whole grimdark gothicness of warhammer 40k. And this is from someone who's first w40k army he collected was the Tau when they were first introduced. GW should just keep the Vespids, Kroots etc. and give them to Space Slann who should just be the star wars Hutts in Slanni format of the Warhammer 40.000 setting: being criminal masterminds employing other species to do their bidding. Or maybe like the Shadow Broker from the mass effect universe: bartering information regarding Chaos or lore from the Old Ones in return for favors from the younger, upstart races.
>>98538166I view tau as a containment faction, just like space wolves...
>>98538185That's because you're retarded.
>>98538231found the space wolf
>>98538185>containment factionme thinks i be too olde for these buzzwords and memephrases around here
>>98538266do you need me to explain it great grandpa or will you croak by the time I'm done?
>>98538166>gothicnessThe Eldar are also quite sleek. The gothicness is a primarily Imperial affecation that dribbles down to everyone else.
>>98538273>will you croak
>>98538372
>>98538372I cant post it but I like the porno where the Slann To'p'kek declares the day to be Wednesday and then proceeds to rail two broads at the same time. That's leadership I can wholeheartedly support
>>98534571disagree
What caste is the most likely to perform as sex workers?
>>98542274I can see, holograms and neuronal-stimulants being the low-tier form of sex work where Water Caste porn-stars provide a release valve for most population. Meanwhile actual ones would be more of a mixture of therapy, art, socialization, and performance, besides sex. Something like high-end courtesans. The best fit would be the water caste, although, I think each caste would have their own version to about caste mixing.
>>98542274I don't think any of them would.
>>98542274All castes would have to do it to avoid inter-caste mixing, unless it mixes therapy with sex work, which is fairly plausible. A surprising amount of people go to prostitutes not for sex, but for emotional therapy and for the "girlfriend experience" rather than sex.
>>98534065The Tau would destroy the galaxy by winning, because eventually they would matter enough that the Warp takes notice, and they are COMPLETELY unprepared to deal with that.
The cool thing about tau is the potential army diversity of a coalition of aliens working together.The lame thing about tau is their fanbase.
I love tau but there is a line of bad taste that should not be crossed. Like making names like el'miyamoto or kabuto. Or the kamikaze nukes that give white bands and wine to the pilots before flight.
>>98538166Tau are a fantastic addition to the game made by the best 40k writers to make a parody of american interventionism during the bush era spreading the greater democracy in exchange of oil. That level of finesse is outside of the current GW capabilities, instead you get things like the votan or age of sigmar.
>>9853753640k has not been cool since 4th edition. 40k will never get a book as good as the taros war ever again.
>>98533903Gue'vesa battlesuits exist
>>98542274Water Caste for foreign "negotiating" and "soothing relations" with gue'vesaEarth Caste for Tau
>>98542606>and they are COMPLETELY unprepared to deal with that.Not really. They have a warp goddess on their side and warp weapons for dealing with Chaos daemons along with a trained and weaponized psyker corp.
>>98544511>warp goddess on their sidea minor warp entity powered by human belief in the greater good isn't doing jack shit against the big 4 once the tau grab their attention. the eldar gods couldn't do anything against slaanesh, how would this new dogshit lore tau warp entity suddenly win no sweat?
>>98544545Ask the God-Emperor how useless human belief is against Chaos
>>98544545The moment the Big Four threaten the Tau'va goddess, Phil Kelly physically manifests, swats them away, and rewrites them so they stop going after the new character while her model is designed.
>>98544545The Eldar gods couldn't do anything about Slaanesh because Slaanesh is also an Eldar god. Plus their worship had atrophied away millennia earlier.Notice how the Eldar were fine with the protection of their gods for the previous 60 million years.
>>98533856>>98533871What Tau kits, if any, could be used for a kitbash based on this art? Got the base body idea already. Would it be better to just greenstuff sculpt?
>>98544679>The Eldar gods couldn't do anything about Slaanesh because Slaanesh is also an Eldar god.Eldar gods used to smack each other around all the time, see Khain and Vaul, or Khain and anyone if they looked at him funny.
>>98542739Anything that's not as powerful as a Custodes is cannon-fodder
>>98544907The point is that they didn't job to the Chaos gods for the longest time. They weren't destroyed by external powers, they were destroyed from within.
>>98545275Khain is an aspect of Khorne. Cegorach is the Deceiver. Your point is retarded. The eldar gods were destroyed by their hubris and the hubris of their mortal followers but this doesn't mean they were metaphysically immune to the chaos gods in setting.
>>98533856>can beat space marines>get punked by Catachans
>>98545368>get punked by CatachansWhen was this?
>>98534614>chaos tau>What would that even look like?Like if this had gone even a little bit differently. Buddy was trying to cause enough bloodshed to summon daemons to fight against the orks. Apparently the possessed battle suit is not in the UK WD for April 2003, I only have those on pdf. The leafistan version had it though.
>>98544589>be god emperor of mankind>powered by the collective belief of untold quadrillions of humans across hundreds of thousands of worlds and the daily sacrifice of 1k psykers per day.>somehow a minor warp entity that only manifested because of a few tens of billions of humans is your equalsorry taufag, your faction is about as important as the LoV. the only thing keeping your army around is paypigs and plot armor to rival named space marines.>>98544679pre-fall eldar were more psychically powerful than current day eldar, more widespread than current IoM humanity, and had 60+million years to feed the formation of warp god with their debauchery that ended their rule over the galaxy. how the fuck does a few billion humans create such a powerful minor warp entity within such a comparatively short timespan? an entity that isn't warped at all by conflicting ideas of what the greater good is, and is entirely benign when the warp is a daemonic hellscape?
>>98546436>of a few tens of billions of humans is your equalTens of trillions, and humans have achieved more with far less (see the Fenris World spirit)
>>98546436>>98546442And it's also backed up by an entire psyker race too.
>>98546454>meet potential psycher race!>0 lore relevance>0 models>1 warp god createdgiving the tau their own goddess was a mistake an another layer of plot armor to justify why they haven't been steam rolled by any of the major factions.
>>98538266>two words now a buzzwordI thought pretending to be retarded was abandoned in the last decade.But then again /tg/ shat on fun story and greentext threads because YouTube vultures we’re making videos off them and that negatively contributed to tg’s decline.
>>98546436>how the fuck does a few billion humans create such a powerful minor warp entity within such a comparatively short timespan?Humans are the last race created by the Old Ones before they disappeared from the Milky Way galaxy and were specifically engineered to eventually birth a vessel for the most powerful soul they ever managed to create/manifest, a.k.a. the Emperor of Mankind.The entire point of mankind in 40k is to allow the Emperor to wipe the Warp clean into its pre-War in Heaven state, when it was almost completely calm and devoid of "predators," or at least that was the hope of the Old Ones, according to their (last?) prophecy the Necrons still managed to preserve.This explains why human psykers have the highest ceiling of psychic power, higher than any eldar, even if 99.99999999% of those born with/who achieve that level of power will never be able to control it and will be destroyed/consumed by them. Fundamentally, the only "human" who matters is the Emps, everyone else is simply collateral and a resource for his ultimate fate, if he ever actually manages to get there.
>>98547874Tau pretty much are the potential faction. Their books too are mostly written by one guy who can't be bothered to actually keep it consistent with codex lore. They don't pose a real threat to the imperium whatsoever. Even the Kroot have more presence in games now.
>>98548143If the Tau take over the Chalnath Sector, the Ultima Segmentum Fortress at Kar Duniash is there and that is indeed pretty bad for the Imperium. Hydraphur has an army of Custodes guarding it full time, these are very big deal planets. It's why Chalnath is one of the five major warzone this edition.
>>98548190If. I know the Custodes are kinda overblown how effective they really are in lore but I think they can handle the tau assault.
>>98542274None. Tau only care about sex when ordered to for the purpose of procreation. They have no desire for whores.
>>98548018>Humans are the last race created by the Old Ones before they disappeared from the Milky Way galaxy and were specifically engineered to eventually birth a vessel for the most powerful soul they ever managed to create/manifest, a.k.a. the Emperor of Mankind.wat
>>98546436>how the fuck does a few billion humans create such a powerful minor warp entity within such a comparatively short timespan?Warp itself is way more fucked up and interwoven with the Materium than it used to be before Slaanesh's birth. I imagine spawning new Warp entities is easier than ever.
>>98548018honestly really dumb if true, but I can see it since old lore also had necrons seeding the pariah gene in a tent humanity as a potential vessel to reverse their biotransferance >>98548190>ifnothing ever happens. the tau might take a few "major" no-name planets, but it's hard to portray them as a serious threat when their territory is smaller than the realm of ultramar. however, getting to see the imperiumfag shitstorm caused if the redditstodes lost to the tau would almost be worth it.
>>98547874All you’re really saying is that the Tau need a bunch more tabletop models and I agree.
>>98548018That sounds fucking retarded. God I hate 40k ""lore"".
>>98548018>Humans are the last race created by the Old Oneswrong, humans were engineered by the Jokaero
>>98548210The Tau don’t even usually do sex for reproduction, but there’s no indication they don’t do it for fun. Humans and Tau are a pretty safe combo since there’s no risk of intercaste breeding.
>>98548212Humanity and the Emperor in the 40k setting are basically the “chosen ones” of the setting, there’s a whole prophecy plotline going on about us and the Emperor and so humanity basically has mountains of plot armor to ensure they never go extinct even though by all rights they should have millennia ago.
>>98547874Unironically reading up on the Farsight enclaves and the Ark of Omen about him aiming at becoming a daemon prince to wreak vengance on the etheareals has made me like that part of Tau. Fuck their greater good. All the Farshight parts highlight their oppression and hypocrisy and how they're just another liar empire emerging. Anyone who tries to jerk themselves off as >muh real underdogs but isn't a Farshight enclaver is an even worse bootlicker than impfags.
>>98548018>r at least that was the hope of the Old Ones, according to their (last?) prophecy the Necrons still managed to preserve.That's neat. What's that in?
>>98548553
>>98548589uhoh ethereal bootlicker melty
>>98548653Yes, every time anyone comes up with a solution to make our lives better, we should instantly rebel and join chaos because they didn’t create a 100% perfect system. You are so smart and brave.
>>98548662Oh lol the reeducation camps are for making everyone's lives better. Go read the dialogue where the etheral does your holier-than-t'hou bit at Farsight. Its a great insight into how they actually operate. The worst part s you've subbed in your irl political views for it so you'll think its A Good Thing™ .
>>98548699Reeducation camps are a significant improvement over extermination camps, yes. Being alive is generally considered better than being dead.
>>98548726Glad we agree the imperium is justified in its actions for the greater good.
>>98549022Yes, as are the Tau. The Imperium is better than Chaos, and the Tau are better than the Imperium. There is no situation where siding with Chaos over either is justified, nor where siding with the Imperium over the Tau is.
>>98549197Imperium looks cooler.
>>98533856Aye they are. Sadly there doesn’t seem to much usage of the farsight enclaves.They got made and then mostly forgotten with lore reminders that they’re still kicking.Probably didn’t generate the hype gw wanted so they just put them on the back burner until they got a good idea with what to do with them instead of deleting them.>>98534064>pic relatedThere’s gonna be more 40k threads as more anons realize /40kg/ is a banning minefield because a permanent ban evading autist there keeps coming back resulting in ban waves.So the risk of getting a false one is too high so it is better just make 40k threads outside that general.
>>98549197>The Imperium is better than Chaos,Correct>and the Tau are better than the Imperium. False. Siding with the Tau is only feasible if you decide to wear blinders about the scale of the setting. Which makes sense given your frontal lobe damage.
>>98553020Tau can hold off Orks, Tyranids and the Imperium all at once and still have a standard of living and technology that wows the adepts of Terra. You are just under delusion that stems from an overdose of cope.
>>98551216Arks of Omen: Farsight was not a great read, the ork stuff was mostly tacked on, but the internal struggles of the Farsight enclave Eight, Farsight almost falling to Khorne, the dialogue between him and an Ethereal etc. was interesting. Part of the problem is scope I think, they're a small enough number that its hard to have it carry weight unless they do a Tau civil war at some point.
>>98545344>Khain is an aspect of Khorne.Other way around
>>98553034Its a scope problem. You're incapable of seeing it, which is sort of funny given how slavishly you're cleaving to the greater good while not being able to imagine the wider galaxy. Fits in with people who are incapable of separating their irl opinions about quality of life in western industrialized nations from a scifantasy setting about grim dark violence.They're a side gig and an interesting outline of the early side of a hubris tale. They're flash in a pan mirrored after the rise and expansion of the imperium with the same outlined fate. Farsight just had his Ullanor, the fall will be interesting.
>>98553060>Warp space time handwavium about being exterior to linear time with eldar mythopetics pasted over it Whichever really.
>>98535623Gue'vesa Psi-Corps would be neat
>>98548553>him aiming at becoming a daemon prince to wreak vengance on the etheareals has made me like that part of Tau.Are you illiterate by any chance?
>>98553131Fund it.
>>98553186been looking at a lot of babylon 5 clips the past weekI might need to force some friends to rewatch it with me
>>98553185>>98546079>>98548553Are you? He plans on summoning daemons to help fight the orks by creating as much carnage as possible on an altar to the blood god. Its in the mail.
>>98548553this entire enclave must be purged
>>98553071You are retarded for pushing your opinions as facts.The whole theme about Farsight, FROM THE VERY AUTHOR OF HIS BOOKS, is that he is naive and the Ethereals are, in fact, right.The T'au are rising. Eldrad foresees them becoming something great that will surpass the greatest works of his race.The Imperium is hopeless; the T'au are not.Even the Elemental Council novel revolved around how the T'au way of doing things is superior to Imperium and how the Imperials wanted to ruin it by infecting the T'au with the rot that's killing their Imperium.
>>98533903>strike teamStandard gunline infantry.>breacher teamShort range shotgun infantry.>Kroot CarnivoresVersatile skirmisher infantry.Only niche I can see humans occupying would be acting as snipers since Tau vision is kind of shit.
>>98553199Weird, seems like the whole theme and writing of the linked bits that are cannon, as everything is cannon, are the exact opposite of what you want to push.
>>98553194No. You are.He doesn't want to become a "daemon prince". The image you posted has him horrified at what he saw, and his men are being influenced by.You didn't read the Arks of Omen book right, or are you that illiterate?The desperate plan after Aun'Va refused him was to cause the Great Star Dais to spew the "Molecites" so it would become a three-way where his enemies destroy each other.
>>98553212You can't even spell canon correctly. You can't even read the snippets you posted; you disgrace of an anon.
Fun to play. Fun to paint. Fun to daydream up details about.Simple as.
>>98553020>Siding with the Tau is only feasible if you decide to wear blinders about the scale of the setting.Siding with the Tau is the only feasible choice if you're aware of the scale of the setting. The Tau are able to pump out Space Marine-tier weapons on a scale that the Imperium never could. They are actively expanding while the Imperium is actively retracting. Every Tau world is producing the same power-projection of over 100 Imperium worlds combined. The Tau winning is the only scenario where humanity survives.
>>98553876Chaos, Tyranids, & Necrons are the big problems though. Tau could theoretically find a way to deal with orks but they're not immune to chaos. Just lower priority.
>>98553999>Chaos, Tyranids, & Necrons are the big problems thoughYes, and they are all problems the Imperium will be overwhelmed by. It's not a matter of if, but when.Now, it's obviously bad if the Imperium all collapses at once because while the Tau as a civilization is much better equipped to deal with these threats, they're still too small to handle all of them. But over time the Tau will continue to grow and absorb the Imperium's planets and then they will become strong enough to handle those threats. That is the best hope for humanity, humanity holds the line long enough for the Tau to take over.
>>98554018In the long run certainly but an inherent distrust in xenos for the space marines & the still second class citizenship towards humans at best is the biggest hurdle for both sides.
>>98534064I'm gonna start two new 40k threads a day every day indefinitely just because you're such an annoying faggot doing this all over the place. There's absolutely no rule that every discussion needs to be confined to a general. 40k is off-topic for the board, it's in fact the main reason the board exists.
>>98554265>off-topicOn-topic*
>>98554250That will certainly be an issue in the future, but for now 2nd class citizenship under the Tau is a hell of an upgrade to what humans get under the Imperium. Until the Imperium is no longer the primary alternative people won't complain too hard about it.
>>98554275True... Hard to really say being under Tau is worse if the status quo otherwise is working all day every day under slave conditions while eating recycled corpses.
>>98554265>>98554271Unironically it might be good for Warhammer 40k discussion here because /40kg/ has ban evading space wolf autist. He's been so persistent that his typing style is recognizable. That still doesn't mean one is safe from janny collateral damage. So it is better and safer from collateral banning to avoid the generals nowadays. I have pondered all warhammer threads confined to the general but after it became clear of ban evaders making jannies have to work harder I see a different view now.Anyways the autist you're responding to may be the "post models" autist who would go to 40k threads and ask for models to be posted. I thought he was an AI bot due to his persistence in this schtick and have posted some unpainted models. But I think this one made him crack:>starthttps://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/98502459/#98502992>endhttps://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/98502459/#98503815In the last archive link he admitted to being a dedicated thread policing troll and got slapped by a mod.This filtering general thing might be his new phrase to look more subtle. But it isn't a good or smart look for obvious reasons.
>>98534065You sound like youd be a fan of Broly, because his power is maximum and you sound like you just like whatever you perceive as the best/strongest
>>98534809That just sounds like more retarded Tauwank which they already get plenty of. They should get a civil war of renegade humans using Tau tech against them, that would be more entertaining so you could have human aligned Tau armies and non Tau aligned human armies still using Tau tech. Taufags are allergic to entertaining ideas tho because it threatens their idea that they are the good guys who dindu nuffin wrong ever
>>98554404It would make more sense for Farsight aligned Tau starting a civil war with both sides having humans.
>>98547920Rampant contrarianism will be the ultimate death of 4chan in general
>>98554436Probably, but more factions is fun. It feels like when people talk about Tau they ALWAYS bring up Farsight which gets boring fast. Add some more stuff to the setting rather than having the same guy be involved in everything
>>98554472Well to be fair, it's not like they've gotten much lore expansion & he's pretty much the only named Tau character who's going against the Ethereals agenda. I would like it see it all more expanded especially with minis for the other species of the empire.
Are there any significant Kroot books out there?
>>98555261There may be one in the works right now. Or not if the Kroots didn't sell well.
>>98555695How can they expect to sell models without cool stories attached to them?
>>98555754Gw can be very paradoxical in the way they handled things.My favorite is how they hyped up the ynnari eldar faction and had stories and then left them to rot.
>>98556064Well that one was over the books flopping. Blame Gav Thorpe.
>>98533856obviously, since they are the coolest 40k faction
>>98546436>how the fuck does a few billion humans create such a powerful minor warp entity within such a comparatively short timespanWhen humans spike high in the Warp, they spike HIGH. And there's a lot more of them. Humanity is just at the beginning of its awakening, the thing is that awakening happens over thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. The awakening has technically already begun. It began when the Age of Strife happened and psykers burst onto the scene. The past 10k-15k years since then is just the first few seconds of a mile long race.
So, what should T'au Psyker Auxilaries look like?
>>98556390Totally shrouded, like compilers.
>>98556390
>>98556390Why would they have an auxilliary when the Ethereal caste is already a potent psyker caste who dominate the minds of the rest of the T'au and quell the warp through indoctrination
>>98556390One of the auxiliaries that the Tau already has is a species of worms that use mind control. Maybe they could be used to explain the "how do the tau deal with human psykers" question by having worm-human pairings as combat psyker where the human provides the firepower and the worm prevents the human from going nuts by functioning as a living mental straightjacket (or as a killer if the psyker proves too unruly to control.) Maybe leave some ambiguity over whether this is a a mutual partnership or the worm is just piloting the human like a meat puppet. >>98534809>>98554404Maybe instead of focusing on the Tau goddess specifically, they could do something with her worshipers instead. She was created by the faith of auxiliaries, but after witnessing a few miracles attributed to her an increasing amount of Tau start following the religion as well. This is unacceptable to their superiors, so they have to try to hide their beliefs because if they are exposed they will get reeducated if not disappeared outright. There could be cases where entire planets of Tau are converted and it is too many to get rid of without notice, so the Empire has no choice but to publicly condemn them and send forces to bring them to heel forcing a conflict to break out when the converted planet has to defend itself. The idea was based off stuff like Christians having to hide their beliefs in places like North Korean or China and a story I read where some guevesa where fighting for the Tau only to get "saved" and then killed by them because they still believed in machine spirits and such so their beliefs were "poisoning" the philosophy of the Greater Good according to their killers. It could also provide conflict with xenophobic Tau created by the 4th expansion fiasco, xenophile Tau created by a religion that depends on the faith of non-tau to provide life for their new goddess, and the empire trying to maintain order with these two factions within it.
>>98535623>Imperial vehiclesi assume the machine spirits wouldnt comply>>98553202tau have a sniper drone thing doing that role
>>98554436>It would make more sense for Farsight aligned Tau starting a civil war with both sides having humans.This is actually a cool concept. Espescially if it starts with Farsight using Gue'vesa and them becoming corrupted, parts of those humans splintering off as insurrectionist cells, a real quagmire for the 5th sphere to tie into their NATO late 20th early 21st century imperialism themes.
>>98534065You talk like a fandom refugee. So which one was it? Trek or Wars?
>>98556957Having the beginnings of underground worship of a goddess of the greater good be very similar to the early underground worship of the emperor as a god and the lecto divinicus would be a great >just as planned Tzeentchian move.
