Commander Farsight | Warhammer 40,000 

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!

The Templin Institute Thank you. Would you be willing to do a video on the governance of the Farsight Enclaves?

I recommend doing a video on Darrow of Lykos in the future (please)

please do a video on Superman's regime from injustice

Commisar Yarrick Setra the Imperishable Thanos Mother fucking Solas from Dragon Age Imhotep from the Mummy

he isn't decent ,he just have superior heretic teck

JAKphoenixify Farsight and Shadowsun... ship?

You know the 40K 1st rule of combat? Carry a sharp blade, shout louder than an Ork and you may become bullet proof. Otherwise grab a bomb for you are already dead.

Because refusing to engage in glorious melee is ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL

Yea, but when they first introduced 'Fission Blades', I was in awe! - now that is a battle suit weapon, dual Fission Blaster & Close Combat weapon, most awsome.

Sounds like the Tau equivalent of Julius Cæsar.

The way they portray the issues between him and the Tau government i would say he's more of a Hannibal Barca

Farsight is no Horus!

@@fumarc4501 Farsight is the anti-Horace

It's a little hard to do when you are part of a species where your warrior caste somewhat physically weaker individually than a normal human.

You didn't really forget the great Aun'Shi, did you?

The Eldar are also a bunch of frail fuckers and even they can melee.

Those were some lousy orks.

Eloi Duarte Villanueva Eldars have Surnatural réflexes that permit them to be way faster than the human eye (except Astartes)

Cosmin Bănică hey, don’t quote me

Captain-general Kitten Sorry

Cosmin Bănică it’s nothing.

Yeah especially don't mention anything about any female Tau and how they love the 'greater good'.

Captain-General Kitten Still upset about Shadowsun dumping you, eh?

Lmao

It's 40k, the place where trench warfare is supposedly still completely viable despite it being the 41st millennium. Not surprising at all.

Mitchell Sidebottom I didn't really say that trench warfare isn't a viable method these days. Yes, it can be used to great effect at times. However, what I mean is that it is not a primary strategy in warfare. World War I showed us the potential bad sides of Trench Warfare. The entire thing was essentially one big war of attrition. Yes, trenches can be useful, but they should not be a commonly used tactic.

Mitchell Sidebottom Admittedly, even though in like every single piece of official art or fanart it shows the Imperial Guard using trenches, it's not actually as widespread as it seems. The main ones who use it are probably the Mordians and the Death Korps of Krieg. The Kriegers basically want to die, so it makes sense. However, other IG Regiments don't practice it as much. The Cadians are pretty competent when it comes to tactics. The Armageddon Steel Legion focuses a lot on using a combination of heavy vehicles and artillery alongside infantry. The Catachan Jungle Fighters focus on guerilla warfare.

Downrange Cash2 u must be new to 40k...even a homeless person with a stick can beat a tau in melee...and these are orks boi

"Horus was weak! Horus was a, fool!" -Abbadon the Despoiler

The Nameless Scholar *Abbadon proceeds to fail to take Cadia 12 time over despite having a near limitless supply of daemons and chaos space marines that were the best of the best at a time when primarchs existed so he just Death Stars the planet rather than taking it like a chad and his model is also old and it’s arms are constantly falling off to the point some people would murder their wallet for a Horus model and then put the abbadon Mohawk on him*

@@alizard7617 Basically.

FARSIGHT IS NOTHING LIKE FUKKING HORUS!

A Lizard as much as I hate Abbadon it’s more likely (because time in the warp is convoluted) that when they return to the warp they don’t see time pass so it’s just one continuous black crusade.

Well he found it raiding some Chaos planet, and it feeds on the souls that it kills, so yes, absolutely.

"Arthas Moloch" - Get it?

@@TheFlyingSailorYT I don't think Khaine was too into eating souls.

@@leewilcox1500 There is no mention of it feeding on souls. Secondly the artifacts all drove deamons away.

@@PantheraLeoKing You're actually right about it not eating souls. It's stealing life force, so that was a mistake on my part. It's definitely a xeno blade.

Then he ought to have painted it purple so they wouldn't see him.

@@SephirothRyu some type of camo pattern consisting of red purple and green the orcs wouldn't have the slightest idea what that thing is only that it's a fast invisible green orc thing 🤣

3 times faster, a red comet

...holy shit that might actually work

@@KeenMean0079 Considering that Farsight is considered a Char Clone, this makes perfect sense.

Are you a tomboy?

Are the @@jyankyleardillomangubat9842

Yes. In the new lore he always was doubtful of the ethereals, something that’s basically heresy for the tau, so they forced him to kill puretide, which pretty much fostered hatered . Also after witnessing daemons for the first time he realized the Ethereals completely fucked him over.

Yea he was living as a hermit but then the world he was on got attacked by Tyranids, so he threw on the battlesuit and reestablished his command. His goal during that engagement was to defend a group of scientist while they developed a neurotoxin that would destroy the Tyranid threat. The facility he was defending was overrun and only he and a scientist were able to escape the planet. However, looking back at the planet and the Tyranid fleet it soon became obvious that the neurotoxin was completed and the Tyranids along with their ships became consumed by it and destroyed. What ended up happening was that the scientists had completed the neurotoxin and injected themselves with it, ultimately allowing the Tyranids that overran their facility to consume them and spread the Neurotoxin. Through the sacrifice of the scientists the previously disillusioned Commander Farsight finally saw the true "Greater Good". He came back to lead the Farsight Enclaves and retook that planet, building new cities named after the scientist who gave their lives to obliterate the Tyranid threat and allow the world to remain a part of the Farsight Enclaves. With his heretical sword sapping life energy from the foes slated by it and prolonging his own life, Farsight has already been around for something like 300 years. Their isn't an imposter, Farsight is just a beast who actually engages in glorious melee combat in his Gundam. I'm sure as he continues using his Daemon-sword he'll continue being a huge part of the lore for the better part of a Millennium. Dude could be around for even longer than that as long as he keeps using that blade. Also he is potentially a latent psyker, which is extremely interesting, given that as far as I am concerned the Tau do not possess a presence in the warp. That would make Commander Farsight the greatest Tau ever and the most different. Melee and Psyker piloting a Gundam which kills foes with a Daemonblade, the dude is an absolute beast and mad lad. I am looking forward to more Farsight lore. I am glad his faction has split from the Ethereals and greater Tau empire, I might get into the tabletop simply because of his lore and being able to play a Gundam which uses melee. Awesome!

*Obligatory comment about Rimmy existing*

Synystr7 don’t forget his Hindsight Hounds: Coulda, Woulda, and Shoulda

My man just described the myth of Prometheus and Epimetheus in one sentence

LmAo

How do you know about him!?

I know that guy, he was always crap at capture the flag

Alfa WF i wish they made one.

Hyperion Yeah. It'd be glorious.

Top 10 anime betrayals

YOUUUUU HHHHEREEEETIIICCCC!!!!

BESIDES, WE HAVE COMICS!!!

At least he had the common sense to not spark a full on rebellion that would have snuffed out any hope for the Tau. Choosing instead self imposed exile and creating something for others to emulate. The Farsight Enclaves proved the Ethereals wrong and right. That the Tau can still prosper without Ethereal leadership and are still the reason they’re unite, but against the Ethereals. Ironic, no?

It's definitely on the list!

Looking forward to it!

I can't wait! May the Greater Good light your way.

@@TemplinInstitute oh yes please i'll love to see that

Another one to do is the Orcs, their Wagghh and especially their technology belief field and their past. I started PC gaming and just assumed they were regular orcs in space, and was surprised to learn they are nothing like that.

Rising Horizon Gaming there’s a pile of bl books at your house and you know it.

Rising Horizon Gaming not even Chaos likes your level of heresy ;)

SEARCH IT UP? YOU CANNOT SEARCH THE GOD EMPEROR! REPENT HERETIC!!! REEEEPPPEEEEEENNNTTTTTTT!!!

I don’t care for the game or minis but the books & fluff are awesome

I agree but some of the video games are pretty fun tho

SJon Umber Now that's a dead meme.

Blood Raven yes!!!!!!!!!!

Blood Raven That would be something worth seeing.

Blood Raven DA 'UMMIE BOSS

Oh how wonderful now we have orks here. COME SPACE MARINES, ATTACK!

He doesn't see himself as an enemy but the Ethereals most certainly do.

the templin videos are always from the perspective of the universe not the perspective a reader has. The wider tau empire doest know much of his intentions

Well said Monk, fucking spot on mate

Commander Farsight is no Horus!

@Cian McCabe no. A revolutionary at worst and political and perhaps biological evolutionist. He wants the Tau to succeed without the ethereals, not without any governance at all. Big difference. Anarchists want no government whatsoever.

Yes

"You're a blue-skinned red-eyed alien who cares for his troops and is a master of strategy? What a coincidence!"

@@giantslayer9335 Commander Farsight is the Warhammer equivalent of Grand Admiral Thrawn, & I absolutely love it! 😅

Absolutly!

Magnificently spoken, my Sultan.

Like your hat, you are amazing.

Suleiman The Magnificent than I suggest perhaps Slaanesh

Smells like heresy over here

Did you forget Aun'Shi?

Rob DC and the Kroot

You mean the not only great melee combatant of the Tau Species, but actually is pretty decent on a galactic scale?

Not all Ethereals are corrupt. Some are badass and just want peace.

Necrons

@Veteran Legionnaire why tho

Commissar Cain the closest thing to Blackadder in space we will ever get.

He's basically Big Boss

Megaguy43 I was going to use a pretentious historical analogy but yes.

In the end, yes, Farsight betrayed the Ethereals. And it has surely something to do with that attack on a chaos world. Maybe he turned to chaos, or maybe he just understood that the Greater Good was a lie.

Daemoniaque you could argue they betrayed him when they sent him to a part of the galaxy full of chaos stuff without giving him a heads up. It’s pretty clear if you read crisis of faith that the people sent on the 4th sphere expansion were meant to die. Basically management hates him but he won’t get fired because he’s amazing at his job. Also the reason farsight doesn’t is because he’s got a magic sword

@@daemoniaque6640 on the chaos planet arthas molok , upon touching the xeno blade , he was shown a vision of hell , tau citizens wearing chains march in a line getting devoured by giant etherials while wearing smiles on their faces , it points to the fact that their is a deep connection between etherials and chaos or immaterium , especially etherials psychic powers with which they control tau society.

Can it also do the char kick?

Tau have bad eyes sight because that they can mele. And because that etherial used escuses that mele ara barbaric

So close, yet so far :(

HERESY

*sniff* *sniff* do you smell that tech priest? Smells like Heresy!

I'm from Stygies VIII, you meatbag!

Random Techpriest still, your capital is on Mars so it would’ve crippled your civilization if we Exterminatus Mars.

You'd also be be killing the heart of industry and the Imperium's entire manufacturing capability

Thanks!

I want to see his reaction to Guilliman being the *son* of the Emperor and not the actual Emperor.

The local Tyranid hive fleet was deemed a more pressing matter.

Aun'shi the ethereal who fights in melee and is an aged badass, begs to differ.

Farsight and his legion are the most badass group in the entire WH40k universe imo.

O'shovah.

Brit'N'Birb that’s his name, not what he is.

I would love to see that!

Same

Mortarion seems to agree seeing as how he's now spreading that lovely crotch rot to the Tau.

ⰎⰋⰕⰜⰑⰓⰡⰁ225 I'm very proud of him.

I'm just waiting to see if my race was picked up or not...

Stellaris has no canon i gues

I think this is writen from the view of the Tau empire

Rob DC you spelled "FOR THE DARK GODS" wrong... Tzeentch is most upset with you.

PURGE THE SERB

REMOVE ALIJA

Greater Good*

Don't forget that they subjugate, and assimilate every sentient species they encounter through force. In fact, They even have eradicated a few species. I don't know much about the Jedi Order other than movies, but Tau are pretty much imperialists. Tau are far from being the good guys. Tau Empire is closer to Combine/Universal Union from Half-Life games than Jedi Order as a political entity

Slaanesh the Prince of Pleasure Considering the grimdarkness of the 40k universe, the Tau are probably the closest we'll get to 'good guys.'

Slaanesh the Prince of Pleasure The Jedi only waged 2 aggressive wars. One was against the Zygerians who were genocidal slavers and the other was the Force Wars against the first Rouge Jedi who were the ancestors of what would become the sith.

ttemicraft FTW nope, the closest thing to "good guys" in 40k are the tyrranids. Because they are true neutral and equal opportunity omnivores... litterally.

The Jedi use zealotry and propaganda as well and force dogmatic teachings on young babies

Joãoa Lourenço Affonso I srcond this also we want Ozai / Aang

Bet they will when the Netflix adaptation starts.

The difference being my guy could deny Chaos there bounty

TeutonicKnight92 I'd like to see them covering Emperor's Children, Thousand Sons and Iron Warriors.

Slaanesh the Prince of Pleasure Night Lords, Ave Dominus Nox

Monarchia shall be avenged.

The Empire or the Eye

A dossier on paul atredies would be awesome.

Chris Anaya Yes. Dossiers on Muad'dib, Kirk and the Emperor. I mentioned in the comment section of the video on Picard that they shouldn't forget to do one on Kirk.

For some reason I thought you were talking about kirk from dark souls.... I can still feel the role damage, KIRK... PLEASE... JUST STOP!!

Pls no Rowboat Girlyman. There are many more interesting characters than that cerulean mary sue.

How about Char Aznable instead? The blue print for Farsight?
