@@theapollostudio It’s not just a bullet, though, it was a fusion blaster, which is a melta weapon. It is like shooting the plasma outputed from a nuclear fusion reactor at the bomb.
We meme and mock it but unfortunately it's just what content creators have to do to skirt past the algorithms being buttholes about it- use different and/or juvenile sounding terminology or the platform buries your video.
Tau A.I? Interesting, let's see if that lead us to a new men of iron uprising, or on the contrary a reconciliation between mankind and the "silica animus".
For some reason, I think the Tau ai would be more successful in killing their masters then the men of iron, also less likely, but would be more successful.
Honestly, i don't see it happening because both the Tau and the Leagues of Votann treat their Ai colleagues with a lot of courtesy and affection. If anything, it makes you wonder how poorly humans treated their Ai life forms to have them rebel like that.
It sounds more like “you are a failure of a leader and are now having to resort to the weapon of last resort to cover up your shame and failure, you shall burn in place of the world you tried to destroy”
@@cpt.psychosis3439 People call characters they don't like mary sues but characters they do "badass" and "heroes" when in reality, warhammer has plenty of characters with plot armor.
@@Significantpower Thats not how that works. He beamed his data back before his destruction. Every time he "dies" some data is lost, he's currently at 10.0 and is not recommended to fight any longer at the risk of becoming a mindless AI.
The scar lords chapter survived but only a hand full got away (this is just so folks who play or may play scar lords dont have to say they are a diffrrny chapter then the one in the books)
I think this chapter would be safe to kill. Despite showing up in a few tau books and short stories, I have never seen any fan art or any one posting a scar lord mini pic online.
@Jack-0-lantern while it may not have many if any fans it doesn't hurt to keep them in play if they get a fan who wants to play the scar lords. Even the most well know chapters that have been wiped out have been remade such as the soul drinkers and alstral knights have new chapters. It doesn't hurt to keep minor chapters alive or ambiguous of their fate.
@@technomancer0712 Not really, its more complicated than just that. TLDR is the ethereals used it as an excuse to get rid of a lot of troublemakers in the empire, farsight included who already was on bad terms with Aun'Va for lying to him about Sha'vastos. They dont like it when they dont have 100% control over someone.
Presumably it's built such that excessive damage can force a detonation, that way if its normal detonation procedure fails, you could just hit it with some shots or explosives. Or because the Imperium is so backwards, they don't even know how (or if) they can disarm the bomb.
It's 40k the Imperials didn't even know what nukes were yet used thousands of them on Krieg. Tbf they probably don't know how to disarm the weapons or they had no disarming sequence
i assume they armed it before putting it the tube, so they must have been really close to the launch, and the thickness of armor can explain why it's not remote activated
Think it depends of weapon or method, dont know enough about it but i would suspect virus bombs might be more unstable because they have a biological element
Exterminatus is more art than science. Everyone has their own unique tools for the job. From what it sounds like this chapter's bomb was some hand-me-down dating back to Emperor knows when.
What? They take L's all the time, bruh. Have you forgotten The Lamenters? Their entire deal is taking them. Black Templars also lose fairly often, mostly because they get into the most engagements of any Chapter. Remember, never argue with 40k fans, they don't actually read the lore/play the games
@@chaosdude0878 that’s totally fine man. Seriously though there is a long list of times space marines got bodied. It’s just that a big chunk of lore is written from the imperium’s PoV, and a big chunk of that is from space marine PoV.
@@loganb7059 While there is a long list of marines taking Ls, I think there's an even bigger list of them taking Ws (the guy before you talked about how the templars lose a lot, they do lose but they win even more) and in many cases not deserved, like the time a single chapter destroyed a craftworld because of course they can do that or the time a deathwatch team disrupted the single most important eldar ritual to date because other xeno races can't have books or conflicts the space marines don't take a part in or the time the space wolves won against the inquisition, etc. My point is, the marines may take loses every now and then but they have the BEST trackrecord out of everyone in 40k even when they realistically shouldn't (30ks another thing) and it kind of irks me when marine players or enjoyers try to downplay that fact, I love me some marines but damn if the favoritism from GW isn't apparent.
@@agentc7020 you need glasses, bud? Because I thought I had all that covered with “a big chunk is from space marine PoV” meaning you’re going to see more overall Ws than Ls. Just l like how the Eldar get barely any wins because they have very few PoV works.
Farsight suffers the curse of being the only popular Tau character He has insane amounts of plot armor because he has to be badass otherwise the tau will fall off
I just read this book they wrote the Scar Lords as so incompetent and unlucky it was dumb and poorly done. Great book but they made an entire Second Founding Space Marine Chapter look like a poorly trained PDF.
this is what people feel when any unnamed space marine beats the avatar of khaine, hive tyrant, eldar farseer, greater demon, brood lord, demon prince, chaos lord, swarm lord, ork warboss, necron anything- etc
Have Tau ever had a meaningful loss? The more I read about their lore, the more it seems to me that they are on a constant winning streak. And Farsight looks like the only named WH40K character that has never had a single loss. And now they have even a Greater Good Deity, so I expect to see soon psychers in their ranks.
Another story where an Exterminatus just comes out of nowhere. I hate that. These things are rare and only happen under really REALLY bad circumstances. Like when a demonworld is about to happen or Tyranids could resupply and spread into the entire sector. Losing a planet to the Tau is no reason to do this. You can easily come back later and try again. Also a chapter master alone cannot decide that. He would need to consult some higher ups. But now everyone has a simple shell that can do the job on the fly. That leads the Exterminatus ad absurdum.
makes total sense that the single ai controlled stealth battlesuit can bypass all of the sensors and defences of a battle barge and its automata, find the correct torpedo tube out of the dozens on board and be able to fire his blaster and hit the thing in such a way to cause it to catastrophically explode. Ahem the plot armour is thick with this one.
The Tau and the Leagues both use fully autonomous AI, and because they actually treat them like people (and bother to give people rights), they don't rebel. Theoretically the Imperium uses massive amounts of AI with the machine spirits, but that's not outright confirmed. Also, they're a hell of a lot less autonomous.
@@Ropetrick6 Imperial Machine spirits can sometimes be beyond normal AI, but that's restricted to very powerful machine spirits. All of the power machine spirits are for ancient relic technology, so might just be DAOT AI's.
While all the Tau drones has an AI, they have limited capabilities. Oblotai is a brain scan of Tau warrior, with full self-awarness and freedom of will, like your regular person. Also, he has a decent sense of humor.
even the regular drones arent that bad off, the have names and a level of identity, even if they have certain protocols and programming they have to obey such as protecting their tau above all else etc
How old is Farsight now? I thought Tau got short lifespan compare to ordinary human, it seems Farsight live from end of 41st millennium till 42k and still kicking.
One of these days, Tau will know why the entire faction of this world uses soul and flesh to power their machine. Second coming of Men on Iron from Tau would be absolutely gorgeous.
People say this all the time but have you ever considered that maybe the Imperium is the problem and not AI itself? The Imperium is the only faction who's ever had an AI rebellion, the Tau, Necrons and Votaan are all sitting pretty with their AI.
@@anthonyrodriguez8788Humans at their peak had an AI rebellion, not the imperium, as AI can be corrupted by chaos and will ALWAYS see itself as superior to everything eventually
@@Goblinhandler dude if Chaos could corrupt AI then the Tau and especially the Votaan would have had AI rebbelions by now when the forces of Chaos attacked or when the eye of terror opened up wide. this is just a human skill issue.
Wow tau empire can get smarter than before. The imperial of man and space marine really have hard time to beat tau empire. Never underestimate tau empire strength 👍💪
These are the Scar Lords not White Scars. Scar Lords main stand out feature was being almost totally covered in scars either from battle or ritual scarring.
@@kyusyn2765 The Men of Iron had unprotected souls making them very suseptable and vulnerable to chaos taint and influence. Which was the first major event where chaos activly attacked humanity. Destroying modern society leaving them vulnerable to falling back to worshiping gods and deitys.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@kyusyn2765 "Living Kaos" Is chaos taint that effects living constructs basicly. Gaunts Ghosts brings it up and another couple of books that cover it more. But try reading Gaunts Ghosts book 2 or 3? I forget the one where he destroyes the STC for the men of iron because it had become corrupted and the awakend MOI Howled in revulsion at the twisted abomanations coming off the assembly line.
so when is tau gonna learn the reason why there is no AI in the galaxy. or is it just gonna be another continuity error. "oh the Imperium cant make AI cos its evil, but xenos can because reasons." fucking GW
The Votann also use AI. The Eldar also kinda use psychic AI, PI if you will. It is a uniquely human skill issue, this has been true since the T’au were introduced, and reinforced with the Votann.
@@KossolaxtheForesworn The Imperium doesn't even treat its own citizens like people, which had caused numerous rebellions by itself. When AI would be treated even worse, of course they'd rebel. Everybody else, on the other hand, twnd to be better in this regard which, in turn, makes there be no reason to rebel on the first place
This doesn't even make sense how could a tiny little impact from a tau weapon melt through what is most likely hundreds of feet of metal? Sounds like filthy xenos propaganda to me
I really hate the Tau. They're a shit to play against, and their lore sucks absolute ass. I would've rather had Space Skaven, Lizardmen or abhumans instead of inventing an entirely new faction in an attempt to attract gunpla fans. Which failed because most gunpla are cheaper for large models and don't require paint or glue.
