How Did the Galaxy React to the Rise of the Tau? | Warhammer 40k Lore 

@majorkill can you do a video about hybrid humans? Life half humans and elves?

Mate just play Britons in skyrim

@majorkill look at Jonathans video idea c:

Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.

I'm once again asking for a proper lore video on the Lord of iron and possibly a theory crafting video on him. Since you have mentioned your theory a few times yet, you have never committed to video and I think it would be very interesting to show a other side to chaos

Not even close. US was a humming war machine throwing out new literally every week. Imperium is not a humming war machine but far worst. They are stale living off what was which was pretty amazing. Proof of this is the Tau finding titans older than their whole society.

To be fair, the Tau has to plateau at some point or at least reach NEcron levels of BS tech and we all know the latter is never happening

The Imperium has better technology than the Tao but they also use worse technology than the Tau, which makes your analogue spot on, also better mention that the Imperium is 1000 times bigger than the Tau empire 😮 which means with worp travel they could if wanted show up in the hart of their empire and wipe them out from orbit.

@@alexanerose4820 when you get bigger you get more attention, and the change of ways followers not mentioned in the video is already working to bring them down.

The Tau being an emerging force and still able to garner this much attention is kinda worrying considering the Imperium, while vast, is kinda trapped in multitude forms of stagnancy and decline DISCLAIMER : Only spoken as someone who didn't follow the lore too much ofc.

Yus

Keep at it,brother

YES, WE NEED TO KNOW HOW FULGRIM DOES

ANGRON KEEP IT GOING GORILLA ATTACK !!!!!!! 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍

Oh yo yeah this

Good ale. Pretty ladies. Nice in summer, sucks ass in winter.

It's like Luxemburg. Some people have heard of Luxemburg, but who the hell cares about Luxemburg except for people from Luxemburg.

​@@RJALEXANDER777lol

​@@RJALEXANDER777people who work there. I swear that place gains like a 5th of its population in daily commutes.

​@@RJALEXANDER777dude you haven't seen Luxemburg's gundams

No wonder, considering Tau only have 4 fingers.

"Gud an' bad ta be fightin' dem panzy blue boyz. Dey be sneaky, panzy gits which leg it when ya try ta chop 'em. But dem dakka uv theirs be proppa dakka ta be sure!"

@@RJALEXANDER777 they do got that gun vibe check

@@RJALEXANDER777 i read that far faster than i am comfortable with

@@parkourcracker3984 worse .. I understood it directly.

Wait, does that mean those Battlefleet Gothic ships are canon?

This is probably the most fun-killing fact in the lore.

​@@RJALEXANDER777yes it's very cool hearing the dialogue

​@@RJALEXANDER777What battlfleet gothic ships?

@@catodes1295 The Demiurg Fortress and Bastion, present in both BFG:Armada games

The Waaagh field grows more powerful the more Orks are about. So with a small lot it just greases the gears of their tech a bit, it's only the biggest Waaaghs that see physics start being outright ignored and boyz pulling shenanigans like firing from empty guns.

Yeah, with bolter rounds.

LOL. I was totally expecting that to happen. But clubbing the Tau to death with their guns was funny af too. 😂

Is the waaag some sort of group telekinetic power.

@@sidesaddleintobattle4984 Yes, most races in the galaxy have the potential to develop some sort of psychic (it's really magic) power, but the orks are a bit different. Every ork passively develops a week psychic field called the waaag, the more orks there are the more powerful it is. The way it works is if you get enough orks together in one place believing the same thing than that thing becomes a reality. The most obvious commonly used example is orks believe red things go faster, so if an ork paints something red it will actually go slightly faster. This is the basis for all ork technology, or lack their of. Nothing an ork makes actually works, but every ork believes it will. A general rule of thumb for this setting I came up with is the antithesis to logic principle of 40K which states the less sence it makes in real life the more effective it would be in 40K. That's why the Tau are confined to one small corner of space and the orks are the most numerous faction in the galaxy (besides the tytanids, but they're from outside the galaxy.) That's why humanity is simultaneously the strongest faction in the galaxy and has countless points of failure that could cause it to collapse at any moment. That's why chaos, despite it's many, many, many, MANY, shortcomings is the biggest threat to the galaxy. And the orks are the embodiment of this rule.

Tau: "Thaaank you".

The only way to make the Tau grimdark.

I dont see much of a point they already have other tau rebelling(farsight)

The for that to happen the tau a.i should learn how the e metiruim works..the moment he does he will understand the only way to protect its self against it is to destroy its food source..us

Well the Imperium would get traumatized since they themself experienced their very own A.I nightmare still clinging in the back of their minds. The Necrons might not give a damn but the Imperium would surely go exterminatus mode out of fear on the Tau then OR let them wipe themself out.

AI can be warp corrupted, so that is a possibility.

Tau are suddenly immune to Genestealers too now? Boooooooooo.

@@danielbob2628genestealers have a hard time brainwashing the masses when the eternal Caste is constantly doing already.

@@danielbob2628 doesn’t really matter because the Tau are starting to genocide humans and kroot and will continue until they can stop the greater good god from existing. A lord of order.

​@danielbob2628 not immune, but they have find ways to detect the infection and prevent it from growing. In general most of the factions other than the Imperiu. have a much easier time dealing with GSC

@_NIKOS9_NIKOS Yeah, the Tau aren't technically immune to Titans either, but they've fought them more than half a dozen times and never lost. Besides, the other factions have more believable and innate reasons for being immune. They also wouldn't really have any additional story potential if they weren't. Tau had the opportunity to be interesting here, and the writers once again rejected it.

THIS IS NOT FUCKING CANON

Pervert !

He used the hole on her head a little bit too much as well.

​@@shailennanu5491💀

@@shailennanu5491 please keep the 40k rule 34 in the same pit where we keep squad broken and others like it.

Too bad humans are not allowed to pilot the best suits.

Also you get to live longer than the rest of the Imperium. Despite the fact you ether get conscripted in to the guard or work in the factories till you die.

I'd leverage my knowledge of today's world and have the Mechanicus turn me into a pseudo Steel Confessor. I'm 23 so the full Astartes glow up is impossible, but I can go the Erebus route. Then I'd make a request to join the Salamanders.

​@@alastor8091Fuck Erabus!

Lots of the imperial worlds are roughly earth equivalent, and just the worse or the most important ones are shown. Think valiant post imperial occupation, but before industrialization went into full swing.

That would require something past wiki reading.

Sounds like Tzeentch believes in the philosophy of the greater good.

@@RJALEXANDER777 Tzeentch is the greater good

@@gameid4646 just as planned.

@@RJALEXANDER777 More Tzeentch believes in Tzeentch is bored fighting the same three dullards he constantly has to throw the match to not be left without anything to do. Something like Tauva at least offers a new challenge.

Wtf!?!?! The Emperor would never do this!!!! I'm literally shaking and crying right now. ε/̵͇̿̿/’̿’̿ ̿(◡︵◡)

Are we talking about the same Emperor here ? .. He totally would. That Goldfish is a weakness. .. also what is the name of the comic ?

​@@alastor8091So was Horus as he flushed the goldfish

Yeah, that would be cool.

Better idea: how each person who comments this would react to Majorkill making the video.

I'd watch that anime.

Whoop Nevermind. There he is!

I have a theory that the advancement of the tau was deliberately caused by Tzeentch intervention. He was sick of the fighting by the humans and chaos and wanted something to replace humans to fight.

You guys both missed the fact that they have small souls, they cannot influence the warp and the warp cannot influence them.

Tzneetch is empowered by Technology? Wasn't that Vashtorr?

@@aleanddragonITA Directly from the wiki: "Tzeentch is the Chaos God of change, evolution, mutation, intrigue, ambition, knowledge, sorcery, destiny, lies and trickery. Tzeentch is especially empowered by the desire for change and ambition for advancement among mortals."

​@jaroffermentedsemen4901 The warp definitely can influence them Farsight was nearly Corrupted by Khorne, A water caste got possessed by a daemon, are some of the examples

Its pretty much stated that only bringing the galaxy into order would do that, hence why they orchestrated the horus heresy to begin with

Eyyy fellow T’au collector

@@oscarandreas1431 hey

Now that's an idea! Love it

Angron "Needs butchers nails" Fulgrim we don't need to know, I hear he loves em blad

I also think that's an interesting subject. He's a regular Astartes that is commanding the largest Chaos mortal force in the galaxy. Wouldn't Mortarian and Fulgrim resent him? It doesn't seem like Angron cares too much about politics though.

Well it is possible as there is at least a subfaction of Necrons who regret turning themselves into machines, thus its possible some of the tried to regenesis their race, hoping a homeworld that didn't suck would lead to Take 2 figuring out how to save them from their self imposed hell.

Its very deep lore, but there us one, its called:"LEAVE THE FUCKING PLACE, NOW!"

Get the f*ck out seems pretty viable ngl

Basically embrace the Tau mobile line philosophy and repack the colony to move elsewhere.

(it is occasionally stated in the deep fluff Khorne attempts to scoop up Kroot warspheres, which are psychically piloted, and some warspheres are glorified knarloc farms).

it is also newer than all the previous T'au codicies.

@@555tork The first mention was in the 4th ed ork codex, so it's definitely not newer than *all* of them XD

@@intboom fair enough haven't read that codex so didn't know it was in there.

@@555tork I do quite like that they've integrated this lore into arks of omen, making it big tier canon

@@intboom that's my first hearing about it as well but I do like that it is being based on a previous piece of lore.

Trusting an Eldar is the last mistake you'll make. The T'au are no fools.

Because as a species as a whole the Eldar are depressed fatalists that think no matter what they do their doomed, so why bother allying with the hopeful young race.

Going on your experiment I say lion. Based on his primarch aura alone. He'd win any battle he took the field slowing the enemet marines down.

@@playtoyx Horus was very charismatic as well and a top notch tactician. The Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists would probably build a huge fortress each and dare anyone to dislodge them, probably right in front of each other to siege one another like a power armor version of Hatfields & McCoys. Alpha Legion would probably be near impossible to wipe out, same for the Raven Guard and Night Lords, who would go into endless guerilla warfare. Guilliman would be near impossible to outlast simply due to logistics. The other legions would be defeated by one or another, but these in particular would probably never fully defeat each other.

Barring silenced, Perturabo, Lion, the Khan, or Corvus. Conrad and Guiliman are too iffy.

Corvus would ass ass inate all his brothers and then proceed to tell everyone that he is in fact Alpharius.

Pre-heresy? Thousand Sons. 100%. Just too many tactical options. Plus, took all the Wolves, Russ, a bunch of SoS, and Custodes (including the Captain General) to beat the Thousand Sons WITHOUT MAGNUS. The wolves are also called out in the lore as the Emperors executioners, so even beating just them is no joke.

Put them in Gundam Witch so we can see extreme Communism versus extreme Capitalism and we can also have cute blue guys to go with our cute red Tanuki.

Depends on which stage of the emperor we are talking about. There was a time the emperor was pretty open to alliances such as that. He was friends with Eldrad at one point and learned much from the eldar. But eventually, by the time of the great crusade, he had a very strong humanity first stance, and wished to scour the galaxy of all xenos regardless of how useful or friendly they might be. The most the tau could hope for under those circumstances was the emperor letting them stay as sanctioned xenos. But that again depends on if the tau can suppress their expansionist ideologies. Now though? Sitting on the throne as living corpse for 10000 years with so much hindsight and an even greater picture of how things are all over the galaxy? Maybe he'd reconsider his whole "Humanity first" stance. Or maybe not. Who knows.

Given the Tau have birthed their own Warp God, they'd likely receive the same disdain he showed the old terra religions, since the idiot doesn't get a warp entity that protects your people is a good thing, especially since that puts somebody in the way to siphon off the power that would normally empower the Big 4 Chaos Gods.

Possible, or its also possible on an instinctual level Orks realize they need foes who aren't stagnant to become bigger and better and more like the orks of old.

Their battle suits are cool, but I like their stealth suits better aesthetically.

"Commander Farsight, we noted an 11% increase in flight speed and hydraulic performance in your prior battle against the Orks. We also recorded instances of, I quote, Orks claiming that "Da red wunz go fasta." What do you make of this nonsense?" "They might be onto something. Paint all our warriors in red before our next campaign. Immediately."

Well during the Great Crusade they were all treated well and were above the regular ship crew. My guess is the only exeption would be the Night Lords and World Eaters. The heresy changed a few things :D

that water caste member went with farsight and was killed.

Everyone needs a Guillimum ❤❤
