THE T'AU MEET THE DEATHGUARD! 

Every time the tau poke their head out of there pocket empire they're given a new reason to stay there.

In 40k the enemy of your enemy is your enemy.

Farsight taking a sip of coffee"I tried to warn them"

Why isn’t there a 40K film yet? 1. Because the wider mainstream audience is not ready for it. 2. Because Hollywood would find some way to mess it up.

Deathgaurd : farts Tau empire : dies

**Tau poke their heads out of the empire** **Witness the Tyranids, imperium, chaos, orks, necrons, Dark eldar, etc** **Tau slowly retreat back into the empire**

"Mutated corpses that literally just keep coming." Mate we're talking about Nurgle, not Slaanesh.

Farsight: So … how was fighting Chaos?

"Why haven't the enemy arrived yet" Memewhile in Ultramar: *ANGERY ROMAN NOISES*

Well the Tau seem to have left tutotial. Now they are in for it hehehe.

Fulgrim: I’m going to screw around with the blueberries Mortarion: can I join in?

The Tau are gonna learn the truth of the galaxy ... oh they gonna learn.

"You may have meet a space marine chapter before Shadow Sun, but you've never meet a Legion" That was spine tingling good!

Dear diary, vacationing in the Star Tide Nexus with papa. We met and infected lots of new blue friends on the way. I still miss Ultramar.

Legend has it that when the battle was at its most dire, Shadowsun thought of her Kitten and all of the time they shared...

Its always nice to see the Tau try to understand the insanity of the Galaxy they live in. I love that bit about Nurgle where they think he turned on the Death Guard.

"You may have meet a space marine chapter, but you've never met a legion" NOICE, had a chill when you said that

5th sphere expansion- Gee golly I'm so glad we can expand the reach of the Greater Good. Death Guard- Greetings mortals do you have a moment to spare in the name of the Plague Father?

"Despite losing, despite knowing she doesn't have a chance, she makes the stand anyway." and that is exactly what 40k is all about.

Deathguard: *Shows up* Tau: Holy balls what the hell are those abominations?! Space Marine: *sips recaff* Hmmm Tuesday already?

Tau: expand even further CHAOS: YOURE PLAYING WITH THE BIG BOYS NOW..... By the might of HORUS you will kneel before us...

Mortarion: Xenos, listen and listen well... With blistering speed Grandfather Nurgle sends his purulence greeings and wishes you to know that he loves you, with pustules heart, accept his loving rancid gift.

Hey Wolf Lord Rho, I am amazed and humbled by your treatment of my stories. You are doing a great job catching the atmosphere I'm going for, and I absolutely appreciate your work and how meaningful it is for the community. Thanks so much, keep it up!

Deathguard knocking at the T'au front door (with bolters): "Hello! May we talk to you about our Lord and Savior Nurgle?" T'au: big NOPE

Event Horizon could be considered a 40k prequel, if you want a movie in the vein of the beginning of the story.

Finally........the Imperium always has to deal with like literally everything, every threat and xenos. Let the blueberries take some of the load for once. Yeah I know, it's not exactly unheard of the xenos and/or chaos fight each other, just the Imperium seems to be the ones always having to do it. It's a wonder they have anything left.

6:31 This is literally like that meme you see in RU-vid comments: "Guys I paused the hologram but I can still hear the screaming,help!"

Typhus meets Shadowsun for the first time: You thought that it would be your precious Kitten that you would find here, but it was I......... Typhus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best scenes in 40k are ones where there no shots fired. Period.

I love Tau stories where they meet Chaos and the horrors that come with it.

I think when something like the deathguard comes at you and you don't go running screaming like a little girl to the hills then by default it just became 40k.

I love the horror stories that 40k has done. The atmosphere they build is great. My favorite so far has been the Perdition's Flame. That reveal at the end.....I never saw that coming.

I’m very curious to know if Roboute Guilliman knows of the Black Templar’s true numbers.

Ah the Death Guard, Shadowsun arm the Riptides with the flamers. The Heavy flamers.

I love Death Guard. I love how out of all the demon primarchs the only one that kept his sons together and actually grew in the Long War was Mortarion. The only reason he turned was to save his sons. Glad to see him kicking ass in 40k.

GREETINGS, ALIENS, WE ARE THE DEATHGUARD. WE ARE HERE TO GIVE YOU GIFTS FROM OUR GRANDFATHER! Sadly, you have refused it and it makes Grandfather sad. HERE LET US ENLIGHTEN YOU ABOUT PAPA NURGLE's KINDNESS!!

Well I'm sure the Captain General "Kitten" will be happy to hear about this 6:12 Need to find a Independent Studio, Hollywood cant handle it or be trusted

they've never meet a legion...

Finally Shadowsun meets a legion. Now she learns how outgunned the Tau really are.

I'm maybe sick, but I really cheered for the Deathguard here

It still could have been worse, Lucius and his merry men could have been the Tau's first taste of the Chaos Gods.

Hmm, maybe Mortarion will appear himself? That could be fun, or even to see a normal Primarch terrifying the Blueberries!

Always love it when the horrors of the universe gets described through the tau.

It would be interesting to see Commander Farsight fighting chaos. His sword lore wise is weaker than the Emperors sword, but it takes the life force of the thing it kills and gives it to farsight. So what happens when he kills a demon, greater unclean one, bloddthirster, or some other big bady.

For the Greater... Unclean One!

‘Where’s the Death Guard fleet?” Mort and bois: (immaterium rift opens) Déjà vu

The tension of having a fleet that could crush you being missing from it's anticipated destination? That's terror. A.G.

The Tau: “What the hell are those things?!” *screams of pain and terror in background* Death Guard: “Yay, friends! Here, have some gifts!”

40K would be a perfect setting for a series of sci-fi/horror films.

This story brings my favorite army the Deathguard to the Tau and made me fall in love with the Tau. I am now making a Tau army lead by Commander Shadowsun to go recreate this epic battle. .....Joooy

Rho, friends don’t let friends start Tau armies

Interesting point for me was the comment shadowsun makes about tau from 4th expansion committing atrocities...obviously this could be purely because of their traumas, but could it also be early signs of their corruption by chaos?

For me, the Tau are the closest thing you'll get to pre age of strife humanity. They have all the traits of them. A sense of egalitarianism (relatively), embracing of technology, AI, ect.

I like how the Tau call the Imperium's battle tactics and weapons primitive but keep being reminded that "less advanced =/=less lethal"

Poor, poor little ignorant blueberries.

I wonder what the Tau would make of the Thousand Sons. At a glance they look less weird and mutated than the Death Guard, but lots of psychic powers and automata would be weird for them. Also seeing that unvuln save at work would be funny too, I can imagine a battlesuit blasting away with weapons that can usually destroy a tank only for it to do nothing to infantry lol

The Tau are one of my favorite factions. Glad to see them getting some more fluff.

Shame they abandoned this story thread. I really like the T'au advancing in their understanding of the Galaxy.

i just love how clueless the tau are when it comes to the wider universe .... kind of cute

I really enjoy this channel. The fact that he sticks to the lore, but also adds his own opinions and theories on it makes it one of the best W40K channel around here. Thank you for providing such great content mate!

Closest thing to catachan is: predator 1. Imperial guard: Starship troopers 1 The warp: event horizon

There is a space marine movie and that youtuber Astartes made some short films that are absolutely amazing

"You may have met a space marine chapter before Shadowsun, but you've never met a Legion." I can honestly see any of the chaos/traitor legions saying that. Also, imagine if Mortarion decides to join to vent his frustration. I imagine it would go something like this… Shadowsun looked on as the horrifying abominations advancing towards her. For all the firepower they had, all the hits they took they would not stop moving. As if they were immune to damage. ‘What are these things’ she wondered to herself, ‘These tainted Gue’vesa?’ She would not get to ponder for long. For then a voice rang out… “XENOS!” All attention was turned to where the voice came from. And what they all saw stunned every Tau fighter present. It was a Gue’vesa. On of the tainted ones, but much more than that. It was enormous. At least 20 feet tall, with moth like wings, a torn cloak, massive scythe, clad in the green rustic infected style armor as the rest and, like many Gue’vesa, wore no head protection of any kind. It was reminiscent of the Astarte chapter master that the empire killed in the Damocles Gulf war. But the comparison didn’t do the being justice. It was as more that chapter master was to this being what a normal Astarte, or even basic Gue’vesa, was to a chapter master. In fact, in perhaps a in an ironic twist of both fate and history repeating, had it not been tainted and mutated she would have assumed that such a person could only be the Emperor the Imperials go on and on about. Just like with the Chapter Master all those years ago. But then the being spoken once more… “I am Mortarion! Primarch of the Death Guard, Champion of Nurgle, Lord of the 14th legion, and Son of the Emperor.” That last part caught Shadowsun’s attention. *Son* of the emperor? If this is his son, what was he like? “Rejoice, for your suffering and misery has come to a blissful end. For I spread upon you the gifts of the unholy grandfather himself.” As he spoke green mist spread out from his being and onto the closest front line combatants. They screamed in agony and pain all the while physically melting and turning to literal mush of meat and bones. Never in all her years had the commander see such a horror. “Do not cry” the gaint continued, “You not dying, it is merely the consequence of rejecting the Plague father’s embrace. Embrace Nurgle, join our family, embrace his love, accept his gifts, and Ypu will know no pain. No more suffering, no more loneliness, no more death. Only euphoria, acceptance, love, peace, and happiness. For Poppa Nurgle loves us all for who we are, and all you need to do is love him back and you too be part of a world of truly pure perfection.” Shadowsun was no fool. This “Mortarion” was a liar. His words may be honeyed and sweet, but his actions showed the truth. He was no herald of a benevolent god, but a reaper of souls. Shadowsun looked at her troops and saw a horrifying sight as some began to mutate into a similar forms as the invaders. They were weak willed and sought the easy way out. Turning their backs on the Greater Good. But to the Tau commander there was only one choice to make. Calmly, she rose her arm, aim her cannon at the Tainted Gue’vesa leader, and fired at him. "Never" she yelled, 'I will *never* lower myself! I am Shadowsun and I serve only the Greater Good!" The shot hit him square in the upper chest. And didn’t even register as a speed bump. “So you have chosen death” the one called Mortarion replied. “We offered you friendship and you spit in your face. Well then, let me enlighten you as to what happens to those who reject Nurgles gifts.” “I have faced your kind before, Human” Shadowsun said in Gothic. “I know how to face Astartes.” Mortarion just laughed. "You may have met a space marine chapter before Shadowsun” he said gleefully, “but you've never met a Legion."

Tau : Why does the Imperium of Man so barbaric and can't see reason ? *Meet Chaos* Tau : Oh, so that's why

I must say, that background music choice is haunting! I love it!

I've been working 14-16 hour days lately and for the last 3 hours I'm all by myself and your videos have been keeping me entertained the whole time I'm there.

you know what I like? When somebody stops telling a story to start explaining how great a story it is /s

Death Guard. We even make the tau look interesting. :)

Mate you're channel is the best 40k one about, the enthusiasm you have for this is infectious!!!

This makes me want to complete and play what I have of DG even more. I've got the forces from Dark Imperium and the general chaos units from the Dark Vengeance set.

What makes it even more captivating is your contagious and enchanting genuine enthusiasm!

Ugh I’ve been waiting so long for you to do this video. Feels like it’s been forever. I felt that the emotion shown by Shadowsun and the dire situation they built up was great. It’s too bad, that this wasn’t the theme of the story

What I want to see is a Tau battle force when it meets a Primarch. Either Traitor of loyalist. Imagine a Tau Water Cast trying to negotiate with Robute, or Leman...

Man the the space weebs are in for the ride of their lives.

They kinda did make a film along the lines of whats desribed in this passage. It is extremely similar to 40k with lawrence fishburne called event horizon, boarding a ship thats essentially capable of warp travel but with zero defenses against warp entities, its first warp jump causes havoc. Good film.

You are quickly becoming my favourite youtube channel. Your videos are brilliant, very immersive. Keep it up dude!

To the Imperium the Tau are basically mice scurrying in the dark. Yeah, they’re a problem but you don’t worry about mice in the basement when you have a crazed axe murder, skynet terminator, literal space locusts and homicidal fungi all killing each other and yourself in the living room. Meanwhile, the elder (both craftworld and dark) are the crows and vultures circling overhead and occasionally pecking your head.

The Sons Of Mortarion will Spread the many Gifts!

Recently found your channel and am now binge watching all your vids with ads (every little helps) great uploads pal ❤

Wow.. I got actual chills from the Great Unclean One bit.. the representation of daemons always were my favourite part of 40k stories, like mentions found in The First Heretic or Know No Fear. Also is the reason why Grey Knights are my fav faction. Thank you Wolf Lord!

It's all fun and games till hive fleet kronos busts into the place like Kool aid man

Is seems as Death Guard itself brought the surveillance drone and released it, to make Tau fear. "How did the drone manage to get here?" "This fleet should have already been here looking by the date of recording!" I guess they simply used warp to drop drone into that space and let the fear grow little by little.

Thank you for reading this, i was hoping that you would, i enjoy your spend on the way you read these short stories.

There are definitely some very cool xeno POV stories out there. There's a short novella callled Severed I read recently about Nemesor Zandrekh (necron don Quixote) and his best friend and bodygaurd Obyron that was excellent, and really focused on how the sentient necrons are coping with their (pretty horrible) existence.

Awesome listening to you as always Sir, I'm a dedicated tau fanatic so please don't sanction me. But if you think Shadow Sun is a badass, she pales in comparison to farsight. See Commander farsight from tactica imperialis I'm sure you'll love it. Keep up the great work, look forward to all your videos in the future.

Tau fleets have always been weak sauce against everything except tyranids. Something's gotta break for the Empire. AunVa is dead, replaced with an AI. There's something in the warp claiming the greater good. They're murdering their Gue'vesa in droves to cancel their psychic presence out of desperation and ignorance/refusal to acknowledge what the warp is. They're stretched too thin. Out too far; and the only one who knows what's really going on, Farsight, is possibly in danger of being corrupted by the warp. The Tau need the eldar to break shit down for them and give them a history lesson.

Read “The Buried Dagger” recently and it flipped me to a Mortarion fanboy. Definitely planning to build a Death Guard force as my first Chaos army. Great read up, Wolf 🤘

Can I just let you know how much I love your videos I listen to them on my drive to work

Or the god of the Greater Good doesn't want anyone but Tau coming through the Nexus

The Tau are the punching bag again

I love these videos bro ! With more relevant background images these vids could be epic. Keep up the great work my man

My 1st time visit, god you got me, hooked

"How has no one made a 40k film yet" - Well for a start they have, just not about this. If you mean a game of throne'esque sort of thing, yeah good question. I figure its partly to do with how horrible most mainstream 40k video games have been. I mean lets be fair, some might have sold okay, but they always fail to do the lore justice, to tell a good story and indeed do something interesting which is Entirely possible in a grimdark, immersive kind of way. There is enough material out there, for years and years of story telling ... its not even "pew pew" all the time, loads of intrigue, mysteries, politics, ceremonies, industry (LOADS of industry..EPIC amounts of industry), cults, research, exploration (Holy shit the exploration) and uncovering lost artefacts (my god what artefacts). Its not even an overstatement and I'm sure you know this. To do anything, properly, with this franchise in movie terms, you need someone who cares more about telling a story than constant action (though not opposed to action). Someone like Paul William Scott Anderson, who directed Event Horizon...and team him up with the original screenwriter too after giving him the material to reference. Then maybe you'd have a shot.

Straight up "Event Horizon"

I imagined this as an animated show; in my head. Made hearing this so much better.

Shadowson is truly badass, Kitten you lucky bastard!! Some custodian screams in the background: *THAT'S, NOT, CANNON*

so im not that familiar with the relative strength of the tau, could a traitor legion and their primarch defeat the tau empire? just one. also, would it depend on the legion?

Glory to Mortarion! Glory to the Death Guard!

The reason why a 40k film / game at any level higher than indie stuff is difficult to make is the breadth and depth of context you need to understand anything that’s happening. There are many factions, many stories, and that’s overwhelming to someone who’s just tryna entertain themselves for a few hours

When I read the title of the video, I knew I didn't even need to watch to know how the meeting went. But because it's Wolf Lord Rho, I will.
