What? They don't have the Emperor or Thunder Warriors as precursors either, forgot that part. Didn't have Chaos send the fake space Marines to savage worlds to build character. They only had space marine cookie cutters, not the elite Custodes hellbent on redemption. From what I hear, one Krieger can take on a dozen of them in close quarters combat with only a shovel and beat at least one to death with glee.🥰❤️🔥
He did. His leg got torn off, so they made a "prosthetic" from one of the dead fake space Marines' legs. This is from the book "Blades of Damocles." It's really good.
In all fairness they initially didn’t know what was happening. All they saw was a squad of fellow Ultramarines firing at them, and he was confused as hell as to why. It was only when they realized the fake Marines were holding their weapons weird that the deception was discovered
You would think that if they had the DNA of the Space Marines that would mean that they had the Geneseed as well since you can't have one without the other for Space Marines.

They have dabbled in cloning too. Bravesword has been cloned repeatedly. In fact the first clone was born while the original still lived. (Bravestorm at the time didnt know what they were using his tissues samples for.) The clones seem to have some genetic memory as they can pilot Crisis Suits right of the bat but they seem to have different personalities and are aware they are clones.
@@leonalchamendris4036 in 40K Cloning has a weird effect on the soul and the clone tends to suffer from bad luck in a warp-rated manner. (You could argue this apples to Bladestorm as he has "died" 7 times at this point) The only people who seem to have no soul/warp issue with cloning are the Leagues of Votaan and that is probabbly because of their AI's probably doing something to counteract/negate it. (something like variable mutation so that they are not EXACT clones for example.) NOTE: Cloning shouldn't be confused with Vita-Womb (or VAT grown) subjects. They are usually grown from DNA from two subjects so they are "new" people and have souls.

The last Astartes the Tau tried to recruit, killed a bunch of telepaths trying to brainwash him with his willpower alone, and while in captivaty, he just stopped his heart to kill himself out of pure spite.
you talk like it was a choice, astartes are genetically programmed to die before they lose their mind... yes yes i know about chaos corruption, thats a different situation all together
@WaaaghMarine nah the ultramarine dreadnought that farsight spoke to and the ravenguard that ended himself on the interrogation table while tau invaded his mind are different astartes
It took the Emperor himself 1000 years to create the Astartes. It's no surprise whatsoever that the Tau can't just build their own in under a decade, but the Tau as a whole are already well above the Imperium baseline level of genetics expertise. They can cure both Gene-Stealer infections without killing the host, as well as effectively combatting plagues of Nurgle. Two things to which the Imperium's only answer is flamethrowers.
@@UnknownSquid Good point though I imagine the Imperium can do both of those things as well, it's just that it operates at such a order of magnitude more scale (and has so many other issues/threats) than the Tau that it doesn't mass produce the capability
@@SprikSprak This is somewhat true, yeah. A defining trait of the Imperium, is that there's nearly always some planet, some specific single manufactorum, an isolated sub-faction, or some particular individual savant, that actually CAN do ( insert thing here ).

@@RichardStrong86 If they're so limited in number that they can't be deployed, then they're not superior in anything other than a soldier to soldier level.
Didnt the Tau marines also use Tau tactics like using cover and not just hipfiring an entire magazine and that freaked the real marines out more than the fact that the tau cloned humans?
They weren't freaked out so much as confused. Hipfiring let's you use the paldrons to protect yourself, shouldering the gun exposes the underside of the paldrons, that and shouldering a stock less gun doesn't have much benefit, especially when your sight isn't on the gun but in the helmet halo style.
To be fair it took like 5 perpetuals the emperor being one of them and 1000s of the greatest minds and a sneaky deal with the gods of chaos to create the primarchs and their sons
No sneaky deal needed, the Emperor literally ripped Chaos energy from the warp and instilled it into the Primarchs genome to increase their innate psyker abilities. Unfortunately they found out that this would be their undoing
@@MrLegendseekaThere canonically was a deal cut between Big E and the Big Four on Molech. Without that, no Primarchs. Big E tried to go back on that deal later, which is implied to be what caused the Primarchs to be scattered across the galaxy.
@@MrLegendseekait wasn't really their undoing. Horus would not have fell had it not been planned by the Word Bearers to use the Anathame to wound and then corrupt him. The word bearers are the ones to blame for the Horus Heresy. Between them being scolded by the Emperor for ignoring the Imperial Truth and their meddling with chaos they fell first. I'm not sure Magnus, nor Fulgrim would have followed into chaos either. Magnus was left with little choice after the burning of Prospero, but his giving in to Chaos was RELUCTANT. Fulgrim regretted his actions at the Drop Site massacre and the killing of his brother. Had Horus not been corrupted, they wouldn't have given in either.
Yes but to be fair, copying the Emperor's DNA and trying to create and control something out of it is such heresy and blasphemy that the Ultramarines probably went berserk.
To be fair, I think complete and pure sentient Chaos - which has always existed, and will always exist - is a bit more likely to get into the mines of a super Warrior, than some lil bird boi with a blaster.
The warp literally corrupts your SOUL. Chaos marines don't simply have a change of allegiance over beliefs. They fall to chaos because chaos can literally change who you are on a fundamental level and there's nothing you can do to stop it once the process has actually started. Even primarchs can be turned against their will.
I love how the fake marines shot the sergeant in the face and he just walks it off like they threw pixie dust in his face but then they do the same thing later and it just kills em. Same weapons, kit everything, so consistent....
When a giant green fungi creature can bullsh*t the universe so his weapon that's made out of a tincan and piece of pipe can fire real bullets.... anything goes
Yeah like the one time they made a genetic desiese to kill the tyranids they adapted of course of but it killed a bunch of them before hand, proving that genetic diseases are a good tactic against the tyranids but really hard to do at the end of the day.
Yeah, the much better explanation is space marines being massively resource inefficient, and for the cost they are better off making more crisis suits or training more fire warriors
Memories kinda fuzzy but wasn’t Orks super enhanced by a god or demigod in the beginning to fight Necrons? Then after thousands of years they slowly forgot why they were created and went feral and found fighting more fun?
the Orks were created by The Old Ones and shaped the green groundwork for them. a more accurate insult would be accusing most races of being CONTINOUSLY guided and protected by their deities, while the Orks are doing just fine by themselves even after the Old Ones were ripped apart and imprisoned by the skelly bois. Also they worship Gork and Mork.

@@ShadowWolfRisingI thought they just found them pretty easy due to them closely keeping an eye on people who are allowed to breed and those who aren’t
Not quite correct. They didn't die because the Tau couldn't make Geneseed or accomodate for it. They died because they fought like the Tau. They didn't fight or act like Space Marines and lacked the same training and thought process. In terms of physical ability, they could absolutely take a normal Space Marine, they just lacked the training, individuality, experience, and mindset of a Space Marine.
@@oo-xb6gv Yeah. The Tau Marines were using cover and fighting solely from range, using Bolters like sniper rifles. Meanwhile, the actual marines decided to charge into melee. The copies didn't really have the zeal of the Space Marines and just kinda let it happen. Didn't bring out their own blades and just kept focused on shooting.
Canonically the biggest and most influential betrayers in the entire setting. Their treachery is literally the lynch pin origin of the core 40k plotline. SIXTY FOUR published volumes of how they fucked basically EVERYTHING up, because they decided to turn traitor en-mass. "Muh spes marines are soooo loyal, they would never..."
I know it's not what you were talking about but now I want to see how a Nanosuit from Crysis would fare against a space marine. I'm not sure if it would be as protective. More flexible and excellent for special forces definitely. But in terms if protection that can't take all that much considering how quickly they need to recharge under fire. An Astartes might be able to tank way more. Also there are some devastating weapons in 40k that it might just not be as good against. Still a good soldier like Alcatraz might be able to take down an Astartes 1v1 if the games don't fully reflect the in lore abilities of the Nanosuit. But i'm a bit out of the loop on crysis lore. Still would love to see how a fight would play out.
Comparing both "in-lore" versions, yeah, I think it's not even very fair, bc while the SM suit is very good, durable, and give an overall advantage to the user in any way, it can't interface with their entire body directly, while the Crisis one is so good at that, that it's very likely a one-way conversion to being a part of the suit itself, while being also virtually better than the SM suit in any category. (virtually because it can "only" do one advantage at a time, and it's energy dependent, but since both problems can be solved, it still would be better)
@@projectdeveloper9311 I know nothing about Crysis lore, so take this as you will: if the suit needs power to do is thing and it gets taxed holding back bullets, then a space marine could simply lay down heavy fire and blitz. They're fast, clocking something like 50mph (80kph) and strong, and they don't have to pick between, plus lore ceramite can take a lot of punishment. A Terminator would be incredibly one sided I assume because it's weapons are often powered melee.
There's an scp task force who can easily kill some space marines, they're called the samsara and would be a pretty good match against a custodian (and that's in a 1v1).
@@rivencraft1734 Well, the problem here is that "energy" thing about the Crisis suit, bc without external power, it can withstand normal rifle bullets (7.62mm), but with it's "maximum energy" (at least what is shown in the last game) it can withstand a reentry from orbit (around 2000km) basically untouched. All that wording to say that it's a decent piece of armor with an energy shield, so it really boils down to how much energy the suit has at the moment of the battle, but since it can also recharge from thermal energy in the environment (shown in the first game), the battle would be to see how much damage can the SM do to the suit ABOVE what it can defend itself just by absorbing from energy around it, or how long until the SM freezes EVERYTHING around the suit to the point of making liquid nitrogen out of the atmosphere (to be sure it won't just reheat from the environment farther away too fast) The latter would work because it worked in the intro of the third game (If I'm not mistaken) when the caracter was frozen inside the suit and it put him in a coma-like state. Just to be clear about this, I just recently discovered WH40K, so don't expect me to fully understand what an SM chapter can do
More likely to ally with some of the less radical chapters in the face of a common enemy, and while fighting together the astartes may realize these xenos are not a open threat to humanity and maybe collaborate, I immagine the Salamanders given their interest in tecnology and reluctance to endanger the civilians would be the best choice to find common ground.
They actually did try to convince a space marine to join the greater good. They tried talking to him, they had a turned commissar talk to him, and when that didn't work they tried to brainwash him. When they looked in his mind all they got was his name and the phrase "you will not break my will" . After a while it turned to "I will do my duty." And that marine then gave himself a double heart attack and killed the 20 tau sifting through his mind. Unfortunately the Tau trying to turn a marine will never work as space marine indoctrination makes them see Xenos as little more than animals. Like dogs.
Grey Knights find common ground with anyone trying to kill demons, so they could work too. Would love to see the tau get a real good look at a custodes though. Just see one on the battlefield and really *understand* the age, the standards, the abilities of this one dude and then be told there's thousands of them.
@@rivencraft1734 that would probably spell disaster becouse while the tau know nothing of geneseed and astartes training the custodes are the peak of genecraft tecnology, if they realize what a custodes can do both mentaly and physicaly and manage by sheer luck to get a custodes corpse or just grab a sample of DNA they could replicate or just unlock who knows how many secrets since in tau society there is no one to prevent study on whatever can give an advantage.
@@rivencraft1734Grey knights also turn around and murder anyone in the area afterwards or enslave, neuter and replace the population of that world to prevent secrets or the formation of cults so that alliance would be short lived. But you are right I would love to see the tau reaction to a custodes then the custode to agree with a lot of the tau mindset.
This is impossible as the primarchs were made by the Emperor, other perpetuals, a team of geneticists and still needed to make a deal with all 4 chaos gods to make it happen. The tau have no presence in the Warp, the Chaos gods won't care about them at all... let alone them having perpetuals...
Could they start building a enhanced _Tau_ SuperSoldier from the ground up, just using Astartes as an inspiration? As for the Tau sucking at genetics, they developed bioweapons that devastated Tyranid Hive fleets. That shows some skill in biotechnology. And with their rapid technological progress they might be able to advance very fast if they put their minds to it. Having seen the benifits and success of Imperium biotechnology and genetics they might go all in on improving their species - that seems a very Tau thing to do, no doubt with some hidden dark secret, such as secret controls and modifying other species without their knowledge to better serve The Greater Good (and the power of the Ethereals).
@@shinhook2k280 yeah, i agree, their whole schtick is that they are weak individuals who compensate their weakness with technology and mechs, they dont need a supersoldier team that is so overused.

@@shinhook2k280 yep for game balance. I was thinking more in terms of how such a society would respond. But that would involve someone in 40k being rational.....
So intersting thing but bear in mind this is from a book so whether its canon is up in the air. Spoilers for the book War of Secrets. So O'Kais was part of Shadowsuns fleet that went through the Startide Nexus and was frozen in statsis as Tau do. However something malfunctioned and while his body was in statsis, his mind was active and the earth caste engineers fed him simluation after simulation until he basically had a plan for everything. They then parked him in a Ghostkeel and he infiltrated a fortress monastry (yeah i know thats a little much but too be fair he got information from a dark angel on how to get in (long story) and most of the chapter was away and it was a chapter that was sort of fuedal. ). Anyways he managed to take out multiple marines and escape though granted alot of that was due to the suit. Regardless its an interesting idea for a tau super soilder thats plays into their strenghts that being their technology. Maybe throw in some nano tech aswell and its got potential
If I remembered correctly it was due to genuine confusion on the ultramarines part. The Tau Marines were armored in scavenged Ultramarine armor and so when they attacked Sicarius tried to subdue one while screaming friendly fire It wasn't until he noticed their silence and battle stance that he realized they weren't true Astartes
Tau weapons tear through Astartes like tissue paper. Frankly the Imperial Guard are a better choice to fight the Tau because your less likely to lose a veteran of a hundred campaigns to some random private who managed to get an Astartes in their iron sights.

@@1YCARADOFACAO Modern Humanity went from the bronze age to the contemporary era in 5,000 years or so. With a life expectancy half that of humanity? The T'au actually seem to advance relatively slowly.
@@thanatos5150 The bronze age isn't even close to the start of modern humans though. The first stone tool use by hominins was over 3 million years ago. The first evidence of modern humans using fire and more complex stone tools dates back 200,000 years. Considering the first encounter with early Tau reported them being on a similar level to stone age humans, having just discovered fire. 6,000 years later, they've got advanced mech suits, near light speed space travel and multiple star systems under their control. Even if current humans could somehow reach that level of technology in a hundred years, Tau would still have advanced way, way faster. Tau reached that level of technology in just 3% of the time, or over 33 times faster than humans. And that's very optimistic for humanity, as I doubt we'd reach even a single of those milestones within a hundred years. Thanks to the writers, the Imperium encountered Tau when they had just surpassed the Imperium's technology in most aspects. If they had gone unnoticed for another 1000 years, they would probably have technology that'd put even Necrons and Eldar to shame.
That would require the Imperium relenting on their "Zero Xeno" policy. The break away Tau would likely be murdered on sight. He would have more chance attempting to integrate into one of the Hive worlds in exchange for a life of servitude to one of the Overlords
Created by Xeno hands, an imperfect clone of an Astartes and thus a Mutant, and having never basked in the light of the Emperor curses them as a Heretic. They would be killed the moment their artificial nature is revealed.
If I'm remembering the book correctly, it was only due to surprise. The fake marines were also wearing Ultramarine armor, so when the fight kicked off the real marines were confused and calling out friendly fire instead of fighting back because they thought it was a mistake and didn't want to kill their own.
That last line is kind of bogus. They didn't have the gene scene, something that was created by the Emperor of mankind but yet they created something very very close based on scraps of DNA that got from the transhuman corps and made something so lifelike and realistic that it actually made the ultramarine uncomfortable how scarily close the space blueberries were able to get
It's the typical brain dead anti-Tau bias. As always. Just painfully childishly stupid, to the point of even being quite backwards in regards to the tale it's telling, as usual.
I could imagine some renegade Space Marine working for the Tau as mercenaries or privateers but would likely ditch them the moment someone with a bigger bank account makes them an offer.
Space Marines are way beyond Tau tech, just like all the higher tech imperial stuff. The Tau has better average tech used than the imperium, but the imperium has even managed to make a bit of webway. That is way beyond all but the ancient empires, like the Necrons, Eldar and Old Ones.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't all imperial tech just reused old human tech so technically while the empire has some better tech things(though I would even argue with that as some things might be more powerful but have so many drawbacks that it becomes less effective) they can't really make them themselfs so loosing some of the cool shit they have is an almost irreplaceable loss.
@Velatus5978 it is more complicated than that. Some tech they cannot replace, most of this is from 30k. Some is older. But most by far is stuff where nobody alive has the skills to make it and/or the necessary facilities are damaged beyond repair. They do develop some new high tier tech, this is mostly via cawl and people like him. Most tech they can still make.
Lore wise, I can only imagine how absolutely and pissed off the astartes were at seeing dollar tree clones of themselves. As in marine goes into fuck you mode and solos all of them.
they still came close , by a small margin but still close, with enough research they could make their own geneseeds using some of tau greatest warriors
"The Tau suck at genetic modification" **Saves an entire planet from genestealer virus** Nah m8, they're just playing plot armour for Space Marines cuz in reality, the Tau could replicate everything.
I love that every lore video about spacemarines they are presented as unstoppable killing machines but everything you see them in action they just go down easily like a regular grunt,
"Why haven't the Tau created Space Marines" Because if they did the Imperium would see it as one of the ultimate heresies possible and view it as reason to dedicate real resources to destroying the Tau.
The Tau need a buff in the lore fr, their the only major faction that get shit on all the time for no reason besides "why not" It's not even funny anymore at this point, why even keep them around o If their whole purpose is to be laughed at
They’re the only “sci if” aesthetic faction. That goes full HAM with Japanese mechs. That’s literally their whole thing, doesn’t mean they’ve gotta be powerful in lore. They just look cool
@user-rs9bc4qr2s Maybe they don't have to be powerful But they are still a major and important to the lore faction I would love if they got something more
Here's the thing. The dumb Imperium fanboys constantly shit on the Tau and spread inaccurate memes, but in terms of actual lore the Tau are actually kicking ass. Let me be frank when I say that 90% of everything you've ever hear about the Tau in videos like this, is pretty much misinformation and bullshit, or otherwise presented in a way that tries to make the Tau sound lame, but really does no such thing once the schoolboy jeering is taken away. The people making this stuff don't actually read Tau books. They just play an eternal game of "telephone" or "chinese whispers" where they typically start with a real Tau lore excerpt, and then circle jerk trying to make it sound bad until you get the result you see here. Quite often they take even major Tau victories, and then misrepresent the hell out of it, to act like it was a Tau loss. Other times its based on some random quote from an Imperial Commisar, who knows fuck all about the Tau, and is just repeating in-world propoganda. So whilst the galaxy is full of scary horrors, and the Tau naturally have a rough time upon first meeting them, basically every encounter has been a story of the Tau heroically overcoming it and continuing to expand. Vs the Imperium specifically, the Tau are the aggressor, having conquered dozens of Imperial worlds, whilst the Imperium desperately engages in stall tactics and scorched earth, lacking the forces to pull away from other even more desperate fronts. The entire "problem" about the Tau, isn't that they're "a joke". It's that the vast majority of the fanbase has literally never interacted with any first hand source or lore about them, and is about as knowledgeable on them as a hive world urchin is, and with the same degree of naive childish bias too.
@@UnknownSquid True most people don't care about the Tau or their lore and its obvious they don't even try to understand anything about them because of a dumb childish baised against them It's also true that the Tau have more problems than the other factions because the Tau are the canonicaly youngest faction and don't know much as of yet, they have to learn and grow but if Humanity can just get past every obstacles through sheer will and numbers alone than the Tau shouldn't have that many problems, especially because of their scientific advancements and ability to learn and adapt quickly I just generally feel like the Tau are heavily underrepresented and are often thrown curve balls and Games workshops is to afraid of community backlash to do anything with them because the Tau are the most disliked faction for basically no reason
@@_Chaosnight_ Well they're a small faction in terms of their presence and impact on the galactic scene, so I'm not surprised they don't get that much representation from GW. But yeah, as you can tell, the childish way the wider 40k community regards them is what bothers me the most. I'd say that the most under-represented faction is probably the Eldar. They're a very important faction with both enormous amounts of history, and a basically galaxy spanning area of influence and involvement in the setting. And yet you barely see or hear anything at all about them. Though, perhaps it's better to be dismissively ignored, than brainlessly mocked.
Could you imagine if the tau could make geneseed, I’d reckon with how archaic the imperium are in keeping their geneseed and with time became mutated or straight up defective. The tau could easily make arguably better quality
Considering it's something made by the emperor, and alot of the "special sauce" that fundamentally goes into the space marines comes from the primarchs which he needed to get from the chaos gods, I doubt they could ever make any, even now tbh
The thing is geneseed comes from the primarchs and they're also made to be used on humans. So assuming they want to use it on themselves, they would have to figure out how to do that. Its probably more worth it to just focus on their mechs.
Impossible literally impossible for they don't have resources and they would instantly be extinct the moment the Imperium finds out about it and launches a crusade.
@@AdeptKing so think of it this way, they’re not held back by the admech and the wider imperium by keeping gene stocks restricted, they can quite possibly replicate, hell even cloned, they have proven themselves to have the resources to do so
The Emperor made the Primarchs and by extension Geneseed after msking and then breaking a deal with the chaos gods. I doubt the Ethereals or Farsight would want anything to do with them especially after recent events. As for them reverse engineering geneseed... why? The process of making space marines is long,costly snd straight up barbaric. Why go through all that trouble when they can just keep mass producing better battle suits and arm their ground soldiers with weapons that can penetrate SM armor? Hell they can have better results by just keep feeding dead Marines to the Kroot.
the Tau/Space Marine Mashup Equipment of the Dornian Heresy Ultramarines looks cool though. Also Plasma Weapons that may be only S6 but don't explode :D
That is because the T'au specialise in technological superiority with their battle suits. They do not need genetic manipulation to be an impressive war machine. 😎
Seeing what it took to create primarchs, and from there branch to each chapter of marines… Yeah, the Tau would have their very own warp disaster to try and create them, just like the Eldar and Humans.
This is the biggest stupid plot hole that everyone is just going along with. Space marines turn to chaos. Space Marines even go renegade.. Yes it takes a lot to make them turn against the imperium, but it’s not impossible, and it happens all the time. It would actually make a lot of sense if an entire chapter started supporting the Tau. Especially if they understood the fact that Tau starve chaos due to their low presence in the warp.
And any non-tau species in their Empire ruins that “starving” so they would have to genocide humans, like they did on a few occasions by the way, so no, space marine wouldnt sign up on exterminating his own species on behest of a xeno. Oh in fact Chaos space marines are often even more xenophobic than basic ones, they look down on literally any non-human species as unworthy worms.
Now to be fair, Tau society is the only one in 40K that actually is flourishing. Too bad about the whole mindcontrol and caste thing, but Farsight is fixing that with Khorne's help. :P
