Thank you for the support on the Cyber Dynasty Launch, the upcoming Kickstarter can be found here : www.kickstarter.com/projects/dungeonndreadnought/g…

The Tau are the new kids on the block, with a culture younger than many characters still alive in the setting - so that begs the question, how did the other races and factions react to the new blue boys?

    Nothing gets me harder than a good Tau upload Except the new Commissar Cain NSFW Artwork on the patreon for only $1 : www.patreon.com/majorkill It's surprisingly super lore accurate
  • Technologically, Tau versus the Imperium is like a late WW2 military fighting an early WW1 military, except the WW1 military has random F22s, Abrams tanks, and other modern weapons sprinkled in.
  • It's funny because I'd guess that at least 70% of people in the setting actually just don't even know what a Tau is, this is like asking what the world thinks of the Ruritanian province of Obaskurr.
  • Orkz: "Oi, these blue skins ain't bad, give meh a high-five" The tau: " the attempt at my life has left me scared and deformed"
  • @jonathan6401
    How each pre-heresy primarch would react to the current imperium when placed in Gullimans shoes would be a cool video idea
  • @Rytonic69
    Don't forget that the Leagues of Votann already had a longtime alliance with the Tau. The Tau knew them as the Demiurge, a race of merchants and miners. Only recently the Leagues have been engaging in more trade and conflict with the galaxy as a whole, and the true nature of the demiurge was revealed
  • @ianyoder2537
    When you said the tau gave the orks guns without ammo I genuinely expected you to say the orks were able to shoot the tau anyway because of the power of the WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGG!

    If you ever get Isekai-ed into Warhammer 40k, you'd join the Tau than the Imperium. At you get to pilot a mobile suit in the Tau.
  • @MandoSki464
    I wonder if the tau will ever have a war against their A.I’s or a portion of their A.I’s rebelling
  • @rexlumontad5644
    Little Kitten and Commander Shadowsun were once an item in the past... But she had to break up with him because he is a long lived Custodes and she is a mortal. And he would have outlived her. So she has to leave him so he won't see her grow old and pass away.

    The Tau are capable of curing genestealer up to like 2nd generation. Furthermore they can easily screen for their genes via kroot shapers
  • One of my favorite comics depicts the Tau origins as the Emperor ordering Horus to flush his pet goldfish down the toilet of his battlebarge, but the fish managing to survive and eventually evolving into the Tau thousands of years later.
  • @ravnemagne9598
    If you haven't made it before, a video describing the various Sororitas orders could be neat, or really just anything about the nuns with guns, they don't get enough love outside of "certain websites"
  • @hummerskickass
    A deamon of Tzeentch has a monologue on the Tau in the second Farsight book. He sees them as a race with great potential, and while individually weak spiritually, collectively they are extraordinarily powerful.
  • @thisguy2667
    Bro, you gotta start putting some of the leagues of Votan in this. They have a great relationship with a Tau that’s worth mentioning.
  • @epiccthulu
    having read the novel of tau vs death guard, Shadowsun: Silent Hunter, the tau have an understanding of demons. In the novel, an ethereal appointed a human navigator, so she has the third eye, to give advice on the warp. Shadowsun and Farsight both have anti-demon tactics since the events of their latest novels
  • @cegesh1459
    A video about all Tsu auxilliaries would ve great and give a deserved spotlight to Xenos.
  • @trimeerious4349
    Getting a video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to being in Guillimans situation of waking up to being imperial regent would be pretty cool ngl. It may be only speculation but I'm going off pure stubbornness now, it's almost been a year.
