And that is even if the auxiliaries can be used in such a capacity.Īnd really, the planets the Tau took are inconsequential to the Imperium.

They have auxiliaries that are capable of doing so, but the Tau have a overwhelming sense of self superiority, and I can imagine it will never even occur to them to plug in auxiliaries like Navigators. They can't wrap their heads around it due to the sheer fact it requires something they do not possess, understand, or even really acknowledge - the ability to access and use the warp. The Tau have been experimenting on warp technology for ages. The other two were steamrolled.Īnd funnily enough, there is an Admech and Red Scorpions versus Tau book coming out sooner or later from FW. Prefectia and Agrellan were the only two worth noting. The only thing they underestimated was the Adeptus Mechanicus, and there is an Ad Mech Forgeworld in striking distance for a Tau campaign if they go back west. Also they can already get through the fire with the shields they are inventing so it took them all of a few weeks to start adapting. Also blow for blow the Tau came out of the campaign with 4 more planets than the 1 they lost. That or the Tau will strike out in another diction and expand a lot. Well what would shake up the Tau more than having the Ethereals killed off, Farsight Ascend to rule them, and they begin to discover the ability to use warp drives. There's simply too much implications in the lore that the Tau are about to get a lot more powerful and a lot larger of an Empire and with how end times is going and sad panda even said the Tau books were the first of the new plot so leading up to some big events that will shake up the 40k story a lot. Though they will probably take the opportunity to off a few captains, and either Calgar or Sicarius. It is the Ultramarines backyard, after all, and it's not like Imperial/Ultramarine cooperation with the Tau is unheard of if the situation is dire enough.Īnd if the largest tyranid hive fleet to date doesn't draw the attention of the Chapter that literally hates them the most, I'm going to be surprised. Marneus Calgar would rather have the comparably quiet Xenos neighbours of Farsight than a large Hive Fleet barreling down on Macragge again. I actually could see a Tau (Farsight) and Ultramarines team up, as much as I hate to admit it. That, and setting the Gulf on fire would probably make anyone sensible pause and go back to the drawing board, especially as that was done after they got their first real glimpse on how big, spiteful, and powerful the Imperium is. The Tau Empire proper is going to be sitting on its hands or going after softer tsrgets than the Imperium for a while.

The Ethereals have to figure out what to do now that the driving personality behind the Empire was assassinated, they lost a significant amount of troops to the Imperial retaliation, and after Prefectia their advance is stopped and the Imperium is dug in through the Gilded Worlds. The Tau won't be crawling out of the Damocles sector for a good long while. Gamgee wrote: The Tau are studying warp tech, the FSE is fighting what might be the largest hive fleet yet, there is a matter of Tau revenge for lighting the damocles gulf on fire, and the prophecy of Farsight being one of the only hopes for the galaxy and being helped by the Grey Knights and or Inquisition to try and resist chaos. Its a more sensible reason for fluffy SM on SM matches in my head-canon. That's why as a fluff fan I am excited.Īnd as much as it sounds like something 16 year old me would say, but I am giddy at the thought of angry, now nomadic, Space Wolves, knowing they weren't traitors. I know it and the new Wulfen won't thrive in that meta, but guess what. this is amazing, and is forcing me to bring a new SW list to my next ITC tournament. The idea that you can't move forward because it limits older players doesn't hold weight.

Every event brings the opportunity for new stories for people to invest their energy in their own fluff. However, it reenergizes a whole lot more to be part of that change or give it another shot if they left. You can't escape that some people will be pissed off. I had was a part owner of a comic book store when that happened. People still bought Superman merchandise when he died. If Fenris does actually end up getting destroyed, my prediction is that people, being the adults that they are, will shrug and move on because they're aware that fluff is fictional and it has no actual bearing on their multi-hundreds of dollars' worth of toys.
