@@ABorderPrince if you remember the histories of the men of stone etc. you'll know they sent out automated ships way ahead of colonization waves. They probably just calculated they'd only need the planet in a few thousand years and it wasn't a priority to invest heavily in it.
People seem to make the mistake of thinking the Imperium is technologically backward. It's really not; it's just stagnant, i.e. not making any new advances. If you look past the religious iconography and brutal rituals, the Imperium is really more advanced than even Star Trek. They are light-years ahead of us in all fields of science. Bioengineering? Polymorphine and Space Marine Glands. Weapons Design? A Lasgun is as powerful as an Abrams tank. Spacecraft? They can build ships 20+ km long. They have even invented things like gellar fields to resist literal unscience and unlogic, i.e. Chaos.
Arbites... you had one job. Too bad the Imperium doesn't have some sort of organization, or *ORDOS* , that specializes in *INQUIRING* into cases of *XENOS* infiltration and corruption.

@@Turnil321 my thought on it is that Black Library is still figuring out how to write believable Tau/Human conflict strategy. So leaning the major pieces of the plot on Imperial incompetence instead of Tau competence is the result. I can't help but feel it's a disservice for both factions. The 2nd Damocles Gulf Crusade was written somewhat better so I'm hoping for improvement, but still features the literary crutch of explaining Tau victories almost more through Imperial idiocy than Tau brilliance. Feels lazy to me
@@tonypecoraro9220 I mean they can't show anybody who isn't a human as being competent lest the imperium fanboys babyrage and stop buying the weekly space marine model release so...
You data file as been received and is now in for review Inquisitor Prince. I will post my thoughts and impressions, once this file & data, is reviewed. May the Emperor guide you, and protect you Inquisitor.
Your imperial narrator is spot on. Great work. Haha I return sometime later. This is escalating quickly and the narrator is absolutely disgusted at the failures of these marines. Bravo.
The funniest thing about Warhammer campaigns is how they'll always say at the start " they expected light resistance and a swift and decisive victory" and you just know at the back of your mind nothing could be farther from the truth.
I’ve never made it through this vid I listen to your voice to help me sleep in these troubled times Thanks bro, thank you for your sonorous vowel sounds
its crazy to think how nerfed the space marines are after the reforms. This one relatively minor engagement threatened to annihilate the chapters entire fighting force. Pre Horus heresy, it probably would not have taken more than a single legion to convert the tau species into a blue stain on the floor.
Technological regression, eroded logistical capabilities, and limited deployment numbers all weaken the chapters compared to the legions. 1000 marines of pre heresy deployment ability would be more capable than 1000 m41 firstborn marines. Maybe not primaris or post ultima founding chapters.
The chapter entire was not threatened at all. What happened was the second company took heavy losses, suffering to the point that they were under half strength, but that is still not a endangering of the over all chapter
Imagine going to a planet to increase its tithes to directly support defending a Black Crusade that could literally crack the galaxy in half, and not only finding out that the planet can and *will* supply as much as it needs, but also that some aliens were *helping* mine this stuff out to get a little off the side; and deciding "yeah, this is exactly the time to invade the planet in a lengthy campaign to put a stop to that, too much heresy for me." Ah, love the Imperium

My favourite part of the whole Taros campaign has to be the imperium's initial response and the battle for the Governor's palace. It's so over the top. Defenders mutiny at the sight of the strike cruiser, the whole thing beginning with indiscriminate fire among the civilian population. Then the assault and tactical squads probably could handle the whole thing on themselves as they are just fighting against politicians and random guards but no: they also choose to teleport freaking Terminators directly into the palace :D

All the Tau operations portrayed in GW's stories vs our finest makes me want to flip the table! In what world does a single assault cannon termie squad score 4 crisis kills against outnumbering battlesuit teams with hammerhead support? One shooting phase from the Tau forces present in the story would make the termie squad teleport into the ground. Also, barracudas shooting burst cannon at thunderhawks, cool.... Wait what? Forget all my other guns, let's use the antipersonnel weapon against a flying land raider... Cuz for the great good? Damn imperial propaganda!!! All tables aside, thank you inquisitor AP for all your hard work in providing me with much needed entertainment this year!!
Ive always considered that space marines are disproportionately strong in the lore as opposed to tabletop because they are led by century old combat veterans using masterfully crafted tactics and in tabletop they are led by puny mortals with no sense of tactics.
Oh boy, then you’re gonna love “Courage and Honor,” in which things are exactly flipped - the Tau are way too competent, which includes one specific Tau warrior running around a heavily guarded prison compound wielding a stolen eviscerator (yes, not a simple chainsword - an eviscerator), without any supporting equipment whatsoever, and massacring the guards wholesale. It. Was. So. Stupid. Easily the worst book in the otherwise quite good Ultramarines series
@@jordinagel1184 Sounds like a certain video game in the early 2000s where you were a lone Shas' la in the trenches taking on an Imperial strike force alone, Astartes included lol PS. your starting armour had a built in energy shield that self recharged like the Master Chief! I just want believable realism in my grim dark sci fi :C
The tau are just making the imperials think they are beaten they are plotting in the shadows and will rise up a take control of the galaxy and hold their rightful place as rulers
The first intervention by Captain Armaros and his company of the Avenging Sons has a serious Black Hawk Down vibe to it. It even sounds like Gothic Serpent with the Tactical Marines setting up the roadblocks like the Rangers, while the 1st Company and Assault Marines acted as the Delta Force strike group going after a "high value target". It apparently went about as well as Gothic Serpent did too.
Typicall spacemarine attack plan: Use maximum force and forget sneakeness, cunning and over all common sense. Counting on surprises WITH A BATTLEBARGE IN ORBIT. Sure, that will work. Counting on the low quality of your enemy. That's a beginner's mistake. But these are spacemariens, so they have a point. Why not modify a freighter to lunch droppots?
My dumb ass fell asleep and this video started playing on the TV. I woke up to it and in my half asleep state I thought I was listening to some History Channel documentary about earth.

500th comment on this video and I'm wishing prince a happy neophyte and home. Also 1:14:00 when you absolutely have to slaughter everyone in the leadership you teleport 5 terminators in
I would be genuinely curious if we could crowd fund a writer for GW who’s single and only job is to make data charts, reports and other fluff for the imperium. Be kinda interesting to sit down on the warhammer app and read some of these documents
The Taros campaign was the Tau beating an Imperium that wasn't taking it seriously. The Tau hailed it as a great victory while the Imperium just shrugged it off like a failed skirmish and moved on. The aftermath described for the Imperials was just reorganize, reinforce, resupply, and redeploy the surviving units. No real worry over the loss of a world.
Tau: take a world This is a great victory, glory to space communism, the Imperium isn't so strong SpongeBob Narrator: One Minute Later Damocles Gulf Crusade
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle laughs in getting an entire planet swindled from you by dark eldar, ultimately losing the major territorial gains in the 3rd sphere expansion, having failbaddon bail the tau out by drawing imperial focus away, and all the while knowing that a single major enemy victory would probably collapse the tau empire XD
Man those Astartes where outnumbered 10 to 1 easy against tanks, Battlesuits and APC's as well and didn't have air superiority. Shows you how good and powerful they are given they where facing plasma and rail guns for infantry and still forced massive casualties on the Tau. Love this style of lore. The Arbites part was funny as well. Great job ABP Edit also they had none of their tanks or support vehicles. A few Dreadnoughts and Terminators and thats it. Imagine how scary a 100k+ force of Astartes during the Great Crusade with Fellblade tanks and Primarch tactical genius. Ya only the Necrons of the current Galaxy would stand a chance.
The fact that they had no air support...... These are astartes, you know super special forces meant to go and be anywhere without support and 200 of them had not one interceptor or even gunship to use as anti-air and ground strike........
@tarektechmarine8209 yes and in our current world this is used in Clandestine operations where we don't want anyone to know we are there. However where they work in a Combat zone they have air support and a QRF to assist if needed. But this is due to GW writers not knowing modern tactics but still a impressive showcase of the Astartes power.
'They are prey, nothing more… This upstart Tau must learn their place. Not trespassing in the Imperium, but in their grave’ Sergeant Cato Sicarius, during the First Damocles Crusade, during the Battle of Vespetin.
The battle for the palace was straight awesome. Picturing the fight with all the wontan carnage of battle and the destruction of the palace coming down around you. Is what you read 40k for. Seeing that the tao fight like we do today. Then the Imperium fight like High Tech Conan the Barbarians!! Awesome 👌 ! Thanks for the Great narration of the story! Happy Thanksgiving from Houston!!

nice, glad it helps
Great first part! I loved the in depth description of the logistical aspect of the invasion! Great reading I can't wait for part two!! 👍
I love imperial bureaucracy and logistics it's so much more interesting than the hack and slash
This guy could read the phone book and I'd still listen.
Thank god! I was getting worried, I ran out of aborderprince content also, first
your first is noted
Just came across you mate . Outstanding efforts , has inspired me to start playing again after 16 years thanks !
lol nice, but you should play lord of the rings its a superior ruleset
@@ABorderPrince are you Sean Pertwee in disguise?!
The first intervention by Captain Armaros and his company of the Avenging Sons has a serious Black Hawk Down vibe to it. It even sounds like Gothic Serpent with the Tactical Marines setting up the roadblocks like the Rangers, while the 1st Company and Assault Marines acted as the Delta Force strike group going after a "high value target". It apparently went about as well as Gothic Serpent did too.
How did I not see this channel before? Subbed 100%
TH-cam doesn't like abp for some reason. Probably because of sargon.
Tau’va gue’la this is some good shit
Love these long pieces. You do them so well. Cheers
Any of you found the spacemarine assault on the governer a tad.. overkill?
Not for the Imperium. Remember the first option was the Officio Assasins lol.
Typicall spacemarine attack plan: Use maximum force and forget sneakeness, cunning and over all common sense.
Counting on surprises WITH A BATTLEBARGE IN ORBIT. Sure, that will work.
Counting on the low quality of your enemy. That's a beginner's mistake. But these are spacemariens, so they have a point.
Why not modify a freighter to lunch droppots?
Nothing space marines do is ever overkill.
@@unclesam1756 is that because overkill is a moot concept when everything they do is overkill?
@@julonkrutor4649 well... There is always the Raven Guard
I rarely watch these videos but when I do... it's without my *pants*
What are... Pants?
@@ajobdunwell2585 pant are but a limit of flesh, robo-leg is superior.
1 minute in.
"In truth, the Imperium is failing...."
"Hello commissar, I didn't see you in the doorway, what....what are you doing with that La..."
That actually was the last thunderbolt to leave... sorry about that ;)
My dumb ass fell asleep and this video started playing on the TV. I woke up to it and in my half asleep state I thought I was listening to some History Channel documentary about earth.
Lol
I bet they will eventually find a tribe of the original human colonists living deep in the desert somewhere.
As someone still relatively new to the world of 40k, this has made me just shoved my face even harder into the ungodly pile of lore. Fantastic stuff 😂
I like the screen saver style pictures on this one. I know you don't really need visual for audiobook sometimes when I'm not doing nothing and listening instead of listening while I work.. I dunno know it's just kind of nice.
AYYYYY, We got pictures. a surprise but a welcomed one
Nice! Thank you dear narrator, for your, impeccably amazingness. So glad i found your channel
Why can I not like this more than once?
You the man ABPrince!
cheers dude
I have to be sitting up to finish any of these or working. I fall asleep if I’m laying down in like 10 minutes. I love this shit
I fell asleep watching gaming vids, woke up to this 2 hours deep. Also tau are best 40k race.
12:00 holy crap I'm sure that picture was taken not far from where I live.
It looks like New Mexico
Maybe I just googled desert tbh
Doing the Emperor's work yet again ABP
cheers
I hope you make these videos forever. Best channel on TH-cam!
i have ear infections i cant hear shit mono and i cant put my ear fones in the tvs are on full and still nothing ...... :( supose ill have to wait the Emperor protects not doing a good job with me atm
Gustavus Adolphus, the lion from the north, the first king of the swedes out of the Kalmar union, a national hero of his people, a beloved king and a brilliant tactician and strategist on the battlefield. he changed the way how Europeans fought their wars back then at his time...
Ummm....cool.
What does the 30 years war have to do with 40k.
@@LSgaming201 the guy in charge of the invasion is clearly named for/based on him
I have been waiting for this one. Hopefully the Damocles Crusade is on the list too.
that it be
These books always spark off my imagination great work and a perfect voice for storytelling thanks
At least I have this to make this day better, thank you abp I needed this.
The tau practice ' togetherness"
500th comment on this video and I'm wishing prince a happy neophyte and home.
Also 1:14:00 when you absolutely have to slaughter everyone in the leadership you teleport 5 terminators in
Am I wrong or are you always trying to hold back laughter whenever you do the servitor voice? 😂
lol
Thank you so much for these long campaign videos man. I know they must take a lot out of you but damn do I love them. o7
I love these episodes they are amazing
Cheers
I would be genuinely curious if we could crowd fund a writer for GW who’s single and only job is to make data charts, reports and other fluff for the imperium. Be kinda interesting to sit down on the warhammer app and read some of these documents
I'm new to Warhammer. Maybe a few months. But i love this shit !!! The lore is insane . Just put on one of your videos and chill out.
The moment I heard Kriegs I couldn't help but smile. *Happy gasmask noises*
The writer of this conflict must have really hated masonry.
What makes you say that?
The Taros campaign was the Tau beating an Imperium that wasn't taking it seriously.
The Tau hailed it as a great victory while the Imperium just shrugged it off like a failed skirmish and moved on. The aftermath described for the Imperials was just reorganize, reinforce, resupply, and redeploy the surviving units. No real worry over the loss of a world.
Tau: take a world
This is a great victory, glory to space communism, the Imperium isn't so strong

Damocles Gulf Crusade
@@joshuafischer684 *laughs in killing titans with hammerheads*
sounds like a whole lot of imperium cope RAHHHH
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle laughs in getting an entire planet swindled from you by dark eldar, ultimately losing the major territorial gains in the 3rd sphere expansion, having failbaddon bail the tau out by drawing imperial focus away, and all the while knowing that a single major enemy victory would probably collapse the tau empire XD
@@liciniusscapula7696 you talk a lot of shit when humanity is about to lose terra to hive fleet leviathan
Man those Astartes where outnumbered 10 to 1 easy against tanks, Battlesuits and APC's as well and didn't have air superiority. Shows you how good and powerful they are given they where facing plasma and rail guns for infantry and still forced massive casualties on the Tau. Love this style of lore. The Arbites part was funny as well. Great job ABP
Edit also they had none of their tanks or support vehicles. A few Dreadnoughts and Terminators and thats it. Imagine how scary a 100k+ force of Astartes during the Great Crusade with Fellblade tanks and Primarch tactical genius. Ya only the Necrons of the current Galaxy would stand a chance.
The fact that they had no air support...... These are astartes, you know super special forces meant to go and be anywhere without support and 200 of them had not one interceptor or even gunship to use as anti-air and ground strike........
@tarektechmarine8209 yes and in our current world this is used in Clandestine operations where we don't want anyone to know we are there. However where they work in a Combat zone they have air support and a QRF to assist if needed. But this is due to GW writers not knowing modern tactics but still a impressive showcase of the Astartes power.
i fell asleep to some random gaming video, I was surprised when I woke up at 2.am to this video.
Wow, you are serious underrated
'They are prey, nothing more… This upstart Tau must learn their place. Not trespassing in the Imperium, but in their grave’ Sergeant Cato Sicarius, during the First Damocles Crusade, during the Battle of Vespetin.
this is cool, it actually goes into the infrastructure of 40k which i was not aware even existed...
I’m a simple man, when I see a new video I Like it.
cheers man
This is superb, great work! Only thing scarier than a Tyranid is the Imperial Command Structure!!!!
The battle for the palace was straight awesome. Picturing the fight with all the wontan carnage of battle and the destruction of the palace coming down around you. Is what you read 40k for. Seeing that the tao fight like we do today. Then the Imperium fight like High Tech Conan the Barbarians!! Awesome 👌 ! Thanks for the Great narration of the story! Happy Thanksgiving from Houston!! God bless keep up the great work!
I went to sleep and found this on and finished it when i woke up
1:56:06 thats a very Imperium-Ified KV-2 and BDR G1 B ya got there
Just found out about this channel! Top work mate! Subscribed!
Great narration and happy New year .
I love how this all started because they needed to put more troops and guns on Cadia.
Imagine being some poor low level governors assistant hiding in the room where the terminators teleport in.
Talk about overkill!
