Funny Fact: Nanocrystalline Alloy is a real life thing, basically the smaller a Metals internal crystalline structure the better, smaller crystal grains make metals both tougher and harder. The process of tempering steel is to reduce the crystalline structure. Nanocrystalline steels are really only just being developed (around the last years/decades).
Not necessarily. What you're referring to is known as the Hall-Petch strengthening/grain boundary strengthening. With smaller grain sizes, the density of grain boundaries within a given volume increases and as such disrupt the motion of dislocations moving through the material. Heat treatments of metals is the most common method of altering grain size. However, once you go below a certain size threshold, the hardness and yield strength start to decrease, so its a balancing act of maintaining that range of grain size throughout the material. What's really interesting is that this also applies to ceramics, especially refractory ceramics. Typically these are high hardness, low ductility, low fracture toughness materials, but nano crystalline/nanophase ceramics are tougher, more ductile and harder than their coarser grained versions. Combining these two materials into a bulk nanocrystalline metal matrix composite or cermet would have very interesting applications in a wide variety of fields.
Fun fact There is a T'au battlesuit addon that is reverse engineered from Orkoid gravity well tech, meaning, the T'au are so good at technology. They were able to make repulser fields for their battlesuits, from ork tech
Now if only the Tau can power their weapons like Orks. Ork weaponry is questionable but so questionable that a lot of their weapons shouldn't work but they do, it is thought that this is due to the Orks belief that it works. -Tau makes a crisis suit out of scrap wood and tape Tau Earth caste: I don't think this will work Ethereal: You just have to believe like an Ork... :p
@@schoenperkins8210 the funny part is, they only *barely* reverse engineered it. Its still a testament to their ability to just big brain their issues. but they only were able to make repulsars from a gravity hook (or whatever orks call it)
The reason I joined T'au was because I see them as basically what humans were like before the War with the Men of Iron. Bright eyed starry hopefuls that haven't suffered enough to ruin them.
yessss i love the look of the tau and their insane range. I'm glad they aren't truely communist and just being tricked as well LOL :D cus communism is way too cheap to ever make anything this amazing, they couldn't even paint the buildings in the soviet union's public housing blocks lol XD just concrete - cus teh economy is worthless cus no one no longer owns their own goods and services - the government owns it :( XDDDD
Funny bit of Transformers lore, the original Transformers toys (aka gen 1) were originally designed to be mech suits and not sentient robots. This is why Ratchet's original toy looked so different to the cartoon version, and why the legendary Optimus Prime's original toy allowed you to open the cabin section of the toy. It was so you can add a tiny human pilot to the toy.
The ratchet toy looked so weird, in one rendition of g1 they were originally going to just give him a screen for a face but im so glad they took the time to create an actual head
One thing that was left out of this dex and will probably be in the FSE book is Fusion blades. Also, the prototype flamer that is also a melee weapon. Tau are adapting.
At first, the Tau had 0 noteworthy close combat option (auxiliaries not counted). But in recent years, they've developed several new and cool options and methods of using them. The Onager gauntlet, a Power Fist of enough power to give even Knight Power fists envy. The Fusion Blades, effectively the beam swords from anime coming to 40K. The new High Powered Flamer, that is a smaller version of the Fusion Blades. For now, these are experimental variants that are restricted to commanders, but like other Tau weapons, they may eventually become available for the more common Battlesuit in the Empire. Before you know it, the Tau will be using anime inspired Close Combat weapons and going toe to toe against the most deadly warriors in the galaxy in Close Combat. All in the name of progress and the Greater Good.

Talk about mecha in Warhammer universe. It makes me remember there is super robot universe that has overwhelming powerful mecha all time, anti-xenos campaign and same warhammer-like setting in far future after the story end. Yep, Getter Robo saga.
Funfact about the Tau and the Titans. In the Taros Campaign, a Warhound Scout Titan actually got head-shotted by Air Caste Tiger Shark Heavy Railgun, destroying the Titan and killing its crew. Bringing the Titan down with one shot causing the Imperial commanders to have the rest of the Titans withdraw from the battle as the Warhounds done their duty Im more curious on how would the Tau react more to bigger titans like the Warlord, i doubt a Heavy Railguns would penetrate its void shield but it does make an interesting scenario
@@poserdragon719 if that happened and tau managed to get data back to command, my guess is they would modify a manta, strip out the cargo capacity and replace it with a bank of railguns that fire in quick succession in the hopes of taking advantage of a gap in a void shield
They USED to believe that. Then they encountered a few, killed at least one during the Taros campaign, and built the supremacy armor to deal with future threats. The empire sloooowly losing its naivete is one of my favorite parts of their lore.
It's been ages since that happened. They're not only aware of the existence of titans, but are actively making weapons capable of taking titans down. The AX-1-0 Tigershark and the Tau'nar Supremacy armours are just some of the examples, with more apparently in development.
i mean the imperium in terms of stompy boys also have imperial knights. those still have that whole catch of the machine choosing you and that you can die if grandpa throne boy doesn't think you showed enough respect but details XD Tau suits are very much the best though with their high mobility. i really like the ghostkeel.
4:40 each caste has their own trial by “element name” and its different depending on which sept they come from. It does make me wonder what trials ethereals have to go through.
Obviously has something to do with unlocking their mind control abilities. The only question is whether it's Warp related, or if the specie has dormant hivemind ancestry that the Ethereals are able to reawaken.
@@PhailRaptor Since the fuckers showed up out of nowhere my bet is on some kind of geneticly modified ability. Making it warp based would be kinda lame
Mostly by avoiding direct conflict and picking up their fights just right Like they are in some kind of stale mate with the imperium since there is a big fleet of tyranids in the close proximity to the tau sector so the imperium doesn’t want to exhaust his forces against the tau leaving himself exposed to the nids The orks are easy target practice for the tau and they hadn’t met a real waaaagh yet, the orks also don’t like fighting the tau, they think they are boring (there was a story about a small ork waaaaagh that fell on a tau planet and while both were fighting the nids arrived, the ork forgot about the tau and started to fight the more entertainment enemy, the tau were slaughter by both factions once the waaagh actually heat up and the tau got caught in the crossfire, poor things didn’t know what eat them) The nids are a big problem for the tau, I remember there was a story about the dark eldar about how they came to the aid of the tau (under a disguise of a mercenary fleet) and only thanks to their help were the tau able to repel the nids fleet in their doorstep (just to get raided by the eldar and have their civilian population stole from the planet) They are really bad at dealing with the eldar, but I think they have come up on top a couple of times when they faced them head on I don’t know about any encounter with the necrons, I suspect they wouldn’t do really well
I miss the days when Tau were uncommon on the table and all people seemed to know was that they die easy. Then they get their commander in hand to hand with Farsight and realizing that he 'ignores armor' and has init5 or the always fun iridium onger gauntlet bodyguard who gets Space Marine Captains to the front of the line for Dreadnoughts.
The Ta'unar is currently the largest suit they have, and it is wholly capable of holding it's own against most titans (even more so because the Tau can actually produce them in numbers unlike the imperium). But man, the Tau actually managing to make their own proper titan would be the raddest thing ever. And it would, understandably, be incredibly powerful. Specially if they reverse engineer things from the larger class titans the imperium employs, cause they'll not only recreate it, but make it better than the imperium ever could with their whole tech heresy problem going on.
If Belisarius Cawl gets his hands on a working Crysis or Riptide Mecha suite, he would probably wish he still had working genitals that could get aroused.
Someone compared the tau to the French, they usually run from a proper fight and stay back and shoot. This is false as the tau will actually fight the enemy while the French....are from France. Great video thanks for showing more people the might of the greater good!
What's stranger is that France has one of the best War/Win records of any european power.... They get the 'run away' thing from WW1 and 2 but they were shoulder to shoulder with an enemy who used shock n awe from literally yards away.. Even wars they lost (Dien Bein Phu, which ridiculously led to the end of the Foreign Legion after a hold out of legendary proportions) showed the true mettle of the French army. England always slags off the French, yet England only exists because the French were a bullwark giving time for England to prepare.....
Imagine if the tau got their hands on the powerhouses of the Gundam franchise. The unicorn gundam would destroy titans knights and other psychic bonds because of its anti new type capabilities
That’s pretty cool farside incorporated some earth caste into a combat role, I was gonna work a few different castes into my custom kill team, so I’m glad I’m on fluff there
10:23 My idea for the T'au Titan would be to FINALLY see their Vorgh auxiliaries which are basically Xeno Kaiju described as large and tough enough to "prevail over even a super-heavy combat walker" (could also help with the T'au melee issues if the Vorgh are a melee unit)
Challange 1: 3d print one Challange 2: Make a real one Challange 3: Drive one Challange 4: test one in combat. Challange 5: kill my worst enemies and lifestream to youtube While doing so. Challange 6: get a tau gf
If you have a crisis commander with the onager gauntlet you are far more likely to succeed in your attacks if you play “shining finger sword” from G Gundam
Hell, the fuck, yes. Tau doinitrite Also, theres a 3d printed tau spider titan out there. I may or may not have printed one...or three...in their full massive size... they sell em on ebay for like 300 bucks, but just buy a 3d printer for that kinda money and you'll get more dakka for your buck.
I kitbashed my own Tau Titan from initially a Lego Bionicle for a campaign we played, that thing is a beast, I called it the Tau Leviathan. I really enjoyed how it worked like an oversized crisis suit: move, attack, move unless it wanted to fire all its weapons at once than it wouldn't move at all. I envisioned this thing to turn into a spaceship when battle was over and fly back into the stars :P
The Stormsurge is really powerful against knights, in the Warzone Mont'ka books, they were all but impossible to kill to Knights because of their superior range, damage and shields, even with support from imperial guard super heavy tanks the knights had the hardest time since the Heresy Of course, don't help that the Knights, because of their culture, unironically think that giving one of them just 2 meelee weapons and a heavy stubber is good.
@@albertrex6851 Theres already a crisis battlesuit that is basically a dreadnought i.e. a brink of death soilder....technically speaking im pretty sure in cannon hes dead though
Army of 10M of newest tau mecks show up Earth three guardsmen standing on top of each other dressed as a custody walk out of the royal palace tau die of heart attack.
Maybe if the imperium wasn’t so goddamn racist all the time and afraid that the big bad terminators are gonna come back, we could actually get some tau titans with the -mechanicum’s- *everyone’s* lust for big ass mecha titans

It makes me remember there is super robot universe that has overwhelming powerful mecha all time, anti-xenos campaign and same warhammer-like setting in far future after the story end.
Yep, Getter Robo saga.
I do find it adorable that the Tau think imperial titans are a myth and the fact they refuse to believe how big the Imperium of man truly is.
Funfact about the Tau and the Titans. In the Taros Campaign, a Warhound Scout Titan actually got head-shotted by Air Caste Tiger Shark Heavy Railgun, destroying the Titan and killing its crew. Bringing the Titan down with one shot causing the Imperial commanders to have the rest of the Titans withdraw from the battle as the Warhounds done their duty
Im more curious on how would the Tau react more to bigger titans like the Warlord, i doubt a Heavy Railguns would penetrate its void shield but it does make an interesting scenario
@@poserdragon719 if that happened and tau managed to get data back to command, my guess is they would modify a manta, strip out the cargo capacity and replace it with a bank of railguns that fire in quick succession in the hopes of taking advantage of a gap in a void shield
They USED to believe that. Then they encountered a few, killed at least one during the Taros campaign, and built the supremacy armor to deal with future threats. The empire sloooowly losing its naivete is one of my favorite parts of their lore.
@@Nukefandango wasnt the discovery of the smaller ones at the Taros campaign the kick start for the Tigershark?
It's been ages since that happened. They're not only aware of the existence of titans, but are actively making weapons capable of taking titans down. The AX-1-0 Tigershark and the Tau'nar Supremacy armours are just some of the examples, with more apparently in development.
i mean the imperium in terms of stompy boys also have imperial knights. those still have that whole catch of the machine choosing you and that you can die if grandpa throne boy doesn't think you showed enough respect but details XD
Tau suits are very much the best though with their high mobility. i really like the ghostkeel.

What I like is that they’re extremely utilitarian designs but they still look cool
Good on ya mate! You upload this just as I'm getting an interest in the hobby back. Tau have always had a special place in my heart.
4:40 each caste has their own trial by “element name” and its different depending on which sept they come from.
It does make me wonder what trials ethereals have to go through.
Obviously has something to do with unlocking their mind control abilities. The only question is whether it's Warp related, or if the specie has dormant hivemind ancestry that the Ethereals are able to reawaken.
@@PhailRaptor Since the fuckers showed up out of nowhere my bet is on some kind of geneticly modified ability. Making it warp based would be kinda lame

I still can’t wait to see the Tau discover that those titans they’ve been hearing about aren’t just Imperial propaganda.
Didn't they encounter reaver titans already?
Soldier: Sir.
Empyreal:What ?
Soldier: Imperial Titans are real and are not propaganda .
Empyreal : Contact Farsight immediately.
You're late man they know that titans are real as they literally fought warlord/imperator class titans during the damocles crusade
@@michelecastellotti9172 no.
@@jhonnoilcringeincarnato8593 I have always heard that they’ve yet to encounter titans and most tau think they aren’t real
That Onager gauntlet is amazing
Tau Battlesuits rule
How about a video about how the Tau handle Tyranids, orks and other races?
Mostly by avoiding direct conflict and picking up their fights just right
Like they are in some kind of stale mate with the imperium since there is a big fleet of tyranids in the close proximity to the tau sector so the imperium doesn’t want to exhaust his forces against the tau leaving himself exposed to the nids
The orks are easy target practice for the tau and they hadn’t met a real waaaagh yet, the orks also don’t like fighting the tau, they think they are boring (there was a story about a small ork waaaaagh that fell on a tau planet and while both were fighting the nids arrived, the ork forgot about the tau and started to fight the more entertainment enemy, the tau were slaughter by both factions once the waaagh actually heat up and the tau got caught in the crossfire, poor things didn’t know what eat them)
The nids are a big problem for the tau, I remember there was a story about the dark eldar about how they came to the aid of the tau (under a disguise of a mercenary fleet) and only thanks to their help were the tau able to repel the nids fleet in their doorstep (just to get raided by the eldar and have their civilian population stole from the planet)
They are really bad at dealing with the eldar, but I think they have come up on top a couple of times when they faced them head on
I don’t know about any encounter with the necrons, I suspect they wouldn’t do really well
@@PurpleH4z3 The Necrons never left any survivors to report back to the rest of the Tau about them.
I miss the days when Tau were uncommon on the table and all people seemed to know was that they die easy. Then they get their commander in hand to hand with Farsight and realizing that he 'ignores armor' and has init5
or the always fun iridium onger gauntlet bodyguard who gets Space Marine Captains to the front of the line for Dreadnoughts.
Love the transformers shockwave and knightmare frame aesthetic to tau crisis suits
The Ta'unar is currently the largest suit they have, and it is wholly capable of holding it's own against most titans (even more so because the Tau can actually produce them in numbers unlike the imperium).
But man, the Tau actually managing to make their own proper titan would be the raddest thing ever. And it would, understandably, be incredibly powerful. Specially if they reverse engineer things from the larger class titans the imperium employs, cause they'll not only recreate it, but make it better than the imperium ever could with their whole tech heresy problem going on.
Can I just say that most Tau suits remind me of Macross like a mix of the Variable Figthers and Destroids
The Onger Gauntlet was made and used before Farsight got his DawnBlade. Just incase people got confused.
As a Gundam fan I say all giant robots are fucking cool
Chicks dig giant robots
@@rexlumontad5644 nice
Love me some battlesuits! My Homebrew Sept has a commander who prefers the Broadside
If Belisarius Cawl gets his hands on a working Crysis or Riptide Mecha suite, he would probably wish he still had working genitals that could get aroused.
What the fuck is wrong with you gue'las? XD
He could still leak oil
Two of my fave things in one video: 40K and mecha.
"this shit ain't cheap"
tau that has estimated *BILIONS* of battle suits just on its capital world alone
1:21 The Farsight Enclave battlesuits in melee combat
That is vior'la, not sure how they got fusion blades tho, perhaps Farsight smuggled some to them too.
Someone compared the tau to the French, they usually run from a proper fight and stay back and shoot. This is false as the tau will actually fight the enemy while the French....are from France.
Great video thanks for showing more people the might of the greater good!
What's stranger is that France has one of the best War/Win records of any european power.... They get the 'run away' thing from WW1 and 2 but they were shoulder to shoulder with an enemy who used shock n awe from literally yards away.. Even wars they lost (Dien Bein Phu, which ridiculously led to the end of the Foreign Legion after a hold out of legendary proportions) showed the true mettle of the French army. England always slags off the French, yet England only exists because the French were a bullwark giving time for England to prepare.....

0:03 Michael Bay's Transformers design inferior
Travis Knight's Transformers design superior
Naah too chonky and too thicc. They are also pretty small
Imagine if the tau got their hands on the powerhouses of the Gundam franchise. The unicorn gundam would destroy titans knights and other psychic bonds because of its anti new type capabilities
I love how the word “onager” is another word for donkey, so the Tau have donkey punch gauntlets.
Ass-whooping gauntlets
Even the weakest of them can kick Failbaddon's ass
Another good reason to make guilliman make a bullshit excuse to make someone able to construct new things

Imagine the guns on dat boi
@@thedyingmeme6 with railguns probably can snipe target from another planet
You mean besides the tau'nar?
The Earthcaste already dimised suits that big as impractical. Thats why the Manta and Tigershark exist
@@carlzerris6566 they also thought that titans aren't real one way or another they're inevitably gonna end up making titans
The Tau are a fascinating race. Their cohesiin and aggressive develooment make them a major player in the universe.
Major Kill calls Gundam "cartoon".
Weebs: *so you have chosen death!*
That’s pretty cool farside incorporated some earth caste into a combat role, I was gonna work a few different castes into my custom kill team, so I’m glad I’m on fluff there
Doubt it but I wonder if we'll get a video on the Eight best pilots for mechas if you catch my drift.
I like to imagine some alternate universe where humans and Tau design a robot that goes full Gundam, carrying lots of dakka and a lightsaber.
Mhhh nothing like a new majorkill video during lunchbreak
2:45 I have not had a single thought about T-Series for years now.
10:23 My idea for the T'au Titan would be to FINALLY see their Vorgh auxiliaries which are basically Xeno Kaiju described as large and tough enough to "prevail over even a super-heavy combat walker" (could also help with the T'au melee issues if the Vorgh are a melee unit)

Hopefully one day we go full anime and get a melee centric suit. That'd be sweet.
If you have a crisis commander with the onager gauntlet you are far more likely to succeed in your attacks if you play “shining finger sword” from G Gundam
Hell, the fuck, yes. Tau doinitrite
Also, theres a 3d printed tau spider titan out there. I may or may not have printed one...or three...in their full massive size... they sell em on ebay for like 300 bucks, but just buy a 3d printer for that kinda money and you'll get more dakka for your buck.
I kitbashed my own Tau Titan from initially a Lego Bionicle for a campaign we played, that thing is a beast, I called it the Tau Leviathan. I really enjoyed how it worked like an oversized crisis suit: move, attack, move unless it wanted to fire all its weapons at once than it wouldn't move at all. I envisioned this thing to turn into a spaceship when battle was over and fly back into the stars :P
Majorkill: "Good'ay guis and guls!"
Me: "ʰᵉˡˡᵒʷ"
The Stormsurge is really powerful against knights, in the Warzone Mont'ka books, they were all but impossible to kill to Knights because of their superior range, damage and shields, even with support from imperial guard super heavy tanks the knights had the hardest time since the Heresy
Of course, don't help that the Knights, because of their culture, unironically think that giving one of them just 2 meelee weapons and a heavy stubber is good.

What are Tau Battlesuits? MOBILE - AGILE - HOSTILE!
Petition to add the onager gauntlet, or a mini version of it, as a weapon option for Farsight Enclaves battlesuits.
It would be cool if we got a transformers like race in 40k i always like them, or just bring the man of iron back in some way .
Hahah every time he says Tau subtitles said towel 🤣
You should consider doing the other mechas from the other factions. Like the imperial knights.
Diverse cast “only uses 1/5 for fighting”
Onager gauntlet roughly translates to Donkey Punch.
Battlesuits always remind me of the Knightmare Frame from Code Geass
