@@TospikKing they kinda are. The only 2 races you could make an argument for are the aeldari (you know....the race that gave birth to a literal chaos god ) , and the tau (who brainwash and sterilize their citizens). The rest are literal cosmic horror.
The humans are the least of those horrors? Imagina being a necron and waking up from a 40k years nap and realizing while you were sleeping some apes took over the universe, started enhanching themselves and becoming horrible 8 foot tall superstrong apes with armors and horrible guns, and they literally put a new God in the Warp who's crushing it in there and battling the other Chaos Gods... And winning... Like... We think Warhammer humans are cute just because we are humans. If I was any other race I would be scared to death by humans. Unless I was an ork. I guess orks are happy with whatever outcome comes next.
Fun fact about Dreadnoughts. They usually only get woken up just before battle. So that's 10K years of straight up war that it has experienced in life.
Yes, and no - because they spend so much time asleep it's impossible to tell how many years of experience they've got. Like the Chaos Legionaries who retreated to the Eye Of Terror, where time (on average) goes 10x faster (according to the Abbadon books). Abbadon: 'Sigsmund! It's been a hot century! Good to see you! You.. look old.' Sigsmund: 'I've been waiting a thousand years for this, monster.'
Dude, that's not how being 10k years old works, and the Horus Heresy only occurred 10k years ago in the timeline. You can't be much older than that or else you go into the pre-Imperium era. xD He was ten thousand years old, but was woken up at specific points during that span. So his total battle time would only be a few days/weeks every few years. Dreads spend the vast majority of their time sleeping. Which is still a lot of experience if repeated over such a span, but no where near a solid 10k of active duty.
You used the right method but got the wrong answer. They only get woken up for war, so even if they’ve been alive for 10k years, they’ve probably only been awake for a centuries of actual war.
@@adrenjones9301 why tho? Humanity did well before the age of strife - and they couldve avoided it if they knew about chaos The aeldari were thriving before they *decided* to become depraved as all hell The emperor couldve avoided the decline of the imperium if he treated everyone, *especially* his *sons* as human beings instead of tools The 40k galaxy is evil for evils sake, and the tau are proof that not every evil is necessary Yeah they do some pretty bad shit, and its pretty much only justifiable in the 40k universe, but, unlike the imperium, they dont go out of their way to be horrific
@@trumansshadow3652 votann have used ai for an insane amount of time and it never rebelled Taus ai also doesnt rebel And no, ive been in the lore for 6-7 years by now
The Tau have a lot of these moments where they realize just how bad the imperium is. For example, a Tau spaceship captain, after destroying an imperial ship, commented on how advanced imperial AI must be to control the massive ships the imperium uses. Only then did a human tau auxiliary inform the captain that the imperium doesn't use AI, and that the ships are instead manned by entire cities worth of crew. The Tau captain had a mild mental breakdown over this, as he realized that each destroyed imperial ship was practically genocide.
@@boomznbladez405 Its both. And also realizing how alien The Imperium is to them. Itd be like finding out Nasa still hires 100 women to do the minute-to-minute calculations for their manned space missions, instead of using a computer. If you don't know about their AI uprising, then you'd be no clue why they'd do something so inefficiently and put so many citizens at risk.
Dude... If i would be a Tau, the existentialism i would be getting would've been "These mf's have been around for THAT long and we're already closing in on them technologically?"
If they had any sense they would ask what great filter keeps hard locking progress. They are steaming head first into an AI uprising, the interest of chaos, a regressive caste system or enslavement by the first of many species that could hijack their leadership. So far their denial of chaos after discovering it doesn't bode well for the other hurdles coming.
Their realisation is even more visceral than just the realisation that the imperium is a stagnant mess: In the scene in question, a tau commander is the one to find the wreck, the tau previously believed dreadnoughts to be war drones, machines without pilots, due to their design. However he comes across a broken wreck and finds the exposed pilot still alive. This is when he first learns the truth about what dreadnoughts, and he’s immediately horrified by the inhumanity of its existence and what it’s suffered. He’s then doubly horrified when he realises that the being living this wretched existence has been *suffering it for longer than the tau have existed.* He kills it and it’s more or less presented from his perspective as a mercy kill, granting a final end to the abomination
It's less than OP and more like fucked up It's closer to fortnite kids or non-gamers going to Conan last exile or something. Like everyone else is already desensitized to the whole fuckuppetry but you're still adjusting in this fucked up world. Like legit the Tau feels like the representative of us modern 20th century human. They legit will say "WDYM you guys shove a near dead body inside a machine coffin and force him to fight for eternity?" Or "Why can't we please just talk it out instead of blasting each other brain?" Or just "WTF is corpse starch?!".
If I'm remembering the story right, it was a tau soldier who came across a defeated dreadnaught. The dreadnaught's corpse was hanging from the casket and was STILL ALIVE and coughing out insults and threats before the tau soldier finally ended him.
That same Tau commander was eventually badly burnt, then interred in his battlesuit like a dreadnought after the Earth Caste reverse engineered the technology.
Bro imagine doing so well in the game where if you die somewhere at the end of the game you have a chance of becoming a dreadnought and you unlock a endless mode where you just fight the next mission, sleep, then fight the next mission over and over until your character dies again.
*OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE* That's all I can think about with this gamemode. You literally just go from battleground to battleground tearing shit up until you die. (Also 24 hour SP in Warframe be like)
I've never imagined an alien race feeling what cosmic horror is. "My oldest soldiers are older than your empire, but my race is older than your last common genetic ancestors, and we're not the oldest here..."
The same way we think about the Tau is the same way the Eldar and the Necrons think of humanity. It's a little different on the time scale. The dinosaurs just died when the "War in Heaven" was taking place.
And then you get the horror of finding out about the Tyrranids. A race of bio organic monsters that constantly evolve and adapt to everything and anything, that appeared in this galaxy. From four opposite sides of the galaxy. Basically inferring, that the Milky Way Galaxy where 40k takes place, is surrounded by numerous galaxies of Tyrranids.
@@GentleGiantJoe Right now the Tyranids are the apex predator and the main threat to the Milky Way but, they're not the most powerful threat...the Necrons on their own could obliterate the entire galaxy only by pressing a little hologram on a table.
IF the Tau actually thought about it, they'd realize that despite being only 6k years old, they're pretty much already caught up to the point that they're playing with the big boys and holding their own. At that rate, in just another 1k years, they'll rule the galaxy.
Until the Necrons all wake up and bash them into the dirt. they can’t rule the galaxy with 60 year life spans and their current technological status, even if it advanced the Necrons are so powerful that to them, reality itself is a plaything. This comment was brought to you by the Infinite Empire.
@@LordCrate-du8zm Good point. But at the rate the Tau are going, if the Necrons take their time, the Tau might just learn to overcome the limitations you listed. As you said, their current tech status is already such that they're holding against civilizations MUCH older. Compared to 6k years ago, everyone else had pretty much relatively stagnated.
the tau once tried to take over a imperial world, a space marine chapter showed up, called for a minor crusade, and crushed their border planets, pushed into their inner core, and only left to deal with the nids after scarying the piss out of the entire species. any sort of actual crusade against them would be a 100 year war of pure genocide, the imperium just has too much on it's plate to even consider it with like 3-4 hive fleets, a black crusade, a fuck off massive orc wagh going hard, and more and more necrons waking up.
@@HoundOfGod I hear you. The Tau and Eldar are my least favorite factions. I'm an Ork and Man man myself. But, again, given the rate at which the Tau are growing I'm afraid my boys would find themselves on the losing end before too long. Not that the lore will actually see it to that end, of course.
You do understand, you just described Israel and they, never won a single war on their own and their method, of conquest, was attacking against the victims of war, the women and the children(i.e the two million German Christian children in Berlin 1945 - 48, when USA and GBR agree, to stay away from Berlin), mass murdering whole Christian population, with communism, in RUSSIA, TO ROB THEM ALL... And later, the neo jews play victims, like it justify destroying 54 million lives, for the less than one million neo jew casualties, in the war, THE NEO JEWS THEMSELVES STARTED 1934, by printing the official declaration of war vs Germany and for a FACT, HIRED BOTH, ADOLF HITLER AND CHURCHILL, TO GET THEIR VICTIM NARRATION, to be able to keep, everything the neo jews stole from the mass murdered CHRISTIANS!!! The atheist, neo jew commie criminals, didnt just pay the whole political career of Adolf Hitler, in to power, they ALSO TOOK CARE OF HITLERS HEALTH, KEPT HIM UNDER ALL KIND OF DRUGS, WEIRD TREATMENTS, SEXUAL ABUSE AND SUBSTANCES. And if the neo jews wanted, they could have killed Hitler, WHEN EVER THEY WANTED and no one, could have even blamed the neo jews, after Hitler would die in to heart attack. = The ISRAELIS, would be the most shameful, dishonourable, cowards and scammers, that only the Tyranids would love, to have as PARASITE CLASS, cause they really are literal GENESTEALERS, INBREEDS AND WITHOUT A SPEC OF INTELLECTUAL HONESTY OR RESPECT, FOR ANOTHER LIVING BEING. PS. Yes, I just called Israelis and the neo jews as PARASITES, cause that is the very definition, how the neo jews invaded CHRISTIAN WEST. But the only question, I would ask from either, from the Americans or from the British, "So, you must have your daily life, in your country, infinite more better now, when you even fought side by side with the commies, to get all those criminals freed. in to CHRISTIAN WEST, *WITH THE STOLEN LOOT, FROM 100 MILLION RUSSIAN CHRISTIANS AND 54 MILLION MORE, FROM THE WW2!?" Cause, I have never even heard anyone of you, even trying to expose JEWISH CRIMINALS or to contradict any of their so obvious lies, like the Auschwitz holocaust myth... HELL, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU, EVER EVEN BROUGHT UP, THE JEWS CAN LIE TOO, FOR THEIR PROFIT!!! GEEZ!
@@tmtfa6856But they are young though! Mankind is almost 55 thousand years old (as a civilization) the Orks are, at least, 60 million years old and so are the eldari, Chaos Gods were born after the War between the Old Ones and the Necron (almost 100 million years ago). And the Necrons are even older than all of them...
Well the Tau's planet was isolated by Warp storms, wich prevented any contact or interference/interactions/attacks from outsiders. While they where fighting amongst themselves at first the Ethereals managed to broke a peace between the different tribes, uniting them under one banner and turn their focus into One direction, advancing their civilisation. It is often joked that the Tau's are the Space Communists of 40k. Thats cause their Caste systeme actually divide and assigne the tau's jobs and proffesions from early on with no way to change it. They know that whatever they do is for the "Greater Good" so they don't have the concept of "conflict of interests", no "carreer paths to choose", their superior says that you are to become a Janitor, so you'll be a janitor for the rest of your life, and since you know it is your "calling" You'll become the BEST Janitor this galaxy has ever seen! They don't question it, they don't even think about it, so they all go and do their work with high motivations levels and shit gets done (there might be some brainwashing going on cause of how the Ethereals lead the Tau's, but thats like one of the 40k's Mysteries, we don't know for sure, but there's kilometres of stuff being written about as fan theories goes) And so they managed to get where they are in a "mere" 6000 years.
I mean, human written history is only about 5,000 years old, yes I know we have been around much much longer. But my point is that we have really only started rapidly progressing for the last 5,000 years, and in say another 1,000 years, who's to say where we could be, if we even exist still that is
@@Green13Gaming nah, Imperium propaganda and bad writing aside Dreads ain't nothing, the only one worth anything are redemptors. Basic Dreads are just heavy fire support like a Bradley for Infantry, they're just walking bunkers that do a lot better fighting Orks, other Marines, or Tyranids Issue is they're two slow and too large to fight Tau, Eldar or Necrons reliably having to get into melee to truly be effective...which any veteran 40k player will tell you is impossible against the Tau Anyway Tldr Redemptors are based and there's a reason Dreadnoughts been real quiet since the Tau Railgun was made
@@SGTWashington1was looking for this comment, bro, just showing up at melee distance with Tau and Eldar is a fkn miracle, that Dread will show up at fighting distance looking like a pasta strainer 😂
Sorta? They did have a golden age prior to 40k but it still wasn't fast as the taus rate of tech It's insane how tau went from sticks and stones to rail guns and mechs in 6000 years
it did not take humanity 341k to be advanced. Infact humanity was very advanced during 15k to 30k until they got fucked up by the rebellion of their own creation the men of iron and then the birth of Slaneesh which fucked up warp travel which isolated a lot of human colonies with most of them regressing to a primitive state.
@@westerwald3923my man. He means that for us. Primitive humans evolved around 300k years ago. And the 40k universe is in the 40th millennium after now. Being the 21st century. Hence 341k years
As a T’au player, my favorite lore was when the T’au were first introduced and were really naive about the galaxy. Watching them learn about the absolute horrors of the galaxy was such a delight.
And then that time they though they had killed Slaanesh, or that other time they thought they had killed the emperor himself. "Ohh, that was a big demon, must've been the god, right?" "Ohh, that was a high ranked space marine, must've been the top dog, the emperor himself, right?"
@@mikkelnpetersen To be honest, its a reasonable estimate from a position of not knowing anything about the setting. Its always more rational to think about the scale that you are on.
Lol the tau do not get FU form the universe moment yet, every race got aleast one. Elder got the Lanesh, necro born as a dying race, and them being trick into turning themselves into soulless robot, human got 3, ai civil war, the end of the dark of technology, Horus heresy, the orc got the downgrade form Groc to orc
@@khanhnguyen-tt3ff then again, they are still a minor faction. They are still very much far away from their "greatness". Their entire schtick is that while everyone else is getting worse, the tau are getting better, and I personally think they are gonna become the next major "imperium like" superpower
@@khanhnguyen-tt3ffunlike other species however they are very...very young. They haven't quite gotten to an age where they are likely to be smacked down to reality as to everyone else, including chaos they are just kids threatening you woth a wooden sword, there are more pressing matters and their youth allows them to have not tried the test of time
That's the actual main thing they were horrified by, yes. There was surprise at it's age of course, but all of this "existential crisis" stuff you hear people repeat is just imperial circle jerk nonsense.
That said Chapter Master Corvin Severax is from the Raven Guard so a very big deal to take down a daunted warrior from the first founding chapter. Unfortunately, Severax was trick by wise tactic of Shadowsun. Though, Raven Guard is now stronger with their new Chapter Master Keyvaan Shrike.
I remember that. The Tau, under the leadership of Shadowsun, had thrown their best at the Astartes. When they eventually slew the leader of those Space Marines, the Tau were proud to have finally defeated The Emperor of Mankind. They thought they had slain the Imperium’s highest ranking leader and that this would throw humanity into disarray, but it was only the Chapter Master.
Haha i guess chapter masters are quite high in rank. They are technically 3rd(emperor-> primarch -> chapter master) in rank in straight line through Primarch(not including different factions like inquisitors, custodes, adeptus machanicus etc). But yeah probably not even close to fall of mankind haha
I mean I am pretty sure it’s only that about space marines as their loyalty is like massive, it would be just impossible to convert that but I am pretty sure humans and human worlds have followed the tau
What are you talking about? Humans absolutely can be converted to the Tau empire. The whole reason the Damocles Crusade was launched was because Imperial planets were defecting to the Tau
@@rickfastly2671 to protect all ..what, 5 quadrillion people of the human empire from chaos would be harder than making the emperor get up right this very instant, even the greatests psykers are exposed to the chaos gods and are nearly constantly battling to not be consumed, cant imagine what a normal human in a edge world hiveworld has to go through if a chaos adjacent being even glances their way...the tau tho, yeah the empire is shit, am waiting for big E to get up and say "fuck it, i'll do it myself" and just end all oposition and likely recruit the tau, i dont see why the emperor would be against that tbh
I’m guessing surviving that long in 40K is like unheard of isn’t? Edit: according to the fanbase the answer to this question is: no it very heard of depending on the race
Rare for Humans, but there are Eldar that are older than the birth of Slannesh (30M, give or take) among both the Craftworlders and the Dark Eldar, the Necrons are *millions* of years old, and the Tyranids are a timeless hive mind. There *are* however Chaos Space Marines who are old enough to remember the Emperor of Mankind as an actual man and not a corpse-god, but the ones that actually care or are coherent enough to remark on it are incredibly few. The oldest named human aside from the Emperor himself is a Dreadnought of the Space Wolves, Bjorn the Fell-Handed, who is over 10,000 years old and was a companion to the Primarch Leman Russ himself. The Tau are basically infants in an ancient and decrepit galaxy that is stubbornly killing itself yet too angry to actually die.
Define “surviving”? To become a dreadnaught you literally have to die. And there not be enough of you left to remake a human. But your brain be too valuable to lose. So they shove you in a thick steeled life support coffin to pump your brain juices. That dreadnaught could have been shredded a dozen times in those 10,000 years. Just for it to be rebuilt like lego. He is neither surviving or comfortable. He is simply existing as a cog In the machine.
Yes and no Average guardsmen expected life expectancy(mmm, emglimsh) on the front is 16 hours Chaos gods are immortal(as long as they are fed) The emperor is technically immortal(1. As long as he is fed 10,000 souls a day, 2. If he dies then he just regenerates or something I forgot[he's an immortal, the race not the attribute, aka he's just that guy]) Some dreadnought burn their pilots out quickly, others sustain them for thousands upon thousands of years It all hinges on who, what and where you are
There is the whole 'genre' of stories called variously 'humans are space orcs' or 'humanity f* yea'. A lot of them are pretty mid and rely on the aliens finding Earth to be a death world for some reason.
@@krinkrin5982 there were some good one's and some original one's that established the genre, but then every talentless fanfic writer out there learned that they could get more attention slapping the label on their work while repeating tropes without much story behind it.
@@MC-qu9jw I think my favorite one is where an alien delegation wants to honor a human pilot who sacrificed himself to save their ship, gets really angry when almost nobody on earth cares, then discovers this behavior is commonplace for the species, in contrast to the terminally selfish aliens. It's actually believable that a species would think this way, and have culture shock because of it. It also doesn't make humans to be some sort of unbelievable badass for the sake of it.
Now that I realize it,t’au appeared after the fall of the Aeldari,wich means that they never got to know the galaxy before the eye of terror appeared,which is kinda sad
Well, only the Old Ones were the ones who saw a galaxy in its prime. After the War in Heaven everything just went to $#@! Just to say, in the first days of humankind the warp was already a chaotic place due to all of the brutal emotions the sentient species suffered millions of years ago...
Not quite how it happened but close enough. In short a tau mech pilot manages to take down a dreadnaught but then notices that among the oil and other fluids leaking from the damage is blood. After getting closer he Tau is able to see inside and realizes to his horror that the the mangled remains of a space marine are fused into the dreadnaught to pilot it. While scanning the (still living) marine inside he realizes that the wounds that put it in the dreadnaught in the first place were inflicted before his civilization was ever formed. Meanwhile the marine inside basically tells the tau "kill me now or I'll hunt you down".
@@Daniel_Roach, Some Alien race just uplifting they're race, I think the Etherials are not Tau or some of them worship some unknown God or something that help they're technology advance 300,000,000× faster than mankind.
They have overall better tech. But their best cannot compete with the best of the Imperium. Not even close.And that's not taking into account the Dark Age technologies that are still around.
😂 is this the same race that tried to take over a marines mind and at the end of the experiment they came to the conclusion that they will never be able to convert a space marine due to the sheer and utter loyalty to the empire?
@minkmonk5387 I thought he killed himself by pushing the muscles in his chest together to squish his 2 hearts into each other and kill himself because he believed he the tau were going to study him
@@godoffire420yearsago IIRC, he basically willed his hearts to stop, while Tau "psychics" were rooting around in his mind. This also stopped their hearts.
the only thing they could get from his mind was him repeating his Rank, Name, and which Chapter he was from, followed by "You will not break my will!" Once he realized just how many Tau were in his head, he said "I will do my duty." before pushing his hearts into Cardiac Arrest. Space Marines have been on the Tau's "Kill on Sight" list ever since.
@@domschra Of course! There is clearly no better way to win and fight wars than to send billions of your own men to die, while also being forced to use ten thousand year old relics.

That’s why I think 40k is so cool. In most sci-fi universes humans are always the young, dumb, but industrious civilization. But in Warhammer we have history, ancient culture, and cool af
Thing i find funny about this is that the Tau believed that The Imperium was infact the new ones to space as well as viewing humanity as primitive (like the Eldar do albeit the Eldar ARE actually old enough to back up their views unlike the Tau... But they also brought a chaos god into being so their opinion doesn't matter either) to boot only to find out The Imperium had been around FAR longer than they have
@@beastwarsFTW They have yes, there are even instances where the Tau and Necrons temporarily worked together only for the Necrons to turn around and slaughter them when the alliance was over
@@beastwarsFTW tau are aware of the existence of necrons but that's about it. They have no clue just how dangerous the necrons are on a galactic scale or how vast their empire and understanding of technology is. The only race that truly understands the necrons are the eldar.
I've always loved tau perspective cause it does the imperium service some of the oldest lived tau are 200 years old maybe and most space Marines are like 75+ years old and normal humans get to be 300 years old sometimes if not older
I mean… you _could_ see it that way. But that firefight was because they got caught in the open and the Tau had numbers and range on their side. In 6000 years they’ve been able to stand at a distance and shoot at Space Marines until they died, whereas for the past 10,000 the Space Marines have been able to stand toe to toe with the galaxy’s worst.
And keep in mind, he was just a run in and shoot them guy. A man older than your entire civilization was just a ground troop. Edit: Ok let me rephrase, dreadnaughts are not just ground troops. The point is they let the 10,000 year old ancient people continue to fight despite having 10,000 years of experience to share. Also dreadnaughts are not that special, new ones can and will be made. The reason people think they can't be made anymore are because those models are far more complex, the imperium have made new dreadnaughts however they burn out the pilot insanely fast.
A dreadnought is not "just a ground troop". It's tech so old and complex the Imperium can't comprehend it fully, let alone replicate. When one falls, it is an enormous tragedy, especially with its remains being scavenged by xenos.
@@andrewf6111 Yeah, the amount of dreadnoughts that each chapter has aren’t usually exactly numerous too, atleast for 40K standards. And they’re usually very highly respected, basically seen as the older brothers/seniors/veterans of the chapter.
Its way worse than that too. Like they opened it up and saw the state of the marine, and figured out that he was entombed in this machine because he was too damaged to live otherwise but was also unable to finally die. Dreadnoughts are like robocop, if it was way more fucked up but yet they didnt remove his control and humanity.
Bit older than 6000 Years. They were found 6,000 Years ago and that is when they mastered fire and wheels, being in the Stone Age. They’re much older than 6,000. Just not their current civilization. It took us 3.4 Million Years based off of what I’ve found on google to reach the Stone Age. If they’re learning faster, it’s still longer than the dreadnought’s been alive.

Yeah, still waiting on that. Has been several hundred years now, and still no second crusade. The Tau have conquered dozens of worlds from the Imperium and continue to encroach on their territory. Meanwhile the Imperium has lost almost half of it's territory to chaos.
I remember that. It was in the novel *Blade of Damocles* during the 1st Damocles Gulf Crusade on the sept world of dal’yth. I remember the pilot initially just wanted some data to bring to the earth caste about space marines so decided to use a spike on the suit that was primarily used for capturing info on new planets.
They also discovered the grim dark of Empirium(ilI don't know if I type is right) upon they opening the sarcophagus of the dreadnought, they discovered the disfigured remain of the space marine, still alive and they saw the hatred of that space marine to the Tau.
You do understand, you just described Israel and they, never won a single war on their own and their method, of conquest, was attacking against the victims of war, the women and the children(i.e the two million German Christian children in Berlin 1945 - 48, when USA and GBR agree, to stay away from Berlin), mass murdering whole Christian population, with communism, in RUSSIA, TO ROB THEM ALL...

TBH for being a new race, I gotta give them props for being able to catch up with most of the other technology advances, because Humans haven't grown since the horus Heresey, Necrons are perfect, Orcs somehow use trash as armor and weapons, Demons steal any tech their infecting, Aldarians and Drukkians are elves, Votan...are dwarves (idk much about the elves and dwarves tech) Minotaur steal weapons from other races as trophys, so yeah I gotta give it to the Tau for being the first and only race to join the other small races as 1 army
It's actually quite badass that the Tau caught up so quick. They will probably win out in the long run as the Empire eats itself, Eldar die out and the Necrons depart from the galaxy. Them, Orks and Tyranids are the ones who decide how the Milkey Way shapes out.
While the Eldar could die out. Necrons don't want to leave the galaxy. The Silent King is looking to destroy the Tyranid because he wants to find a way for the Necrons to possess another species in order to regain organic bodies. But can't do that if the Nids eat everything. And then they want to wipe out or subjugate all other life because Necrons feel they are the rightfully owners of the milky-way after winning the war in heaven. Eldar have plans for getting rid of she who thirsts but keep failing. Also the only people they don't body tech wise is necrons and each other. Tau got good tech but Eldar and Necrons have tech from literally gods at the dawn of time. And then there is the webway...
There’s a literal star map of the entire Milky Way galaxy the Necrons possess that grants them the ability to wipe entire systems from existence if they so choose… that’s only one of the weapons they considered safe to keep. Emphasis on the words one of.
Humanity once had weapons that could erase stars, terraform planets in days. Literally lock on and force you BACK IN TIME to be hit, negating PRECOGNITION, WHILE tracking you in a warp area you CANT be tracked in. The Tau are looking at a race that is so old it is in massive decline and decay, and it still kicks their ass ona daily basis. Thats why they were freaked out, the fear that a species so advanced, could become so horrific. Also the fear of what might happen if humanity pulled its head out of its ass.
Well, that's one way to look at it. On the flipside, what will the might be of the Tau be in 500 years, 1000, 5000 years? As mentioned, they are a relativly young race compared to everyone else. But they are catching up real fast....
What’s wild to me is recorded history is like 5000 years, oldest human remains are like around 200 000ish depending on the study. The tau (sp?) seem pretty damn cool if they’re doing what they’re doing 6000 years into their existence 😮
@@GermanShible I am not that much into Warhammer 40k, just some lore videoes and some 'if the emperor had TTS'. But I do know quite a bit of human history, as I studied archeology. While the oldest found remain are now speculated to be around about 233.000 years old (The 'Omo 1 bones'). The question I do not knew is... Is the 5.000 years, in regards to the Tau. What do they mean by _'Recorded History'_ ? Is that Tau remains that have been recorded or their oldest written records. Then we can compare it to human history. As in: Remains found vs agricultural development vs societies with written history and laws vs societies post industrial/electric/atomic/space travel.
@@Thule21It's weird, in the old lore the Tau had the almost same skull structure as the necron, arguably the oldest race in the galaxy It's wasn't explained why but it was just referenced by a necron lord after he picked up a tau skull What we do know though is that tau were first found 6000 years prior to be cavemen, but warpstorms came in and forced the research teams to jus leave the tau, expecting they died. After a while the tau was later to be found expanding after the warpstorms cleared now on a clearly higher tech scale. The Tau were able to go from sticks and stones to mechs and rail guns in 6000 years
@@GermanShible 6000 years since humans first discovered the tau as a primitive stoneage species. their rate of advancement is nonetheless impressive but nobody knows how long they have existed before being discovered.

@@Finnegan-hb6gv I don't see how that works. Imagine you're fighting a war in the curreny day, and they send old men wielding 200 year old muskets against you. Its not particularly horror.

@@requiemagent3014 No. Dislike the Tau all you want, but not how it happened. The tech doesn't even slightly match. The Tau just aren't afraid to reverse engineer and use allies, plus being special bred for certain tasks helps a lot. Like Earth caste for example.

@@requiemagent3014 6000 years is plenty of time to develop such tech. It's not that the Tau are crazy advanced, it's that the rest of 40k is horrifically stagnant and has regressed to the point they barely know how to use their own tech, let alone build more of it.
Probably other way around, but its more like an inspiration. Dreadnoughts are still controlled by a human pilot. Guttertanks just use a human "nearly a corpse" as a fuel source.
95% of everything ever said about the Tau is misinformation that has been repeatedly skewed by imperial fanboy circle jerks, so to be fair, he had pretty low odds on this one. (And it was mostly true here. Just not the "existential crisis" nonsense.)
Honestly, i think its a morality boost. Yes, you are new and dropped into the war that started before anything on your planet ever crawled with life, BUT IT CAN BE BEATEN. The dead abomination in front of them proves this A big W for tau
That dreadnought is now in a museum being gawked at by blue school kids, so, yep. Also no one ever tells the parts about how shocked and caught in disarray Space Marines were the first time they fought crisis suits. Every searing flash of blue resulting in another battle brother instantly obliterated. Here's an excerpt from Blades of Damocles, if you're interested. [[[ There was a crack of impact as a crimson xenos warsuit thumped down in front of Antaloch. It pressed the muzzle of its energy rifle to his helmet. The Apothecary froze. The alien assassin filled his vision, huge and lethal. Thin pennants fluttered from its armour like elongated purity seals. The figure would have dwarfed a Terminator, perhaps even a Centurion. ‘It is unclear,’ stated the giant in stilted Low Gothic, its hidden speakers giving it something uncannily like a real voice. ‘You must know this one does not live, ministrator-medic-equivalent.’ ‘Aye,’ growled Antaloch, ‘and yet his due must be given.’ ‘Despite the high percentile chance of sustaining lethal damage during your ministrations.’ ‘Just so,’ said the Apothecary. He fought a strong urge to put his hand over the precious gene-seed flasks at his waist. Even as the din of battle thundered around them, a moment of stillness passed between the two warriors. ‘Your stance is defence-oriented, yet not indicative of self-preservation,’ stated the xenos warsuit. Before Antaloch could reply, a pair of bolter shells detonated behind the giant figure, staggering it for a moment. It whipped a square-barrelled blaster around to obliterate the Space Marine running in behind it in a storm of searing light. Despite the distraction, its energy rifle did not move one inch from Antaloch’s helm. ‘A theory. During the death ritual, you recover a substance and-or information code that your warrior caste considers vital.’ Antaloch stared up at the towering figure, but said nothing. ‘Interesting,’ said the xenos giant. ‘Proceed then, by all means.’ Raising its rifle in brief salute, the battlesuit shot up into the skies on twin tongues of flame. The Apothecary watched the alien’s departure for a second, blinking in disbelief before patching into his command squad’s private vox-net. ‘Captain Sevelliac? When this is over, we need to talk.’ ]]]
If the Tau existed during the Golden Age of Humanity, they probably would have been a trade partner or literally wiped off the face of the galaxy. Golden Age Humans are probably my favorite part about Warhammer, cause it makes you remember how ADVANCED humanity was, from having an entire race of AI serving that ended in rebellion, to literally having developed the original Imperial Knights as mining and lumber machines. There's pictures of how their colony ships looked due to a story where a colony ship came out of the warp after 25-30,000 years. It HATED the Imperium of Man
Lost in a battle, but give an entire species EXISTENTIAL CRISIS

@@TospikKing they kinda are. The only 2 races you could make an argument for are the aeldari (you know....the race that gave birth to a literal chaos god ) , and the tau (who brainwash and sterilize their citizens). The rest are literal cosmic horror.

The humans are the least of those horrors?
Imagina being a necron and waking up from a 40k years nap and realizing while you were sleeping some apes took over the universe, started enhanching themselves and becoming horrible 8 foot tall superstrong apes with armors and horrible guns, and they literally put a new God in the Warp who's crushing it in there and battling the other Chaos Gods... And winning...
Like... We think Warhammer humans are cute just because we are humans. If I was any other race I would be scared to death by humans.
Unless I was an ork. I guess orks are happy with whatever outcome comes next.
Fun fact about Dreadnoughts. They usually only get woken up just before battle. So that's 10K years of straight up war that it has experienced in life.
Yes, and no - because they spend so much time asleep it's impossible to tell how many years of experience they've got.
Like the Chaos Legionaries who retreated to the Eye Of Terror, where time (on average) goes 10x faster (according to the Abbadon books).
Abbadon: 'Sigsmund! It's been a hot century! Good to see you! You.. look old.'
Sigsmund: 'I've been waiting a thousand years for this, monster.'
Dude, that's not how being 10k years old works, and the Horus Heresy only occurred 10k years ago in the timeline. You can't be much older than that or else you go into the pre-Imperium era. xD
He was ten thousand years old, but was woken up at specific points during that span. So his total battle time would only be a few days/weeks every few years. Dreads spend the vast majority of their time sleeping. Which is still a lot of experience if repeated over such a span, but no where near a solid 10k of active duty.
That’s sounds fun
Some are awoken to retell takes of war they've gone through
You used the right method but got the wrong answer. They only get woken up for war, so even if they’ve been alive for 10k years, they’ve probably only been awake for a centuries of actual war.
The worst bit for the T'au is that until that point they assumed dreadnought were robots.

Imagine killing something that was actually hard to kill and realizing that it is nearly double the age of your entire lineage combined.
The Tau have a lot of these moments where they realize just how bad the imperium is.
For example, a Tau spaceship captain, after destroying an imperial ship, commented on how advanced imperial AI must be to control the massive ships the imperium uses.
Only then did a human tau auxiliary inform the captain that the imperium doesn't use AI, and that the ships are instead manned by entire cities worth of crew.
The Tau captain had a mild mental breakdown over this, as he realized that each destroyed imperial ship was practically genocide.
And was almost dead to begin with 😂
@@jurajsintaj6644 it isnt about the t'au realizing how bad the imperium is, its about the t'au realizing how young their species is.
Then finding out that there are even bigger things than the one you just took down
@@boomznbladez405 Its both. And also realizing how alien The Imperium is to them. Itd be like finding out Nasa still hires 100 women to do the minute-to-minute calculations for their manned space missions, instead of using a computer. If you don't know about their AI uprising, then you'd be no clue why they'd do something so inefficiently and put so many citizens at risk.
Dude... If i would be a Tau, the existentialism i would be getting would've been "These mf's have been around for THAT long and we're already closing in on them technologically?"
Which is also kinda what happened. The tau weren't horrified by the existence of old things, because that would be stupid.
If they had any sense they would ask what great filter keeps hard locking progress. They are steaming head first into an AI uprising, the interest of chaos, a regressive caste system or enslavement by the first of many species that could hijack their leadership.
So far their denial of chaos after discovering it doesn't bode well for the other hurdles coming.
Their realisation is even more visceral than just the realisation that the imperium is a stagnant mess: In the scene in question, a tau commander is the one to find the wreck, the tau previously believed dreadnoughts to be war drones, machines without pilots, due to their design. However he comes across a broken wreck and finds the exposed pilot still alive. This is when he first learns the truth about what dreadnoughts, and he’s immediately horrified by the inhumanity of its existence and what it’s suffered. He’s then doubly horrified when he realises that the being living this wretched existence has been *suffering it for longer than the tau have existed.*
He kills it and it’s more or less presented from his perspective as a mercy kill, granting a final end to the abomination
Correct.

It's closer to fortnite kids or non-gamers going to Conan last exile or something.

Or just "WTF is corpse starch?!".
Its like trying Stelaris multiplayer for the first time.
If I'm remembering the story right, it was a tau soldier who came across a defeated dreadnaught. The dreadnaught's corpse was hanging from the casket and was STILL ALIVE and coughing out insults and threats before the tau soldier finally ended him.
Yeah, it's last words were "Die in Pain!" Which is the most 40k thing I have heard all week.

The same way we think about the Tau is the same way the Eldar and the Necrons think of humanity.
It's a little different on the time scale. The dinosaurs just died when the "War in Heaven" was taking place.
And then you get the horror of finding out about the Tyrranids. A race of bio organic monsters that constantly evolve and adapt to everything and anything, that appeared in this galaxy. From four opposite sides of the galaxy. Basically inferring, that the Milky Way Galaxy where 40k takes place, is surrounded by numerous galaxies of Tyrranids.

*your ☝️🤓
IF the Tau actually thought about it, they'd realize that despite being only 6k years old, they're pretty much already caught up to the point that they're playing with the big boys and holding their own. At that rate, in just another 1k years, they'll rule the galaxy.
Until the Necrons all wake up and bash them into the dirt. they can’t rule the galaxy with 60 year life spans and their current technological status, even if it advanced the Necrons are so powerful that to them, reality itself is a plaything.

@@LordCrate-du8zm Good point. But at the rate the Tau are going, if the Necrons take their time, the Tau might just learn to overcome the limitations you listed. As you said, their current tech status is already such that they're holding against civilizations MUCH older. Compared to 6k years ago, everyone else had pretty much relatively stagnated.
the tau once tried to take over a imperial world, a space marine chapter showed up, called for a minor crusade, and crushed their border planets, pushed into their inner core, and only left to deal with the nids after scarying the piss out of the entire species. any sort of actual crusade against them would be a 100 year war of pure genocide, the imperium just has too much on it's plate to even consider it with like 3-4 hive fleets, a black crusade, a fuck off massive orc wagh going hard, and more and more necrons waking up.

You do understand, you just described Israel and they, never won a single war on their own and their method, of conquest, was attacking against the victims of war, the women and the children(i.e the two million German Christian children in Berlin 1945 - 48, when USA and GBR agree, to stay away from Berlin), mass murdering whole Christian population, with communism, in RUSSIA, TO ROB THEM ALL... And later, the neo jews play victims, like it justify destroying 54 million lives, for the less than one million neo jew casualties, in the war, THE NEO JEWS THEMSELVES STARTED 1934, by printing the official declaration of war vs Germany and for a FACT, HIRED BOTH, ADOLF HITLER AND CHURCHILL, TO GET THEIR VICTIM NARRATION, to be able to keep, everything the neo jews stole from the mass murdered CHRISTIANS!!!

Well the Tau's planet was isolated by Warp storms, wich prevented any contact or interference/interactions/attacks from outsiders.
While they where fighting amongst themselves at first the Ethereals managed to broke a peace between the different tribes, uniting them under one banner and turn their focus into One direction, advancing their civilisation.
It is often joked that the Tau's are the Space Communists of 40k.
Thats cause their Caste systeme actually divide and assigne the tau's jobs and proffesions from early on with no way to change it.
They know that whatever they do is for the "Greater Good" so they don't have the concept of "conflict of interests", no "carreer paths to choose", their superior says that you are to become a Janitor, so you'll be a janitor for the rest of your life, and since you know it is your "calling" You'll become the BEST Janitor this galaxy has ever seen!
They don't question it, they don't even think about it, so they all go and do their work with high motivations levels and shit gets done
(there might be some brainwashing going on cause of how the Ethereals lead the Tau's, but thats like one of the 40k's Mysteries, we don't know for sure, but there's kilometres of stuff being written about as fan theories goes)

There *are* however Chaos Space Marines who are old enough to remember the Emperor of Mankind as an actual man and not a corpse-god, but the ones that actually care or are coherent enough to remark on it are incredibly few. The oldest named human aside from the Emperor himself is a Dreadnought of the Space Wolves, Bjorn the Fell-Handed, who is over 10,000 years old and was a companion to the Primarch Leman Russ himself.

Define “surviving”? To become a dreadnaught you literally have to die. And there not be enough of you left to remake a human.
But your brain be too valuable to lose. So they shove you in a thick steeled life support coffin to pump your brain juices.
That dreadnaught could have been shredded a dozen times in those 10,000 years.
Just for it to be rebuilt like lego.
He is neither surviving or comfortable. He is simply existing as a cog In the machine.
Yes and no
Average guardsmen expected life expectancy(mmm, emglimsh) on the front is 16 hours
Chaos gods are immortal(as long as they are fed)
The emperor is technically immortal(1. As long as he is fed 10,000 souls a day, 2. If he dies then he just regenerates or something I forgot[he's an immortal, the race not the attribute, aka he's just that guy])
Some dreadnought burn their pilots out quickly, others sustain them for thousands upon thousands of years
It all hinges on who, what and where you are
In this case, i belive the machine was a 10,000 year's old abd the "pilot" was probably a few hundred.

There arent enough stories where we are the eldrich beings from beyond the stars.
agreed
There is the whole 'genre' of stories called variously 'humans are space orcs' or 'humanity f* yea'. A lot of them are pretty mid and rely on the aliens finding Earth to be a death world for some reason.
@@krinkrin5982 there were some good one's and some original one's that established the genre, but then every talentless fanfic writer out there learned that they could get more attention slapping the label on their work while repeating tropes without much story behind it.
@@MC-qu9jw I think my favorite one is where an alien delegation wants to honor a human pilot who sacrificed himself to save their ship, gets really angry when almost nobody on earth cares, then discovers this behavior is commonplace for the species, in contrast to the terminally selfish aliens.
It's actually believable that a species would think this way, and have culture shock because of it. It also doesn't make humans to be some sort of unbelievable badass for the sake of it.

Now that I realize it,t’au appeared after the fall of the Aeldari,wich means that they never got to know the galaxy before the eye of terror appeared,which is kinda sad
Well, only the Old Ones were the ones who saw a galaxy in its prime. After the War in Heaven everything just went to $#@! Just to say, in the first days of humankind the warp was already a chaotic place due to all of the brutal emotions the sentient species suffered millions of years ago...
They started living in caves 4,000 years after the emporor was entered on the golden thrones.

Fr bro. Now I'm scared, any movie that comes out will be shit.
Not quite how it happened but close enough.
In short a tau mech pilot manages to take down a dreadnaught but then notices that among the oil and other fluids leaking from the damage is blood. After getting closer he Tau is able to see inside and realizes to his horror that the the mangled remains of a space marine are fused into the dreadnaught to pilot it. While scanning the (still living) marine inside he realizes that the wounds that put it in the dreadnaught in the first place were inflicted before his civilization was ever formed. Meanwhile the marine inside basically tells the tau "kill me now or I'll hunt you down".
The Tau haven't been around as long, but their rate of advancement is insane.
Its perfectly sane, if you get how insane the warp is and not HOW but THAT it makes these things sense
@@Daniel_Roach, Some Alien race just uplifting they're race, I think the Etherials are not Tau or some of them worship some unknown God or something that help they're technology advance 300,000,000× faster than mankind.
TBF, rate of advancement helps when the culture doing it is literally trying to play catch up.
They have overall better tech. But their best cannot compete with the best of the Imperium. Not even close.And that's not taking into account the Dark Age technologies that are still around.
😂😂😂 let's wait until they reach AI rebellion era of their civilization
😂 is this the same race that tried to take over a marines mind and at the end of the experiment they came to the conclusion that they will never be able to convert a space marine due to the sheer and utter loyalty to the empire?
Yes. It also killed most of the people in the room from sheer loyalty. No weapons needed.
@minkmonk5387 I thought he killed himself by pushing the muscles in his chest together to squish his 2 hearts into each other and kill himself because he believed he the tau were going to study him
@@godoffire420yearsago IIRC, he basically willed his hearts to stop, while Tau "psychics" were rooting around in his mind. This also stopped their hearts.
Not entirely loyalty, it was the psycho conditioning and indoctrinations that heavily contributed to the marine resisting.
the only thing they could get from his mind was him repeating his Rank, Name, and which Chapter he was from, followed by "You will not break my will!" Once he realized just how many Tau were in his head, he said "I will do my duty." before pushing his hearts into Cardiac Arrest. Space Marines have been on the Tau's "Kill on Sight" list ever since.

That’s why I think 40k is so cool. In most sci-fi universes humans are always the young, dumb, but industrious civilization. But in Warhammer we have history, ancient culture, and cool af
Thing i find funny about this is that the Tau believed that The Imperium was infact the new ones to space as well as viewing humanity as primitive (like the Eldar do albeit the Eldar ARE actually old enough to back up their views unlike the Tau... But they also brought a chaos god into being so their opinion doesn't matter either) to boot only to find out The Imperium had been around FAR longer than they have
And when realize it, they're shocked 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They did one bad thing so their opinion doesn't matter?
Have the Tau ever found out about necrons?
@@beastwarsFTW They have yes, there are even instances where the Tau and Necrons temporarily worked together only for the Necrons to turn around and slaughter them when the alliance was over

I see it the reverse - look how far the Tau have come in only 6000 years.
Standing toe to toe with Space Marines
I mean… you _could_ see it that way. But that firefight was because they got caught in the open and the Tau had numbers and range on their side. In 6000 years they’ve been able to stand at a distance and shoot at Space Marines until they died, whereas for the past 10,000 the Space Marines have been able to stand toe to toe with the galaxy’s worst.
Those dreadnoughts have a passive ability that leaves enemies with an existential crisis
And keep in mind, he was just a run in and shoot them guy. A man older than your entire civilization was just a ground troop.
Edit: Ok let me rephrase, dreadnaughts are not just ground troops. The point is they let the 10,000 year old ancient people continue to fight despite having 10,000 years of experience to share.
Also dreadnaughts are not that special, new ones can and will be made. The reason people think they can't be made anymore are because those models are far more complex, the imperium have made new dreadnaughts however they burn out the pilot insanely fast.
A dreadnought is not "just a ground troop".
It's tech so old and complex the Imperium can't comprehend it fully, let alone replicate.
When one falls, it is an enormous tragedy, especially with its remains being scavenged by xenos.
Yeah no a dreadnought is a massive killing machine, could easily 1v1 any "ground troop"
Well that’s a bit disrespectful to the dreadnought, calling it “just a ground troop”
@@gront5172 sad he has so many upvotes. I'm like 2 weeks into Warhammer and I know better.
@@andrewf6111 Yeah, the amount of dreadnoughts that each chapter has aren’t usually exactly numerous too, atleast for 40K standards. And they’re usually very highly respected, basically seen as the older brothers/seniors/veterans of the chapter.
Impressive how quickly their civilization seems to have grown, too.
Its way worse than that too. Like they opened it up and saw the state of the marine, and figured out that he was entombed in this machine because he was too damaged to live otherwise but was also unable to finally die.
Dreadnoughts are like robocop, if it was way more fucked up but yet they didnt remove his control and humanity.

Bit older than 6000 Years. They were found 6,000 Years ago and that is when they mastered fire and wheels, being in the Stone Age.
They’re much older than 6,000. Just not their current civilization. It took us 3.4 Million Years based off of what I’ve found on google to reach the Stone Age. If they’re learning faster, it’s still longer than the dreadnought’s been alive.
They’re like a regional power not a galactic one. I wouldn’t even say that the imperium is a superpower either.

Can confirm; I just started learning about 40k and had no idea it went as deep as it does.
I remember that. It was in the novel *Blade of Damocles* during the 1st Damocles Gulf Crusade on the sept world of dal’yth.
I remember the pilot initially just wanted some data to bring to the earth caste about space marines so decided to use a spike on the suit that was primarily used for capturing info on new planets.
What the tau have been able to accomplish in 6,000 years is terrifying in and of itself
This is just like when the imperium first discovered an aeldari Wraithlord.
They also discovered the grim dark of Empirium(ilI don't know if I type is right) upon they opening the sarcophagus of the dreadnought, they discovered the disfigured remain of the space marine, still alive and they saw the hatred of that space marine to the Tau.
Iirc the dude also said something like "you better k*ll me xenos, or i would k*ll yall if i can move again somehow"
Being able to make all these advancements in less than 10k years is something admirable.
Is the song doki doki literature club when sayori you know what?

You do understand, you just described Israel and they, never won a single war on their own and their method, of conquest, was attacking against the victims of war, the women and the children(i.e the two million German Christian children in Berlin 1945 - 48, when USA and GBR agree, to stay away from Berlin), mass murdering whole Christian population, with communism, in RUSSIA, TO ROB THEM ALL... And later, the neo jews play victims, like it justify destroying 54 million lives, for the less than one million neo jew casualties, in the war, THE NEO JEWS THEMSELVES STARTED 1934, by printing the official declaration of war vs Germany and for a FACT, HIRED BOTH, ADOLF HITLER AND CHURCHILL, TO GET THEIR VICTIM NARRATION, to be able to keep, everything the neo jews stole from the mass murdered CHRISTIANS!!!
The atheist, neo jew commie criminals, didnt just pay the whole political career of Adolf Hitler, in to power, they ALSO TOOK CARE OF HITLERS HEALTH, KEPT HIM UNDER ALL KIND OF DRUGS, WEIRD TREATMENTS, SEXUAL ABUSE AND SUBSTANCES. And if the neo jews wanted, they could have killed Hitler, WHEN EVER THEY WANTED and no one, could have even blamed the neo jews, after Hitler would die in to heart attack. = The ISRAELIS, would be the most shameful, dishonourable, cowards and scammers, that only the Tyranids would love, to have as PARASITE CLASS, cause they really are literal GENESTEALERS, INBREEDS AND WITHOUT A SPEC OF INTELLECTUAL HONESTY OR RESPECT, FOR ANOTHER LIVING BEING.
PS. Yes, I just called Israelis and the neo jews as PARASITES, cause that is the very definition, how the neo jews invaded CHRISTIAN WEST. But the only question, I would ask from either, from the Americans or from the British, "So, you must have your daily life, in your country, infinite more better now, when you even fought side by side with the commies, to get all those criminals freed. in to CHRISTIAN WEST, *WITH THE STOLEN LOOT, FROM 100 MILLION RUSSIAN CHRISTIANS AND 54 MILLION MORE, FROM THE WW2!?"

TBH for being a new race, I gotta give them props for being able to catch up with most of the other technology advances, because Humans haven't grown since the horus Heresey, Necrons are perfect, Orcs somehow use trash as armor and weapons, Demons steal any tech their infecting, Aldarians and Drukkians are elves, Votan...are dwarves (idk much about the elves and dwarves tech) Minotaur steal weapons from other races as trophys, so yeah I gotta give it to the Tau for being the first and only race to join the other small races as 1 army
Imagine meeting aliens that are older than the entire human civilization and everyone on the planet, even OF models are in an existential crisis.

Honestly that's what made Mass Effect Reapers so eldritch. I think they are old enough to remember the War in the Heaven if they were from 40k.
Whoa. Don’t go throwing up my boy Bjorn and say he was captured!😂 love it!
"Fun fact about Dreadnoughts, theres a race called the Tau" Pretty much sums up the state of Warhammer fans right now
Did you even watch the short? The fact about Dreadnoughts had to do with the Tau’s age as a civilization.
it's called giving context
It's actually quite badass that the Tau caught up so quick. They will probably win out in the long run as the Empire eats itself, Eldar die out and the Necrons depart from the galaxy. Them, Orks and Tyranids are the ones who decide how the Milkey Way shapes out.
While the Eldar could die out. Necrons don't want to leave the galaxy. The Silent King is looking to destroy the Tyranid because he wants to find a way for the Necrons to possess another species in order to regain organic bodies. But can't do that if the Nids eat everything. And then they want to wipe out or subjugate all other life because Necrons feel they are the rightfully owners of the milky-way after winning the war in heaven. Eldar have plans for getting rid of she who thirsts but keep failing. Also the only people they don't body tech wise is necrons and each other. Tau got good tech but Eldar and Necrons have tech from literally gods at the dawn of time. And then there is the webway...
There’s a literal star map of the entire Milky Way galaxy the Necrons possess that grants them the ability to wipe entire systems from existence if they so choose… that’s only one of the weapons they considered safe to keep. Emphasis on the words one of.
@@def3ndr887 They will also never use it. Because its mutually assured destruction. There's a reason the silent king yeeted the rest.

Humanity once had weapons that could erase stars, terraform planets in days. Literally lock on and force you BACK IN TIME to be hit, negating PRECOGNITION, WHILE tracking you in a warp area you CANT be tracked in. The Tau are looking at a race that is so old it is in massive decline and decay, and it still kicks their ass ona daily basis. Thats why they were freaked out, the fear that a species so advanced, could become so horrific. Also the fear of what might happen if humanity pulled its head out of its ass.

As mentioned, they are a relativly young race compared to everyone else.
But they are catching up real fast....
What’s wild to me is recorded history is like 5000 years, oldest human remains are like around 200 000ish depending on the study.

@@GermanShible I am not that much into Warhammer 40k, just some lore videoes and some 'if the emperor had TTS'.

The question I do not knew is...
Is the 5.000 years, in regards to the Tau.
What do they mean by _'Recorded History'_ ?
Is that Tau remains that have been recorded or their oldest written records.
Then we can compare it to human history.
As in:
Remains found vs
agricultural development vs
societies with written history and laws vs
societies post industrial/electric/atomic/space travel.

A big W for tau
That dreadnought is now in a museum being gawked at by blue school kids, so, yep.
Also no one ever tells the parts about how shocked and caught in disarray Space Marines were the first time they fought crisis suits. Every searing flash of blue resulting in another battle brother instantly obliterated.
Here's an excerpt from Blades of Damocles, if you're interested.
[[[ There was a crack of impact as a crimson xenos warsuit thumped down in front of Antaloch. It pressed the muzzle of its energy rifle to his helmet. The Apothecary froze. The alien assassin filled his vision, huge and lethal. Thin pennants fluttered from its armour like elongated purity seals. The figure would have dwarfed a Terminator, perhaps even a Centurion.
‘It is unclear,’ stated the giant in stilted Low Gothic, its hidden speakers giving it something uncannily like a real voice. ‘You must know this one does not live, ministrator-medic-equivalent.’
‘Aye,’ growled Antaloch, ‘and yet his due must be given.’
‘Despite the high percentile chance of sustaining lethal damage during your ministrations.’
‘Just so,’ said the Apothecary. He fought a strong urge to put his hand over the precious gene-seed flasks at his waist. Even as the din of battle thundered around them, a moment of stillness passed between the two warriors.
‘Your stance is defence-oriented, yet not indicative of self-preservation,’ stated the xenos warsuit. Before Antaloch could reply, a pair of bolter shells detonated behind the giant figure, staggering it for a moment. It whipped a square-barrelled blaster around to obliterate the Space Marine running in behind it in a storm of searing light. Despite the distraction, its energy rifle did not move one inch from Antaloch’s helm.
‘A theory. During the death ritual, you recover a substance and-or information code that your warrior caste considers vital.’
Antaloch stared up at the towering figure, but said nothing.
‘Interesting,’ said the xenos giant. ‘Proceed then, by all means.’ Raising its rifle in brief salute, the battlesuit shot up into the skies on twin tongues of flame.
The Apothecary watched the alien’s departure for a second, blinking in disbelief before patching into his command squad’s private vox-net.
‘Captain Sevelliac? When this is over, we need to talk.’ ]]]
Humanity are practically eldritch beings compared to Tau.
Fact about dreadnoughts? Theres a race called the tau
If the Tau existed during the Golden Age of Humanity, they probably would have been a trade partner or literally wiped off the face of the galaxy. Golden Age Humans are probably my favorite part about Warhammer, cause it makes you remember how ADVANCED humanity was, from having an entire race of AI serving that ended in rebellion, to literally having developed the original Imperial Knights as mining and lumber machines. There's pictures of how their colony ships looked due to a story where a colony ship came out of the warp after 25-30,000 years. It HATED the Imperium of Man
I hear that music.. and so… “I gently open the door”
The Tau evolve fast! That's an impressive feat for a young species.
