Ah... the TAU. They are "WISE"... didnt watch all the movie clips.
The "ELDER" Tau knew the leader of that group of Space Marines was in diplomatic relations with a "HIGHER POWER" (back stabbed)? Didnt watch or play the game.
Typical white man space marines for you. Thats why there are so many groups of space marines. You got ULTRAMARINES, TEMPLARS (?)... BLOOD RAVENS and so on.
@Echossaise If you have read the Book of the Ultramarines, First Omnibus, which follows Uriel Ventris and his comrades of the Fourth Company, a space marine is certainly requisitioned from a Chapter by skill, merit, and knowledge of a dangerous xenos. E.G. Tyranids in the second book's case. They paint their armor black, but retain one emblem on their shoulder pads, the chapter in which they hail from. That's how they are easily identified, also by chapter traits and past military actions.
I just found it odd looking back that the Imperium would consider any sort of alliance with the Xenos, would it not be Heresy to do so? Although in the face of Chaos, I could see why the rules may be bent. As for the imperium's tech, it's very disparate, some worlds they are very advanced, others they have primitive 20th century weaponry. A pity they went through a dark age. If I remember correctly titans and power armour are lost knowledge, they can't reproduce them.
Nope, sorry. Good guess but no. It is in fact a dictator class.
I'm a battlefleet gothic nerd and I happen to have the book infront of me as I type. It matches the dictator class perfectly. Also the emperor class would be about twice the size of that ship and have more launch bays.
@Lathox I thought the Emperoro Class had only 1 group of side guns and 2 groups of launch bays. It also has a better forward weapon compared to the Retribution class... I too play BG but i dont have the Book. I just use the Games Workshop website but having the book would help/.
Methinks that the Admiral protest too much. The Tau are a young race- honorable, enlightened, growing. Why does the Imperium hate aliens? Not all of them are evil.
@NicholasGeschke they hate xenos because the emperor ordered all non human sentient life eradicated so humanity can claim the stars without opposition.. NON of the alien races are evil what so ever.. but humanity sees them as enemies
btw the RaPTOR chapter werent the best chapter at all also they knew that they were the worst the empirium had but another thing is space marines wouldnt even attack the tua and they started losing cuz they were a bran new race like bran bran new and those were only malitia in the 1st cutcene
Despite being a supportor of the imperial Guard and loyal servant of the emperor i think one day the tau and imperium should combine forces together they eould be unstopable!!!!
As a Marine myself I respect the Tau- I even feel a strange protectiveness towards them. Sure, they're young and have much to learn, but in time they will exceed the Imperium's greatest accomplishments. They are a race that shows much promise, much in the way of hope.
That space marine is WAY undersized. In full armor they're supposed to stand almost 3 meters tall. That's what, eight, maybe nine feet? And this guys barely taller than the puny human governor! Stupid developers, don't know jack about 40k...
@MisterZimbabwe Space Marines are typically 7 feet tall. Certainly some become 8 feet tall, others like Pasanius of the Ultramarines Fourth Company, 9 feet, but those are the exception rather than the rule. For some reason people keep on proclaiming Space Marines to be a standard 8 or 9, but everything GW publishes always says average of 7 feet.
lol they talk of alien scums and heretics the sace marines r no longer humans they r mutant scums that challenge humanites strength if they cannot trust aliens y shud the imperials trust the space marines doesnt that sound like something to gesse about
@HanDynasty26349 all to many humans have dealed with xenos like the imperial guard inqustion all arms of the imperium have at one piont so dont ride your high horse plus when the empoer is reborn we can have a allince with the tau and eldar to eradicate chaos an the orks and al other that oppose us all the empoer wanted id for humanty to united but sadly his dream was destroyed by the great betrayer horus.... :(
@freewillgeorge Well there has been no offical word if it's the same Kais, but since Kais is a rather common Fire caste name I would say the chances for it being the same one are rather slim.
@Blocky858 late reply, but when the tau and imperial ship stopped firing, ardias and the tau agreed to give back the ethereal and kais, but the chaos guys arrived before kais was off the ship, the etherial escaped though
btw im sorry but the tau fleet are fare supeiror to that of the impriom it states this within the tau codex they wiped out an entire fleet of impeiral vessles and only lost two ships.
@TheBronze3ye in the start of the game (also the ones in the the first cutscene) you get to fight marines from the Raptor chapter and later you get Ultra marines as allies at some points.
To say tau tech > Imperial tech isn't entirely true. The imperium still produces bits of tech that are far beyond the tau...eg. gellar fields, warp drives, teleporters. The main difference is that the tau still embrace science wheras only a tiny percentage of techpriests actually use the scientific method.
All this being said, the tau empire is utterly insignificant to the imperium and one decent sized crusade could wipe them out. If only there were not more pressing concerns for man...
The Imperium has a lot of very advanced technology. However their views of Technology border on the Occult their fabricators are the Techpriesthood who have absolutely no idea how it works, just that it does as long as they copy the orignal design or 'Standard Template Construct' to the letter. Right down to any notes the designer may have written on the design.
@Terrorkarel "Should a machine not function upon striking the panel marked 'on' this is an omen of great ill.

@FRANKIELALALA to bad u comment has to many negitive votes no surpriseing i will be good to know wont get a job if u dont like "nerds" the rule the world
@FRANKIELALALA yes they do all powerful buisness men are "nerds" especially the most powerful of the companys like microsoft sony and all the electronic companys
@edchopp yep the dark age of tecknology caused the fabricators of mars to forget about everything and also sumin happend i beilieve that necrons turned up mind they do worship the machine god hmmm wonder who they can be lol btw it points this out in the necron codex but i duno if this is true or not
Necrons are and will always be the most advanced race.. followd by eldar then tau. The imperium used 2 be advanced but lost the tech in the age of strife.
Markku you have to face the facts that yeah theres alot of orcs but maybe one out of a million orcs are usefull, because while they are running and running and running they are also being blown up into ittybitty orcy bits, also the spores have to survive, if they bodies are burned like must of them are there arent going to be any orcs poppin outta the ground.
I remember in the old background that the orks released spore when they died, which turned into more orks. Is this the case, or have they changed the backgroud for this?
Maybe you didnt realize my point, orks are the most numerous specias in galaxy, even marines would fall if they wpuld soddenly go to waagh. As of Core Worlds, Ghazskhull almost invaded Solar when he had his waagh, yarrick stopped. And he had like 1/60 of all orks.
well if the imperium could scramble up its full force, the tau would be smashed. but since its beset from all sides and from within it doesn't matter.
tau tech isn't more advance than humanity... as far as the lore says the tau empire is the newlyest of them all... even chaos are older than them, so all in all humans tech is much older and also more advance... that they don't use lazer as much doesn't mean they are less advanced ;)
The tau are young only about 5.000 years old but I should have been more precise the tau are more advance then the emporium in general yes the emporium have very advance technology but because of events and its society the technology of emporium is less advance then it should be. :)
Tau tech is currently surpassing Imperial tech. Case in point: Tau plasma doesn't kill it's user whenever the gun feels like it.
While the Imperials have "good" tech for now, their tech is not going forwards, only backwards, while the Tau progress (at least somewhat) continuously.
Tau don't use lasers because they have RAILGUNS. Too bad they seem to be near-sighted.
Being the young race doesn't make them less sophisticated, just ask an Ork lol.
Well since it is an Astrates ship, it's a strike cruiser which are not focused for fire power, but delivery of troops to the orbital area and bording actions
what they need to do is have the 3 races with brains to all come together and destroy chaos tau eldar and humans no force can stop them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, maybe I overdid it a little. All I'm saying is that the Eldar, Tau and Humans can't really agree on anything. And the only race who can actually destroy Chaos is the Necrons, but even so they can only achive this indirectly, by purging all life from the material universe, thereby ending their reflections in the warp (Chaos).
No, Chaos is. Without proper vigilance, thousands of worlds can fall to Chaos in an eyeblink. The Nids are still held back by the principles of physics. The Daemons of Chaos are not. Besides, in the 40k rulebook there's a pic of a Daemon Prince owning a Carnifex.
Agreed. The Tyranids are overrunning the universe. The Chaos forces need flesh and individual minds and desires to corrupt and cannot influence Tyranid hive minds that care only for survival. Orks are disorganized and no match for the hive fleets. The Tau cannot stop tem, nor can the Imperium or the Elders. Necrons are pawns of Chaos and are hardly worth bothering with.
Tyranids are like Zombies, for everyone of anything else they kill, they gain an ally (or more), The only way the Tyranids could be stopped is by the killing of the Hive Mind, which would take a joint effort of most of races of the Galaxy working together to find the home galaxy of the Tyranids and making a means to get there.
the necrons are as unstopable as any army most races are fearful of necrons and the entire necron race isnt even fully active and it took the combined efforts of the eldar and the old ones to destroy them last time
also the tyranids would see no rreaso n to fight the necrons unless for survival becuse the necrons have nothing that can be digested there made of living metal which i dont think will do to well for there inards as the could rebuild inside a digestion pool (hehehehe imagine if they tried to digest an inactive monolith which got awakened that would be hilarious to watch)
OK yes the Orks are awesome but looking at it from a nuetral point of view, the TYRANIDS will EVENTUALLY absorb the entire galaxy, theres just no question of it. the only thing that could stop this from happening is the Necron because they have no Biomass, but even then it would take a significant force with enough galactic resources to defeat a force that spans MULTIPLE Galaxies.
If the orks could ever unite they would crush the tyranids like the bugs they are. I mean if the Imperium can turn the once mighty hive fleets into splinter fleets and eventually wittle them down then a galaxy of united orks would overwhealm the nids in an unstopable green tide.
hes an intellingent commander, sadly for us humans, those are in short supply for the imperian guard. but the space marines are smart, the attack by the space marines was actually a chaos rouse to start a war between the imperium and the tau
Humans are taught from a young age to hate aliens, you can't really blame him any more than you could blame someone for not wanting to walk into a bear's cave
@greblu2 Uh... even SMs hate aliens. It probably took all of that captain's willpower to not order the admiral to attack. All of the Imperium in 40k hate aliens, mutants and people of different religions politics etc. The Imperium is basicly all of historys worst facist reigimes in space. Its actually natural for the admiral to say that. If anything he was being polite.
@kingkong381 well when the empoer comes back we can be less xeno phobic and eradicte chaos hopefully by the time he is born through the star child humans will be almost as powerful as the empoer then the eldar tau alliance can destroy the orks choas deamons and chaos SMs
How did the chaos marines boarded the imperial flagship under the ultramarines noses?? maybe because they lost their homeworld to the tyranids. Poor bastards.
@azuer143 They didn't lose Macragge. It was attacked but The Ultramarines reclaimed it. But lost the entire 1st Company. In fact Macragge is normal again. Well apart from the training of elite SMs to fight 'nids
@kingkong381 ok thats my bad.. should have read more at lexicanum.. how did chaos space marines boarded that battleship? did serverus summoned the CSM
Just compare the SM & the Tau. The SM appear so evil. The Tau speak of them so respectfully & in return the Imperium refers to them as 'alien scum' & have only nasty things to say. The Imperium is as much alien to the Tau as the Tau r to them.
I have SM army... love fighting tau, good race dont totally enjoy fighting them but it is awsome ^^ watching their poor rifle squads try to stop assault squads
mess with da tau, you mess with me...only if you a puny wimp which i can easily beat up...so if the space marines want to destroy the tau, they on theyre own cos im outta there lol
10th company dont have rims, they are the scouts. And i believe 4th is gold, 2nd is yellow and 6th is also yellow (If you read Nightbringer the Ultramarines 4th company have gold trims)
i dnt mean to be a smart arse bt it is the ultramarines 2nd coy tht is gold, 4th have a green trim to their armour ( u can see it on the cover of nitebringer)
Becouse he is from the ultramarines third company and they have red rims, the second company have gold rims and the forthed company have green rims if I remember correctly.
If I´m not completely wrong: 1st: white 2nd: Gold or yellow 3rd: Red 4th: Green 5th: Black 6th: Gold or yellow 7th: Red 8th: Grey 9th: Blue 10th: White
Ah... the TAU. They are "WISE"... didnt watch all the movie clips.

Tyranids are running from them.

No, Chaos is. Without proper vigilance, thousands of worlds can fall to Chaos in an eyeblink. The Nids are still held back by the principles of physics. The Daemons of Chaos are not. Besides, in the 40k rulebook there's a pic of a Daemon Prince owning a Carnifex.

too bad that the tyranids are infinite in number.

no, they're innumerable, not infinite.

exactly, as I said above, for every enemy the Tyranids fell, they gain the biomass to produce allies.
Th3RedX 2 years ago
Agreed. The Tyranids are overrunning the universe. The Chaos forces need flesh and individual minds and desires to corrupt and cannot influence Tyranid hive minds that care only for survival. Orks are disorganized and no match for the hive fleets. The Tau cannot stop tem, nor can the Imperium or the Elders. Necrons are pawns of Chaos and are hardly worth bothering with.
Danny77uk 2 years ago 2
indeed, but if the orks should ever organize, they would destroy everything, including the tyranids.
zomgerln 2 years ago
Everything except the Tyranids. I don't think anyone can stop them.
Danny77uk 2 years ago
Tyranids are like Zombies, for everyone of anything else they kill, they gain an ally (or more), The only way the Tyranids could be stopped is by the killing of the Hive Mind, which would take a joint effort of most of races of the Galaxy working together to find the home galaxy of the Tyranids and making a means to get there.

ask the eldar there empire spanded the whole universe unless the webway gate is damaged so can go for the hive mind
ColonelVenom88 2 years ago
the necrons are as unstopable as any army most races are fearful of necrons and the entire necron race isnt even fully active and it took the combined efforts of the eldar and the old ones to destroy them last time
bloodbat04 2 years ago
also the tyranids would see no rreaso n to fight the necrons unless for survival becuse the necrons have nothing that can be digested there made of living metal which i dont think will do to well for there inards as the could rebuild inside a digestion pool (hehehehe imagine if they tried to digest an inactive monolith which got awakened that would be hilarious to watch)

Danny77uk, the Tyranids were kilometres away in the first Dawn of War games, in number 2 they arrived!

What if the orks organized galaxywide and became the most technologically advanced race in a short time then even the tyranids would run like hell
DOWSS4 2 years ago
they wouldn't need to become the most technologically advanced. just uniting ALL the orks as they are now would be enough.
Burninator353 2 years ago
OK yes the Orks are awesome but looking at it from a nuetral point of view, the TYRANIDS will EVENTUALLY absorb the entire galaxy, theres just no question of it. the only thing that could stop this from happening is the Necron because they have no Biomass, but even then it would take a significant force with enough galactic resources to defeat a force that spans MULTIPLE Galaxies.
Th3RedX 2 years ago
If the orks could ever unite they would crush the tyranids like the bugs they are. I mean if the Imperium can turn the once mighty hive fleets into splinter fleets and eventually wittle them down then a galaxy of united orks would overwhealm the nids in an unstopable green tide.

hes an intellingent commander, sadly for us humans, those are in short supply for the imperian guard. but the space marines are smart, the attack by the space marines was actually a chaos rouse to start a war between the imperium and the tau

@greblu2 Uh... even SMs hate aliens. It probably took all of that captain's willpower to not order the admiral to attack. All of the Imperium in 40k hate aliens, mutants and people of different religions politics etc. The Imperium is basicly all of historys worst facist reigimes in space. Its actually natural for the admiral to say that. If anything he was being polite.

@kingkong381 well when the empoer comes back we can be less xeno phobic and eradicte chaos hopefully by the time he is born through the star child humans will be almost as powerful as the empoer then the eldar tau alliance can destroy the orks choas deamons and chaos SMs

How did the chaos marines boarded the imperial flagship under the ultramarines noses?? maybe because they lost their homeworld to the tyranids. Poor bastards.

@azuer143 They didn't lose Macragge. It was attacked but The Ultramarines reclaimed it. But lost the entire 1st Company. In fact Macragge is normal again. Well apart from the training of elite SMs to fight 'nids

Just compare the SM & the Tau. The SM appear so evil. The Tau speak of them so respectfully & in return the Imperium refers to them as 'alien scum' & have only nasty things to say. The Imperium is as much alien to the Tau as the Tau r to them.
