/tg/ - Traditional Games

I'll bump it once.

Prepare your folder.

Fuck da Tau

>>19656139
Right back at you, Gue'la.

>>19656155

Summoning of TIDF is complete. Now to post dead Tau.

>>19656239
>red blood

>>19656155
How does it feel you will never get playable Tau in an RPG?

Back up, Nigga Demons.

BLAM BLAM BLAM.

Break yo self, mutant.

>>19656260

Disappointing mostly, but Only War can be pretty easily converted into a Tau centric game, of course the power level would have to be upped since tau weapons and armour make mincemeat out of most of the standard adversaries.

My life for Ner'zhul.

Oops, wrong game.

>>19656260
Never say never~

If the Eldar, Orks, and Kroot have become playable, then it is a matter of time before the Tau become as well.

And if not, the Tau fans will create their own RPG game based on the official ones ( I am sure one such game is already in the works).

>>19656239
>>19656244
>>19656253
Am I suppose to be offended by the sacrifice of these Shas? Their honoring of their Bond oath and pledge to Tau'va?

No, I am proud of these Fire Warriors. They have died to protect T'au from the horror and spread the wisdom of the Aun.

>>19656220
I guess, I have to counter that with pictures of the glorious Tau!

''United. Our will is greater than any other force. We shall inherit the stars. Even if we must cleanse then in blood''

-O'Shovah

Farsight the bloodied, indeed.

''United. Our will is greater than any other force. We shall inherit the stars. Even if we must cleanse then in blood''

-O'Shovah

Farsight the bloodied, indeed.

>>19656372
Hang on, I thought you left?

Something about 6e allowing Ethereals to get possessed.

>>19656435
You think you're the only ones dreaming?
I recommend Ravenor's works on the future of the Imperium.

>>19655916
''Each must find their own way. If those in our heartland had witnessed the savageries of the void as have we they would know this. The hand of each of the starfarers is turned against the other; none will join their strength together just to see their ancient enemies prosper. Neither should we''

-O'Shovah

Farsight the hypocrite and abandoner.

>>19656445
No. What made you think that?

>Something about 6e allowing Ethereals to get possessed.

I doubt it.

I have not got my hands on that book yet. I am eager to digest whatever information that book contains on the Tau.

>>19656475
>the future of the Imperium.

...to be swept away by the winds of destiny and replaced by the benevolent Tau Empire.

Tau'va is not just a dream, Gue'la, It is an undeniable truth. An Inescapable reality.

The Ascension of the T'au is an inevitability as is the fall of Terra.

>>19656527
Blah, blah, see you in ten millennia.

>>19656527

I can't wait till they retcon you out like they did to the Squats.

>>19656442
Them*

>>19656545

Can you not feel it? How could you ignore all the signs? The pieces falling in place and the gears are grinding heralding the coming of a new age.

>>19656554
Do not keep your hopes up, Gue'la, that will never happen.

The Tau influence is already rooted deep in the galaxy. They are here to stay and clean up the place.

>>19656614
Care to explain what was you explanation for the Damoscles crusade?

Also how much usable biomass does the Tau Empire have roughly?

Here, have my 40K mix No 2 folder, 1508 pics
http://www.mediafire.com/?1tm2ei18am0jsmd
http://www.mediafire.com/?6jvuua71e64bdie

How the fuck did an image dump request become ANOTHER fucking Tau v. anti-Tau thread?

Seriously guys? Really? Fuck you TIDF and fuck you, whoever lured him here. You both need to go take a dip in a vat of toxic chemicals.

>>19656671
The heresy of these blue xenos cannot stand!

>>19656614
>The Tau influence is already rooted deep in the galaxy. They are here to stay and clean up the place.
The Imperium of Man could destroy all of the other factions if they could only get all of their forces together. The reason they haven't done so is because they're too busy fighting multiple enemies all across the galaxy to unite their forces. You could say the same about the forces of Chaos, the Orks, the Tyranids and perhaps even the Eldar and Necrons as well. But can't say that about the Tau. The only thing you can say about the Tau is that they're only around because no one has put any real effort into annihilating them.

>>19656693
Stop it.

Don't argue cause he just wins. You're suppose to poke at logical holes and listen to his excuses.

>>19656671

It literally took one picture and saying "Fuck da Tau" to get him to turn this into a Tau/Anti-Tau thread. Just stoked the flames with some poorly modeled dead Tau and nigga took off burning.

>>19656703
Yeah, and I'm still waiting for his excuse on that one. The biggest of all his logical holes is that as it stands, the Tau are by far the weakest known faction.

>>19655916
>>19656625
>explanation for the Damoscles crusade?

An unwarranted, unprovoked, and genocidal assault on a peaceful people. A brutal merciless campaign motivated by zealous hate ordered by men with the blackest of hearts.

I wished the Aun would have allowed the Shas and Kor to trap and destroy the Crusade. These butchers deserved no mercy.

>Also how much usable biomass does the Tau Empire have roughly?

Enough to draw the attention of the tendrils of Kraken, and the Hive fleets Dagon and Gorgon.

>>19656703
He's right. The Tau have only a few dozen worlds. Any Imperial sector could produce enough forces to oppose them, were they not busyfighting real threats.

>>19656723
I know he is right.

The Damoscles crusade proved that only 17 capital ships were needed to different dozens of Tau fleets.

He will religiously defend that is a lie and the Imperium is pure evil.

>>19656693
What comic is this from, and where can I read it?

>>19656735
One would expect that in a people who have no idea about the horrors of the warp nor the risk that is uncontrolled technological advance.

>>19656750
Fun fact, the Tau do have a species in their empire who is a heavy psyker race.

TIDF, care to tell us about them?

>>19656735
Oh, the Imperium is evil, all right. But at the end of the day, they are humans, and so are we. They appeal to so many people simply because in a universe without pity, without mercy, full of ravenous hordes of bugs that consume entire planets, four very angry gods that want to consume or subvert all of mankind, soulless sentient cyborgs that want to re-establish their ancient totalitarian empires, and a very violent breed of fungus that infests most of the known galaxy, the Imperium is full of the common men, women and children. And day by day, inch by inch, las-volley by las-volley, THEY HOLD THE LINE.

HUMANITY.

FUCK.

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

>>19656764
Oh gosh he said it!

How does it feel to be fanatical about a faction that is so utterly insignificant, TIDF? Their shit on the tabletop, weak in the fluff and generally ignored by a most of the 40k fandom.

>>19656764
>Oh, the Imperium is evil, all right. But at the end of the day, they are humans, and so are we.

Oh so what. If the Imperium was made up of guys with 3 eyes, six nipples and called themselves the Smm'lugs then they would be in the wrong but since they're humans, they get a free pass?

>>19656693
>The Imperium of Man could destroy all of the other factions if they could only get all of their forces together

You seriously believe that?

You poor deluded, Gue'la.

>The only thing you can say about the Tau is that they're only around because no one has put any real effort into annihilating them.

Many have tried and many have failed. T'au continues to grow and prosper MUCH to the chagrin of the forces of tyranny and destruction.

>>19656714
I took it easy these couple of days to shift through entire databanks of historical information trying to get details on the Medusa research Mission.

This just me pouring out my displeasure in this thread. Have you any idea how annoyingly hard it is to find details about that operation?

Aun'T'Pel fate, exact details on Shadowsun's sibling Shas’el Ty’res heroic death, and the infamous El'Dar guests disaster.

Curiosity is killing me and I am unable to find one shred of clear information about any of these events.

ARGH!

>>19656723
>The Tau have only a few dozen worlds

Three Expansion Spheres later (and the fourth coming soon in 42K) you would repeat that same falsehood.

>Any Imperial sector could produce enough forces to oppose them

We shall see if that is true, when the Iron Hammer Campaign finally arrives.

TIDF, why do all the ig fanboys always say the same shit? Is it just parroting? Is it the hivemind of a genestealer cult?

>>19656810
If the Horus Heresy had been played out by aliens instead of humans and Ollanius Pius had been an ordinary alien soldier instead of a human trooper, you just know people would have screamed about how bullshit it was that he alone survived where even the Space Marines (or rather, their alien equivalents) could not in order to reach the final battle and open the eyes of the (alien) Emperor, saving the entire (alien) Imperium with his oh-so-heroic sacrifice.

>>19656879
inb4 he talks about how the tau had cured Genestealers.

>>19656883
but Ollanius Pius was never on the Vengeful Spirit.

It's only ever been a super human who's galvanized the Emperor's fight against Horus, and has been that way since Rogue Trader.

>>19656904
>but Ollanius Pius was never on the Vengeful Spirit.
You shut your whore mouth.

>>19656904
Just going off the /tg/ version of events, since it's the one people normally associate with him.

>>19656855
And then there is Aun'Shi.

The Council of the Highest did not tell him to travel to bloody Terra, so what is up with the slow pace?

Years have passed, Aun'Shi, what were you doing all this time?

>>19656888
Then I do not need to remind you.

>>19656879
Because they are brainwashed into repeating the same nonsense again and again nonstop.

I swear to the Aun, It is really getting really annoying.

>>19656774
>How does it feel to be fanatical about a faction that is so utterly insignificant

Feels good. I am having the time of my life.

>generally ignored by a most of the 40k fandom.

You and I know that it is not true. Look at all of this.

>>19656761
Yes, the innocent and (Extremely huggable) fuzzy Nicassar.

Their powers will come in use, once the Tau fully understood them. Until then they must protected from the vile Imperium.

>>19657058
You have that picture on hand?

I don't want to bother DLFG for it.

>>19657058
>I swear to the Aun, It is really getting really annoying.
Do you actually think you're making a difference, TIDF? I know I gave up bothering to ever talk about tau at all on /tg/, since theres no escape from HFYfags.

>>19657085
Here it is.

>>19657125
>Do you actually think you're making a difference, TIDF?

Yes, I believe so.

>I know I gave up bothering to ever talk about tau at all on /tg/, since theres no escape from HFYfags.

Nobody is forcing you to read their posts. They might be annoying sometimes, but they are entitled to be proud of their (backward and primitive) race. Just ignore them and continue discussing the Tau.

If you truly love the Tau, then these misguided ido....gentlemen should not bother you much. Their barking and growling does nothing to hinder my resolve neither should it hinder yours.

>>19657237
I'd wulf that, if you catch my wulf.

>>19656883
Well, now that Ollanius Pius is a legendary super human who is immortal you can see all of /tg/ crumbling from within

>>19657237
As a member of the HFY cult, I almost always disagree with you. However, I must say, TIDF, you're one of the better namefriends on this board, and I enjoy your shtick.

>>19657297
>Causes this thread
>One of the better namefriends on this board

Bro, that shit don't match. All it took was one "FUCK THE TAU" and now this shitstorm.

>>19657384
You call this a shitstorm? And he didn't cause this, he was provoked man.

>>19657384

I can honestly say I like the Tau when I first got in to 40k, loved their whole dynamic.

Then I encountered TIDF and he completely turned me off them kind of like an actor who found his favourite part and refuses to ever break character so you get sick of the story.

>>19656774
Tau won in the UK for the Gamesday tourney I think.

Some big tournament like that.

Do not mess with markerlights man, they fuck your shit!

Also, mandatory post of TIDF getting hugged by HUGETAU!

I must remind you of HUGETAU's love for you.

Anon, I'll do you one better than dump. Take these links. They'll have all the pictures you'll ever need.

>>19657413
>Being turned off by 40k roleplayers
Dude, everyone does this on /tg/.

>>19657393
No one sees a thread where one person says "FUCK THE ELDAR" and all of a sudden a tripfag rushes to its defense and drags down what was going to be a promising image dump. If I see someone insult my favorite faction, I don't instantly rush to its defense and proclaim that it is the best faction and everyone else sucks, and I certainly don't fucking roleplay a member of the faction in my posts. Yes, you see people calling each other mon'keighs, but that's no different that screaming WAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!, yelling FOR THE EMPEROR!!!, FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!, or FOR THE DARK GODS!!!. But that is much different that running blindly into a thread that has fuckall-nothing to do with your faction and inciting mass rage.

Captcha: O'Reilly

For those of you who are Murricans, the comparison is fairly apt.

>>19657456

I usually don't have a problem and quite enjoy watching people 40k RP because it's either funny or real interesting to read but when It's always the same guy bringing "Omg Gue'la u so butthurt Tau'va 4eva" to every Tay thread it gets old.

>>19657529
Truth, brother.

>>19657529
At least it's better than the "HERESY HERESY HERESY BLAM BLAM BLAM FIVE DA EMPEROR!" bullshit.

>>19657529
But thats how you roleplay as tau. That's like complaining about a space marine going "heretics and empra 4 eva"

>>19657559
But that's how space marines actually are. Tau are nothing like how TIDF portrays them.

>>19657581
How are they supposed to act? Because I don't see anything wrong with the way TIDF posts.

>>19657581
Not even for the whole roleplaying crowd. Just those people in general who pull that shit are ten times more annoying than TIDF could ever be.

Can I put this in already?
Because whenever there is a wh40k thread, he must be there.

>>19657605
Hey man, I like being zealous.

>>19657559
>>19657562

Like this guy said
>>19657523

RP is fine, no one here is criticising RP but theres a difference between BLAM HERESY and this
>>19656527

It's almost astounding how a single mention of Tau in any light brings him all guns blazing to derail a thread to Tau.

Fuck the Henderson scale of plot derailment, we need the TIDF scale of thread derailment.

>>19657633
TIDF scale is around the 0.75 on the Henderson scale.

Thread back on track time?

>>19657633
Guns blazing? You make it sounds like hes attacking people, being ignorant, and being obnoxious, which is what hes actually defending tau fluff from.

>>19657699

>>19655916

serious question, since the slits on the tau's face differ between gender, strait I for male and the T for female, does that mean that they are actually sexual organs? I know the vagina face joke about the tau but is it literally a vagina? do they reproduce by making out? or do vesspid like insects pollinate from male to female slits?
should we be censoring Taus faces because they essentially have genitalia on their faces?


I'm not trolling (well i kinda started out trolling but now im actually curious)

>>19657817
Interesting question

Let's ask the magus.

>>19657817
No, they're just....facial features.

>>19657297
>you're one of the better namefriends on this board, and I enjoy your shtick.


I appreciated the compliment, friend.

>Humanity

I need to clarify something. The Tau Empire opposes the Imperium. The corrupt order that binds Humanity to a cycle of self inflicted suffering and misery.

The Tau do not bear ill will or hate towards Humanity. They feel pity and compassion towards them which compels the Tau to seek to redeem and reform this broken and sick race.

>HFY

This concept is applicable under the Greater Good. The Gue'vesa can take pride in their respected role in the Tau Empire and their accomplishments in the service of Tau'va.

A Humanity united under the Greater Good is vastly superior to the Humanity slaved to the Imperial Creed.

Indeed, The Imperial Creed is inhuman. It robs the humans of their very humanity and turns them into hateful monsters and machines. Any reasonable human would turn against such an abhorrent doctrine.

>>19657456
There is a double standard set in place by the Imperial propaganda machine on this forum.

>>19657431
People started accusing me of hanging on Xeno's ''Coattail'' to get attention. You would not believe how much I resent that. As if I would lower myself to such a thing. I decided to do what I should have done long ago. Let that nonperson be and ignore its existence.

Hmm...at least I still have HEUG. There is nothing bad about her expect that she is fat and...is..married...to a Dark El'Dar...

You know what? BOTH OF THEM CAN GO STRAIGHT TO AG'NI!
Hu

>>19657836
What is TIDF's formal rank in the caste again?

Isn't Shas a higher rank?

>>19657836
hey Tidf,

for once in your pathetic life you can serve a purpose,
answer >>19657817

>>19657836
But HUGETAU shows proper devotion to the greater good, despite being HUGE.

Look how she shamelessly protects this firewarrior team from enemy fire!

>>19657850
Your question already got answered.

>>19657832
well they certainly are that.

but the fact they vary so drastically between gender suggests some sort sexual organ or maybe some Tau version of a mammary gland

>>19657863
No, it's just bone structure.

>>19657852

I thought she showd devotion to the greater good BY being HUGE?

>>19657871
Well. Yes.

Her HUGENESS does allow her to be of great benefit, and she is the CHAMPION HERO OF HUGE for the Greater Good.

Shes good at sumo.

>>19657849
shas is "fire".

>>19657889
No I mean the tripfag.

>>19657870

ok, not nearly as funny as vagina faces but there ya go.

So does it serve a purpose at all? or is it just folded skin?

>>19657906
It does nothing.

>>19657921

alright fair enough. i was starting to think it might be some sort of "nose" like thing for the tau. but if its just nothing i guess that's fine too. i just assume that something that is such a prominent feature on the Tau face might be something relatively important.

but whatever. thanks for answering.

>>19657961
I ask myself the same thing whenever I see an efldar.
Why long, pointy ears? Why?

>>19657990

Their creators had a fetish for ear-nibbling?

>>19657990
Improves hearing.

>>19657990
because elf

>>19657990
well they're space elves. it's dumb but i made my peace with that long ago. Rationalizing it as a minor evolutionary trait that remains from long long ago.

The tau face slit just gets to me. mostly because of the gender thing and im almost certain evolution wouldn't keep something like that around if it didn't do something. But i guess i gotta chalk it up to GW not thinking things through again.

>>19657921
...Expect make the Gue'la feel awkward.

The sight of Gue'la squirming in their seats trying not to directly stare at it is quite funny.

It takes them a while before they get used to it.

It is not her HEUGNESS that offends.

>>19656139
That picture is now titled Tau are stupid, serious though, did the aim of the tau in that pic make anyone else cringe?

Looks like two separate pictures photo shopped together poorly.

>>19658119
cut him some slack

everyone knows that Tau do not have any peripheral vision. if its not happening directly in front of them for all they know it doesn't exist.

that tau is firing ahead like a good tau. He has no idea he's being flanked.

>>19658119
Yeah.

Their faces are all scrunched up and horrible looking for some reason and their aim is atrocious.

It's the whole generic GW "This faction seems to be stomping on the other with zero casualties on the winning side" picture.

Funny how this only seems to target the tau. On some of their box art (For sniper drones, and one of their tanks), it actually shows some of the products in question being destroyed, like a sniper drone exploding or one of the tanks getting shot down.

This doesn't seem to occur in any other boxart. Why?

>>19658118
>...Expect make the Gue'la feel awkward.

I can attest it has ruined MANY negotiations,

Tau: So we are willing to return world X in exchange for world Y
Imperial: I'm sorry what?
Tau: you were staring at my forehead slit weren't you?
Imperial: what? no! why would i stare at that disgusting slit right in the middle of your face? I haven't even noticed it once since we began negotiations!
Tau: ... Look can we just get back to busine- STOP TRYING TO POKE IT WITH THAT PENCIL!
Imperial: SORRY! i don't know what thats about. where were we?
Tau: *sigh* we were about to sign terms of a cease fire remember?
Imperial: is it a vagina?
Tau: Fuck this we're going back to war!

>>19658156
Which is especially odd as the Tau are one of the races who least believe in expendable troops (not as much as the eldar though) and whose use of firepower, mobility and stealth is very much designed to avoid casualties (when things go as expected- which is what faction and box art are generally meant to show).

>>19658257
you're not getting the full picture.

here's a visual representation of what led to that

>>19658257
I know.

It's supposed to show the race at their best, yet they are getting destroyed.

For examples, see: Piranha boxart, and sniper drone boxart.

>>19656934
oh, carry on then.
