Its an old Eldar Tactic. Such as the Great Ork Lord Gazkull (i know i can't spell it but he shouldn't have such a odd name) is only a great lord because The Eldar made him a great Lord. Maybe (very small maybe) Farsight has been affected by a Chaos god. Hence the disobeying orders, love of CC for a Tau and his rather old age.

With him being so old what if he is one of the C'tan, the one call the Deceiver?

Maybe used to split the Tau into two. When firewarriors meet Farsight they apparent realise that he's better than they Tau Etherals. Maybe as said some time before that he's in a area where psycic things don't work properly (like the area between 3 Monoliths) and he's been outside the Etherals so much he acts liek a normal person. With a taste for ork blood

Greatest fear of Tau: Mon'tau /

Fire Warriors were said to get heated and a schism of
tau's military cadre can be more devastating than any
external attack.

Yeah seeing as they are the only ones to do any fighting. Farsight is a ledgend among the Tau, like some famous Barbarian warlord famous for killing X amount of people. But he was respected. And for the Etherals to say he's a traitor was a huge blow for Tau pride as they see him as being the Greatest Tau of all time.

Whats the betting after they announced that all the namby pamby little fire warriors went and cried their eyes out

Actually they got kinda pissed.

Farsight was replaced by Shadowsun and Tau sent firewarriors against the imperium to keep em busy.
But far away from home the hold of the Etherals on a firewarriors mind competes with alien influence.
The expansion could stop when more long-time soldiers go "farsight".?

Could or it will expand into mini farsight empires driven on by personal glory in place of the greater good.

Either that or it'll run out of soldiers, according to the Ork codex a rather costly war is being made on the Tau-and they're losing men too quickly. Maybe Farsight was just tired of having men die for a cause that didn't seem to benefit anyone other than the Ethereals

God knows with Farsight, maybe he's suffering a bit from old age and going ever so slightly nutty. However Farsight tends to help Tay forces and add them to his own if there is no Etheral nearby. Maybe he's a Chaos pawn or maybe he's a individual who has feelings and a lust for power or revenge. Maybe Tzeentch has a meaning for him or the Eldar do

A Tau is not a great beacon in the warp.
Any reason to insist on chaos influence?

His weapon = maybe
His armour = not spikey
dex art = no
story = no
tactics = not chaotic,no warp use
psi-abilities = no

I don't see chaos in him.

Eldar is more reliable,theyre often in the "use lower races" mode.
Another shared "Vision" from a farseer ?
Farseer-farsight = eldar Intruder playing Tau ?

I would say Eldar myself. They seem to like the Tau fro some reason, mostly because they attract Eldar Enemies. (Orks, Nid and Man, all of whom have dealt big blows to the eldar.) And maybe more heat for Ttau means less heat for Eldar.

Eldar lead farsight by advice,so he met them?

A harlie has taken farsight's place and acts secretly inmidst the Tau?

No eldar are too highly adviced to meet up with people. They prob used some method to make Farsight do what he must, like Mind Control(partail) or when he was attacking orks they may have killed the warbosses so they dont fight so good. They are known to do that.

Tricky,this eldar.
Wich interests thinkable for those who move ( unnoticed ja him) farsight ?

What I care about is whehter Farsight and shadowsun will eventually fall in love and make out.

Yes blue fish love .

That just doesn't bear thinking about

Think of the children! The poor Children!

Tau have children? Sure ? Never heard that.

Hope,theyre not brother and sister.

lets hope

actually they are...

Ah well they don't like each other. Shadowsun doesn't like farsight, she burnt down his statue on tau with a plasma rifle.

He left her and broke contact.She was dissapointed,got angry and made his statue suffer her wrath.
Typical "Girl without interest in this guy" action.
Remember,they had the same trainer.Time enough to get close.

Maybe the next codex will have commander farsun, or shadowsight.

They could hookup and have a kid his name well be shadowsight.

ha ha, guess you haven't seen enough action movies, ladies are all hot for the guys they do not like!

"ohhh, your dawnblade is so big.... what else is big?"

lmao!

You can tell your Tau by the way he rides his battlesuit. Yeah well the unwanted love is always awesome in my opinion.

Now the only other scandal needs to be revealed is what the sister of battle really do during their time off....

Catholic school girls...
