Ah you see...

Farsight is not like Horus, he knows what to fight.

The Tau don't actually know how big the Imperium of man is, they think it's quite small maybe a bit bigger than the Tau empire, the poor fools.

yeah...
I don't buy that.. with the trade that they have already set up humans, top of the shopping list would be maps!

PaniC...

Oh hello little Xenos alien scum, you would like to have a map of the Imperium? Wouldnt everyone!
Not really because it would be stupidly huge, with a tiny dott showing the Tau empire.

I'm not sure if any rogue trader that has buisness with tau has a complete map of the imperium.
Maybe its only a picture of the galaxy an everything is painted in imperial colours.

And yes,he who believes in greater good is a "greater fool" .

Whose the greater fool, the fool or the fool that follows him? Besides the Imperium of man is stupidly huge, it's across the entire milky way, so they cant draw it to scale with the planets, because of the large amount of them.

As i said: they get a pic of the galaxy,declare a color as imperial and paint the whole pic with this color,
changing a ,lets guess ,white sector map to complete universe-wide imperialspace.

Its not foolish to follow the original way designed by him on terra.

I go wite space_hoppo and 1hadhq
maby a space marien mite have annof little mappse to make it compleet and de inq micht to


sorry spelling corector is still down

Do you think if the tau knew how big the Imperium really was they'd give up? Not even they can be so stupid as to fight something that big! Even though they'd probably win seeing as the Imperium can barely do anything without it taking 5 years to be decided upon

Imperial reaction is slow - yes.

Imperial reaction is absolut devastating - yes.

conclusion: anyone dumb enough to attack and trying to hold position is dead meat.

Yeah the Tau did annoy the Imperium before. They wiped them out in a glorius Crusade that made the Tau cry. It can be done to them.

The first crusade was not good planned,but hit them hard.Next one will be bloody and .

Yeah and they wont lose as many men, maybe hire ork freebooters as well, kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

nah, this time the Tau can take land easy. The Imperium is side tracked near the eye of terror. Thats priority one, not a bunch of Communist ants... Taking land will be easy, especially if no-one tells the Imperium its gone missing

those noone mentions thing never worked

Is the main corridor between imperium and Tau not guarded by farsight?
He may let no etheral pass and thus he can "steal" firewarriors from them to refill his ranks.

It's not stealing if no one complains. He wont go near Etherals i think either.

Not he must move,they!

Enough Broadsides will silence Farsight, he won't be a thorn for too long, just Nuke the renegade Moron. Actually, do Tau even have Nukes? If not, hit him with their equivalent

They don't like nukes, because you cant use the planet after.

Fine, then swamp him with Kroot, they're expendable, regardless of what the greater good says

Not too farsight they arn't he'd prob make them join him seeing as kroot are quite wussy.

say that to ones face and we'll see what they say! besides, farsight can't pay them as he has no solid income, and Kroot are Merc's so need money to do it

Or forests to live in. Besides farsight is a master of CQC so he could easily beat them down.

Not so. In a recent game I played a Guardsman injured farsight twice in HtH, so kroot might do better than you think

When its going so easy to assasinate farsight,why does he live?

The etherals might know what happens if they kill a commander.
All Tau can see their communism then and who wants to be a "red ant in space"?
The masses obey as long as they believe,if it turns to be forced to do,someday Mon'tau is near.

because a mummy Tau and a daddy Tau loved each other very much...etc

besides, communism failed here so why should the Tau make it work. All it'll take is a tau from one Caste to think, actually I want to do something else and the whole system colapses.

Be the Tau are blue communists, not red communists it's slightly different.

And the difference is?
This blue communists are not camouflaged red's ?

The blue ones don't have a stalin. They have Aun'Va.

Not Mao?

Just their eternal blue space pope as leader for galaxy domination?
