Cato Sicarius speaks in a high pitched, nasal voice and mentions his own name in every sentence. This is cannon. Doesn't matter how many IP claims James Workshop throws at us

Cato Sicarius is my favourite Imperial Warcriminal.

​@@TurboSpaceKittenWar Hero* (Cant be a war criminal if the gov and law is on your side)

​@@fabiansuckfull9446IP claims just mean it's Canon

Oh man I can already hear Uriel and the Chapter Master groaning in the background.

Tactically.

"my goals are beyond your comprehension!" "No they're not, you want us dead and ran at us with a stick!"

To be fair, under 90% of circumstances that is a viable tactic for Astartes as their armor can reliably protect them from small arms and crew served weapons. The problem is that Tau and Necrons are two exceptions to that rule.

based

@@kingjonstarkgeryan8573ehhhh if warhammer was more realistic with warfare that would get them targeted real quick by heavy weapons

Just imagining Angron for a second before putting the thought aside.

Guiliman shudders because Farsight is telling facts

Also Farsight: If you really want a dishonor from me, then I'll send some of my men to kill your medics.

Didn't cato also kill a defenseless tau woman after she literally say "did your emperor really want this?!"

@bottheskitarii8881 Yeah, very brutally as well. Tho to be fair, his response was correct. Big E was a total xenophobe, who do you think introduced the "purge the xenos " mandate?

​@@bottheskitarii8881 she was going for a gun as far as I remember

@@bottheskitarii8881 normally theyd have a point but yes the emperor didnt care at all about alien life. sure he wasnt pro extermination either but he just didnt vaule anything other then human lives.

to be fair Cato Sicarius is pretty famous for being a self-righteous douche

Seems the Ultrasmurfs are too used to wearing the plot power armor.

The type of player to type "GG" in a humble sense

It's anyone else tired of seeing astartes just being unga bunga at a xenos instead of just pulling their heads out of their asses? Suffer not the blood vessel to pop, holy shit..😂

​@@blargminton I feel like thats most of the astartes

He didn’t just reverse engineer most of it, he literally wrote a book about beating the codex, which many Tau have access to.

​@@Azorees-oj5zrat least those of the farsight enclave do

Farsight being the best T'au as usual lmao

@@mariofan1ish tbf. the dudes got several lifetimes of whooping ass for a tau and has the greatest tactical mind of their entire species as an AI companion..it was kind of a given.

​@@romanplays1 And most space marines are still older than him or his mentor with way more experience and still get clapped like that. Kinda shows the flaw in sticking to all these imperial doctrines.

​@@mr.ashenfire2624If you know lore, Cato Sicarius has been thoroughly humbled is kinda in a state of ultradepression since the incident in the warp

so nothing new

​@@mr.ashenfire2624 all Imperium leader need it. Especially space marine and Inquisition. Only guardsman are more or less OK (depend of the corps), even if their leader REALLY badly need it (and learn than proper "honor" is not to send soldier to death for nothing other than perceived pride)

Oh Sicarius did a lot of bad show off decisions in that book. But as I understand it was his younger years as a squad leader (sergeant?) still.

Yeah the entire Daemoclese Crusade was a giant blow to Sicarius's ego. What was supposed to be an easy week of slaughtering weak Xenos became one of the bloodiest campaigns of his career as the Tau continually surprise him.

Honestly, from what I've seen of his canon personality, even the recent non gary-stu stuff, his TTS version seems way more likable.

@@theshlauf It is, watching him and the chapter master Kalgar is like watching Tom and Jerry basically 😂 *I CAST F I S T*

TTS reference, used to bring joy... Now it's only sadness.

​@@codysing1223what was lost to us still hurt.....

​@@codysing1223 look up my big golden buddy

I honestly think he's probably right in a more civilized time but the warhammer 40k galaxy is monstrous. But true honour is a rare thing to find in such a galaxy as well and should be preserved. Unfortunately many creatures take advantage of such noble actions. And don't hold themselves to such standards.

Not to mention, Farsight could have EASILY killed them all, he gave them the chance to leave, he gave them the dignity, “you are beaten, if we where monsters we would just have killed you, we aren’t the ones spiting acid and swearing”

Cato is now more mature and depressed after what happen to him while stuck in the warp.

Hope he gets another depression arc

​@@dominusbalial835Too bad honour gets you killed in a setting that cares nothing about honour or kindness as it is easily brought up its also so easily brought back down in an endless tide of war and wickedry

Because they kind of are.

Not just bullies, but war criminals too. In real life, attacking a medic or unarmed enemy soldier is considered a war crime, and Farsight basically explained a part of Geneva Convention to Ultramarine.

​@@RebelWvlfTo be fair, I don't think anyone follows these rules.

They’re genocidal supersoldiers. They are bullies. That’s if you want to be really polite about it.

​@@RebelWvlfbloody hell 38k years before and we still don't follow it

Yeah and his model is cool too lol

I just want the weepy boy to be like "shit yeah, man. fuck I wish we could fight fair" and of course farsight's like "skill issue"

Guilliman would be the most likely to ally with the T'au.

⁠@@philosotree5876though I believe guilliman would see through the Tau Facade

@@warpig1343 there is no facade.

@@recurvestickerdragon ??? He was the one who initiated it.

It means we arent shooting or own kin-men enough-enough needs more warpstone

As funny as that is, emp's do work on ork tech because ork know certain things make tech stop working. Sorta like how ork dakka jams because all ork know that a gun will jam sometimes.

​@@kentoncottam1863 That's why they all gotta carry a good old choppa! Nothing stops choppas from working!

@@davisdf3064 absolutely true

Ork comments are great, and are valid to post no matter which faction is being discussed.

Does not stop guardsmen and non electric gear from being used so guardsmen can handle emp’s all day

probably guilliman would be pretty cool with it if alone...though he might have to be a bit blunt if the ultrasmurfs were watching.

honestly theyd be the only time in warhammer that some GUINE DIPLOMACY could be accomplished by talking in a mettering room.

The two would shake hands at the beginning and at the end of the conversation

Personally the bit that i found interesting in that book (all of it was good but this bit stuck with me) was the breakdown of his tactics against orks. How he went for specific targets and put effort ibto denying them scrap.

@@carlzerris6566 that’s what i especially love about them. Because of their small numbers they make up in actual tactics. It’s interesting to read about a non space marine sometimes. It reinvigorates my love of the franchise to see other factions pulling weight. Hope the enclave gets to play a bigger role in the future.

I, CATO SICARIUS, am sad that an alleged Ultramarine main can't stand I, CATO SICARIUS! uwuwuwuuwuwuwuwuwuwu 😢

You can honestly chalk that kind of thing up to in universe factors. Inconsistent make of things from forge worlds. Different forms of power armor. Hell even improperly oiled/maintained gear. Incense ash getting in the wrong place would make it difficult to move a joint.

Higher gravity

I think in helsreach it’s similar, armor got deactivated and the marine was trapped by the orks

Most can, but barely, thing is while yes they probably could mive they would be so slugish essentially anny force should be able to beat them plus we don't know the nature of the emp blast, as some devices will lock themselves in when they shortcircuit, maybe that's what happened, maybe the hydraulics locked it, in this case marine whould be completely stuck

@@mattor300 Basically like power armor without a fusion core from Fallout 4 right?

Sicaruis is a giant mary sue on the levels of rey skywalker. He's been turned into a complete joke of a character.

He is loved because he is the way he is

Well, that's kinda the Imperium of Man's thing...

Watch tts, that Man don't stop going on about glory. "Becausee cato sicarrius...... Cato sicarrius..."

He is a living meme, becasue- I, CATO SICARIOUS, AM THE GREATEST MARINE TO EVER LIVE, BECAUSE I, CATO SICARIOUS, AM THE BEST SWORDSMAN AND WARRIOR OF THE ENTIRE ULTRAMARINES CHAPTER AND I, CATO SICARIOUS WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY XENO TO LIVE, AND FOR EVERY FACT IT SPEATS, I, CATO SICARIOUS, WILL SPEAT ACID IN RETURN, BECAUSE I AM CATO! SICARIOUS

Or weaponize against him

seems like there setting the tau up for a future focused expansion. splintering the tau into three factions the farsight enclaves the imperial tau OG's and the Relgious Tau worshipping the new choas god of harmony.

The Tau aren't even a real enough threat to warrant Exterminatus.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 💔

FATALITY

@@victorcharles27 Sicarius deserved that tbh

*presses x to doubt.*

Prop serves came in, or marines with working armor...

Technically, Kroot can move them. That's why they pinned them down.

both of those just sounds like the most peaceful yet agonizing “truce”! either being dragged/lifted one at a time by what few of your brothers still have operating suits while your enemies just watch or your enemies (who you are likely violently xenophobic against) dragging you to your ships. Rough day for the blue boys

honestly a hilarious mental image. imagine some pissed off ultramarine with dicks drawn on his face being carted away on a hand dolly by menial serfs

@@Ineedanamepleasemust have been real always when they came back, like an awkward silence for the next month or so

Marines in general can (mostly). I don't remember the name, but one of the organs implanted into a marine makes their saliva acidic. Helps in eating certain foods.

​@@Zekrom249 Yeah, they can. It's actually the flaw in Dorn's geneseed. The Sons of Dorn (Imperial Fists, Black Templars, Crimson Fists, etc) cannot spit acid like the rest of the Astartes because of this geneseed flaw.

How often do they run in to emps anyway not very often

Could hace sworn theres another faction besodes the tau that use emp weapons

they were, the kroot were keeping them in place.

What this video left out was the fact that the Astartes were also getting pinned down by Kroot who are strong enough to throw hands with Orkz.

@@anthonyrodriguez8788idk I had not see this myself to know

You know sicarius would get his competence soon enough

Death Korps pulls out trench shovels; *happy gasmask noises*

they were able to move slowly but the hunting pack of kroot restraining them with a knife at their throat kept them in place.

He’d probably hate them at the same time because they’re closer to what him and the Emperor wanted than the modern Imperium, he’d love Farsight though, someone who managed to completely dissect the Codex is someone that he’d love to spend hours talking to and debating with. He’d also like talking to Farsight simply because Farsight is one of the only other people in the galaxy to have commonsense.

@@Azorees-oj5zrthough this would require the codex to be patched up after this
