Omg how did I say Kaminoans wrong, just caught that

It's OK, who gives a crap about xenos feelings.

A video about the Horus heresy or a video series about each legion would be awesome PS Amazing artwork as always :D

You made a video game pitch vid, I think a part 2 would be amazing. Just found your channel today and I’m already hooked

@@TemplarBlack. true. I like the Kaminonians because they have easily stranglable necks

Lmao, typical tau reaction when the enemy gets within 100 feet of them. Thanks for watching!

@@KrakDuk T'au players don't call it the Fight phase, they call it the "Remove models" phase

@@nickz1259 lmaoo, sounds about right. Even in killteam one of the the only things I feel comfortable charging with my guardsmen are tau

Should have been ‘6th friend we’re clusterfucked’ to be perfect though…

Their physical ability falls “short” compared to other races

@@coleoswald8982 doubt it, in the tabletop the Kin (the Demiurg by their actual name) are as strong as marines

Gw strikes again !

It actually makes a lot of sense. The Nicassar's evolution centered a lot around the warp, to the point they use it to perceive the world around them and move mostly by their telekinesis. The Nicassar themselves understand the warp, but can't really explain it to the Tau. To make a poor analogy: imagine humans find a super advanced species of blind, deaf ant-like creatures that perceive the world and communicate mostly trough smell. How the fuck would you explain classical mechanics or electricity to them?

@@marcospatricio8283 mean a.) the tau could still research the phenomena that they create. As we see in the imperium you can still learn about and understand psychic phenomena without being psychic. B.) the tau have humans in their society who are also psychers probably even a few sanctioned psychers and navigators who jumped ship. C.) you can describe the practical aspects of someone even if they arnt capable of it. Sure the owl bears may not be able to articulate every aspect but explaining that the basics shouldn’t be that hard. I can explain driving a car to someone even if they arnt physically capable of driving one themselves. Your premise assumes that the nikkasar can’t communicate complex ideas to the tau which is verifiably false given they had enough common ground to you know integrate into tau society

@@azurewraith2585 mate, I assume it's not the case, but you're coming off as kinda angry and putting words in my mouth. I'm just trying to have a friendly chat, ok? This is a silly discussion about a made up universe. If it is affecting you negatively, you should probably just ignore me and move on. Assuming I just read you wrong and we can continue, I'll address your points one by one. a) I never said they don't. Keyword: "research". That means "observing phenomena and learning trying very hard to understand them", not "instantly knowing it". Research takes time and progresses in steps. The Tau were in the stone age 6K years ago. They are at most 5K years old. It's very plausible they just didn't have enough time to understand the warp properly. b) yes. They also don't understand the warp that well. Prospero, for example, had a massive population of psychers and thousands of years of study (the wiki states the very foundation of the colony was related to psychically talented humans), and they still didn't learn the chaos gods existed until it was too late. And to make things worse, possession among human psychers who aid in research must be very common, which is both a great hazard and a source of false information. Psychers and navigators are certainly very important in Tau research, and I'd love to have some in the Tau empire, specially in a book. But they are not easy and readily available sources of knowledge. c) I think you're misunderstanding my point, but I don't blame you. My background makes me forget how hard it was for me to learn and accept that. I'm a CS student with emphasis in robotics in my 5th year (which means I probably learnt this stuff 3/4 years ago) and let me tell you, mate: we can't explain or replicate lots of shit humans do. There's over 40 years of research on bipedal robots, and about halfway we just gave up on programming them to walk and have them learn it instead. Precisely because walking is so instinctive to us, we can't understand or replicate it's minutiae. And that's not the only thing. Edge detection is very hard, object segmentation as well, object permanence is night-impossible to achieve as far as I know, and so on and so forth. Manipulators are also very hard to make, and while soft robotics are proving very promising, we didn't even try to program these and have been using ML since the begging. I get that it is very counter intuitive, but these are the facts, and I'm basing myself on them to reach my conclusion. If we can't put easily instinctive concepts we ourselves are capable of into words or to use in technology, do you really think we would have an easy time teaching them to a species so unlike our own?

Don't forget the Kroot who use the warp regular whenever they go out in their warshperes to find new contractors

Thank you! That’s some high praise, glad to get some approval from the greenskin community!

lol perfect analogy

Tons of Salmonella wannabe channels lately.

@@insertname9736 krakduk isn't a wannabe he's different to sam but he does have a very similar humour and manner of speech

@@insertname9736 krakduk isn't a wannabe he's different to sam but he does have a very similar humour and manner of speech

Ya I love lore that’s just like, oh by the way this species is a giant bug monster and they make ships. Even if it’s not expanded on it actually makes the setting feel bigger than like 5 factions or whatever fighting. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it

I think that's why I love the Tau, seeing that there's more species than like 5. I'm always bummer out hearing about the xenos that were wiped out in crusades cause those are like cool factions we'll just never see.

The only thing I love more than 40K is dead memes and trends🤣 Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy the channel

FOR REAL. To be fair tho 40K is almost synonymous with missed potential, so many cool little things that end up never getting models😞 thanks for watching!

Maybe DnD owlbears need to be 20 years old or something trademark idk.

@@martind5653 D&D doesn't own the concept of an owl-bear hybrid, just the creature design and name itself. The Nicassar are fine.

THATS WHAT I DONE BEEN SAYING

What you're saying is that you want more Space Marines, right?

Lmao, tik tok was the true grimest dark after all. Thanks for watching!

This makes me think of a tau krotox

Ya I read about that, makes me wonder how they even eat a necron. They must just be able to bite through absurdly tough things.

Necrodermis is technically made up of uncounted numbers of microscopic nanoscarabs, a kroot that eats it will be eaten from the inside out. Tyranids are currently working on a way to digest necrodermis however so they can incorporate it into their bioforms like they do with other minerals.

An auxiliary Killteam would be so awesome, with each specialist being a different Xenos species. I heard rumors the next Killteam box will be Scions vs Vespids, so if true that’s right up my alley and super hype. Thank you again! Glad you enjoyed the video

That would be great! They did the same thing with Tau so maybe... but i doubt it will be just vespid. Tho it would he fun to see what other kind of weapons they would have

As someone who only watches the Hobbie from the outside .. aren't there some Age of Sigmar minis that could fit ?

Yea just a single unit type from each would be enough. A Korg as a Titanic unit would be enough XD

Lmaoo, Rip Morrelian children

You know about that old, possibly decanonized Drukhari character Cruellagh the Vile?

@@tau-5794 40K if it was good:

Lol thank you! That’s good to hear

Oh what I didn’t even know about those dudes. That’s really funny, wish I had them in the video. Thanks for pointing them out!

@KrakDuk No problem! I play Tau on the Tabletop so I love looking at all the potential models we will never have!

@@alexandermartinez2115 that’s too real lmao. I feel similar reading about various guard regiments

Ah thank you very much. That’s a high honor, I love his stuff lol

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoy my videos!!

Ooh yeah good idea. Drawing some sslyth would be cool too. Thanks for watching!

Dark Eldar in general are great for comparing with high school clique culture

Aye thanks a lot! Hope you like the vid👍

Thanks! They’re fun to draw

Nah, clearly the declining birth rates were because the human men couldn't have kids with Tau women, despite their best efforts.

Or its a sign of their life improving with education as it's the case of our world. The better the lives of people, the lower the birth rates.

Me too, the nicassar and Vorgh would be super cool to see. Thanks for watching!

Ya, tbh that DOW ending kinda stuck in my head when I played it and I didn’t realize it was mostly not a thing for the tau otherwise so my bad on that one. Thanks for watching! Tau are definitely one of the lesser evils in the setting haha

@@KrakDuk Well nobody is truly innocent in 40k, the whole "there is only war" thing is kind of the basis of the setting. But personally I'm huge tau fan, especially their auxiliaries like the gue'vesa because how they show a young race trying to hold to their principles in a galaxy that doesn't care about them. Funnily enough they remind me or the "The cold indifference of the universe vs the indomitable human spirit" meme more then the imperium itself. Good video regardless!

For me that ending makes sense would have happened. After all, you need to keep some populations on check.

@@KrakDuk yeah and like the entire sector solar system whatever that area was in soul storm used to seem loyal to the tau but like they went into mass rebellion against them and restored the imperial guard within months of the imperium returning so I took it as a if they rebel against the tau they use sterilization as a form of eugenics

@@andresr.viguera9791 considering the Imperium would just straight up genocide any non humans (and some abhumans) on the planet i reckon the Tau is still significantly more merciful

Oh ya I read about the greater good warp god. That’s pretty funny and makes sense with how warp entities are described to work. I didn’t realize the sterilization thing was mostly imperium propaganda. Thanks for pointing that out, I think I was remembering older lore. There are however humans that are integrated into tau society rather than being born into it, for them the reeducation camps make sense for the setting. Especially considering how strong imperial indoctrination can be already. Thanks for watching!

@@KrakDuk No Problem. And yeah the reeducation stuff is probably true but we don’t know exactly. But yeah I just wanted to point out that fault in what you said about Gue’vesa and yeah I do agree with you. Gue’vesa are the best Auxiliaries in the Tau Empire. There’s a few videos by other 40k KZfaqrs if you’re more interested in what it’s like for a Gue’vesa in the Tau Empire but that’s only if you’re interested. (Btw Cadians are also my favorite of the Imperial Guard regiments as well so yeah)

@@Pixel22-fs3tt ya I appreciate it, I honestly did prefer when the tau were less overtly evil. It was an interesting contrast imo, so them not just sterilizing all their human allies is something I’m fine with lol. And hell yeah dude, Cadia stands!

@@KrakDuk Yeah I also prefer the Tau to not be evil. I just interpret that all the evil stuff said about the Tau is just Imperium propaganda to be honest and yeah it Cadia still stands!

@@Pixel22-fs3tt ya I think that works well

Ofc! I actually really enjoy drawing the dark eldar, their pointy bits are a nice departure from the usual round or blocky guys I draw.

Ya I think that would be super cool to see. I heard they might be making a vespid killteam so that and the Kroot expansion may be hints of good things to come hopefully. Thanks for watching! I too would like my little friend clusters on the table

Brood Brothers are just alternate heads for the normal IG kit, gue'vesa would have to be entirely new since they can't have the same heads, legs, or hands as normal fire warriors.

It's a solid decade since I did anything with warhammer, but back in the day kitbashing gue'vesa together was pretty easy. Had a friend who had an army of catachan/tau combo guys way back in 2003! Surely all those plastic minis are still made? Or no?

@@ilmari1452 lol I’m pretty sure the tau and catachan kits are the exact same ones from 2003. Definitely the catachan at least, not sure about the firewarriors. Catachan gue’vesa is pretty interesting. I usually only see cadian styled ones. Catachan guevesa only wear pants, a fire warrior pauldron, and headband🤣🤣

Thank you very much! I always appreciate seeing your kind words

Thank you very much!

@KrakDuk No need to thank, its your work that's amazing!

Thank you very much! Glad you like the vids That’s what I was aiming for. I wanted my channel to have short digestible vids so people could find topics they might want to delve deeper into, either with other channels or the books

Thank you very much! I’m excited to get more videos out, I have a lot of topics I want to cover

I strategically put him in to get you to watch🤣 but ya I hope GW decides to expand the auxillaries some day they’re super cool Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

Lmao fr. They were not beating the commie allegations

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it, I hope to continue to improve my work and grow as a creator

Thank you very much! I appreciate it

Oh hey that’s awesome! Hope you enjoy my videos, there’s a lot more to come

@@KrakDuk Great. Can't wait :D

Haha, I appreciate it. Hope you like this new one

Thanks alot! I also like the tau, they’re actually one of my favorites. I’ll definitely make some more tau lore videos sometime in the future.

Thank you very much! That’s a good idea, going over all the squig variants can be a fun thing to cover. I’ll put it on the list, thanks for the suggestion

Ah nooooo, you had me mistaken. Blue face is a practice by the foolish heretics who betrayed the imperium for the “greater good” It should not be done by righteous guardsmen! Lol true, I didn’t realize how British the tau were As always, Thanks for watching!

Well thank you for creating these vids. It’s a fun little addition to my weekend/Monday

@@Goblin_deez. ofc! I’m just happy people like em lol

Yessir Admech is on the way. Trying to make my way around all the factions. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it

Thank you!

True! I love the 40K fanart community

They might be a part of the next video, but not the focal point unfortunately. I definitely will be covering the orks more in the future though. Next weeks video will probably be 5 models that I think are worse than their previous iteration.

@@KrakDuk ok

Exactly, those foul Xenos make me sick. Even the guevesa make me sick. Even their robots make me sick

Indeed guardsman! Thats the only reason I made a video about the xenos filth
