If you enjoyed this video then please don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment! It literally helps make more of these! *Clarification* Some of the Demiurg of the Leagues of Votann are auxiliaries. My mistake. Should've written that better.

Than everything changed when the fire nation..... decided to leave and do its own thing. Random Ethereals: DAMM YOU FARSIGHT!!!

I sent this to the players in my D&D game. 2 of them are playing Tau with an Earth Caste Mech Pilot and an Air Caste Ranger

There are some moments of dark humor in the history of the T'au, like the time a T'au diplomat thought he would be the one to tame the brutal Orks and add them to tbe empire. He even spent time learning the Greenskins language. Let's just say that he failed.

The moment T'au gets a chaos faction, the caste system will be: *The Greater Bad* Fire - The Greater Blood Water - The Greater Cuss Air - The Greater Brrrrrrrtt Earth - The Greater Flex

1:57 Water Caste (poor) funniest line in the whole video

W-Water Caste Tau p-pretty... Jokes aside, awesome video. A really good introduction onto what a Tau is.

I really want more Auxiliaries like a full army's worth, I love the idea of them so much they just need more lore and models other than the Kroot.

Covenant: I am interstellar alien Empire that is made out of 11 different alien species! T'au Empire: Those are rookie numbers! I have way over 45 different aliens as part of my faction! Covenant: Well shit that is impressive. Are they just as fleshed out as ours? T.E.: LMAO, NAH! All of them putt together have roughly the same amount of lore and art as the Drones.Remove the Kroot and the freaking Yonhet have more stuff than them! Covenant: Damn, that's...very sad actually. Seems like a complete waste of potential as well T.E.: It really is...

Let a Klingon insult a water caste and see what happens.

Love the Tau, great faction and I'm a weeb so Alien Gundam are appreciated

I love this series. Keep up the good work.

Not even 30 seconds in and the intro got me

I should report this to the Inquisition… but I don’t get paid enough to snitch

Man, I love the art, the presentation, each character was really cool.

Love your art and lore, great video

Love your narration good work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

good job on the watercaste voice actor earned you a like

I sent this to my colleague, who works at the Inquisition. You will be contacted, heretic.

The Tau have one of the best aesthetics in the franchise.

The tau is such a cool faction

I love this video and the cute art. But there is a detail about the Ethereal that i find many tau lore video forget to mention. See it is very true that the Ethereal hold all political powers that when they speak, everyone stops and listen. However, this is only true to a certain rank. Those rank apprentice, prince and prelate do not hold such power except only to those of other caste of the same rank or lower. This means that an Earth caste Overseer (rank 4) can order an Ethereal caste prince (rank 2) and the Ethereal will have to obey. But then again, an Ethereal caste prince has more connection to a Ethereal Supreme (max rank) then anyone on the earth caste can have. And the earth caste member who gave such an order will have to explain to an ethereal why he gave that order (Say, the prince was about to press a big red "DO NOT TOUCH" button and had to be stopped?). So events like these are situational and rare. But they do happen as this is how a young Ethereal caste member learns how the society around them works over time. Despite popular beliefs, Ethereal are not born all knowing and with unlimited political powers. They are born young, learn over time and then earn the ranks like anyone else in Tau society. I bring this up cause i seen too many people say that the Tau caste are "just like the Indian caste system" (where a child of a upper caste can order an elder of a lower caste around) but that's simply not true here. Even the highest rank of the ethereal caste listen to the equally ranked members of the other caste before making the final decision. They can't just barge in and demand the impossible right away without knowing what resources they have first... this isn't the Imperium! And don't get me started when two equal ranked ethereal have a disagreement (see how the ethereal of the core septs reacted to the disastrous Fourth Sphere of Expansion and finally decided they had to send Shadowsun to stop them physically). But that's another story. Also not a really important detail but regarding the auxiliary forces, it is true that they are allowed to work for any of the caste branches (and even earn ranks!). However, they rarely choose these positions. It is mostly chosen for them based on their skills, attributes and if the situation calls for more members of that caste (example: the earth caste needs more engineers, the air caste needs more pilots, ork invasion is coming and we need more fire warriors, etc...). It's for this reason that the title "Gue'vesa" given to the human living in their society literally mean "Human helper". And fun lore bits too, a human regardless of their faction affiliation are called "Gue'la" in general and a space marines are called "Gue'ron'sha" (literally "engineered human warrior"). If you are curious, humans in tau society who has commanding power, be it politically, military or as engineer team leaders, are called "Gue'vesa'vres" (literally "trusted human helper"). Technically the other xenos races also have a similar system but it is mostly the humans, vespid and the kroot who fall in that rule... at least that we know of (Come on GW, give us an auxiliary codex or more stories about them!). Still over all, like it is said in the video, xenos living in the Tau empire have more social mobility then say the average human in the Imperium have. But all must live under the whim of the Tau ethereal caste, with their good intentions or evil ones.

the combat form MONAT is always forgotten...lone operatives do not seek glory on the battlefield

Wow! Such an obvious and beautiful intro that nobody did before 😂 Bravo!

Great video. I love your voice

I just realized, Tau are chaos tainted, each caste represents a different god, water are slaanesh, fire khorne

Just as good as the last few! Still calling for Eldar to be next though!

The into is perfect

all guardsmen squat referance? Nice

you should do chaos daemons next

I’m not gonna lie… this system actually seems like an upgrade to certain real life governments. The concentration of power is a little fishy, but considering everybody has a role and protected rights, that already puts them up higher. The lack of racism, sexism, corruption and religious persecution is also a plus.

Your art is incredible.

nice video

Your qoute at 11:57 is literally from book 📖 that i owned from the novel call "warhammer 40k, Farsight empire of lies" that seen was kinda funny 😂in my head cause the Ethereal calm everyone in the train soo much that someone broke their own bones in the cramp trained.

Will we ever see this with World of darkness VTM. i would love to see it

ORKZ ORKZ ORKZ!!!!!!

Early gang>>>>>>>>>

Not Shure if someone already told you this, but the votann are not part of the tau empire they gave the tau some of there out dated tech and are friends with them to a degree but there not part of the empire

Hoof pic??

If is something i wish i could tell to the whole tau race it would be to humanity was just like them but there was no one to save them in time.

The Tau Caste System is Somewhat a Net Negative for the Tau as a Whole to be Honest

can you do the eldar ranks

Random commisar: on a scale of heresy to non heresy of this video, HErEsY!!! Blam... Jk I like your vids bro. Could you tell us what other vids you have planed?

Can you try the Orks ranks next

What about a Tyranid hierarchy?

Do guardsmen!

1:52 I thought that drone was a Botafumeiro, zamn, I hate living in Galicia frfr 💀💀💀

Which cast would have artists, animators, and chefs?

I would Tau Ideologie is pretty based

The Ethereal cast is and has always been shady af. It's no wonder why Farsight just up and left and when you read any Tau related stories, you pretty much come to the same conclusion that he has, don't trust them in any way shape or form, they may have united the other castes, but to whose benefit?

Yo!!! Xenos!!!!!! Purge them!!!!!

I smell heresy.

DO DE ORK

Ok but when do we get the chinese elements cast. Shiw me the metal tau.

Love your videos, but there's one issue: "Anyone can join the Empire" Orks, Necrons, and Space Marines are kill on sight, refusing to even attempt diplomacy with them. For context, the Imperium at times parlays with the Orks(especially Blood Axe Orks) and the necrons seem to work with the Imperium more than against them in major conflicts, such as during the defense of Cadia and the Blood Angel incident. The Tau are unironically more intolerant than the Imperium, they're just better at propaganda.

more

Yeaaa, I have agreed and joined due to the 34 rules of Ta'u propoganda.

ok now i get it now its like an avatar legend of Ange or Korra cast system of elements in Warhammer 40k.

Yeah yeah, until the Fire Nation came all over our cities and coastlines.

Caste not Cast

Everyone wants himself a Water caste wife, but no one asks, why do they have such big holes on their faces compared to others? Also, where you are wrong is: a person can't do "between spheres"(two at the same time to be exact), but it can switch caste if desired. It is very rare(and hard to achieve), but it can be done.

Is there an indian caste ? A separate tau caste that has indians 🤷‍♂️

Calling Tau social hierarchy system as caste is not accurate at all. Real life caste system is actually worse, the lower you are in the hierarchy, the more likely you are to be treated as a sub-human. Tau society is more like modern society, where ruling position is unofficially hereditary, but commoners are entitled to fundamental and equal rights, except the very poor ones naturally, etc
