Anyone has a better relationship with the Orks than the Eldars. If you see an Eldar, you can never assume how they feel about you (beside contempt), and what they plane for you. While if you see an Ork, you know you will very soon be his fight-pal

Guilleman, with one elder in particular does have a better relationship then with the orcs

@@macshadow1150 it kinda is funny to know that both races look the most similar in looks but similar in attitude as well and both are great at the same thing, being assholes

Imperium and eldars are pretty much the same tbh. Both violent and arrogant. They probably see mankind as somewhat equal.

​@@backpackpepelon3867they are the same things in different stages of their own development. The imperium walk a path tread once by the eldari, and the eldari know as such, yet both refuse to admit how similar they are, and so shall both fall, showing the folly of their respective empires

@@PikachuLittle That is only because they are too young to have had any sort of impact at all. They also have literally nothing to offer the Eldar in an alliance.

Fr, their "friendship" are literally you under their command

@@briantarigan7685 hey want some lean for the greater hood?

*FACTS*

@@briantarigan7685 Grimderp retcon is grimderp. 😬

Kinda sorta. The rate of their advancement is rapidly slowing as they have to devote more and more resources away from science/technology development and towards industry, expansion and warfare in order to not get swallowed up by the many threats surrounding them. Poor bastards have Tyrannids coming at them from the intergalactic void, an Ork empire WAAAGH!!!-ing toward them from the opposite side, and the Five Hundred Realms of Ultramar and a Necron Dynasty to the left and right. The most friendly space they have access to is the Damocles Gulf region, which is contested by the Imperium, so they can't expand through there too fast or else the Imperium might send an actual crusade force, which would doom their species.

And they're completely invested in making alliances instead of conquering, meaning they've gotten other xenos to help them like the tiny crab aliens that work on the small size tech.

And yet they are still helluva away from others to make any viable presence. There will be 2 threats: Eldar and Tau, and Imperium will go fight Eldar. There will be 2 threats: Chaos and Tau, and Eldar go fight Chaos, because Tau are still far away to be significant.

Just recently the Faraight Enclave started a Waagh with the Orks because the Tau had better guns than the group that attacked them and Orks took this as a challenge. They called it the Gun Waagh and dedicated themselves to making better guns and out shoot the Tau. Every time a War Boss died other War Bosses would hear and show up to see if they can’t do better.

@@Broomer52 Wasn't it called the Waaagh of Dakka? But yeah, it was great lol

I think you have to combine a lot of that with the queen bee mean girls cheerleader aloof "I'm better than you" attitude as well.

Eldar admit to themselves they're highly prideful race, due to this rarely make alliance even with xenos

It's more of the really, really old guy that tells people to get off his lawn and doesn't go out much cause all his friends died years ago He is old as hell, but still refuses to get any help or assistance and is surprisingly sprightly for his age and will fight you if you get close. And has a huge armament in his house

​@@magnusbjarni Necrons are more like the old guys telling kids to get off his lawn.

​@@JunJun.. Eldar are like Vietnam vets while the Necrons are veterans from WW2 that got to work in the nuclear weapons program during the Cold War. Meanwhile, the Imperium are basically the crayon eating US marines that we all know and love, while the Tau are Gen Z.

Dying race, limited resources to deploy. They withstood their genocide *twice* against the Imperium, which the only reason they won is because GeeDub wants to sell models, because the Imperium would have pulled back and deployed Exterminatus weaponry to prove a point.

Plot armor mostly

Fish vag is an insult I'll be using on The Tau from now on.

@@DevixianTheOriginal I mean the same can be said about the Tyrannids

Imperium: "watches while eating popcorn*

More likely Tau: You need to accept our concept of the greater good. Eldar: No, we won't serve you.

To Tau even have anything in common with fish other than color?

Nah, Alpharius sucks. But Alpharius, on the other hand, is a pretty swell guy.

@@randommadman7348 Eh, Alpharius is alright I guess. But my boy Alpharius has got it going on.

​@@crusader2412 Sure, you could say that about Alpharius but I think Alpharius is the real deal.

​@@crusader2412 i mean they're both fine, but Alpharius? That's the man

I don't who Alpharius is but I'm pretty sure Alpharius is better than Alpharius.

I mean, this is a universe where these things are not only provable, but so understood that the Eldar used to make gods for specific purposes. To them, pretty much everyone else are banging rocks together and calling if technology.

@@Mgauge Except the necrons, who made a habit of killing gods while the eldar were still figuring out how to make them.

Ironically, thats exactly where we're at in the real world right now

@@ynpavo It has at most a few similarities. It is far from "exactly" how it is in the real world.

@@CH3353N1NJ45 it's 'tzeentch', so you were very close. Just missed out the 't' before the 'ch'.

@@brother_sothoth Well that's because Tzeentch rigged it that way.

Tau Psykers are going to be an interesting thing if they ever get them. Though let's be fair... they don't exactly get new things.

I both love and hate how accurate this is.

Shows you how crazy they will defend the maiden worlds!

Elves, not even once

Well, you kind of HAVE TO respond when someone fucks up your maidens.

They don’t they will be doomed even faster.

You assume elves have brains

Some Farseer probably foresaw an outcome which required them to act like complete assholes. You would think that a race which knows about the existence of Tzeentch would be a little more skeptical of psychic visions. Especially since their Farseers have been leading them to consistent defeat and decline for millennia.

"your main setback was partying so hard that you spawned a god" That has a claim to every Eldar sould, essentially sentencing the entire race to eternal torment. Yeah, no biggie.

Oh that totally uninhabited world perfect for colonization? Oh thats ours. Yeah we claimed it ten million years ago and never got around to rebuilding our empire. Opsie! Guess we have to genocide your colonists now hehe rawr XD!!!

Well, not like the rest of the galaxy will offer much better (the imperium says "we kill the greater threat and then we go back to killing each other, the necrons just kill you if you wake up their tombs, nids just nom you, orks will be orks and so on) a tenuous alliance where one side struggles for superiority would still be better than what the rest of the galaxy offers (which, and I want to emphasize, is death).

@@agentc7020 yeah here you are with a fresh faced young race to manipulate and you DON’T jump on the opportunity? Just point the Tau at the Necron Empire right next to them and watch the fireworks

​@@agentc7020 Wouldn't it be even better to just ignore said alliances and just isolate yourself like what the Eldars are doing? Whats the point of an alliance when its just a rivalry with an inferior creature that wants to clearly steal your technology and turn on you after doing so

The problem for the Eldar is that allies are usually just a liability to them. The Eldar are a dying race so they can't really risk losing people and weakening themselves to protect any allies. They are already struggling to protect their own irreplacable Craftworlds and Maiden Worlds. Meanwhile, their allies won't be able to help protect the Eldar in most cases. Because unlike the Eldar, those allies won't be able to use the Webway to simply materialize everywhere in the galaxy. So if an Eldar Craftworld or Maiden World comes under attack, by the time the allies finally arrive it will usually be too late. Also, an alliance might draw attention from enemy forces, and the Eldar usually try to avoid drawing attention to themselves as much as possible to avoid putting themselves at risk unneccesarily. In other words, the Eldar have very little to gain from a permanent, standing alliance with anyone. They are much better off continueing as they are, occasionally making alliances of opportunity with the Imperium but not making any permanent commitments.

You bring up excellent points, I hadn’t considered many of those aspects. Thanks for sharing your point of view! 😄

I don’t think they are allied, imperial rebels join them

There is definitely a tacit understanding on the Imperial side that the Tau are better neighbors than other races. They serve as a great buffer for that Necron Dynasty and Ork Waaaargh

@@PikachuLittle and Tyranids. The necrons trump all but Farsight wrote The Book of the Beast and Tau are a hard counter to tyranids

They didn't become the best race bey being fools.

@@purevertonly because of their sugar daddies

Not wise enough to know they were bamboozled tho

Every offer is self-serving, the important thing is what is being offered in return. The Eldar are dying out fast and stuck in a long decline, is it really a good idea to refuse alliances and friendships, especially with a rapidly growing, energetic and open-minded faction?

@@stillwatersrundeep001 But have you forgotten the Eldar's greatest power. Farseer's making them act like obtuse idiots for some nebulous "prophecy".

They are communist people..

You will go extinct unless imperium takes mercy to keep tyranid necrons chaos marines out

They are learning

@@asyanimasi3d184 And? Literally. Communism if done right is a good thing. It certainly would provide better quality of life for the Individual than the sink or swim approach of capitalism.

Being a Craftworld Eldar isn't so bad either. They have pretty idyllic lives doing Elf stuff in their pretty crystal spires and forests most of the time. The only problem is that after you die you either get stuck in a pokéball or your soul gets eaten by Slaanesh.

The Imperium with guns that shoot black holes: allow me to present you

​​@@justinianthegreat1444 You mean that one gun on that one ship that is completely under control by the highly secretive Mechanicum that literally cannot be replaced in any respect? That gun? That one singular gun? That completely unique museum piece and holy relic of a gun that can't be replaced? Buddy, just because they have it doesn't mean they can make more of it or have more of it nor does it mean they'll bust it out every five seconds. They can't afford to let anyone know about it because it will either end in the gun being destroyed, end in being taken and turned on them, or end in it being taken and corrupted by Chaos. Just because they have it doesn't mean it's something they can pull out at any time. They only have one and it's too valuable to use. The average level of Imperial Tech is nowhere near the average level of Tau Tech.

@@starhammer5247 Sure, mate.

​@@johnkonig865 he does have a point

@@Hevno Not really, replace that gun with a titan legion and you will probably see what I mean. 'You mean those titans that are controlled by the Mechanicum? Those titans that are holy relics and can't be replaced,' and so on and so forth, you probably get what I mean, right?

Consider the Tau have so little presences in warp that demons basically pass on them + closed minded non superstitious, yeah Tau are way lower than human, maybe even some animals

Theyre deformed fishes for them.

Tau have no psykers and physically inferior to even baseline humans, while humans have psykers(even when most of human ones in 41st millennium got closest thing to be happy ending in 41st millennium, as cold fusion batteries for golden throne)

They dont really rank them low, they just regard them as promising but irrelevant. "lack derision and scorn for" is a better way to put it.

they're just like everyone else, dumbfucks who don't know anything fighting for dumbfuck reasons, the only difference being they're a few hundred thousand years late to the party

That Soul Pokeballs are like Floppy disks for their Matrioshka brains

To be fair, basic shuriken weapons used to have the same range as bolters; but then their range got cut down because one codex rider several editions ago decided they were now SMG equivalents and it stuck. It started to become a big issue once shoot at full range and move in the same turn became universal.

Tau > Eldar. Simply because they didn't make a fucking chaos god and still act like they are the smartest beings in the galaxy.

@@jomix7 If you can see the future I think you get to claim being the smartest in the galaxy lol

@@MrDarklord965they can see the future but still manage to get their asses handed to them by most of the other races in the galaxy

@@toasterten1293 Well, they did just defeat the C'tan and the Old Ones. And they also had to deal with the krorks too. I can't blame them for going into hiding

​​@@toasterten1293 And I remember the Necrons killing two races of gods, a feat other races have yet ro replicate.

@@toasterten1293 they were mostly waiting out the Enslavers as well as waiting for the galaxy to recover enough to be worth conquering

​@@agentc7020Hell, the Eldar instead of killing gods coomed the slut god into existence. Talk about failing miserably 😂

Like the Eldar don't even bother to reject the Tau, they are just ignored completely.

Yeah, they just destroyed their maiden world 🌎. Let it go 😂

Theres no one in galaxy that helped imperium as eldars. Only thing eldars ever respected outside eldars is God emperor.

To be fair, the Tau did destroy one of their few remaining holy sites. That and what we see aren't an empire of Eldar. The Craftworlds are effectively armed life boats to the old empire and the Eldar know it.

​@@roger4845 and why was it destroyed? Tau dont exactly go around and sestroy stuff like imperials or tyranids, there was a reason that happened

​@@Masonicon yup

​@@Hevnono one said whe can't adapt it.

​@@Masoniconwith enough time they will do it if it wasn't heresy.

The tau technological advancement has significantly slowed down and even regress in some areas, with no major advancement from them since first contact with the imperium, no they are not some herp derp faction that will keep advancing indefinitely, there is an air of too Little to late with them especially considering the the current Era is called "age of ending". So your "they can advances beyond the warp" a feet that not even the old one where capable of is just your head canon wankfest. They are going to die, like every other faction in this setting, with the only winners being necrons, tyranids or chaos.

Also would give us some fancy new battlesuits models

Hmmm nah then youll have the issue of choas like how all there stuff is just imperial but spikey. Anyway even humanity which was much more advanced never tried anything with wraith bone from what we know.

Aren't the tau like, really bad with psychic stuff? It said that the tau soul is a small dot of light compared to the burning flame of a human

Lol, the Tau didn't want to be friends, they just wanted the technology. That is typical Ethereal caste plotting, obfuscating their true intentions and manipulations with false offers and assurances of friendship. It is how the Ethereals expand and maintain their power and manipulate the other Tau in serving them. The Eldar of course saw right through that facade. The Tau have absolutely nothing they could offer the Eldar in an alliance.

And a lot of Tau racism, people like to ahit on both of them lol

How is it not obviously? The tau had never met the eldar before and any other faction they had met before had tremendous appearence dissimilarities even amongst the same faction (mechanicum, space marines and averge humans being the prime exanple) also kroots, who need i remind you that even the krootosaurus rex is just a kroot who ate a big fucking dinosaur? By their inexperienced point of view, these guys were essentially the same as those other ones

It's not said tbh, but I think it'll be because they were tricked by the archon

@@SandmanofTerra The Tau were desperate for help against the teranids and an alliance was formed when dark eldar came to "help" with their mutated humuncli armies. The tau were very impressed by the results and were asked for a cultural exchange, 77 Tau of each Caste and seven Ethereals to spend time with them. The tau found this immensely burdensome but did it for the greater good. Later on the fight against the Teranids was ramped up when the Dark Eldar revealed a new type of abomination which cut swaths through the taranid forces. Except vids taken revealed that said abominations had hints of blue...

If I remember right the Tau were attacked by the drukhari, and not knowing the differences between them and the craftworlds, assumed they were all together.

@@sturm9087 it's actually not said specifically, but many guess that would be the case. Unfortunately the conflict is only covered in a short extract
