At the end of a long and difficult road, the armies of the Farsight Enclaves stand poised to secure final victory over the Ork hordes. As Commander Farsight's audacious attack reaches a critical stage, an Ark of Omen and its attendant Balefleet erupt from the warp to shatter the balance of the conflict.
Thrown into a desperate fight for survival amidst a furious three-way war, the T'au are driven to take desperate measures. Their fighting retreat sees them forced to make planetfall on a world that O'Shovah vowed never to set foot upon again. With all other options exhausted, and foes closing in on all sides, the T'au begin a hit-and-run battle amongst the lifeless wastes and eerie ruins of Arthas Moloch itself.
Entangled by the galactic machinations of Vashtorr the Arkifane and his unholy servants, overrun by bellowing greenskin hordes and threatened by dark and insidious powers from beyond the veil, O’Shovah may face his final doom. Will aid reach him in time? Will the servants of the Dark Gods secure their diabolical prize? Or will this conflict reach an altogether darker and stranger end?
fun fact about Aun Va the named ethereal character: he's basically THE supreme leader of the tau empire since he leads the ethereals. he's also been dead for like 300 years at this point, assassinated near the end of the Damocles gulf crusade, but they replaced him with an ai and holographic replacement and just pretended nothing happened lmao
Basically the 40k equivalent of Weyoun. In fact, I demand a running gag where other factions kill Aun’va only for him to be cloned with AI a few chapters later.😂
What!?!? Dat blue boy ain’t ded?!?
And it’s an ai. A machine?!? Doh😫
@@twenty-fifth420 oh my greater good you killed aun'va.
@@twenty-fifth420 the best part is that's basically what happened! an imperial assassin sniped him dead, but then the inquisition is scratching their head going "hey wait a second, why is this guy on the tau news? didn't we kill him last week?"
"The foolish Tau have an unprotected AI network... Alpha Legion! Patch me in so I can start a robot rebellion, forcing them to reset their civilization to use lobotomized slaves instead of computers!" "My lord, have you done this before?" "Nooo-ooo..."

Lorgar: "Dad, something strange is happening, we've been finding these things called demons on some planets..."
Big E: "Shut up! Demons aren't real"
Farsight: "Hey my Lords, something strange is happening..."
ohh thats about a bitch aint it?
Telling people would change the entirety of 40k
At least farsight is justifiable. Lorgar just sucks
Don't you fckin dare compare anyone to Lorgar
@@sirkelendor5429 Farsight is the equivalent of a soldier who has seen the horrors of our worst wars dialed to every waking second of your life and begging your leaders to send any aid or help whatsoever. Imagine being deep in enemy lines that you didn’t know existed and your last radio convo is ‘send help demons here’ and getting back ‘lul no’. Yeah, pretty justified ngl.
Lorgar is the equivalent of a priest who tries who tries to make intuitively biased conclusions after the encounter and telling your one leader who doesn’t believe YOU in particular because you want him to be a god.
Not to mention, this is the Tau first encounter with entities from the Warp and those aligned with it.
This actually isn’t the first time Farsight has had Khornate visions. In “Empire of Lies” he had visions of death, skulls, murder, himself as a champion of Khorne, etc etc.
This is definitely the closest he had gotten to actually falling to Khorne though.
Having just finished Empire of Lies, this AoO sideshow for Farsight is kinda the back third of it but only a couple changes.
@@DetectiveLance this is taking place well after EoL (probably decades). It's an escalation of what already happened with him during EoL, also there is no mention of Vykola Herat whom could be dead or in seclusion, still recovering from her possession by the Tzeenchian truth demon.
Oh okay I was confused because the visions thing was pre Vashtor so I'm like did they retcon the original version
@@jeambeam3173 no retcon here for sure. Personally I'm hoping this breaks the FSE away from the T'au Empire-proper; would be cool to see a rebellion arc as the story progresses. As some others have been saying, have the Enclaves be to the T'au Empire, what the Squats are to the IoM.
@@RiftShredemptionworked amazingly for the emperor
Daemon Prince: “Chaos be damned, okay Night Lords are you doing any better?”
Night Lord captain: “…..yes?” And it just pans down to him and his squad flaying Tau in amusement or turning them inside out.
"Befor we drop on this planet to fullfill the designes of Chaos, are we all clear on the plan?"
"...ahm... sure!"
@@derkrischa3720 To be fair, it really sounds like each Warband did EXACTLY what they planned, so...
I like to imagine the daemon prince pulls out a cellphone and just "hey its me, the plan went bust, you guys good over there?" Then over the phone he hears distant screaming "were doin..... ok over here"
The daemon "those sick fucks"
I just imagine the scene from Blue Harvest you get one of the more likable night Lords like Peter Griffin as Han Solo responding "......yes? Um, how-- how are you?" And it's a Slaanesh daemon Prince so he goes "uh not so good my daemonettes GF and I are----"
"next week we'll do the Lion!"
*proceeds to make a tier list of lion facts for half an hour*
While also making a similar list for the Dark Angels
I fucking hope so
Forgot to mention the fact that the unatural rage farsight was feeling, also happened to the soldiers. So much to the point that tau lines started charging orks into melee.
Also find it funny and interesting that Farsight was unknowingly summoning deamons onto chaos worshippers, which the Tau don't know are linked. Which would have worked bad if they started working together.
Also saying farsight is a noble upstanding warrior, by 40k standards would be correct. However amoungst the Tau, farsight is one of the most aggressive, disobedient and unorthodox of their kind.
The event at Arthas Moloch was the first encounter with Chaos Daemons by the Tau. During the battle all the ethereals accompanying Farsight's forces were killed, Tau were in fact getting corrupted (We see guys falling to Khorne or getting turned to crystal by Tzeentch daemons)
After the battle, which Farsight ended by taking the Dawnblade and shoving it into the portal the Daemons were coming through, Farsight was told by the Ethereals who showed up, essentially, 'Those were just hostile aliens, daemons don't exist, you are mistaken' which led to Farsight breaking off and going renegade in the Enclaves across the Damocles Gulf
Everyone always leaves out the Inquisition agent that was having Tzeentch demon riding shotgun in her head advising Farsight.
@@DetectiveLance True! She's surprisingly important to the two Farsight books
That being said, during that book it clearly didn't sound like the ethereals didn't know what this was about. It was kinda heavily implied that they wanted psychic powers of their own. The Tau have psychic allies, so I would be surprised if they didn't at least hear about some of it.
@@svenbrede6151 The upcoming (freshly released?) Shadowsun book as one of these, a nicassar, in it actually! It gives me hope we might see a model for them soon for tabletop.
That's kinda the best method they have to handle the existence of Daemons. The Ethereals have kept up this narrative that Daemons are just hostile aliens to avoid mass hysteria amongst the citizens.
Aesthetics aside, Farsight Enclave turning to chaos as a small parallel to the Horus Heresy would be THE MOST BORING THING that GW could do.
Completely agree. Having the shadow of khorn looming over him makes sense since he has a much higher affinity for melee than pretty much any other Tau, the number 8, the sword etc but what makes it interesting is it adds conflict and nuance to his character. If he falls to chaos you lose that. Much as I like the khorne aesthetic and the surface level idea of chaos tau, falling to khorne inherently means you become a non-character by the rules of the lore itself. It's far more interesting to have him continually struggle and deny khorne and his own bloodlust, which he can do through a mix of his own resolve, the tau's inherent warp resistance and maybe some lingering belief in the greater good. Throwing him to chaos would be like if Guts became an apostle rather than fighting back against his urges. There's enough grimdark in the setting already without the miniscule pocket of actual good in the galaxy turning into murderous blood apes
especially since he's already Tau Horus. except he's the good one.
i would like it that he would go chaos, but then somehow sees what happend with Horus and theeeeeeen decide to do something else
Next week we pass entirely to Warhammer fantasy and cover all its lore over the course of 4 years. Only then we go back to 40k and cover the lion
God that would b funny
As someone who likes Fantasy more than 40k I would be ok with this
For the Tau the guy who's whole stick is dying dies, the robot that always comes back gets destroyed and comes back, the commander who always gets his butt kicked gets his butt kicked, and farsight is constantly tested. At least we got a planet maybe?
To me this book was very disappointing. But that might be becasue the tarot cards hyped it up so much and the tree of life being just a symbolism for "arthas moloch has flowers now" feels like a punch in the gut.
Though i am ok with it IF they continue on this and actually give the enclaves more lore with moloch and maybe expand on the context of the dawnblade
I mean... it's not too bad considering this was a Farsight model refresh sidequest in a big Chaos Campaign.
I hope Tau fans get more stuff to do in 10th, but it feels like you got a pretty good treatment.
Imagine being World Eaters fans, and coming down from your huge hype about the last Ark book to the knowledge the Lion is going to fight Angron for his debut.
@@ahoyturtle Its more just the fact that the tau are literally not allowed to ever do anything impactful. And when the tarot cards hyped it up and the entire book was about him a lot of Tau fans finally saw a light on the horizon just for it to be snuffed out. The model is great dont get me wrong, but every other book had a huge impact on the overall setting and introduced something new and exciting. Meanwhile if anyone sums up the arks of omen campain there is literally no reason to even talk about this book because basically nothing happens other then a planet next to the enclaves has flowers again.
Again if this is just the beginning of a larger storyline starting with arthas moloch i dont mind, but right now it feels like a punch in the gut becasue GW basically confirmed that they will not let tau ever have any impact on the setting.
Honestly, when the Chaos forces arrive, it goes from happy shonen to Berzerk for the 8
So does that make the Portal a Behelit??
As someone who just got to the sea God part of the manga, hearing about berserk in a 50K video is a delight
@@SWProductions100 they quite literally have him have a flashback to his mentor telling him how to be a good person to bring him back from Chaos. That is PEAK anime shenanigans
Aun'Va did nothing wrong
I'll admit I haven't read Berserk but isn't that how the Golden Age arc goes?
Everything's great for Guts for the first time in his life and then the eclipse happens? (yeah that's oversimplifying a bit but it's a thing)
Imagine now the fear of the ethereal hearing Farsight lived
I wouldnt be surprised if thats when he either falls to chaos or gets the closest as maybe the war against the tau empire is what turns him to khorne
@@CRMSN_RDR that would be disappointing farsight has been established as good guy but i think one of the 8 or maybe a few will fall
I just want Farsight to send a drone back with the message "I lived, bitch"
@@TheInvaderDax i like to think the ethereals are just like "whats this markerlight doing here?"
The markerlight pops up a text messgae over its head that says: "@daddyfarsightbigsword69 i lived, ukos"
@@CRMSN_RDR problem with that is that farsight actually still very much believes in the greater good, he just thinks the ethereals are mistaken in how to accomplish it.

It would be a great advancement to the Tau for them to finally be noticed by Chaos.
“Fall down 7 times, stand up 8” notice any significance of the number 8? And the colour red?
Hmmm actually I wonder, if the Tau have this strange influence power that's can influence the minds of others to be more relaxed and conform to their society can that outright influence the affects chaos has on people? Like if the warp is a part of everything, even the Tyranids have like a void like essence in their, doesn't that mean Tau could maybe calm the warp? I'm curious about it
@@bruhed1117 And their heroes are the 8! Oh Emperor!
I'd like to see chaos start to infect the tau in some way, it would definitely have a positive impact on the lore for sure
@Mugly Punt I sometimes wonder if the original intentions for the Tau to be the actual good guys could have originally plan to have them immune to the warp. They prob haven't done any warp corruption yet to settle if they want them immune or not
I quite like the idea that Tau is a race that can resist the warp. Without having to become some ultra religious force. I like the idea that warp resistance doesn't have to resolve around humanity.
Isn't it exactly the opposite? With everyone else able to resist the warp or at least chaos better than humanity. I mean tau, orks, nids an votan are all prime examples.
Good news, DK! Aun'va met an awful end at the hands of an Culexus Assassin (the super-blanks that make people around them go nuts). Naturally, he tried to run away while the assassin killed everyone else in the room. It did not work. Quoth the wiki: "Aun'va's end was neither swift nor merciful."
Yep. He's been dead for a long time. What showed up here was actually an AI the other Ethereal collectively control to keep up appearances that he's still alive
If Farsight did fall to chaos i would actually riot. I dont mind him struggling with chaos influence but actually falling is notorious for destroying any semblance of interesting personality. So they might as well just kill him off rather than letting him fall.
I agree with you, but I would be fine with something to the effect of Khorne says "You know what Farsight. You are that badass, I've put you through hell and you still won't give in. I'm not going to twist you like I twist my followers, take some free stuff.
You can actually represent the incredibly buried and ignored part of my aspects. You know honesty, justice, honor and fair play. Screw it, you win. Go forth and do your own thing, I don't really care how the blood flows after all.
@@markgresch9944 Sadly that would go quite hard against the way the chaos gods are represented in lore. But i do like it.
In general i would love if GW actually did something with their "positive side" . Perhaps Farsight and someone ellse engaging in truly honorable combat could spawn a new daemon? One that represents khornes positive side? He would probably get treated like shit by khorne but it could be super interesting
Yeah it's so boring that people want Farsight Enclave to just be another Horus Heresy.
Haven't we had enough of that?
@@raptorxrise5386 I'd go something along the lines of, in lore there is a champion (unwitting or otherwise) for each chaos god's noble aspects, that they simply have to have as part of their own nature. It's literally just one character each because that is how far gone Chaos and the warp is, or maybe a small sect at most.
That they are able to draw power from them, which is why they keep wanting to twist them, but it never takes, and that these individuals are keys to hurting them or expanding/shifting their nature and bringing calm or changes to the warp.
Throw in some Eldar prophecy about them, no one trusting them because Chaos bad, Chaos seeing them as a perversion, misguided or a curiosity to mess with their own gods themselves and bingo, you have a set of plot device characters and a set of units with unique mechanics.
@@markgresch9944 A bit long-winded, but I like your idea.
Thing about Tau suffering horrific casualties... is that they recover quickly. Tau age about 50% faster than humans, so at the age of 12 they're fully adult and ready to serve, and their actually functional economy can recoup material loses even faster.
Which is actually quite realistic by 40k standards. It took us less than a decade to recover from WWI or WWII, while in 40k Salamanders, Raven Guard and Iron Hands still feel the looses of Drop Site Massacre 10 000 years after it happened.
It's not just that, just consider the sheer amount of waste the Imperium suffers from. That is likely what drives Mr. Logistics Gulliman nuts.
How much is lost due to corrupt planetary governors, the Mechanicus not engaging in good research and development and adding absurdly needless rituals to get things to work, human capital lost due to religious fanaticism and unsafe working conditions, hive cities being rampant with gangs and having no effective means to catch Genestealer or Chaos cults early, many Space Marine chapters leaving entire worlds unutilized just to recruit candidates of which only a small percentage will produce Marines and being completely hamstrung with engaging in any kind of diplomacy with the Eldar, Tau or Votan to actually coordinate against common foes, or at least cool them off so bigger problems can be dealt with.
@@baronvonslambert point is it wasn't WWI but other things that hampered economic recovery in Europe. Colonial crisis in UK and France, political unrest and crushing weight of reparations in Germany, revolutions and civil wars in Russia, etc.
I also suspect heavy implementation of robotics help in this recovery. People don't understand modern day how much of a game changer AI is going to be in military.
@@baronvonslambertactually, I would argue that it's the education of women that is the primary mover in fertility drop. Even in countries like India and Bangladesh the population growth has dropped dramatically. So has Iran. Because of women's education.
@@thatindiandude4602 As bad as this argument might sound, it is certainly one of the reasons. Not being forced into the role of housekeeper and mother exclusively ofc would lead to a decrease of women taking that path. How big of an influence it really has in the long run is something i cant comment on tho, never looked into it. And it definitely isnt the sole reason for declining birthrates either.
I actually just finished reading the two farsight books. arthas molock is where farsight first encounters a demon incursion, but there's implications that the ethereals have seen them as an old nemesis of the tau empire.
I did not know Farsight’s new suit was a canonically different suit, I guess he’s really moved up from his Zaku phase to his Gelgoog phase
I genuinely hope Farsight doesn't fall to chaos, it's much more interesting to have fraction in factions without its involvement.
Exactly, honestly I would love a large scale imperial rebellion faction, like actually fairly big in size that rebels without being reconquered int he same story, becomes a option to play as and is not chaos.
@@BioroidPilot i mean those khrone worshipping imperial guardsmen exist they haven’t been conquered
@@SWProductions100 would be interesting from a rebuilding standpoint as well. Instead of having to wory about each and every faction of the empire, let it break into smaller pieces that can manage themselves, while rebuilding the core.
@@BioroidPilot I was thinking that if Dorn came back, he'd rebel against the current state of the imperium. He'd hate it much like how Gulliman hates it, but he never had that diplomatic touch like Gulliman did.
That's honestly the main reason I roll my eyes every time I hear about Chaos doing anything in 40k, because it feels like nothing in 40k is allowed to not be Chaos related and it just gets exhausting that is Chaos and daemons and corruption, like can we not just have other people doing their own thing for their own reason without EVERYTHING being Chaos corruption
It should be noted that the Tau do in fact have FTL travel, though it's slower than true warp travel because they skip across the shortest dip into the warp rather than diving through it. During the more recent spheres of expansion they have used reverse engineered human Warp Drives with questionable effectiveness.
From how I understand it, Tau FTl used to skip over the warp like a thrown stone over a lake for short jumps. However at some point I think someone discovered that if you slowed the initial dive, you could stay on top of the warp for longer. Now Tau ships are more like speed boats while the Imperium's are like submarines. A side affect of this though is even though they can use there FTL''s for longer distances, their ships still affect and interact with with real space, so their pilots still have to pilot and maneuver even while their FTL is on.
The Orcs chasing chaos off is so dope.
Agreed
Farsight really handled Khone well. Good job Man
The Orks really did it, they summoned the Warhammer 40,000
The very notion of a tau falling to chaos is so strange to me.
They are so psychically numb that they can't even enter the warp.
It does happen, but it's rare. I mean there was a tzeentch corrupted water caste member by a disgraced tzeentch demon in "Empire of Lies" who was a important side character. Though it only happened because he touched a damaged warped engine.
I think the idea is that tau souls are dim hence harder to detect by warp beings, but if found and focused on it then warp shenanigans occur.
However as a demon, why would you want to try to and devote alot of energy finding a tau soul, corrupting it, infiltrate a highly "organized and scrutinized" society, and try to carry out major plans in like 30-40 years without getting caught.
The only demons having a chance would probably tzeentch since they actually can lie better than most and khorne for firecaste warriors when they have to deal with the madness when cut off from command
@@Mr._Idiot440 it's not just that the souls are dim, they don't possess a psyker gene. They can't interact with the warp in any way, it's why they can't use it for ftl travel and why farsight can use a demonically possessed sword for centuries and not even be aware of it.
It's like saying there could be a chaos corrupted necron.
@@95keat there is nothing stating that the dawn blade is daemonically possessed.
@@555tork ya your right, I was misunderstanding how the life stealing affect worked.
"Oh my god! They killed Brightsword"
"You bastards!"
Fun thing about Farsight's name: Despite looking like gibberish at first, every word has a meaning.
Shas'O: Commander (O) of the Fire Caste (Shas).
Vior'La: His Sept of origin. Literally means "hot-blooded", as the Tau from Vior'La are famously passionate.
Shovah: "Farsighted". Earned after the Battle of Arkunasha against the Orks.
Kais: "Skilled". Kais is a very common name for famous Tau.
Mont'yr: "Blooded". Indicates Farsight is a veteran of many battles.
The common shortening O'Shovah just means "Commander Farsight".
I’m not particularly a deathwatch fan, but their L was so intense that it can be considered a Greater Imperial L. And I’m quite the Imperial Loyalist. I was seething when I first read the lore of this book (didn’t actually read the book) when the half deathwatch crew just got annihilated easy mode. I am now on a Guilliman esque throne pumping copium directly into my central nervous system. Emperor protects.
Wasn't the Deathwatch in this one also infiltrated by Alpha Legion spies?
@@SeanCrosser the Alpha legion folks are the ones that ratiod the death watch squad or whatever
@@SeanCrosser Well it is really easy to infiltrate the DeathWatch. The DeathWatch are kinda like 40k's version of GOT's Night Watch where a Space Marine can go and not talk about their past. Could have been for a traitor chapter and just stayed loyalist. The DeathWatch won't ask questions and doesn't care as long as you fight the Xenos threat with every fiber of your being. I'm sure this isn't the first infiltration and probity won't be the last.
I really hope the farsight enclaves don't fall to chaos.
It would make for some excellent grimdark tragedy but we have enough of that
I'm glad the Alpha Legion has been getting some love lately.
Nice lil Farsight narrative there!
Though if I'm not mistaken, the high Ethereal Aun'Va is actually dead, killed by the officio assasinorum and his death covered up via an AI
Yes you are right
"Next Week we'll do the lion!" Said Bricky...
Someone write this down for the record,
_"Because all records are lies"_
Its kinda funny that you say that three of the Eight are heavily damaged, but one is just AI, the other was an 8th clone of the original warrior, and the last one (the one in heavy cryostasis) was essentially T´au dreadnought. So, the losses, while severe, arent exactly irreplacable
IIRC Aun'va is actually an AI copy since the actual guy was turned into a scorched wall stain by the Culexus assassin that managed to get into his secret bunker back in the 2nd Damocles war.
Is that still true or did that change?
Still true, but also kinda weird that no one's started to question it since tau have short lifespans
@@SeventhSeraphOfficerRevolver the ethereals have a longer lifespan than regular Tau
@@SeventhSeraphOfficerRevolver they probably give -1000 billion social credits for stupid questions like that
@@SeventhSeraphOfficerRevolver It's also a very easy fix, all they have to do is just change the appearance of the hologram every 80 or so years
Which makes me wonder, did the AI say that, or did it say "Of course." because removing Farsight is absolutely worth it, and then the Ethereal fleshbags overrode it's decision over stupid emotional reasons?
17:21 the deathwatch space marines are probably watching the orks and tau kill each other while drinking the fenrisian ale the space wolf brought
Small correction, the Tau can use the warp but not as effectively because they don’t have psychic navigators.

... and he did not serve, he rules!
*Does a line of Warpstone* We also need to prove the superiority of the Great Horned Rat's chosen people, The Skaven, to those inferior Man-Things
Huh?
So proud of you guys covering Farsight first, you've got your priorities straight
I stick to my previous statement.... The Lion model is Tywin Lannister
The name of the Tau are really complex because yeah, it details all of what they are, like Shas'O means commander of the Fire Caste", Vior'la is his planet of origin, etc...
Farsight is a translation of Shovah, he was nicknamed that for having a clear tactical vision against Orks in one battle ^^
'I cant imagine the names on Custodians cause every win is a new one...'
Yeah, why do you think they never left Terra for like 10k years, they had to wait for the names to become manageable again 😂
Well I was hoping this book would end with Farsight kinda figuring out the whole arks of omen plot line then in the Lion book we get a farsight fleet arriving at the Rock to support the imperium since chaos is clearly the bigger threat here. Like a great "Look I don't like you and you don't like me, but we got a bigger problem" moment. Not necessarily to save the day, that's the lion's job, but to provide the imperium that extra support it needs in the battle
But now it kinda looks like the battle is gonna be a messy melee with the orks showing up cause they followed the Ark from this battle.
Oh hell yeah that would be dope. Lion swordfighting with Farsight, then once they have recognized each other as worthy foes, Lion can give Farsight the quick beats about Chaos and its bullshit.
Nah it would cheapen the enclaves as a faction by just making them the imperial allies
@Ronan of the boreal valley more like a temporary alliance. Like all 40k alliances it wouldn't last it would just be what's needed for the moment.
It would also give farsight an actual reason to be involved in this storyline. I like it but if you removed the whole ark of omen plot line it would have no effect on farsights story. And farsight really has nothing to do with the arks story.
If skaven arent a part of the fantasy video i will throw a hissy fit
send a few doom-bombs to AdRic cast*
Idk what annoyed me more about the Farsight book, GW continuing to tease and dangle someone as cool as Farsight into turning to chaos (which would be so lame) or the fact that this book was a sideshow, Practically a break to the main story that could be removed and nothing changes in the AoO series.
Yeah it was just weird, Farsight isn't made out to be nearly as cool as any of the other characters who got a book and the bit with the empire is refusing to help is really dumb. As far as they know this is a massive chaos warband bearing down on the empire, and they have a chance to hit it before it reaches empire worlds
@@SeventhSeraphOfficerRevolver For me what is cool is that he just give a middle finger to Khone and says Hell no. And this is so cool. Imagine Khone corrupting him and he is like yeah no fuck you.
@@immortalwarrior2695 Farsight and Sanginious shaking hands and dabbing on khorne.
from what I know it is pretty on brand of GW to ignore the T'au or give them lesser content. that said, from Bricky's telling, it sounded like a very cool book
The Ravenwing Dark Talon with the crystals growing out of it is probably one of the ones that is sent back in time through the rift that the Tuchulcha Engine creates in the novel 'The Unforgiven', which would mean those crystals growing on it would be shards of the Ourobouros, the chaotic artifact that was hidden on Caliban that made it spawn the Great Beasts in the first place, which is hunted down by Cypher in said novel. This ties in with the ultimate endgame of the Arks of Omen books, being the Lion's return, and the general ties of this storyline to the Dark Angels as a whole.
TLDR I just think it's neat.
Interesting that the other Tau who nearly fell to chaos, Kais, was also influenced by Khorne.
Fire caste, bred for war after all.
I feel like if Tau was going to fall to any of then only Khrone makes sense Maybe a few Ethereal or Water Cast could fall for Tzeentch
I wasn't expecting to hear about Vashtorr's demonic message compression this episode.
I hope this book leads us to getting (at least) one of these named Bad Moon characters. They could use a good shooty HQ, would be cool to get a Smog Boss HQ rig that has shootings re-roll auras.
That ethereal who told Farsight "screw off" is actually dead as the Raven Wing assassinated him
culexus assassin killed him not ravenwing
This one is an AI copy
I mean by now he would be anyway, Farsight is like 300 it's probably been like 250 years by now
Hydra Dominatus!
HYDRA DOMINATUS!!
Hydra Dominatus!
Hydra Dominatus!
Hydra dominatus!
arks of omen should be called "The Lion, The Witch, and Battlesuit"
Reminds me of the meme, "The Lion, The Witch and The Audacity Of This Bitch".
The lion, the Berserker, and the Battlesuit
As a Tau fan, loved this Ark of Omen and Adeptus Ridiculous.
DK, you’ll be happy to learn that Aun’Va is dead in lore and he’s been replaced by a hologram for like 200 years. And he was killed by a Culexus Assassin. You know, those guys whose mere presence makes you feel mortal agony? Yeah, that’s how he died.
I feel like the arks of omen series would have been improved massively if they switched farsight out with angron in the release order. Now hear me out:
Book 1: nailed it, pitch perfect setup for vashtorrs bizarre adventure with Abby sending his mooks out on a gallaxy wide scavenger hunt.
Book 2: slot in farsight to carry on with the black legion treasure hunting in the enclaves and tweak the dark angels flier to foreshadow vashtorr dunking on the rock in the next book.
Book 3: vashtorr uses the goo the alpha legion collected to either find the rock, or complete his doomsday weapon to blow in the door. Our boy gets Shafted by belakor and has his "I'll get them next time" speech without then immediately smash cutting to him getting them next time.
That way, we can have Angron ride into his confrontation with the lion on the hypeTsunami generated by securing a massive W in his own book and have the Lion step in to kick chaos in the balls when they're at their apex.
The idea of a supermad doomguy Farsight is kinda cool and I definitely do like it to a degree but I think the problem is it goes against the appeal of Farsight. He provides such a unique little niche for the faction it'd suck to lose that.
I do like the less BLOOD MURDER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH interpretation of a khorne champion, someone who's much more disciplined and has that anger manifested as a resentment and disgust instead of pure explosive bloodlust.
While it'd be neat to have a khorne farsight, i feel like there should be more moments of the honorable part of khorne, like since hes also chivalry and honor i would kinda like a semi khorne infused farsight that just turns into the doom slayer for a moment before returning normal
"Just another reason to bombard the Blue"
Nice Sarge impersonation.
Ngl, not a big fan of this one. Aside from the fact that nothing much happened a good chunk of the story was pretty much a rehash of another Phill Kelly book "Empire of Lies". Like the similiarities are just too many
-Farsight returns to the planet he found his sword
-Khorn keeps sending him spam emails about how cool it would be if he joined his religion and killed his friends.
-Farsight rejects those visions with the power of friendship by remembering two friends that he hasnt seen in centuries.
-Kenny, I mean Brightsword dies...again .
-The main T'au Empire doesnt do jack.
-Aun'va is still an ass even beyond the grave.
-Life in the Farsight Enclaves are still not elaborated on.
-Farsight continues to remain in his little corner of the galaxy and doesnt interact with the wider galaxy.
Idk I found the Shadowsun book to be much better (atleast compared to other Phill Kelly stories).
I was hoping that Boss Snikrot would have made an appearance in the book, maybe kill that demon prince or something
Oh my god. the Be'gel hunter's plate is the Ork Hunters Plate!
And here's where I'd listen and paint my new farsight model. IF I COULD FUCKING GET ONE
toddy the custodes. he jumped ship from fantasy.
also the tau totally have ftl, otherwise they'd be confined to a few dozen planets not the few percentage point of the galaxy they have. its slower than proper warp travel since because they dont have navigators or all the right tech they just kinda skim off the warp instead of a full transition.
Man Pete the Wargamer’s Khorne Farsight Conversion is gonna be awesome!!!
With the dialogue with the orks near the end you gotta love that even canonically in-universe people are going "God i hate fighting the Tau"
The thing about Chaos forces is on paper they sound incredibly potent, but in actuality it's like herding a bunch of parsers all hunting for different individual achievements
Love your event episodes. Bricky is a good storyteller for these things. If you guys wanted more, you could always go back and cover things like Psychic Awakening.
40:08 "Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is" xD
Farsight's second message back to Tau Empire.
"I Lived Bitch"
Bricky ork voice is what an ork who is out of battle and is in a meeting to figure out where to fight next.
DK ork voice is a Nob who is about to get stuck in the thick of it.
If 40k dries up I'm super down for a Mass Effect mini series.
Massive W for the Tau: they didnt get completely eradicated and maybe they can one day make the planet, they lost, inhabitable again!
Yeah, that sounds about right
The one detail that irks me the most is the answer from Aun'va. Aun'va is dead. Farsight knows it. The ethereal Council knows Farsight knows. Yet they answer to him using Aun'va AI and Farsight (explicitly at least) react to this. Not only did he get denied by the Ethereals, they didn't even reject him themselves.
Anyway, the story was meh. Glad they didn't do a Lion/Farsight team up (they still implied some of the artefacts of arthas moloch could be from the Dark Angels). I hope they get rid of aun va next edition, so we can get some interesting new Ethereal sculpts
With the newest addition to tacticus i hope they bring out a new model for the best ethereal: Aun'swole.
@@raptorxrise5386 would be an instant buy, I only have 3 of the plastic ethereal, I would turk them into basing material in a heart beat once Aun'shi is painted
Damn, they did my boy Nazdreg dirty...he's an OG ork warlord from the distant past editions
I'm so excited for DK's Warhammer Fantasy episode. I fell down the warhammer rabbit hole because of fantasy. I hope Bricky will appreciate the lore
All Hail the Farsite Enclave!!!!
Mont'ka is "Killing Blow" not short blade. It's just meant to say a precision blow of overwhelming force.
0:26 gotta love Jimmy Space and that Whacky Imperialism ✋️
Damn no way, the 7th week in a row that's a book review, can't wait for week 8
Finally, a stream I can watch without having something to do
ROCKS AND STONES
Brightsword, as has been stated, is a clone, so he's the one they can kill all they need.
Oblotai is literally rebuilt by the end of the story
Bravestorm is already a dreadnaught, so he just got wounded. Ah well.
The worst part of all of this is that THE MODEL IMAGES IN THE CENTER OF THE BOOK REVEAL THE EIGHT HAVE BEEN GIVEN NEW LOADOUTS.
Which means everybody who had already built The Eight, (Me included) are probably gonna have to rebuild them when they get new datasheets.
(For those wondering, Oblotai now has a Rail Rifle, instead of his missile hands, and Shavastos now has a burst cannon. Other than that, the others SEEM to be unchanged, since those two were the ones specified as having certain weapons in the book. Definitely stinks of "datasheets coming, we shuffled around some weapons, just so you know"
IF they get new datasheets. They never got them in 9th and i doubt they will get them anytime soon if at all in 10th
The thing is that the eight in lore change out there weapons when needed, the only exception is farsight, with his blade, and the one named after using all fire weapons, and even then I would expect she occasionally takes something else
@@calebbarnhouse496 i mean from a certain point of view, al the weapons available to crisis suits bar the missle pods use fire of a certain variety.
@@carlzerris6566 fire is a kind of plasma, but that does not mean every plasma is a kind of fire
@@carlzerris6566 I mean, I don’t see the point of giving them different weapons in the book’s little images if you’re NOT gonna give them new data sheets with said weapons
On the topic of major Tau commanders becoming corrupted or indefensibly evil. I putting my hat in the ring for Commander Kais whose Farsight's and Shadowsun's old best friend who before being separated was suuuuper excited to go on Sphere of Expansion (Tau crusade basically) and only cares about being super deadly in combat. Apparently he makes an appearance in secret wars so thats fun. But what i can gather is that he's basically a tau supremacist and is extremely xenophobic to humans. Which i find funny if true.
Lionel Johnson has to be the least work GW has ever put in to make a mundane name 40K worthy.
When you guys do a corvus corax/raven guard video, I will personally watch it 100 times! I love your podcast and I'd love to hear your thoughts on my favorite primarch!
To explain the ork train of thought about why the Big Mek did not like a surprise attack and why did they wanted to close the Khornate portal:
Big Meks, or Mekboyz in general, like a good scrap much like any other ork, but they like it *more* when they’re left to their own devices, so imagine if you had this BIIIIIG project you are so proud of get interrupted unexpectedly. You’d be peeved too.
With the portal bit, I can see it as “that thing is pissing me off, spawning daemons ALL THE TIME gets annoying, close it”
For as much as orks love fightin’, they also got other things to do (like winnin’); they’re not 100% “fightfightfight”, they’re 80% “fightfightfight” and the remaining 20% depends on the type of ork (“get more bling, upgrade my gun” for Flash Gitz, “fix shit, improve shit and make shit” for Meks, “steal and salvage” for Lootas, etc)
A new episode on my birthday?! Heck yeah
I can already hear Commissar Old Man Reacts yelling through the vox speaker to start loading the virus bombs
Daaamn, Farsight started sounding like Angron when he got frenzied.
After all, the same joke in the tts was the unending amount of titles that kitten had.
That Tod joke… I could only picture a Custodian look alike of Tod from scrubs. And that image tickles me so much
You guys are getting all excited about these giga try-hards, but I can't wait for Arks of Omen: Ciaphas Cain
