Honestly, that would be brilliant. The audience would be able to have someone to latch onto (and seeing as how the Tau are the most "moral", it would be a much more relatable figure than your average imperium guard or space marine), and would include actual intense stakes, seeing as how they're just a normal dude, but not serving in an army where they're used as meat shields.

The psykers that are being born with increasing regularity or just "activating" halfway through adulthood will draw the attentions of the daemons in the warp.

As a citizen of the imperium that wasn't lucky to be born to a noble family in a top hive level, you have only a few options to achieve a relatively peaceful and normal life. A) Leave the imperium and join the tau. B) join a rogue trader crew which has a good captain. C) become a space marine (if you survive the process til you become a full fledged battle brother. D) try to get a job on a Garden World / Paradise World.
C is near impossible already, you'd have to be some of the baddest to survive that shit, the surgeries without anesthetics, unless blood angel then you sleep, the chance your body refuses the gene seed and your organs start failing, the countless decades of brainwashing, yeah that shit tough if you managed through it since childhood grats you'a bonafide certified killing machine, you would be utterly irecognizable to anyone else and even your past self
E. Be born on a Civilized World that isn't being turned into a Hive World. It's self sustaining, not horrifically overpopulated or polluted, and generally decent to live in. The Imperium likes to turn them into Hive Worlds to boost industrial output.

"Traitors are labeled by those who meet the end of my bolter. And my bolter never shot whats behind me. . . Only those who stand in the Imperium's way."
Imagine the first Guevesa going like: "Guys, you've got it all wrong, that's not at all what the Imperium is like. We're far, far worse than what you think." "What do you mean?" "Ever heard of Cherubs?"
"And you say that this is a... common punishment?" "Yeah, servitors are pretty important but they get chewed through quick." "I see... and what, pray tell, did this man do?"

God I hope we get guevesa models some day, with their own rules and maybe specialized weapons. Also while it's extremely rare, we do know at least one case of a guevesa piloting a battlesuit. And this makes me think of a story where a guevesa starts off as an auxiliary for the fire caste, discovers that he's a talented battlesuit pilot and then against all odds slowly ends up becoming more and more renowned as a warrior amongst the tau. Now that right there is a plot for a gundam like 40k show.

@@Jimpiedepimpie ah yes, being sterile is muuuuch worse than eating corpse starch and dying in like a week being a guardsman lol. I'd say cut that dick off if I had a choice between imperium and tau.
I wished their were more non-Imperium/non-Chaos aligned human groups in 40K. Also, a book written from the perspective of a Gue'Vesa would be pretty cool.
Votann, GSC (though they are Tyranid aligned which is just assissted self-genocide) and there is a roman-esque Human Empire in Nihilus which had the help of Dark Eldar and kicked the Imperium out of their sector, though I don't remember their name. It was part of a 40k RPG, it's still opressive as fuck but it's less bad than the Imperium.
Probably depends on the book. I just finished listening to the Farsight books on audible and, aside from the parts narrated by the enemy perspective, there was only one non-tau character
The most i remember is the Caiphes Cain novels show alot of human T'au helpers mentioned even ones who had surgically modified thim selves to be able to speak the T'ue language.
Dont remember what book, but I believe it was mention that human and the other species live in different communities separated from each other even if they occupied the same planet. They only really interact with one another if they are call to service by the tau empire.
I think a Tau Guevesa is probably one of the best life choices for a human to take in the warhammer 40k universe. At least you'd live a far better life than in the imperium.
I always liked the Tau the best just on looks and their armor and mechs, hearing how benevolent and good of a life one can lead by joining them as a human makes me like them even more .
I wonder how Tau deals with human tendency to being corrupted by chaos since Tau know little about immaterium and cannot posess any psyker powers which also gives them natural resistance against corruption.
They probably do have some sort of secret police, something akin to Inquisition, but run by other Guevesa and much more local on planet to planet basis. They could have like a Psyker Human who is an absolute fanatic to the Greater Good, who could be the leader, directly responding to Ethereals. Using his psyker powers to sniff out other, wild and dangerous psykers and other lackeys of Chaos. Furthermore, the Tau could simply make stuff against Chaos, given technology can interact with Warp (gellar fields, warp drives and many others), they could probably make like Warp sensors they could mount on their patrol drones, any ritual sites or wild psykers blasting their powers could be reported to the Fire Caste and military raid would happen.
@@mrvex6695 no bro, the Ethereal Caste alrdy decreed to ban any study about immaterium. I read somewhere in the lore, The Tau were trying to reverse Engine imperium warp drive since their conventional Faster than light Travel is the slowest among other Sentient races (the other species that cant travel through warp is Tyranid ). Anyway i forgot the detail but the Earth Caste did suceed in creating a Warp Drive. Being a race with zero psyker of course u know what would happen when the Tau did a test run with this new warp drive space ship... They get lost ..and only returned to Tau space decades later. The crew gone mad and thus the Ethereal caste decided that the warp is no place for the greater good....
I will never get over just how beautiful the art is for several tau pieces, not just the art featured in this video I remember seeing both the image of Crusade era Horus (I believe) conversing with T'au as well as a fan rendition of a T'au Astartes, so damn pretty
Life as a Gue’vesa would be SO much better than life within the imperium. The Tau should focus more on visiting horribly depressing human planets and civilizations to recruit more Gue’vesa, lol. I have a feeling quite a lot of average working class humans (basically slave laborers in this setting) and a lot of people who were destined to be thrown into the meat grinder as standard Astra Militarum soldiers would gladly join up with the Tau to receive a MUCH better quality of life all-around.
They can't even expand properly without a threat of destabilization starts to prop up, hell in the 4th expansion the former leader that was replaced by Shadowsun straight up tried to exterminate all non Tau citizens due to fears of instability to their empire.
Logistics, they can't ftl. You'd never be able to support that fast a growth, not to mention that the tau ARE naive, the Imperial citizen can see how weak the tau thinking is.
I am get your point but hey! In that’s corner there’s fucking Ultramar and generally farm world, sure they doesn’t had tech level as tau but beside lack of technology both Ultramar and Farm world are very decent
Imagine a lone imperial guardsman guarding a warlord class titan when the Tyrannids invade, consume and destroy. "Let me tell YOU about the Tyrannids ... they're hungry 💀" and suddenly the Tau get wind of this and steal it for themselves while offering him a place with them. Of course he's gonna take the better option
T'au: Ok, human, you have been drafted to help the fire caste defend against the Orc invasion, since your experience in the Imperial Guard. Humans, thinking: welp, and here I thought I could avoid death a little longer. T'au: first here's your kit: body armor and a plasma carbine Human: wait WHAT? Human: wait what?
Tau:" And here is battle plan & maps. Should you face overwhelming enemies, you can retreat to these places wait for backup." Human:"Wait, I'm not canon fodder?"
“Why would you want to seek a better life? Now get back to the slave cities where you will live in darkness and misery, and if you really don’t like that, we will send you to the attitude adjusters to reall…oh I see it now”
Trust me, the sentence "Unlikely Alliance" becomes very blurry if the entire Imperium knows they can eat 3 meals a day, a warm bed and actually have a cup of coffee and none of that recaff stuff.

If you're not born and living in an imperium pleasure world, being Tau is the best thing. You'll get to live in a relatively sane society with way better food.
Vast majority of imperial worlds are "civilized worlds", some functioning similar to our own and significantly less grimdark than the average hive world, of course they aren't as densely packed with people, important or interesting so they're sorely underrepresented in the lore, but then again living on a boring and uneventful world in 40k is a rare privilege.

@@tarektechmarine8209 True, but Data Slates are frighteningly basic compared to any IRL modern day device. They are incredibly limited. "Flat and rectangular, data-slates are widespread throughout Imperial space. Data-slates are the primary means of storing and reading printed text, picts, schematics and other media such as video or audio recordings. They are cheap and easy to make, and many contain a single media recording, such as text, and can only play that single file. Others can re-record new information or transmit and receive data from other digital devices such as cogitators." But my actual point wasn't about access to computing, but about access to open networking. The Imperium simply does not have an equivalent to the internet. Everything is locally networked through official channels and authorities, more like a digital postal service or feudal messenger relay. If they did have an actual internet it would make China's oppressively censored and locked down internet, look like a freedom of information paradise by comparison. No doubt about it.

It is worth mentioning that the imperium of man doesn't really "rule" individual worlds, at least not directly. The imperium pretty much just demands three things: pay the imperial tithe, don't worship chaos, and don't create advanced artificial intelligence. Don't get me wrong, it is still 40k, still grimdark, but ultimately how oppressive the day to day life an ordinary person is down to what world they happen to live in. Paradise worlds are a thing after all. Different worlds would have very different systems of government.

One story line I have been thinking for fun: Tyranids that don't want to engage the Tau directly are sending several splinter fleets to bordering Imperial/Tau planets with intent to gather biomass to go and face the tau with multiple front assault, with Ultramar subsector and Hadex Anomaly being hit. This throws ultramarines into direct conflict with several splinter fleets, and from beyond Hadex Anomaly, Lion el Johnsson learns of the tyranid invasion. This would place Robot Grillerman and Lion in same space, where they are co-operating separately with Tau's border planets to try and prevent tyranids from amassing biomass. Tau are fully aware that they have two primarch working with them, but keep the fact to themselves for as long as possible to not have the two fleets unite. As if they would unite, Tau themselves would become unnecessary part of mankinds plans. And that wouldn't sit well with the greater good. So the both sides are using same strategy: Tau provide long range fire support and the humans take the fight up close and personal. Deterriorated state of Lions forces causes them to see great losses, while Rustyboy gets rofl stomping the splinter fleets easily with the primaris. Yet Lions forces would have normal humans, far above skill levels of even common astartes in space warfare, who start turning the tide with Lion. And the ultramarines are being slowly bogged down in plantera fights with ever growing numbers of tyranids. By the time this onslaught is getting to seem like a lost cause for Roundhouse, Lions space crafts are upgraded with Taus earthcasts help, and their forces come to rescue, finally uniting the two primarchs.

C) become a space marine (if you survive the process til you become a full fledged battle brother.

Yeah, humans, kroot, nicassar, fungus people and so on.
Probably depends on the book. I just finished listening to the Farsight books on audible and, aside from the parts narrated by the enemy perspective, there was only one non-tau character
The most i remember is the Caiphes Cain novels show alot of human T'au helpers mentioned even ones who had surgically modified thim selves to be able to speak the T'ue language.
Dont remember what book, but I believe it was mention that human and the other species live in different communities separated from each other even if they occupied the same planet. They only really interact with one another if they are call to service by the tau empire.

I wonder how Tau deals with human tendency to being corrupted by chaos since Tau know little about immaterium and cannot posess any psyker powers which also gives them natural resistance against corruption.
They probably do have some sort of secret police, something akin to Inquisition, but run by other Guevesa and much more local on planet to planet basis.
They could have like a Psyker Human who is an absolute fanatic to the Greater Good, who could be the leader, directly responding to Ethereals. Using his psyker powers to sniff out other, wild and dangerous psykers and other lackeys of Chaos.
Furthermore, the Tau could simply make stuff against Chaos, given technology can interact with Warp (gellar fields, warp drives and many others), they could probably make like Warp sensors they could mount on their patrol drones, any ritual sites or wild psykers blasting their powers could be reported to the Fire Caste and military raid would happen.
@@mrvex6695 no bro, the Ethereal Caste alrdy decreed to ban any study about immaterium.

Anyway i forgot the detail but the Earth Caste did suceed in creating a Warp Drive. Being a race with zero psyker of course u know what would happen when the Tau did a test run with this new warp drive space ship...
They get lost ..and only returned to Tau space decades later. The crew gone mad and thus the Ethereal caste decided that the warp is no place for the greater good....

Life as a Gue’vesa would be SO much better than life within the imperium. The Tau should focus more on visiting horribly depressing human planets and civilizations to recruit more Gue’vesa, lol. I have a feeling quite a lot of average working class humans (basically slave laborers in this setting) and a lot of people who were destined to be thrown into the meat grinder as standard Astra Militarum soldiers would gladly join up with the Tau to receive a MUCH better quality of life all-around.
The brainwashing would be a pretty big hurdle but even with all the propaganda there’d still be a lot of them down for it
They can't even expand properly without a threat of destabilization starts to prop up, hell in the 4th expansion the former leader that was replaced by Shadowsun straight up tried to exterminate all non Tau citizens due to fears of instability to their empire.

They are cheap and easy to make, and many contain a single media recording, such as text, and can only play that single file. Others can re-record new information or transmit and receive data from other digital devices such as cogitators."
But my actual point wasn't about access to computing, but about access to open networking. The Imperium simply does not have an equivalent to the internet. Everything is locally networked through official channels and authorities, more like a digital postal service or feudal messenger relay. If they did have an actual internet it would make China's oppressively censored and locked down internet, look like a freedom of information paradise by comparison. No doubt about it.

Every single one of us would join the Tau over living in the hell that is the Imperium if given the chance
If they play around with those Humans long enough
They live to see their empire overthrown and ruled by Humans
just a matter of time
Are you saying that inviting a bunch of foreign backwards aliens that don't share your values and morals into your empire and giving them privileges is going to end up in tragedy?? Oh boy the EU should hear of this!
Humans in battlesuit thats a tenpting offer
after reading the comments we definitely need a purge here :D
One story line I have been thinking for fun:
Tyranids that don't want to engage the Tau directly are sending several splinter fleets to bordering Imperial/Tau planets with intent to gather biomass to go and face the tau with multiple front assault, with Ultramar subsector and Hadex Anomaly being hit.
This throws ultramarines into direct conflict with several splinter fleets, and from beyond Hadex Anomaly, Lion el Johnsson learns of the tyranid invasion.
This would place Robot Grillerman and Lion in same space, where they are co-operating separately with Tau's border planets to try and prevent tyranids from amassing biomass.
Tau are fully aware that they have two primarch working with them, but keep the fact to themselves for as long as possible to not have the two fleets unite. As if they would unite, Tau themselves would become unnecessary part of mankinds plans.
And that wouldn't sit well with the greater good.
So the both sides are using same strategy:
Tau provide long range fire support and the humans take the fight up close and personal.
Deterriorated state of Lions forces causes them to see great losses, while Rustyboy gets rofl stomping the splinter fleets easily with the primaris.
Yet Lions forces would have normal humans, far above skill levels of even common astartes in space warfare, who start turning the tide with Lion.
And the ultramarines are being slowly bogged down in plantera fights with ever growing numbers of tyranids.
By the time this onslaught is getting to seem like a lost cause for Roundhouse, Lions space crafts are upgraded with Taus earthcasts help, and their forces come to rescue, finally uniting the two primarchs.
Imperium fanboys need to take a shower.
PREACH
Hahaha yes
Even their shower water got recycled millions of times, there is no hope for these fanatics.
A lot of them seem to not understand satire.
They stink worse than nurgle
