      I kind of like that the ethereals are given SOME justification to what they do. They're surprisingly nuanced for a 40k dictator class whether it was intentional or not. Like, on one hand they are technically mind controlling their subjects, but they also actually care about their society even if they have little to no respect for individuality. Like, they've done more as a species in 100 years than humans have in 10000, that kind of unity is astounding.

    Well about O'Kais - He was skilled like Shadowsun and Farsight. He appeared at Dawn of war Dark Crusade, where eventually he lost to the Blood Ravens and Captain Thule by losing their Ethereal - Aun'el. This broke Tau's fighting spirit and Kais could only leave the planet and save those who could be saved. After that he became kinda extra violent against Imperium and humans. Because of it Ethereals do not use him so much, because Shadowsun doesnt have such problem at all. Kais is a good tactic commandor like Shadowsun, he is just very violent which is a big no-no to Ethereals. It is possible that he is also the main hero of the Fire Warrior Video Game, but i'm not sure of it.

    • @Travelling_Heart15

      Even if he isn't the Protag from Fire Warrior, which I believe he is, Kais is now a Doom Guy for the Tau, the aethereal Call him "The Living Weapon", in the book War of secrets, he solo an Astartes chapter Monestary, albeit one with a skeleton crew and weaken defenses, he wipe out a terminator squad, a few Astarte squad, a librarian, a chaplain, the chapter master himself almost got kill before he ordered a lance strike on Kai's himself to stop him but Kai's managed to escape, at the end of it all, Even his fellow Tau doesn't consider him a Tau because of how deadly he is. This is just something straight from my head, not so accurate but serviceable enough to get a message across.

    One piece omitted, though, is elaborated in the novel Farsight, when dealing with the Tyaranids. That biotoxin the earth cast scientists developed could be administered only one way: self sacrifice of those scientists to be consumed by the Tyranids after infecting themselves. It was a major event that proved to Farsight that the cause of the Greater Good lived on, stronger than ever, without the guidance of the etherial cast.

    Sucks for the actual Enclave rules they took away a lot of their melee options for suits, the Eight lost their official datasheet in 9th, and Mont'ka isn't currently available as a detachment rule.
    Also my usual Commissar Yarrick Major Mini request for day like 210 or something I can't recall. xD

    My favorite thing about the Farsight Enclaves is that they're the only uncontested good guy faction in the entire setting. Warhammer 40k is supposed to be grimdark, sure, good guys are a myth, and everything is a moral gray, but even if the Farsight Enclaves are the good guys it 1: makes them more unique, and 2: their lack of size and territory just goes to show how screwed up the rest of the galaxy is. If the most morally upstanding faction is just this miniscule sliver in a galaxy of insanity, you can tell things might not go well.

      From what I understand, it's simply the Tau combat doctrine to attack from a distance and not get too close.

Plus, they have Kroot for that.

      Speaking as a Tau player there aren't really many ways for the tau to enter the main stage for 3 main reasons. First and most obvious, their size. The tau really dont have the forces to do much more than slowly expnad their little bit of the galaxy. This is why GW should have made them much larger when they were first released.
      Second, their travel speed. Startide nexus aside, the tau ships really cant get anywhere with any real speed and unlike the imperium can't just throw ships into the warp until an armada gets out at their destination
      Finally is their general knowledge of the universe. Farsight himself is only just grasping the conepts of chaos and the like and what he know he knows he cant really fightr against so there is no reason for him to risk the enclaves for that. I mean look at the imperium. They are huge yet all they are really doing is providing scrap for the orks, Biomass for the nids, bodies for chaos, slaves for the dark eldar and to a much lesser extent but still an extent, converts for the tau.

It triggered a flashback of her near death experience which angered her and ordered the Earth Caste to destroy the temples. However she was getting desperate against the Death Guards and ask the Auxiliaries to pray to Tau'va to help defeat the Death Guards.
