Both Farsight and Horus stared into the abyss. But when it stared back, Horus blinked.
Luckily, Farsight's battlesuit is equipped with an Ocular Dilation Control System, so he never has to blink. T'au tech sure is handy, eh?
xD
@@jek_si2251 yes it dose
Nice Batman reference.
@@belisarian6429 you mean Dragonlance.
Farsight (being T'au) has problem with deep (abyss very deep) and darkness (abyss very dark).
So, when the Abyss stared back, he didn't notice.
Great to have you back hombre.
Maybe but eldar are in big trouble
He has returned! With courage and honor!
@@wiccanthropy1956 Go away Ultramarine. You know nothing of courage and honor!
@@Khornecussion of course honorable battle brother! I shall respect your desire for personal space!
@@wiccanthropy1956 *Slaanesh enters* Did someone say personal space!?
Two things people are forgetting are:
1. Chaos lies.
2. Visions of the future, even if some come true, aren't always certain - As evidenced by Lorgar's visions of Argel Tal's future that never happen, among others.
That and maybe Choas played its hand too soon... it was perfect timing for Horus but Farsight it may have been too early.
Chaos doesn't lie.
It just tells half truths
Didn’t Argel’s fate technically happen because he died under a titan’s Aquila?
He looked into the heart of chaos and something looked back at him and showed him the many fates that could be or will be
He looked into the abyss, and unlike so many others, he did not blink.
@@Tracer_Krieg sounds about right
And when his people loved him, adored him... he took their adoration and turned it against those they once fought for. To set the galaxy aflame their new mission. Let. The galaxy. Burn.
... Oh, wrong character.
What character is that for
@@hild654 i'd hazard a guess and say it's horus
@@hild654 I made up that... y'know... monologue, but it's in reference to Horus.
Emperor be praised, Remleiz has returned!
Somewhere deep into the warp. "How do we plunge this empire into chaos and make this blue dude our champion?" "Same trick as last time?" "Good idea! Plant another magic sword where he can find it."
If they make the Farsight Enclaves a chaos faction I'll be very very annoyed.
GW would likely lose even more players and be solely responsible for their fan base dying.
I won't play due to the obscene price that is the barrier to entry.
I don't think GW has the energy or motivation to make a new faction, even something so simple as "Chaos Enclaves"
me neither farsight enclaves should remain the farsight enclaves, but a chaos worshipping Tau faction that is entirely new...now thats something i would love to see.
I'd be okay with the 8 splitting into chaos aligned and non-chaos - like, Farsight could overcome the temptations of Khornate bloodshed - but some of his generals may not be so astute. Could be a huge opportunity for some cool narratives
Farsight seeking allies in those who stand against Chaos? Sounds like the ultimate alliance of Eldar magic, Tau technology, and Imerium manpower just might come to be.
I think Necrons might join the alliance against Chaos and Tyranids.
I hope not. I enjoy the "3rd option" that so rarely exists in the 40K universe. Not a loyalist, not a chaos crony, just existing independently of the 2 big powers.
Yea, the third option is undervalued.
Yep but sadly most of game workshops writing staff doesn’t seem to think like this.
Yes that would be cool. The third guys who’ve had enough of all the other bullcrap lol
Yeah like the Ashen Claws except actually cool!
This. I'm an unabashed T'au and Xenos (except the Drukharii) fanboy, at least partly cause the main two factions are exhausting.
Our favorite inquisitor is back!
Farsight: I shall fight for the Tau Empire and the Greater Good, for all else is irrelevant
Dipshit in the Warp Rift: Let us introduce ourselves.. 😈
Farsight: No
there is a great short story called Fire and Ice that has Farsight traveling throughout the Imperium observing and just watching it's people and planets, joined at least briefly by a space marine with inquisitorial connections calling himself the Calavera or eater of sin in T'au. some good moments of introspection between Farsight and the "interrogator".
I'll have to check that out!
Farsight is very close to falling into the abyss here. It made him a much more interesting character for me.
At the end of the day, Khorne cares not where the blood flows from, only that it flows.
I kinda feel like farsight seeing what chaos got to offer and resisiting it would be neat way to go about it, since well..tau are more resistant to chaos, perhaps not to a degree of orks but still....
Also if we really want something dumb to happen, imagine gork or mork blessing him for propa fight he is giving to the boys
He's literally teaching the orks how to fight the elements. Gork and Mork must love him.
Also I wonder if he goes faster when fighting orks?
That would be Ironic and sarcasm
Then again Yarik had happened to him
@@r.cdahuman7682 Ork WAAAGGGGHHH field only works on ork and and ork technology, hence no ork technology(with the exception of the beast) can not work outside of ork hands
@@tfan2222 well it was partly a joke, but you're also not entirely correct. Yarricks power klaw is 100% tech if I'm not mistaken, but it still works because the orks believe it should.
@@tfan2222 Not true, ork tech in fact works better then most of imperial tech, and majority of it works even better in ork hands. Basically put we got that idea of "ork tech needs magic to work" from in universe source of people who think praying makes your gun unjam...
Also best teleporters IoM has are of orky design.
The picture of Horus at 9:33 really looks like a Thunder Warrior to me and made me wonder if any of the TW fell to the Ruinous Powers?
When I first saw this I was like, "I sure miss the Monday uploads" but then I saw that it was uploaded 2 hours ago and my heart skipped a beat. Glad to have you back.
He's back finally 🙌 👏
*In full Bender from Futurama voice* : I'm back, baby
@@40KTheories hi.
How likely do you think it is that an alliance could be forged between Roboute/the Imperium, Yvraine/the Ynnari, and Farsight? I could imagine that when Guilliman is told of Farsight’s actions, he would want to at least have a diplomatic contact with Farsight himself. They could share their own encounters with Chaos and agree on some factors to negotiate and alliance-but the Ethereals would take offense and might lead to civil war as Farsight feared-leaving the Tau open to Chaos corruption.
That would be a good story and twist of the knife for Farsight.
i am very curious as to what would happen should Farsight run into Yvraine
Well Yvraine seems to like blue boys
@@themostloyalorange5209 i expect some rather strange fireworks because of the sword Farsight carries
Well, they'd probably make a campfire and chill, trading stories of their epic deeds.
Yvraine: I'm in to blue boys but... I prefer them to have more "meat" under their armour
@@squeaky1963 It's not about the amount of meat. It's about how good you beat it.
He wears Red and trained in fast melee tactics. Chaos Farsight is essentially CCA Neo Zeon era Char Aznable. Expect Farsight to drop Axis onto Holy Terra.
Yo pops, can we get that in english?
@@Thecheerioatsguy he's comparing farsight to a gundam character
Char is a really good comparison actually god damn
This means nothing to me but I shall like the comment because other people have.
Never actually watched Gundam... Pretty much just G:Wing and Gundam X.
Welcome back to the land of the living, Inquisitor
40k theories: Could farsight fall to chaos
Meanwhile farsight: **actively teabagging khornite berserkerers and nurglings**
Emperor: Yey, good Tau boi!
"This is the place, soldiers! We will fight and we will win!"
"We iz orks! We lovezes da fightin' so bringz itz!"
"Boom! Bang! Kacheeeew! Zzzerrrrt! Zzzzert! Waaahmwaahmwaahm!"
"Dig in! For the greater good!"
"Ahhh! No No! Youz Tau iz beatin us good! Humies ain't dis beefed up! Ack! Ack! Blech! We iz dyin'!"
"And stay dead, villains!"
"Uh, sir...? Those figurines are supposed to represent the forces in the upcoming battle. I know you've had some trouble with planning, but we have a holotable for this kind of... strategy..."
"I find the table and the holograms to be less organic and realistic. This dirt pile here with a brick on top is closer to the actual terrain we will fight on."
"You know we can scan it and load it on the holotable, so that's not... your mom never let you play with action figures as a kid."
"Thats not it at all. I just need something substantial to use as a basis for my tactical planning. I have to feel the dirt under my units. It is much more accurate."
"Right... so you think we will fight orks on an anthill... a massive murderant anthill."
"What? No, why would you say tha... ow! Ow! Ow! Ouch! What?"
"I tried to tell you, sir. Your little simulation really pissed them off and they are pouring out. Sweet Castey Mollastey! They are devouring our figures! Run!!"
"My figurines! No!"
"I'm sure this simulation will be very helpful if we kick a giant anthill during our battle, which is totally plausible. Now can we just use the holotable like normal people?"
"Fine. Let's go. And get me some lotion."
*Later, at the battle*
"Sir, a chaos rift has opened and demons are pouring out!"
"Pouring out? Like what, soldier."
"Like... a... um.... like... uhhhh..."
"LIKE WE JUST KICKED AN ANTHILL, PERHAPS?"
"Damnit...uh... yes."
"TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE, YOU SAID SARCASTICALLY."
"I didnt..."
"A MURDERANT HILL, YOU SAID DERISIVELY."
"Sir, I..."
"JUST PLAYING WITH TOYS, YOU SAID CONDESCENDINGLY."
Welcome back friend! May the theories and lore never end! Your beacon of light still burns true!
Great to see you back and with a very interesting video, indeed! Can T'au fall to the Blood God? Let's see... .
If this means they get a buff and become competitive on the tabletop I am all for it.
I mean, wouldn't the chaos gods see it as a challenge to corrupt them because of the effect it would have on the material realm, rather than looking for large warp presences all the time?
The chaos gods aren’t really good at patience and long term planning. It’s like waving a years worth of healthy calories in front of a kid then offering them the same in chocolate bars. You know which they will pick.
I think I’d rather see the wider tau empire begin to heavily fall to chaos and farsight and his enclaves remain the only ones to stay pure from chaotic taint.
I like that idea.
Need to figure out how the Tau would fell first though.
@@arya31ful tzeenchian corruption seems most likely: they dont seem to be very prone to excess, despair or wrath but the tau are a young and hopeful race with lots of plans and a bright future, basically already halfway to being corrupted by tzeench
@@arya31ful through the Ethereal’s I think would be the best way to spread chaos amongst the masses.
@@MandoSki464
Corrupt an Ethereal and you corrupt the Tau.
Fun topic to come back with. Welcome back and hope you got the rest you probably needed.
Glad you are back, buddy. I hope the break was refreshing and you are feeling a bit better.
The Lore Master has returned!
Welcome back Rem, I hope you got a ton of rest, both mentally and physically. That stuff is important, and as much as I love your videos, I'd prefer you make them when it's safe for your mental health.
Farsight = Horus reincarnated confirmed
back from the retconnian
I see it comming too. A great Tau civil war.
yes but Farsight did not blink
Warmest regards inquisitor glad to see you are back
Mont'au that's a nice name for a chaos tau faction.
Welcome back, Cyberdong lover!!!
Good to see another 40 Theory video.
Whispers in the Warp ...
"Tau? (Cough) We call them 'Diet Souls.' Heah. Starvation food of the gods. (farts weakly)"
"Ugh. Diet Souls slogan was torture. 'Same great taste, same corruptible forms, just less ... everything.'"
"We gave Farsight just that, a glimpse of the future. We also gave it Alpharius and Omegon, Konrad Curze, Magnus, Horus ... didn't detour them. Nooope. Just as planned. Dibs on Water Caste. For now."
"Chaos is a meritocracy. You corrupt the hard-to-get ones like warp-deaf Tau, bigger reward. Some cultie got into a bureaucratic Inquisition position, overbooked a group of Sisters of Battle to cleanse populations that saw things they weren't supposed to see ... actually, the targets saw nothing ... and got those Sororitas so into a killing frenzy of innocents, they become Khornate. Not since the World Eaters was the big guy this happy. Gave 'em custom power armor, showed them off by having them crash a Slaanesh party and slaughter the torture vics before they were to hit the stage. And that Inquisition guy? Well, he's got a bigger future than an IoM desk job. We got brain jobs here for Khorne; we're just pickier about the skulls that keep 'em. Now whoever came up with this corrupted sword to Farsight, he/she/it's going places. But I just want to know, how did they teach Farsight melee combat on the down low?"
"(Reading operator voice) Welcome back, Inquisitor Remleiz. You don't know how big you are in the Eye of Terror and parts beyond. Konrad Curze listened to your channel while floating in the void only because he couldn't touch the dial in his stasis casket. An Iron Warriors warpsmith will craft a memorial statue of TTSTP Cyber- (pauses, giggling) - seriously, that was his name too? -- today for your return, fashioned from Adeptus Mechanicus the Night Lords captured and the Emperor's Children had fun with in trade. Package to be delivered by Al Farius Interstellar Shipping. 'Anonymous and discreet? Choose Al Farius.'"
I'd love with the naive tau get their own horus heresy.
Them getting spanked by Grandfather Nurgle's legions is a good substitution tho
As long as loads and loads of Tau die, I'm happy.
I’m fairly sure grandpappy Nurgle is still hiding under his couch afraid Bobby G is gonna come back
@@blademaker9843 Isha IS currently the biggest thing taht could get Gold Daddy off his life support couch.
Amen to that!
That would be the most boring story ever. Yay we have Imperium Blue!
Finally somthing to make Monday's enjoyable!
Do you think Farsight and Guilliman will encounter each other at some point?
I want that to happen oh so badly. If only to see Farsight and the Taus’ reaction to being the Emperor’s *son* and the reaction of all the human allied to the Tau to seeing a actual Primarch.
God I wish and hope because Guillimen is FAR more favorable to diplomacy but it seems he's off to visit/hunt the Silent King while the Dark Angels have run into multiple Tau and have honored temporary cease fires with them to accomplish similar goals so it looks like they may deal with more of the Tau in lore sooner
Welcome back Remleiz!
Welcome back! I hope the break was good. :)
I've been reading 📚 Farsight's novel "Farsight, empire of lies" and its a fantastic story novel. No doubt that before Farsight fought the orks and demons, Farsight keep hearing a strange voice 👂 in his head which the chaos god khorne "blood for the blood god". So its possible that Farsight could have been influence by khorne specifically.
5:00 Bro Chaos Farsight looks really cool!!!!, I love Farsight and I hope he doesn't get corrupted but if he does I hope he looks like that
80% percent chance the worp those not lie but they are quite intriguing how you get there and what ending he will have like who will kill him when he becomes a demon prince
@@memesofwarhemmer7076 You cant just kill a demon prince and it will be most likely to be out of his control
Welcome back man. Hope you are feeling better now :)
Farsight and the Tau is a interesting topic I think as they can shift in either way to the chaos and then we have the potential god of the Greater God.
"T'au can't melee! Hahah...did...did he just scream blood for the...OH THRONE OH FRACK!!!!!"
No matter how well written it could be, a "Falls to Khorne worship" scenario would basically be admitting that they had no idea what to do about the story arc and needed a cop out. Not bad, but just meh.
1:52 "Wind, Earth, Water, Fire - only the Farsight can master all 4 elements and bring balance to the Ork."
I just realized how much room for Avatar Memes there is in the Tau Empire with their Elemental Caste System :D
wow good job man
That campaign against the Orks makes me think Farsight's got a copy of the Codex Hydra in his back pocket.
Blood for the Blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne.
It's not like Tau blood/skulls are worth much
Good to see you again
It's morning and I wake up to a 40k Theory video. Welcome back and I hope you are feeling better.
welcome back and yeah... He is going to fall.
the Tau are overdue to fall to chaos a race.
and like Magnus, Tzeench already knew the outcome. he just needed to put the pieces in place.
I actually hate the idea of this theory. Making Farsight fall to Chaos seems like they are just mimicking the Horus Heresy. I'd actually prefer it if they made it so they tried to corrupt Farsight and actually fail.
@@xenostyrant4118 that is far more interesting than literally just redoing the hours heresy but with extra dabadee dabada
@@xenostyrant4118 umm true. but still as a race, the Tau are the only unblemished one. (save for some temp individuals)
and since they are now actually casting a presence in the warp. means that from this point on they are fair game for the gods of chaos. (they are aware of them now, and know what they are going to do in the future)
but I agree, they could have done it without farsight .
but usually when GW foreshadow something like this from the warp... almost always happens.
you could say only the emperor and some very rare individuals can change this type of foreshadowing .
but the Tau have not developed that "presence" yet
Welcome back, Remleiz!
Welcome back. Hope you got all the rest you needed
Great to see you back, Nice vid
Hmm I think Farsight had wisdom to isolate him self as he saw is influence as harm full to the enclave.
At the end of the book where the O'botai Stonedragon found O'Shovas battlesuit whit the blade there was odd happenig on the storm, as the water seem to take viscosity of tau blood and sound of thunder seem like roar of mighty god losing his price (chorne).
And on when Farsight was on his exile there was quick moment where seem that chaincher of ways all so was disapointed him not taking his position as leader.
Good to see you again! Interesting theory to start off with! :D
I would love it if Farsight whenever in battle or asleep hears a deep (daemon) voice in his head, maybe seeing the silhouette of a strange figure on and off a throne on occasion (i.e. Khorne himself), telling him to give into his rage, and if he would just humor him(the voice) he would gave all the strength need to save his people from the Ethereals, and dominate the galaxy. But due to the small psychic presence of Tau souls theses are low whispers and simple nightmares. But when he confides in his Imperial associates (Inquisitorial, Astarte, guardsmen, etc.) he gets put off by their looks of concern and boarder line terror before being told *Everything* about Chaos.
It could lead to some interesting subplots of Farsight having use all his mental fortitude to not give in to Khornes words.
If Farsight ended up being the 40k version of Malus Darkblade( *Occasionally* using the dark powers within him but still being himself, only through his mental fortitude, sheer willpower instead if magic potions, and small soul/psychic presence in the warp) I would but just fine with that, *but, BUT…* that is the absolute *Limit* of both Farsight and Tau Chaos corruption(unless it’s the Tau allied humans, in which case goes nuts).
The Farsight once again, my third favorite faction. Love it and hypes me up and xenos fan.
Good to have you back
Welcome back, hope the break was restful!
Great come back vid!!!
Oh T'ua, only on the scene for a few thousand years and already getting noticed by Chaos. They grow up so fast.
What God do you think will touch them first and how as from last I heard nurgle was moving in
I am glad after your well deserved rest you continue your part of the emperors work!
Really curious about your anti-NATO avatar. Are you Putin? lol
@@harvestblades I am just against the biggest imperialist club. Don't like Putin though.

REMLEIZ LIVES!!! *STOMP STOMP*
Ah fantastic! Good to hear you again Rem!
If they turn my boy Farsight to chaos, i quit 40k
Welcome back Remliez. Hope you had a most enjoyable break and got to read as many books as Magnus whilst relaxing.
Hey Remleiz. Hope you are well and that the gw fan content ban is not negatively effecting you. Always a highlight in my day when I see some of your content. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Rem i was expecting you to return eventually but holy molly... this is massive!!!
Welcome back man.
Great video as allways
Its good to see you back.
I've been here for a while long long enough to say Remleiz has returned
“It’s entirely possible.”
If Farsight starts looking like a bodybuilder and/or taking a little *too* much joy in warfare, especially melee combat, we should definitely start showing concern.
Alternarive theory: The visions were just Tzeench messing with him
Honestly farsight going khorne would be really neat, seeing an actually honorable servant to the god that represents honorable combat is something long overdo, though, I don't think it will happen
It sure would be so interesting if he did.
Not only would it mean that chaos forces would be more than just the traitor marines but also even paint all of this time as the tau's own Horus heresy.
Now that will be a cool kitbash to make
Welcome back
Wow this video is super fresh
the galaxy deserves chaos gundams
NO NONONONONONONONONONONONO AND NO
Welcome back Squire
At least a few of my favorites remain. O’Sho’Va is repentant former blueberry space commie. Now he’s a bad ass blueberry. Thus immune to Chaos.
hey hey..good to see you here.
return of the king
Hello Rem. good to see you back.
i just have one question regarding the recent events surrounding GW´s IP protection.
do we have to fear you getting bonked by GW over your content?
Commenting for the algorithm, welcome back.
I think it could be neat for Farsight to fall; it might be nice to see someone other than Humanity attracting damnation. I do wonder, though, will his sword help him, or damn him? O'Shovah killed many Orcs with his Dawn Blade, as well as numerous Daemons, and I believe that all of their "time" left was added to his score, which is part of how Farsight still lives. Maybe that essence will shield him, but maybe it's all warp stuff inside him, and will turn him all the more.
As for the Eight, are they still around? Over the window from Guillaman returning to current time stamp, I'd think some of the Eight died, either from injury or illness. I thought one even died from the Eversor sent after him. This means that the Eight may not be at full power.
5:23 way to get the adeptus custode on your back for the rest of eternity
I welcome you back! Hope you got your well deserved rest! And no, I don't think he will fall to chaos, more likely to join forces with us ...or just die 🙃
We should have more Chaos - alinged Xenos
I do wish they had some representation on the tabletop.
Yeah, Its so lackluster we only get human worshipers and daemons on table top. Imagine getting some Yu'vath or similar twisted chaos xeno.
The thing is humans are by far most vulnerable to chaos. The tyranid hive mind is basically a godlike warp entity and as such is too strong to be corrupted, with individuals not having a mind to corrupt, orks can fall but an entire group has to fall almost simultaneously or they'll just kill the "non-orky" ones, and elder get instantly eaten
I was randomly thinking about this the other day. I kind of hope he does, tbh
The question becomes if the visions are the same or separate potential realities. If they are separate realities, the future is uncertain and his fall is not guaranteed. If they are the same reality, this reality may yet be changed, but it may also be inevitable
I'm fairly certain in the belief that O'Shovah possesses one of the Crone Swords. That would be very, very bad if he fell to Chaos. He may be falling into the knowledge and manipulated by Morai-Heg for some esoteric prophecy. Regardless, he seems to be a coveted piece in the game many want on their side to further their goals.
Sadly it seems unlikely that the Dawnblade is a Crone Sword, since recent lore says that Shalaxi Hellbane stole the last Crone Sword and hid it within the palace of Slaanesh (with the other 4 in the possession of Yvraine, the Visarch, the Yncarne and Prince Yriel respectively)
@@40KTheories bummer...guess it's just a dumb ol' necron blade now?
Welcome back.
Main question what about Tzeench? Why gaze to Farsight? Because he prefers the change?
I have read the book, Khorne is very likely upset that Farsight is out of his reach
Tzeentch is probably watching Farsight because of all the change he's destined to bring the T'au Empire, and rubbing his hands excitedly because of it
Khorne is upset about a lot of things
Farsight saw Chaos and its evil Gods, he saw inevitable cataclysmic apocalypse that tears Galaxy fucking asunder, and he didnt yield
He truly has immense willpower
Good to see you back Remleiz, especially during those dark Times for w40k fans.
