Because my misguided child, to join the Tau is to slap shackles upon oneself and deny thy divine right to the stars. To join any Xenos Empire is to work for another species gain, to forward their ends instead of the righteous cause of man. To shy from the Imperium is to damn mankind to a miserable demise in the steely grip of the dark gods, for no Xenos Empire can even hope to defeat the Chaos Gods in the final battle. Your actions of betrayal not only hurt your saintly race but do a disservice to yourself. Your life will be sold as fodder to a revolting alien, and your soul will never join the eternal chorus in the Emperor's golden hall.

Mankind will only survive if we remain unified in the face of all that would destroy us, for as individuals we may be pulled apart and sucked into the gates of the warp- but together we are INVINCIBLE. For we are LEGION. None can stand before our collective might, for our numbers are endless and our firepower insurmountable.

Yes the Imperium may be oppressive- such is the unfortunate requirement to build and sustain a galactic empire of man. But fear not! You die a martyr's death for humanity, and our heavenly father will shield your soul from the endless daemonic legions of Chaos, for his love for you is endless, even in your betrayal of him.

Rejoice, let your soul tremble with joy! For although you must be executed for your crimes there is yet redemption. In life you may forsake yourself, but in death the Emperor will never abandon you, for his love is absolute! Repent now before you die, repent your sins and beg forgiveness for wounding our father so, for he sheds a tear for every man and woman that would abandon him. Why do you make him cry my child? Our Emperor sacrificed everything for the species, who are you to preach supposed Xenos righteousness when you reduce such a magnificent being to tears out of his love for you?

The Imperium doesn't fight for Humanity. Humanity died ten thousand years ago and probably more.

The Imperium fights for Mankind, because that's all that's left. 'Humanity' and all that we hold dear about it, is gone, drowned in the tide of bloodshed and crushed under billions of marching boots. Ironically, the closest thing to Humanity these days, is to be found with xenos... At least now Aun'va's dead. That asshole was just bad news all the way.

In AoS, not 40k, and AoS can go suck dicks as far as I care. My Slaanesh was born when the Eldar fucked him and a new hole in reality into existence and wins no matter the situation because he always manages to play it to his own advantage.

But just to humor your logic for a second, look how far the Tau got in AoS.

No? They'd selectively breed/train for charisma and probably intelligence.

Being sexually attractive is good sure, but it only goes so far. You're better off just having a member of the Water Caste and at least one human 'representative' who is an attractive man/woman who is also charismatic.

Messing with selective breeding in an attempt to make your race sexually attractive to a race that isn't going to be breeding with it is a waste of time when you have perfectly good human populations you can take from.

>Worshiping Slaanesh

But why? If it's lasting pleasure you seek, Slaanesh should be the last one you go to.

Sure, you will be in ecstasy for quite a while, but eventually the things you find pleasurable will no longer be enough. The tightest virgin will not satisfy you, the tastiest wine will be like stale water to you and the greatest music will sound like a jumble of notes placed one after another with no regard to melody.

In Slaanesh' service, you will try to find satisfaction, but will never be satisfied by anything. That is his/her/its trap.
>>
>>44280125
>you will try to find satisfaction, but will never be satisfied by anything
Firstly, that's average life in the 40k universe, I'd rather be bored of an exiting life than bored of a mundane one, secondly if you hit the point of diminishing returns that quickly you either need to try harder or you're too good at being Slaaneshi, and finally I have no doubt in my mind that the prince of pleasure has always got something ever more satisfying up their sleeves and is happy to dish it out to anyone willing to go the extra mile in his name.
>>
>>44280125
You're going to die in glorious ecstasy long before that ever happens.

You don't understand, do you? It's the entire point of Slaanesh to keep you wanting, so that you go to all kinds of lengths (excess) to try and feel something again.

Slaanesh wants to deprive you of pleasure so you will keep on trying to attain it. A satisfied slave won't keep trying, after all.

>It's the entire point of Slaanesh to keep you wanting, so that you go to all kinds of lengths (excess) to try and feel something again

Yeah but Slaanesh makes sure that every hit of pleasure is super duper powerful and leaving you craving for more. It's not that Slaanesh takes away the pleasure it's just that you burn yourself out on something until you are used to it and want something even more, and I think that serves as a pretty good risk and reward system.

When I'm a daemon prince on my own pleasure planet and can honestly say I have visited Slaanesh's festivities and realms to the point at which I have literally exhausted every possibility for pleasure that could ever happen to me. then I will either spend the rest of my existence cynically leading people into the same trap as I have serving as a bitter mentor to many a pleasure seeking madman, or I will explode into daemonettes and they'll all come and visit everybody that posts in this thread.

Why not? It's no worse than dying as an Imperial Guardsman, or spending your life doing random labor to feed yourself.

They do reject humanity in the sense that biological life is lesser to them than that of mechanical. That is why they seek to replace their flesh with machinery.

And it's not like they subscrible to the teachings of the Imperial Cult, either. They are much more like an independent allied empire than a proper part of the Imperium.
>>
>>44281440
that's pretty cool. I like how the nright arm isn't armoured, but is completely mechanical so I'd imagine it absorbs the recoil, allowing any guardsman no matter his physical stature to operate a huge bolter.
>>
>>44282017
They don't really reject humanity or else they'd embrace artificial intelligence. Instead, they worship knowledge and see technology as the ultimate expression of human knowledge. While they don't view the Emperor as a god the way the rest of the Imperium does, they do view him as a manifestation of divine knowledge (basically Machine God jesus).

Really, the Machine Cult built from the very human desire for knowledge.
>>
>>44282158
I'm not the guy you replied to, but you do realize that the desire for knowledge isn't really a human exclusive trait, at least in the 40k universe?

>According to its teachings, knowledge is the supreme manifestation of divinity, and all creatures and artefacts that embody knowledge are holy because of it. Machines that preserve knowledge from ancient times are also holy, and machine intelligences are no less divine than those of flesh and blood. A man's worth is only the sum of his knowledge - his body is simply an organic machine capable of preserving intellect. In the Cult's tenets, life itself is of no intrinsic value. One of the most obvious examples of this belief is the techpriests' use of humans as raw material in the creation of the machine-slaves known as servitors.

They worship knowledge itself, with no pretense of humanity being its sole bearer. In this way they differ from the Imperial Cult that establishes that humanity is the pinnacle of evolution and above all other living creatures.

I always wondered why so many smut authors just consider humans and any other xenos species interbreedable, in fantasy settings it kind of makes sense, same evolutionary predecessor and all that, but with xenos, they could be using a completely different system that may require less or more than two partners, or even more fucked up stuff.
Why is no smut writer ever touching up on that?
>>
>>44284501
Because I guess exotic reproduction methods aren't really exciting for us humans to read.
If the reader can't easily picture it makes the entire thing less "close" to them. I doubt anyone would find a story about, Kroot mating intense or interesting, unless it's really, really well written.
If it doesn't include intense pounding, or at least human-like genitalia, the reader can't really identify themselves to the characters, making a huge part of the smut thing pointless, I guess.

Unless you see it in action, you can't judge wether it's advanced ot not. Strapping synthetic skin-like material on a metal skeleton with very few articulations would have the exact same result on an image.
Also, maintaining balance during walk is WAY harder to achieve in robotics than making a upper half look cute or lifelike, for example.

You could use something that is similar, but still different. You could use that stuff to implement any fetish of yours, for example I remeber a relatively long and terribly written smut story about some factory hive worker who meets two tau girls and his old mechanicum mistress. Longnstory short: foursome. The author mentioned at one point that the human penis penetrates the tau cervix easily, and that this is normal with tau to allow for a firmer grip during reproduction.
It was an interesting twist, not necessarily my style, but a twist on the same old in'n'out.

The Alien Mechanism is a perversion of the True Path, brother. They are unhallowed things, with machine-spirits that were never meant for men. There is no wisdom in them, for the chain of facts that led to their creation beyond to the race that made them, and cannot be made to serve man. We must use our own facts instead. Anything else is forsaking the True Path and an act of tech-heresy. PRAISE BE TO THE OMNISSIAH!

Imagine that the Horus Heresy didn't happended and by some reason the imperium didn't completely conquered the eastern fringe of the galaxy, and by the time they go to conquer it the same warpstorm that protected the Tau in there infacy happens again.
By the time that would happen the Imperium would already have there webway for atleast 6 thousands years and mankind technology also progressed and the Imperium is truly governed as an absolutist monarchy with the emperor at it's head no longer a simple "tributary empire" but in fact an empire with standardization of the Imperial army and the legions astartes and all aspects of civil life in all worlds.
There is no longer deathworlds and forge worlds human life would be truly iddilic and with Big E alive and you know ruling, there would be no great moral decay as it happened with the eldar.
Now back to the Tau the warpstorm is over and they start there second sphere of expansion (remember another 4000 years of technological advanciment happened in humanity realm at this point), the imperium notices that the warpstorm passed but also noticesthe upstart empire expansion and the military decides to that maybe it's time to make a diplomatic voyage.
In an instant thousands of ships appear above the skies of T'au the all of the population of the xenos empires are in shock they believe they were the rightful rulers of the galaxy, that they were the ones to bring light and hope to all the conners of this ever expanding collection of stars and planets, and now they discover that it's already happened that all theyworked as a species to achieve amounts to nothing in comparisson to what humanity did and now they can only despair.

There is no standard worship of the Emperor. Some believe he lives inside a sun while others believe that he and the golden throne is located in some kind of heaven.

Believing he is the machine god in physical form is not any more different than many of the other beliefs you will find throughout the imperium.

Sure, but that copulation method described in that story still includes a penis penetrating a vagina. Even on earth, living things have very different methods of reproduction. So you'd think that on a completely different planet, chances are that it's totally different. (But I guess xenos whould look radically different too, compared to how most of them are shown as human-like)
I guess it would also allow for magical realm bullshit, like you mentioned.

Funny how they claim that, when humanity is numerically greater than them, and therefore the greater good is the imperium.

And there's nothing altruistic about the tau empire. They don't do anything because it'd be "good" to, they do it to expand their empire. The imperium does the same thing, however it doesn't feign moral superiority. It is, however, the one thing stopping a galaxy full of ancient killer robots, brutishly strong psychic fungi, galaxy-enslaving psychic entities(not talking about the evil gods), quintrillions of space locusts from another galaxy, maddening reality-molesting gods in all flavors who want your soul in something worse than hell for longer than forever, all manner of horrifying xenos who are no doubt more horrifying but less in number, human rebellion and stupidity, from destroying trillions of human lives and dooming said trillions to fates worse infinitely worse than hell.

Quit it with your self-righteous bullshit, xeno-fucker. There's nothing great or good about the tau.
