>Craigh let's get the fuck out of here while he's distracted.
Sure, but may I ask...Any hot ayy lmao women I can be with in a loving relationship?
>>46514097
If your "greater good" comes with such faulty technology then no, I dont want any of it you one eyed scum!.
>>46514097
If by "greater good" you mean answering if tau women hav Y shaped vulvas?
No.
>>46515955
Please tell me that's not a Dark Eldar. I'd love a regular Eldar to be that pimp.
>>46516023
the Alaitoc symbol on the helmet suggests so
Also the color scheme would be blue body, bright yellow helmet
pretty pimp
>>46514097
No farsight for life bitch
>>46517661
What the fuck is a farsight
So why do so many people think Tau Empire is an Orwellian Nightmare?
>>46514097
I think I'm fine, thanks.
>>46514097

Because if you're any race except a pure breed tau (who are subject to the ethereals pheromone control anyway) you are always at risk of sterilization, abduction and experimentation, and have no say in anything.
>>46517905
Because
dude
GREEM DARKNESS
lmaoit's a pretty good meta reason though
>>46517973
Source? On any of it?
>Phermones -> Debunked by Mont'Ka. Speculation from a dipshit magos in old, defunct fluff.
>Sterilization -> Speculation by pro-imperial narrator in a non-canon ending of a non-canon video game
>Abductions? Like random abductions or mass abductions? I don't know about random, but they do move entire populaces to worlds they control
>Non-tau experimentation? Yeah, maybe.
They do keep unruly/potentially unruly citizens in slave labor camps.
>>46514097
Actually yes iam interested. Please do come on and make yourselves at home.
>prepares comfy seaga for them
>makes them both aweet drinks
>readys notes for important details

>>46514097
We should talk about the God Emperor instead.
Have you heard about him you filthy xeno heretics?
>>46514097
>>46514097
Get off my porch or the fish-goat gets it.
>>46514097
Kinda, a little bit.
I honestly have no idea what it is.
>>46514097
>>46517905
Farsight.
Join-or-die gunboat diplomacy (still better that the Imperium, but not nice by any means).
Human psykers breeding camps.
Fascist (expected full dedication to the greater good, no personal liberties)
Covert infighting (castes assassinating each other for the greater good; cf. Last Chancers)
Inspired by chicom and other ideologies aren't nice by any means.
Basically: Everyone int the Tau Empire is equal, but some are more equal than others.
>>46514097
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
++translation: Certainly, but only if we make out first. It's my people's custom++
>>46518790
>Human psykers breeding camps.
I haven't seen fluff on this before. Where is this featured. Sounds like a good way to get their shit fucked up.
>>46518842
Some old White Dwarf, IIRC. They tried to create navigators to be able to do longer warp-jumps and expand the Empire.
Since they have no psykers, they experiment on the human population, because Science! Science for the Greater Good!
And yes, they don't have wards, so it often backfires.
>>46518790
>Farsight
Left because he learned about Chaos. I'm pretty sure they specified that he's not open about Chaos either.
>Join-or-die
That's expansionist, not orwellian.
>Fascist->No personal liberties
That's a bit of a stretch. Sure, they decide for you whether you're a soldier, a pilot, a builder/scientist, or a diplomat, and in that way they make sure you serve the Greater Good, but "no personal liberties"? Not-being-allowed-to-choose-method-of-contribution is not the same as all-liberties-removed. They may have a huge assortment of off-duty diversions to chose from. The rampant farsight-support from within the empire itself demonstrates that there's possibly too much personal freedom.
>Covert infighting
You sure about that? That maybe sounds like something you imagined.
>>46514097
I'd like to hear more about those forehead slits.
>>46518375
beautiful
>>46514097
Deathmarks, remove these infants from my doorstep immediately!
Kids these days...
>>46520166
what the hell is that gargantuan triarch in the background and why don't we see more of it
>>46519377
>That maybe sounds like something you imagined.
Dude, I provided the reference in the last post. Last Chancers novel "Kill Team"
Long story short, a Shas'O is conquering Imperial outposts for the Greater Good and is on a winning streak, the Water caste considers this to be a bad choice in the long term compared to diplomacy, but they can't denounce him openly since it would crackle the picture of the unity of the Tau Empire, so they ask the Imperium to provide a team of assassins to kill the Shas'O, and only give them intel, for plausible deniability.
>>46518375
>trying to woo a SoB
That wouldn't have worked even if he were human.
