1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Most notably though, Farseid makes the Book of the Beast, which is very sus by Tao standards

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:13,280
because you're not allowed to write if you're in the Firecast or play with LEGO or read.

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,360
You're all illiterate, you have guns.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,520
When Anwar catches the baby Firecast playing with Mega Bloks, he sends in the drones you're

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:30,480
wearing. Is this literally the meme of like back when you were all reading I was studying the

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,920
blade? Yeah and so Farseid starts getting allegations of being bashed, yeah, because if you do

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,920
something else outside of your cast they don't like it. Imagine like in a high school you know

8
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,640
you got like the Earthcast and like some mechanic is studying for some test and then Farseid comes

9
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,160
and pushes them in the lockers. You're doing nerds reading. He's got a head in the toilet

10
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,160
he's coming out of their weird nose.

11
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to Law Crimes. Today on the Beginner to the Expert

12
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,560
podcast we are discussing something a little bit different than usual. We talk a lot about humanity

13
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,280
and the space marines and all the other fun things that you know everyone loves about

14
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,360
Warhammer but occasionally we have to talk about the stuff that is a bit more

15
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:45,200
niche. We've got to cater to the weebs occasionally. The weebs? No, no. It is the non-weeb

16
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:54,960
telly the raider. And today we are talking about the Farseid enclave so we're talking about some

17
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,240
dirty Xenos. Yeah, yeah let's go. But first...

18
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:10,400
Okay everyone so what was the question last time and it was the hashtag lawlies where you had to

19
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,640
tell us some obscure lies about what was going on in the 40k universe. We've had some pretty good

20
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:25,440
spicy look through this thing. It's always a joy to look through just all the responses and then

21
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:32,800
try and pick some of the ones that we particularly enjoyed. I've picked out a few very different ones

22
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,840
of varying types of comedic prowess shall we say. So I'll start off with a very short and sweet but

23
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:48,640
strong one from Irish wristwatch. Hashtag lawlies the emperor's original crusade against AI saw him

24
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:59,680
named the Secunder Bomber. I think that one was quite good. What was his name? I just need to sit down for a moment there.

25
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:11,360
The Secunder Bomber. Famed criminal Taddeus Kazinskis.

26
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,800
I think as Elo mentioned in a bit of a past episode briefly and I was like yeah that reminded me of Elo's comment.

27
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,400
Oh my god. Good work. Irish wristwatch.

28
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,360
Abominable intelligence has been a disaster for the human race. That's right.

29
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:35,600
It's consequences. We ready for another one? Hit us. Hit us. Let it rip. This one's a bit more fun.

30
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,680
It's a bit less hard but it's also fun. It's from Leyte22 and he said worst kept secret of the

31
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Imperium is that all the space wolves are secretly multiple corgis stacked on top of each other in a power scene.

32
00:03:47,600 --> 00:04:00,160
See that's good but I have to disagree because corgis are the best dog on the planet and the space wolves are awesome.

33
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Corgis are awesome. I mean I like all dogs but you know corgis are amazing. This is 100% written by a British person because they know it was the queen who stacked all the corgis in a suit.

34
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,920
Well you know what mystery British person you and your corgis rock on. Corgis are awesome.

35
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Oh my god. I had a fat corgi named Rocky. He was the dumbest creature on the planet. He was also the fattest dog ever.

36
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,240
He would get excited and run but when he would try and turn a corner he couldn't stop because he was so

37
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,040
fat and dumb so he would just plow into the wall. Don't you basically think he was a fluffy marshmallow with legs?

38
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:46,960
I think he was more like a red loaf because when he would like where he lays down his legs would just disappear.

39
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,960
So he just looked like a red loaf of the head.

40
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,960
I love that noise.

41
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Was he like not very stealthy like breathing from a Bible?

42
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:09,600
I mean yeah whatever he moved he would just and we took him on walks like we didn't just over feed him. We fed him. We've always fed our dogs.

43
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,600
We took him around. He was just he just fat.

44
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,600
Fat dumb happy corgi.

45
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,600
Stomped dog. He's living the life dude.

46
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,600
Dude he was the happiest little guy on the planet.

47
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,600
Now put him in space green armor. Oh my god.

48
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,600
Yeah yeah.

49
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:35,600
Okay and the last one I have picked out is from Stephanie Schwartz which is hashtag Lorelies.

50
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:43,600
The worst kept secret in Warhammer is that Evrein has actually not been spending the time since the fight with the demon recovering.

51
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,600
He's actually spending every second letting Gillamann put his battle barge in her weapon.

52
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,600
That joke was going the moment you said Evrein.

53
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,600
I just knew it.

54
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,600
There's only one way those jokes do go.

55
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Oh man.

56
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Loki kind of true.

57
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,600
I mean Colin's always whining we don't talk about the Eldar enough so there we go.

58
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,600
That's exactly what I want. I got what I wanted out of these questions.

59
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,600
He truly infiltrated him.

60
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,600
You think the Ultramarine chant is playing when Gillamann's smashing?

61
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,600
Oh stop.

62
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,600
I reckon it's not that it's playing I reckon he has an Ultramarine choir standing at the side of the bed just encouraging him.

63
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,600
Just shouting theoretical and practical.

64
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Oh my gosh.

65
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,600
You're flat. Need to be a bit shatter in your intonation.

66
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,600
Yes my lord.

67
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Evrein!

68
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:43,600
I'm practically Colin.

69
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,600
I am enjoying this very much. Theoretical I am enjoying this very much. Practical.

70
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,600
Evrein give me a practical and a theoretical.

71
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,600
Theoretical. Eldar and humans cannot have children. Practical. Only one way to find out.

72
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Oh god it's too early in the video.

73
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,600
Stupid Eldar let's stop talking about this.

74
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,600
Okay okay.

75
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,600
I end in church.

76
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600
We have a new question of the week.

77
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Themed specifically after today's topic.

78
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:29,600
And that question of the week is hashtag greater good for what is one aspect of 40k lore you would remove for the greater good.

79
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Controversial dumb or stupid answers only please and that's hashtag greater good.

80
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600
The dumber the better.

81
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600
There's one bad answer to this. I started shooting the knee.

82
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,600
Alright.

83
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,600
May I give my example answer for the crowd?

84
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,600
I would remove everyone's knowledge of the emperor.

85
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,600
I wouldn't remove the emperor just everyone's knowledge of his existence.

86
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Just because I think it would be funny for mid battle at Garzun to be shouting for the... what?

87
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,600
And their brain just like just blue screens for them like what am I fighting for? What's going on?

88
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,600
That would make an entire setting awkward.

89
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,600
Traitorly just completely forget why are we rebelling what happened? I know I hate them why do I hate them?

90
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,600
How would that affect the emperor's children because that's their battle cry and it's also their name.

91
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,600
There's no way we're shouting we're gonna go fight the children in Warhammer.

92
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,600
They're just called the apostrophe S children now.

93
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,600
I think the tower would win if that happened.

94
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,600
Imperium breaks apart there's nothing holding them together anymore.

95
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,600
The only thing that keeps people from joining the tower is their belief in the emperor.

96
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,600
And even then they still join the tower all the time so...

97
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Hopefully we'll cover some of that.

98
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600
A little heresy going on here.

99
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Jesus it's the real emperor.

100
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,600
Zeno W.

101
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Real, real. 100, 100 fire emoji, fire emoji.

102
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,600
I'm gone.

103
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:09,600
We'll be covering some of the most recent Farcite Enclave lore with the Arks of Omen stuff.

104
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,600
So we'll hopefully see if we get the emperor raised later on in our discussions.

105
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Okay and with that done I believe Hal you're doing the beginner section this week so take it away.

106
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Thank you very much and I can't wait for Andy to suffer through this.

107
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,600
If everyone who...

108
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Headphones in, listen to some you know Mariah Carey or something.

109
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600
For those who don't know... I'll go ahead and say Colin.

110
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Andy's gonna just be editing his own videos he's done before crime.

111
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Officially retired.

112
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:53,600
For those who don't know Andy is a Imperial simp so therefore we're gonna...

113
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:02,600
He's strapped in as you are strapped in and we'll be listening to Commander Farcite of the Farcite Enclave.

114
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,600
Woo!

115
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Excitement, excitement boys.

116
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,600
He's blue.

117
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,600
He is in flat blue.

118
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,600
He's blue indeed.

119
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,600
I have a joke about that later but we'll get to...

120
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:25,600
Let's just start off easy, we'll start off slow here and then we'll get a little bit heretical, a little bit separatist shall we say.

121
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,600
But let's just start right at the beginning and this is the character Commander Farcite.

122
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:42,600
Now you might be thinking Farcite seems like a very normal name perhaps for a Xenos and that's because it's not his real name.

123
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:48,600
And you have to excuse me here whilst I flub and I absolutely butcher his true name.

124
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,600
I think Eli might have to come in with an assist here.

125
00:10:52,600 --> 00:11:03,600
But his true name which actually is titles, his name is Schaas O. Viola Schova Keis Montiour.

126
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,600
So he's got a bit of a title thing going.

127
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,600
It's like a German car factory.

128
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,600
It does sound like something that's been yelled at me on a holiday.

129
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,600
If I can say that without getting cancelled.

130
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,600
Perhaps for saying that I'll in one go.

131
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,600
I know.

132
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,600
I practice that by the way.

133
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,600
So if you're new to Warhammer you're probably thinking what the hell is going on.

134
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:38,600
So Commander Farcite comes from the species of the Tau and you're probably thinking who are the Tau?

135
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:48,600
The Tau themselves are a Xenos race that hail from the Ultima segmentum within the Warhammer Unifer slash Milky Way galaxy.

136
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,600
About 6000 years ago in the 35th millennium.

137
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,600
So obviously we're set in 40k.

138
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,600
It was sort of first discovered by an Adeptus Mechanicus explorer fleet.

139
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,600
They found this I would say pretty crappy homeworld.

140
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,600
The homeworld of Tau.

141
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Funny enough that will come up again.

142
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,600
And they found this Xenos race and it was extremely primitive.

143
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,600
They were dull creatures.

144
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600
They were at like a Stone Age level supposedly.

145
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,600
They commented saying they'd only ever like mastered fire.

146
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,600
Some of us here obviously we're all Warhammer fans watching behind our comfy desks.

147
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,600
So maybe some of these Tau are a little bit more useful in the wild than some of us.

148
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,600
Not calling anyone out there.

149
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,600
Ignore that.

150
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,600
He's making fun of me because I die in the wild in 10 minutes.

151
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,600
There's no insulin plant, Barry.

152
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,600
His pancreas.

153
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,600
We have free insulin.

154
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600
All is covered by the greater good.

155
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,600
I thought we need the...

156
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Is everyone here seeing Hot Fuzz?

157
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,600
The greater good.

158
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,600
We just need that to come up every time.

159
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600
Everyone just has to say the greater good.

160
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,600
The old lady behind the check-in at the hotel just being like,

161
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:16,600
fascist and it's just the emperor just going, hag.

162
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Oh, that movie's good.

163
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,600
It has the guy who was the hound in Game of Thrones, didn't it?

164
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,600
But before he was like, Europe.

165
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,600
Oh, it says him?

166
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,600
How do you know?

167
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,600
It's got Bill Bailey in it as a twin.

168
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,600
It's great.

169
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Morning angle.

170
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Anyway, I should see this movie.

171
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,600
You haven't seen...

172
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,600
Oh, please.

173
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,600
Come on.

174
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Okay.

175
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,600
What do you think?

176
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600
I'm not going to move on from that because I'm just going to get upset.

177
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Let's move on.

178
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,600
That's what you get for a Xenos loving man.

179
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,600
So the Tal themselves were obviously with most of the way the

180
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Imperium works, it was about to get crunked immediately,

181
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,600
cleanse the way for humanity.

182
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
But no, this was not their fate because behind the scenes,

183
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,600
behind the warp storms, sorry, behind warp storms,

184
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,600
this kind of isolated home world would be trapped and only be until

185
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,600
the 41st millennium that the Imperium would,

186
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,600
unfortunately to Andes, just pure hatred,

187
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,600
they would discover a spacefaring Xenos race.

188
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,600
And for the Tal themselves, I mean, we often joke they're the cow men,

189
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,600
and we'll explain a little bit why.

190
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,600
The Tal themselves are actually a multi-species caste system.

191
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,600
The actual ones that come from the home world of Tal themselves.

192
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,600
They do look kind of humanoid, I'd say.

193
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Some of them obviously are vastly different,

194
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,600
but today we'll be focusing on the Firecast,

195
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,600
which is the cast that Commander Farsight himself comes from.

196
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,600
You know, they breathe through that weird slit in their forehead.

197
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,600
That's what it does?

198
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Yuck.

199
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,600
They can breathe through it.

200
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,600
I did not know that.

201
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,600
Anyways, keep going.

202
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,600
It's like headbutting them, like choking them.

203
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Sorry, I don't know where I'm going with that.

204
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Moving on.

205
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,600
So the Tal themselves, they have many different species and subspecies,

206
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,600
but they mostly have some shared features, such as blue skin.

207
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,600
If you're imagining Blue Man Group, that's an old reference there now,

208
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
but they kind of look like Blue Man Group, but a lot of them.

209
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,600
They often have like hoofed feet.

210
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,600
I made a little, I guess, assumption that they probably definitely watch

211
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,600
Sword Art Online, like Colin.

212
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,600
I'm going to kick your ass.

213
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,600
He has seen it, by the way, people.

214
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Get him.

215
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Someone did put a comment.

216
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,600
Never seen Sword Art Online.

217
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Someone made a comment on a previous podcast episode,

218
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,600
like they said, stop talking about Sword Art Online

219
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,600
and come here for Sword Art Online.

220
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Shout out to you, Greg.

221
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,600
Of all the things to make fun of before, and there are many,

222
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,600
you choose one of the few weeb things I'm not into.

223
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,600
I know, but this is a weeb focus episode, so you're at home here.

224
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,600
So the Tal themselves, as I said a little bit there,

225
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,600
they are much a caste system, but the subspecies of the Tal

226
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,600
are very much isolated into all these classes,

227
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,600
and they have particular roles themselves.

228
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,600
So the Firecasts themselves are the Warrior class.

229
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,600
All of that change I put here when the Fire Nation attacked

230
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,600
because of the other Firecasts.

231
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,600
And the Firecasts themselves are a little bit taller

232
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,600
than some of the more stouter and shorter Earthcasts themselves.

233
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,600
They are a bit more muscular.

234
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:47,600
Definitely not as muscular as a human.

235
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,600
Even an average weeb could probably take one in a one on one fight.

236
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,600
You're saying that the Tal skip leg day. Of course they do.

237
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,600
They probably do.

238
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,600
They're pretty shared.

239
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,600
They are like, they do have...

240
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,600
A camp jungle fighter just like, you call them muscles.

241
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,600
They're both strength three on the tabletop, so it can go either way.

242
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,600
They're a little bit shorter. They're like Short Kings.

243
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Let's say my Short King Tal. And the Firecasts themselves,

244
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,600
they lived on the plains of Tal, and they're originally nomadic hunters, warriors.

245
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,600
They often fought between themselves. They're pretty aggressive.

246
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,600
And this was all, again, this all changed with the Tal species

247
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,600
when the mysterious Ethereal caste came and they united all of Tal

248
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,600
and turned it into this spacefaring Xenos race

249
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,600
that it's known for in the 41st millennium.

250
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,600
And this is where we get to perhaps the gigiest of chads,

251
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,600
if that's the right way of saying it.

252
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600
This is where we get Farsight.

253
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,600
And Farsight, I put here as a reference to beloved Colin.

254
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600
He's basically the arbiter from Halo.

255
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,600
You'll basically see why it kind of follows that story a little bit.

256
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,600
I don't know if that's... Is that right, Colin?

257
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,600
I mean, I can see some connections. There are...

258
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,600
Now that you mention it, I can see some connections.

259
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:18,600
However, Thel Vadim is at a whole other level of awesome than Farsight, I must say.

260
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,600
Well, hopefully we're going to change your opinion of that.

261
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,600
So Farsight himself was, of course, not born as the legend that he became.

262
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,600
He's originally just born as Shas or Shas-O.

263
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,600
Basically just saying he was born in the Tao-set world of Viola.

264
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,600
And what was special about this unique...

265
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,600
Well, not really unique, actually, but this fire warrior was that

266
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,600
he was a little bit of a cut above the rest.

267
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Obviously, he's Xenos. Sorry, Andy.

268
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Don't mean to... Not as good as humans, of course.

269
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Boo-boo. Terrible.

270
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,600
But what was unique about the fire-cast warrior that would become Farsight

271
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,600
was that he'd learned from his mistakes, which many of us do not do,

272
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,600
let's be honest with ourselves.

273
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,600
Definitely Xenos.

274
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:17,600
Definitely. So his ability to self-analyse and to improve was a cut above the rest.

275
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,600
And this led him to sort of gaining a meteoric rise through the fire-cast ranks.

276
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,600
And this obviously would come up, his ability to be a little bit better,

277
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,600
a bit stronger, to learn from his mistakes.

278
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:38,600
That would all come to be on display as we get to some of his more notable wars

279
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600
as he began to get older.

280
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,600
Unfortunately, Tao don't live as long as humans, but Farsight has...

281
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Let's say he's been around long enough and there are reasons why he lives so long.

282
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,600
So he kind of made a name for himself in the... Excuse me if I mispronounce this.

283
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,600
The Akashawashina War? Akashawana War?

284
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,600
Akunashcha. Akunashcha.

285
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,600
The Emu War of Australia.

286
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:09,600
If anyone's editing that, it has to put a picture of an emu. I'm so sorry.

287
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:16,600
This was kind of the Tao Empire's first true meeting with the Orc species.

288
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,600
As in this is the first time they actually had to fight on a scale they had never really experienced before.

289
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:29,600
And after many battles, the fire-cast warrior that would become Farsight,

290
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,600
he stood out from the crowd, shall we say. He became a symbol for the Tao forces.

291
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,600
And much of the ethereal cast, they actually allowed this to happen

292
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:48,600
because there's nothing as inspiring as a Tao man who crunk orcs beautifully, shall we say.

293
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,600
And what was also incredible about him was that his ability to obviously learn from his mistakes meant that

294
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:03,600
Farsight was one of the first to actually tree-write down how battle doctrine would be used to fight orcs

295
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,600
for even long after he is no longer with the Tao Empire.

296
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:16,600
And then some more notable things that happened to Commander Farsight as he grew older and he kept slaying, shall we say.

297
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,600
Yars Queen, he's on the runway.

298
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:27,600
So he was also involved in famously the Damocles Crusade, which was the first contact of the Tao Empire with the Imperium of Man.

299
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,600
Poo!

300
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,600
I know, I know, Poo. So sorry, Andy.

301
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,600
What's that row come and the white scars, baby?

302
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Everyone got bloodied in that one. We'll go into that a bit more later.

303
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,600
And this came out worse.

304
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Debatable. Debatable.

305
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,600
We'll see. We'll see. This is for the greater good, shall we say, the greater good.

306
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:59,600
And this was the first conflict where there was some tension between Farsight and the ethereal cast.

307
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,600
And this will be a big theme generally throughout his story.

308
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:12,600
And there's actually many events that happened in the Damocles Crusade and Damocles Gulf, which is a location near the Tao homeworld.

309
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,600
But we'll get more into that later.

310
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:23,600
And this kind of accumulated and this kind of tension between Farsight and the ethereals led to the incident at Arthus Moloch,

311
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,600
which was the genesis of much of what happened in his story.

312
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:34,600
And it was on the world of Arthus Moloch. There was some orcs involved. It was a bit spicy.

313
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:41,600
There had been fights with the Imperium. Farsight was obviously just absolutely crushing it.

314
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:47,600
And this is where they eventually would find demons would emerge on this world.

315
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,600
And the Tao themselves are a very ignorant race. So this was just not expected.

316
00:22:52,600 --> 00:23:00,600
It ended up killing all of the ethereals on this expedition. And this is also kind of, yes, everyone, it's more Xenosh death.

317
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:08,600
And this was where Farsight found his iconic blade. If anyone has seen the model of him, he has that gorgeous dawn blade.

318
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600
We'll get more into that later.

319
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:20,600
And this also led to the famous breaking away from Tao society with Farsight kind of rejecting the overlordship of the ethereal cast,

320
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:26,600
which led to the birth of the Farsight Enclairs, which I guess they're kind of the good guys.

321
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,600
I don't know what everyone else thinks maybe about them. They're kind of the better...

322
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Go ahead, Colin.

323
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,600
So probably about as close as he can get to in this setting, because Farsight doesn't really do anything.

324
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:46,600
He's not a warmonger. He doesn't seek to conquer. He just kind of sits in his corner and says, just leave me alone. It's all I want.

325
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,600
He's been getting a little sus lately, but we'll talk about that in the future.

326
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,600
May I make an observation about what you just said?

327
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,600
Go ahead.

328
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,600
So you said he found a sword that was not made by the Tao, and then he left the Tao.

329
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:05,600
So what you're saying is Farsight is the coolest Tao by how much he rejects everything about the Tao and doing his own thing.

330
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,600
Amazing.

331
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,600
You could say that. That's definitely someone's opinion.

332
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:17,600
He's still aware that Tao Empire is very strong.

333
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
He's still believing in Tao.

334
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:25,600
He's a guy who goes away for university or college. He's come back a little different.

335
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Farsight's on a gap year is what you're saying.

336
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:33,600
Pretty much, yeah. He's grown his hair out. He's rocking like a tash for some reason.

337
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,600
It's the equivalent of getting dreadlocks done for the Tao. Yeah, it's a new look. Do you like it?

338
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,600
I just really found myself. Oh my God.

339
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,600
He's been in a bit of a role, shall we say.

340
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:52,600
With the breaking away from main Tao society and his rejection of the ethereal caste, this is the birth of the Farsight enclave,

341
00:24:52,600 --> 00:25:01,600
which is ruled essentially by Commander Farsight and I guess like a ruling elite, it sounds really bad.

342
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:07,600
But it's different from the Tao Empire and we'll get more into its uniqueness, shall we say.

343
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,600
And this has completely avoided any sway or influence from the ethereal caste.

344
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,600
And it's still following the greater good, as Eli mentioned,

345
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:26,600
but it's a unique faction that we'll be talking a bit more and a bit more in depth about him as we progress into the expert section.

346
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:35,600
Does anyone have any questions before we move on or any kind of thoughts other than Xenos hate, Andy?

347
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,600
Well, not anymore. Now you've said that.

348
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Fair day. He's like, I'm doing my thing. Tough crowd.

349
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,600
I was going to ask how many Tao does it take to change it, but now you've said that. OK.

350
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,600
All of them. They all work together.

351
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,600
All at once for the greater good.

352
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,600
Change the bright bulb for the greater good. The greater good.

353
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,600
So now I'll pass over to Eli to talk about something.

354
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,600
Eli loves his Xenos for anyone who's kind of new.

355
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,600
Oh, you could say was it?

356
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,600
I love hate relationship with Xenos.

357
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,600
I do like the Tao. I do like Tao and I love hate the Eldar.

358
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600
And you don't love him as much as Necrons.

359
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Oh, I love Gene Steelies. That's true. I'm a hypocrite. I love Gene Steelies.

360
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,600
So we'll say the true emperor. Don't worry about it.

361
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,600
No four armed emperor today, unfortunately.

362
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,600
And actually I really like Necrons. So you just don't listen to me.

363
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:27,600
I just love his heresy.

364
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Necrons are the true rulers of the galaxy.

365
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,600
I love this Xenos. I love this. I love chaos. It's like anything that's like heretical.

366
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,600
I love it. Everything is alive.

367
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
I just love Warhammer. I don't want to tell you.

368
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,600
I like the funny tabletop guys. What can I say?

369
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,600
I have a hard time hating on any specific faction. I just like it too much.

370
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,600
Unless they're... Oh, who's the dwarves now? What are they called?

371
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Vulture? Yeah. I don't want to talk.

372
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,600
I'm more disappointed that they made a new faction before updating all of the old ones.

373
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,600
Plastic Phoenix Lords. Give me my plastic Phoenix Lords.

374
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,600
Oh no!

375
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,600
Can you talk about what?

376
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaking of Tau, I'll pass over to Eli to helm our expert section as we talk about Commander Farsight.

377
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,600
Take it away.

378
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:24,600
Yeah. All right. Farsight is probably top three favorite characters in all of Warhammer for me.

379
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Maybe top five. It's hard to say. I like Warhammer too much.

380
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:34,600
I will apologize to the viewers because in order for this episode to not be three hours,

381
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,600
we kind of have to skim through things kind of quickly, but I'm going to try my best to be detailed.

382
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,600
Farsight is one of the three Tau that you're allowed to like without being a weeb.

383
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,600
Otherwise, I got bad news for you.

384
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:56,600
If you can like Farsight, you can like Anshi, and you can like Kace. That's it.

385
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,600
The other ones are just they're cringe, bro. I don't know what to tell you.

386
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,600
Mummy's Shadow Sun.

387
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,600
Are you a Dark Strider fan?

388
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:08,600
I was going to say Shadow Sun is the one I get like occasionally hear about. I'm like, oh, cringe. Shadow Sun.

389
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,600
She can be kind of cool. Anshi is Jim Burrow with Uriel who fights in close combat.

390
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,600
And Kace is just like the most OP character in all of Warhammer.

391
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600
He's Doomguy just blue.

392
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Yeah. You should read Fire Warrior if you haven't. It's a really old book, but I love it.

393
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,600
He sold those like entire space marine squads and stuff. He's ridiculous.

394
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,600
He's so he's too epic. But we're not talking about him today.

395
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,600
We'll talk about him in the future maybe if I am lucky enough to.

396
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,600
Provigandor against the great impair of the man is rubbish.

397
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:47,600
So Sho or Shova, I guess, first name was born on Viola, which is basically Cad-Chan but for Tau,

398
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:56,600
except Cad-Chan for Tau is like one fiftieth of what Cad-Chan actually is, I guess, because you know, Cad-Chan is a lot cooler than Tau.

399
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,600
I'm not going to lie. But the Orleans are famous for their hot bloodedness.

400
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,600
They're martial pride to fire cast planet. They're very speedy, great warriors.

401
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,600
It's very hot there. The weather is pretty intense.

402
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,600
And every two years it goes through a trial by fire, which is a very big fire cast thing.

403
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600
And there's like plasma storms and stuff.

404
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,600
They're very famous for their anger, which farsights anger burns very bright.

405
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,600
It's one of his biggest flaws probably, but also a big strength, I guess you could say.

406
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,600
He has a pretty classic prodigy backstory.

407
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,600
You know, he's started training the moment he could walk like every fire cast warrior.

408
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,600
He starts his training early, three years early to be exact.

409
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:43,600
He becomes known amongst his peers very quickly and he games the nickname Sho, which means inner light.

410
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,600
It's a classic prodigy story. Nothing overly fancy.

411
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:55,600
Top of his class, gets in trouble with the instructors because he's unorthodox and kind of wacky, etc.

412
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,600
But he graduates under Pyrrhotide.

413
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,600
Pyrrhotide doesn't teach them, but Pyrrhotide oversees their training.

414
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Pyrrhotide is a famous Tau commander who was part of the second Sphere expansion, if I remember correctly.

415
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,600
He's basically just Tau Sun-Zhu, Sun-Zhu, whatever you say that.

416
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Is this kind of like...

417
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,600
Art of War guy.

418
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:23,600
Is this like he's like farsights like Zuko and he's like the Pyrrhotide's like Uncle Iroh?

419
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,600
I guess, kind of.

420
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,600
He's a bit...

421
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:27,600
Kind of.

422
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,600
There's no Ang yet, but that's how I kind of see it.

423
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,600
Pyrrhotide wrote the Tau Art of War. Let's just say that.

424
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:45,600
Anyways, you know, next after graduating from the Baby Firecast, you join the Regular Firecast and you serve for four years as a Shaz-La, if I have that correct.

425
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,600
A La-Rank.

426
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,600
Which is just basic foot soldier.

427
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:56,600
And Farsight quickly proves himself to be very efficient and good at his job.

428
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,600
Everyone's crazy about him.

429
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:04,600
He surprises everyone because he fights so close up and he's so fast.

430
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,600
He's always fast to take the advantage whenever possible.

431
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,600
And his skill with a pulse rifle in close range is like insane and never seen before.

432
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:18,600
So his Overseers and other higher-ups start placing him in the like thickest fighting and the most dangerous war zones to kind of test him.

433
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,600
And he starts leading his squad basically, even though he's not a Shaz-We yet.

434
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:32,600
Eventually, you know, fighting, blah blah blah, goes to his first trial of fire, which is the Firecast way of promotion basically.

435
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,600
You have to go through this test and if you pass it, you get promoted.

436
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,600
Of course, the test is pretty intense and violent.

437
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:46,600
And his Overseers, once again, maybe the ones in the past who are a little salty that he passed their tests so easily and he outsmarted them all the time.

438
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:54,600
They put him in a simulation in which the simulation he sacrifices himself and in order to pass the test, he has to die.

439
00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:01,600
And his squadmates who also died would pass the test and those who didn't sacrifice themselves did not pass the test.

440
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,600
He was also a thing in his training.

441
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:12,600
He was popular for getting around all of his teachers' tricks and he would basically try to see into their minds.

442
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,600
He would think of all the tricks that he would place as a teacher and then plan accordingly.

443
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,600
And I guess he's one of the only intuitive Tao to exist if he's the only guy doing that.

444
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:28,600
The only intuitive Tao, Christ alive.

445
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:34,600
So then he gets promoted to Wii rank or yeah, yeah, yeah.

446
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,600
Give him a Nintendo Wii? What?

447
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,600
I thought it said no weebs, right? No weebs in this story.

448
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:53,600
But aside from that, he eventually gets the honor of donning the hero's mantle, which is a battle suit.

449
00:32:53,600 --> 00:33:02,600
And in order to kind of get him to put himself under control, get his temper under control and his violence under control,

450
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:08,600
they put him in the broadside teams, which he's quite disappointed about when he first shows up for duty.

451
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:14,600
And he's put with this fellow named Obletai, who becomes one of his best friends in the future.

452
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,600
Obletai is just like this veteran Chaz Vray, if I have that correct.

453
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Chaz Vray or I don't think he's a Chaz though. I think he's a Chaz Vray.

454
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:30,600
And so basically he teaches Sho how to be patient and fight at a long range and not be crazy.

455
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,600
Sho's him the ropes.

456
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:40,600
Sho gets the nickname of Young Executioner in this time as he's just massacring things with his big gun.

457
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:48,600
He hates being in the broadside though, because as one of the broadside, you stay in the back while younger,

458
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:54,600
less experienced, less equipped warriors do all the hard work for you basically and you're just a support role.

459
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,600
So it kind of hurt him a lot to do that.

460
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,600
So then we move on to the Arachan War, which I guess was part of his training with Obletai as well.

461
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:11,600
But he gets promoted to a...whatever the bodyguard rank is. I guess he's probably a Chaz Vray at this point.

462
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,600
He's a bodyguard to Commander Dawnstone, and he's just too good.

463
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:24,600
So they put him through another trial by fire so that he can become a Chaz...it might be Chazel, something like that.

464
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:33,600
But they put him through another trial by fire, and this time they're returning from this fight on the ship.

465
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,600
And the ship is invaded by Arachan Skitterlings, which are like Ripper Swarms basically for tier noobs.

466
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:47,600
And Sho puts his body in the way of the door and holds off the Skitterlings and is like eaten alive and goes through this horribly painful death.

467
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,600
But it's all faked again, as Tau Simulations are crazy.

468
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:57,600
And he gets promoted again because he did his job so well. They were testing him and he was a good job.

469
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,600
So now he's a commander in training.

470
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,600
I have to say by the way, Tau VR chat is really different.

471
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,600
It's a little intense.

472
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,600
It reminds me of...I've only ever seen a clip of it where a guy is just saying in a VR chat room,

473
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:17,600
Wow, my granddad stormed the beaches of Normandy and I'm here in VR chat. Oh Christ.

474
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:23,600
In this time, him and Commander Dawnstone launch some really good Maut'Ka strikes.

475
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Maut'Ka is Firesight's favorite way of war that he later learns to master under Commander Puretide.

476
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,600
And I guess put into his name because he's so good at it.

477
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Maut'Ka is basically like a spearhead strike, kind of like what the Black Legion does.

478
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,600
Teleport strike, kill the enemy leader in one swift stroke.

479
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:47,600
And hopefully things go right because if they don't, then you have to run away or you die basically.

480
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,600
But he's very good at it. Very swift. Very fast.

481
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,600
So he does that for a while.

482
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,600
And then he goes and trains with Commander Puretide.

483
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:02,600
He climbs up Mount Kanji, goes through a whole lot of trials there, and he trains with Shaz.

484
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,600
Shazera, Commander Shadow Sun. That's who that is.

485
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,600
And Case. They become friends for the most part.

486
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,600
Case and Shaz are both kind of like...I don't know.

487
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,600
They're both very quiet individuals and they're both kind of crazy, especially Case.

488
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,600
He doesn't even see himself as a living being anymore. He's just a weapon.

489
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:31,600
But Case masters the way of Maut's...oh my gosh, forgot the name. Feels bad, man.

490
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,600
He's the one-man army, whichever one that was when it was called.

491
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,600
I unfortunately forgot what it was, apparently.

492
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,600
Starts with the Mauts, though.

493
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,600
Monat, Monat. That's what it is.

494
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:47,600
Shadow Sun masters Khaoyan, which is the way of the patient hunter.

495
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,600
And this is basically what it says.

496
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,600
You lay in wait when the enemy comes. You jump out and you kill them.

497
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:01,600
It's very patient. It's very less casualty-inducing than something like Maut's Kha.

498
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,600
So they've ripped off the Raven Guard.

499
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:10,600
It's just like regular strategies that you would think of, but they're just put into Tau words.

500
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,600
There's a lot of Tau words that I don't know. You have to forgive me. I speak English, not Tau.

501
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:23,600
As we all know, the Raven Guard invented the concept of stealth. No one figured it out before them.

502
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:29,600
So Farsight becomes a master of Maut Kha under Pyrtae's tutelage.

503
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,600
And he gets sent off, basically.

504
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:38,600
Unfortunately, Shadow Sun and Kays get put into stasis.

505
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,600
But I guess, let's see, I believe the...

506
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,600
I'm trying to remember if the Damocles Crusade happens with them.

507
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Yeah, it does. It totally does. Anyways, sorry.

508
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,600
So we go to Arconashia.

509
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,600
Arconashia is this wacky rust planet with rust storms that are seemingly like...

510
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,600
There's murmurs that these rust storms are sentient, almost.

511
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,600
The Aetherials, of course, say no to that. That's just ridiculous.

512
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,600
And superstition is wrong. There's no gods.

513
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,600
There's a whole emperor to Horus spiel. We all know how that went.

514
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:19,600
Yeah, and they couldn't elect one person. They're like, right, we're all going to just have seven of them go, yeah, yeah, gods.

515
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:29,600
Spoiler alert, the Farsight Rebellion is basically... it happens for the same reason of the Horus heresy, almost.

516
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,600
As they just told them about chaos, it probably wouldn't have happened.

517
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:42,600
As a slight aside as well, just for if someone is new to Warhammer, the Tau themselves, when they had their caste system, we've briefly touched on it.

518
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:53,600
The Aetherial castes are the ruling caste, and they're very much just... the way Tau society works is you just follow your set path.

519
00:38:53,600 --> 00:39:01,600
Correct me if I'm wrong, Eli, isn't it? Their name, even Farsight's name, is literally just the job he does.

520
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:08,600
And if someone's saying, my name is where I live, so someone's like, I am London cleaner.

521
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,600
I am Norwich broom sweeper.

522
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,600
Yeah, it is like that. Norwich broom sweeper.

523
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,600
I'm not going to lie.

524
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,600
I mean, to be fair, how many medieval peasants were named Smith?

525
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,600
Oh, it's true, to be fair.

526
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:26,600
Is there an equivalent in Halo, Colin, of like... because I'm not as familiar, but it's like...

527
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:32,600
There's a slight hint of what's meant to be a communist influence.

528
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:44,600
I don't know, off the top of my head, I don't believe there's anything super similar, although the elites, they do add the suffix E to their names once they join the military.

529
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:51,600
So the Arbiter's name is Thelvedom, but when he joins the military, he's Thelvedome.

530
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:57,600
That's kind of cool. He's voiced by Keith David, who is amazing in community.

531
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:04,600
The Covenant and the Tower are basically the same thing.

532
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,600
I mean, the Covenant are a little bit more cooler.

533
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:14,600
And the Space Marine's activating grump birthday party when they go to fight the Tau.

534
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:21,600
Basically, they're conglomerate of Xenos, just like the Covenant, and the prophets are like literally copy paste Ethereals.

535
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,600
I mean, I guess other way around.

536
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,600
The Ethereals aren't questioned at all, though, in Tau society.

537
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,600
They have absolute authority.

538
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:38,600
And questioning the Ethereals is unheard of, and Farsight does it more than once before he becomes a traitor.

539
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,600
Because he's such a hothead.

540
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,600
The Ethereals...

541
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,600
Oh, sorry.

542
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,600
Oh, you first.

543
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:53,600
I was just going to say, I don't know if I'm jumping the gun, but I've heard possibly propaganda that they have like a pheromone or something that they use to control the populace.

544
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,600
Still like unconfirmed, technically, I think.

545
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:02,600
More or less what I was going to say, they smell so good that they mind control everyone.

546
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,600
They distribute links Africa to all these essence.

547
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,600
Axe body spray for Americans.

548
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,600
I was going to say, yeah, they've got the perfect Axe body spray.

549
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,600
Right, we're going to off to war, get the Axe out.

550
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,600
That's how they counter the mind control.

551
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,600
They bombard the planet with Axe bombs.

552
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,600
Okay, so where was I?

553
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,600
Arkunasha, or to the Orcs, they call it Orkunasha, I'm pretty sure.

554
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,600
Oh, come on, Orcs.

555
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:33,600
I love Orcs, to be fair.

556
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,600
They're such good relief, comic relief.

557
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:44,600
I could not find my Farisite Enclave supplement book, so I couldn't read the whole conflict, which I was really sad about because it has cool lore.

558
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:51,600
But basically, from what I remember, the Tau people are all in domes because you can't really survive outside.

559
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,600
Otherwise, you just live in a mad Maxwell world and you breathe dust and you die.

560
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,600
And there's sentience rust storms all around.

561
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,600
And now there's Orcs on Arkunasha and they're overrunning the place and they're like slaughtering Tau.

562
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:09,600
And Farisite shows up and becomes the hero of Arkunasha, which is one of his titles, one of his names.

563
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,600
And I believe this is also where he gets the name Farisite, if I remember correctly,

564
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:19,600
because he becomes famous for reading the enemy and knowing what they're going to do before it happens

565
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,600
and counter-attacking them before they even know what they're going to do.

566
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,600
He's Jotaro, or whatever, one of them.

567
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,600
The guy who says, and now you'll say, yeah, Joseph.

568
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:30,600
That's Joseph.

569
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,600
Joseph, the best one.

570
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,600
Yeah, he's Joseph Jostar.

571
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,600
Marshall the Joske.

572
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:43,600
He literally fights battles where it's like 100 to 1, 1000 to 1, like insane odds.

573
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,600
And he wins all the time, but it's still like a grinding, horrible war.

574
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:56,600
And he's there for 10 Tau Seer, which is basically 10 human years, which is like one sixth of a Tau's life.

575
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,600
They only live to like 60, 70-ish.

576
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,600
They have a pretty low lifespan.

577
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,600
They can get surgery similar to Imperials.

578
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,600
They can't be like immortal though, like the Imperial surgeries can.

579
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,600
They'll probably die eventually.

580
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:19,600
I'm just imagining a custodian looking at him, just doing that meme where it just says, pathetic.

581
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,600
He has some really epic battles on Arkunasha.

582
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,600
We won't talk about them today in detail, unfortunately.

583
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,600
But yeah, Farisite is freaking so cool.

584
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,600
If you somehow magically get the chance to pick up the old Farisite Enclave supplement book, you should.

585
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,600
But I mean, I'd be surprised if you could.

586
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,600
I'm just really bad at pirating things, so I couldn't find it.

587
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,600
We don't endorse that on all crimes.

588
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,600
I'm just saying that now before we get in trouble.

589
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,600
We are redacting that statement.

590
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,600
We buy all of our Warhammer books.

591
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,600
I actually buy surprising amount, I'm not gonna lie.

592
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,600
Because I'm technologically illiterate.

593
00:43:54,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Listen, a criminal came into Eli's house and downloaded all of these free Warhammer torrents.

594
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,600
And Sword Art Online.

595
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,600
I'm gonna be in...

596
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,600
Three weeks from the date of this recording, Hal, I'm gonna be in England.

597
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,600
I'm gonna come kick your ass.

598
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,600
I'm gonna film it.

599
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,600
Now, if I remember correctly as well, here Farisite also...

600
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:25,600
Farisite invents the way of the Short Blade or the way of the Broken Sword.

601
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:26,600
Those are two different things.

602
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,600
I think Monk calls the way of the Short Blade and then Farisite creates the way of the Broken Sword.

603
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,600
Which is basically just fighting more than 100 meters away from your enemy.

604
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,600
Whoa, crazy, crazy, don't do that bro, you can't do that around here.

605
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,600
To be honest, when you said the way of the Broken Sword, I thought you were gonna say...

606
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:48,600
And then you have to go into a room and you have to find lots of disparate items and then see what you can combine to solve a puzzle.

607
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,600
But that's a very obscure reference to an old game.

608
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,600
Most notably though, Farisite makes the Book of the Beast.

609
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:02,600
Which is very sus by Tao standards, because you're not allowed to write if you're in the Firecast or play with LEGO.

610
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,600
Or...

611
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:05,600
Or read.

612
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,600
Yeah, or read.

613
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,600
You're all illiterate, you have guns.

614
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:15,600
When Omgwa catches the baby Firecast playing with Mega Bloks, he sends in the drones your way.

615
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,600
Oh my god.

616
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:23,600
Is this literally the meme of like, back when you were all reading, I was studying the blade?

617
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,600
Yeah, it's called Vashjial, which means between spheres.

618
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,600
And so Farisite starts getting allegations of being Vashjial.

619
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,600
Because if you do something else outside of your cast, they don't like it.

620
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,600
Imagine, like...

621
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:45,600
There's like in a high school, you know, you got like the Earthcast and like some mechanic is studying for an awesome test.

622
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,600
And then Farisite comes and pushes them in the lockers.

623
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Doing nerds reading.

624
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,600
Dumps their head in the toilet and you see the other one coming out of their weird nose.

625
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,600
So Farisite in this Book of the Beast, he decipher the Orc language.

626
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,600
Even more sus, you can't just do that.

627
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,600
You can't do the Watercast job or else whack.

628
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:10,600
Otherwise we'll return to the Mont Tao and everyone's gonna kill each other again and we're all gonna die.

629
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Oh yeah, so basically in the Tao's past, they were all killing each other because they were so...

630
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,600
The cast are so different than the Ethereals came from nowhere and fixed everything overnight magically.

631
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,600
You know, it's not vicious at all.

632
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,600
With the brilliant idea of how about you don't stab each other just for five minutes.

633
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:33,600
Yeah, basically the Firecast and the Earthcast were killing everyone.

634
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Because the Firecast were the only guys who could lift a rock and the Earthcast were the only guys who could put two sticks together.

635
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,600
So naturally the Watercast...

636
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,600
The Diplomatic...

637
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:50,600
The really good Diplomats and the really good Airplane Flyers weren't so great when there was no Airplanes to fly and no Diplomacy to be had.

638
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,600
So the Ethereals fixed it and now you're not allowed to do anything that your cast wouldn't normally do.

639
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,600
So don't play Airplane, because they're on to us, they're literally gonna kill you.

640
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:06,600
So he makes the Book of the Beast, which yeah, he gets allegations of Vashjafor, but it's basically...

641
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,600
I don't know, it's really huge. It makes them understand the orcs.

642
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,600
At least the orcs they fight on Arkunashah.

643
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:18,600
They're in for a bit of a nasty surprise when they find the cunningly brutal orcs instead of the brutally cunning orcs.

644
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,600
Because they only understand the brutally cunning orcs right now.

645
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:27,600
He also discovers that the biggest orcs are the leaders, so they start killing the biggest orcs.

646
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,600
Yeah, they win on Arkunashah.

647
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:37,600
Or sorry, they don't. Fawcite doesn't win. He actually gets cut pretty hard. Pardon the language, I guess.

648
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:43,600
He dons the red armor though, that's where the red armor comes from, is Arkunashah, because it's a red rust planet.

649
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,600
So he dons the armor.

650
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:56,600
In the book, him and Brightsword and Bravestorm who become part of the Aelita, and I think Oblatai, they're all chilling on a hill.

651
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:08,600
And it's the climax of the war, and the war can be tipped with the balance of one hunter cadre, which is like a formation of units of warriors for the fire cast.

652
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:19,600
And they're waiting these reinforcements, and this orca drops down, and Fawcite's like, alright, you can fit a few units of crisis battle suit to a couple commanders.

653
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,600
And that's all he needs to win this war that he's been fighting ten years for.

654
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:30,600
And unfortunately, all that comes out of the orca is Gigachad, Anshi, and with his two ethereal guards.

655
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:36,600
And Anshi's the only ethereal that Fawcite really ever has a connection with.

656
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:41,600
And he like, he's a real one, basically, Fawcite says. He can tell that he's genuine.

657
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:46,600
And that even when he's delivering bad news, his smile makes it all better, and he's a nice guy.

658
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:52,600
He also, he fights orcs 1v1 in close combat, which is frickin' epic.

659
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:59,600
Yeah, he basically comes to Fawcite, and he says, there's gonna be no reinforcements, and it's time to go.

660
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:05,600
Sucks, bro. And that's it. No one knew how to say no to the ethereals at this point.

661
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:15,600
So they all leave the war, and unfortunately for them, if you leave orcs, you know, the orcs just come back and repopulate really quickly.

662
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:23,600
The fire cast does come back to Arkunashah and wins though, which perhaps proves Fawcite's point correctly that they could have just won then and there with some reinforcements.

663
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:32,600
And this is the first time of a bit of a pattern that the ethereals don't give reinforcements to Fawcite, but it gets a lot worse in the future.

664
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:43,600
So he comes back from Arkunashah, and bam, the imperials are there now, because the goofy Tau expanded a little too far into the Damocles Gulf,

665
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:53,600
and took some imperials planets. Yeah, they took some lightly defended imperial planets, and the Scarlords and the Ultramarines, if I have that correctly,

666
00:49:53,600 --> 00:50:03,600
were sent to go dispatch the Tau and kill them, and they steamroll the first few planets, and then they come to a grinding halt at Dalith, one of the core sept worlds.

667
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:16,600
Fawcite and Shadow Sun battle the imperials here, and Fawcite kind of baffles them because the Tau fight at long range, and now all of a sudden this guy is fighting at short range, and he's really fast.

668
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:28,600
What the heck do we do about that? So he fights a real good war against the imperials, and technically the Tau win. Technically!

669
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:38,600
But it's only because I-fleet, Leviathan or Behemoth or whatever, Tyranid Highfleet, entered the galaxy and was going towards the Imperium,

670
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:44,600
and so the Ultramarines and Scarlords have more important things to do. They have bigger fish to fry.

671
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,600
They got an assist. That's all they got. Just five points instead of a full ten.

672
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:58,600
So they negotiate a peaceful retreat, and the Watercast tells everyone that, hey, we won! Woo!

673
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:08,600
But in reality, the Imperium was very close to breaking Dalith, and if they broke Dalith, because it was a war of attrition and the Imperium doesn't lose wars of attrition,

674
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:13,600
then they probably could have just gone into the Tau Empire and literally destroyed all of it.

675
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:20,600
So they were probably like, oh, how many people can we send? Like ten. Oh, that'll do. We can't spend two. We've got more important wars to fight.

676
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:25,600
We'll just send this many. Oh, is it a bit of a pain? We'll come back later. It's fine.

677
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:35,600
So if the Tyranids didn't show up, the Tau Empire might not exist right now. Not gonna lie. Maybe not to that extreme of an extent, but I don't know.

678
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:47,600
Farseid has some epic battles, though, and they record all of them and they play Farseid's battle with his bros pretty consistently throughout all the town squares and stuff for like the next, well, forever, basically.

679
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:59,600
Farseid becomes like a complete hero and Shaz Shazera doesn't get much attention because obviously Kalyan strikes and whatever are a lot less flashy than Big Moth Ka'a.

680
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:09,600
One hundred battles he was descending from the sky to burn alive all the space marines and kill everybody. It's a little more morale boosting, I guess.

681
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Is that the meme with the guy who's got his arm around his girlfriend and what's the Shadow Sun one? Like his arm is around that girlfriend and he's looking behind and going, oh, and then it's like the Moth Ka'a, however.

682
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:37,600
And he's looking back at the other girl. Moth Ka'a is definitely a lot cooler and more Chad. Farseid actually values honor a lot more than other Tau because obviously Tau combat is not overly chivalric.

683
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:45,600
You just kill someone from three kilometers away and you're big cake. Oh no, they're fighting smart. Yeah.

684
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:58,600
A bunch of campers, cowards, fire up close. Come on. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Please run into range of my chainsword. I know you have a gun that can melt me from three miles away, but please don't use it. That's cringe.

685
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:16,600
But yeah, it's kind of even when you're reading the Tau books and you're like, oh, the Tau are cool. When they're talking about the Imperials, you almost want them to lose because the Tau think they're so great and like they're the best empire out there and no one can beat their might.

686
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:29,600
And the humans are so ignorant and like barbaric. But then they fight space Marines and it's like, oh, we're going to lose. There's nothing. And then they do lose. Yeah.

687
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:43,600
The Gweraan Shah is what they call space Marines and they're pretty scared of them. But like I said, Farseid and Shadow Sun successfully fend off the first Damocles crusade.

688
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:55,600
I don't remember what Cais is doing. Unfortunately, Cais has like two books and the first one is like 20 years old and the second one, he just shows up for a little bit and it's like kind of cringe.

689
00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:00,600
He shows up and it's cringe. Oh man.

690
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,600
He was on Carava fighting the Blood Ravens.

691
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:15,600
Yeah, he's in Dawn of War. I don't know if you can count Dawn of War, Lord, that well. I mean, you can. You can. It doesn't really fit Cais though because he's not really a commander.

692
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:24,600
I think they just wanted to put him in because he's in the first video game. But his way of war is literally the one man army. So like he's not much of a commander.

693
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,600
You send him in and then everything else disappears.

694
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:35,600
It's like sly Marble, isn't it? Of a Tao. Yeah, he is literally a sly Marble of Tao. That's a good way to put it.

695
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:42,600
In his recent book, though, he fights some Dark Angels and he just like loses. And it's like, what the heck? What was the point of that?

696
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,600
Oof. Yeah.

697
00:54:44,600 --> 00:55:01,600
Anywho, on Dilith, if I remember correctly, one of the Battlesuit bros, Monat as well, they have this like time stasis field and the chapter master of the Scarlords gets trapped in this time stasis field with this battlesuit.

698
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,600
And like, yeah, it's a cool little monument, I guess.

699
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:12,600
Scarlords want to come back someday and get him back, but I'm pretty sure the Scarlords are basically dead now because of what happens coming up here.

700
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,600
Sad for them, I suppose.

701
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:24,600
After Dan McCleese, though, they put Shadow Son and Kace to sleep, which is a field spaff of Farsight because they're his two only friends basically.

702
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:33,600
Well, the two that he can really relate to because Commander of Pyrrhotai's training is like an inhuman, you would like no one would ever understand the things that they went through except for each other.

703
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:42,600
I guess before they put them to sleep, they have this little council, though, and they call Farsight and his buddies. All to the, what's it called, elemental council.

704
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,600
Shadow Son is there. Kace is not because who knows what Kace is doing literally ever.

705
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:48,600
Yeah, no.

706
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:58,600
But they tell him basically that they're going to retake the Dan McCleese gulf that was taken away by the Imperials and they want Farsight to do it instead of Shadow Son.

707
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:06,600
And Shadow Son has more victories under her belt and she doesn't have the stain of defeat like Arkunasha.

708
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:12,600
And so she's pretty grumpy and Farsight even says, why not Shadow Son? And they just said, because I said so.

709
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:22,600
And in this part, we meet poor Malkor, which is a watercast fellow who is a little weird because he can't lie.

710
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:29,600
And the watercasts are all about lying because they're diplomats and politicians, so it's all they're good at.

711
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,600
So they give him the worst diplomat ever.

712
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:39,600
Yeah, so he only tells the blunt truth. But naturally, Farsight's into that. So he takes him along.

713
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:46,600
Unfortunately for, I don't remember her name, but poor Malkor's mentor.

714
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:54,600
Poor Malkor talks out in the elemental council and he basically tells them that the Aetherials want to get rid of Farsight.

715
00:56:54,600 --> 00:57:05,600
And he speaks out against the Aetherials. And him and his mentor get called to a summons and he doesn't show up because he's busy killing an Earthcast guy because he's insane.

716
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:10,600
Yo, what's going on, bro? Who is this guy?

717
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:16,600
He's, he's, he's, there's something about him that we'll talk about later.

718
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:29,600
I guess I'll come up pretty quickly. But his, this little scene where his mentor is talking with Anva, who's not Aetherial Supreme at the moment, becomes Aetherial Supreme later, he dies.

719
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,600
The Imperials kill him.

720
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:44,600
But at this point, Anva tells her to take out her bond knife, which is something most Tao have because they make bond mates with other people in their cast basically.

721
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:53,600
And it's like an unbreakable bond of brotherhood and sisterhood and stuff. And he says, take out your knife and kill yourself. And she does. And that's the end of her.

722
00:57:53,600 --> 00:58:01,600
And this is the first little showcase of the Aetherials kind of, you know, you don't question the Aetherials or you disappear forever.

723
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:09,600
And she did it because like, I think I remember this, like she does, does it with the knife, but then she, she's even conscious of doing it.

724
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,600
She always like her body moves by itself, doesn't it? It's really creepy.

725
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:23,600
Oh, I should also say, I forgot to mention after the Damocles crusade, the Aetherials commanded Ovasa, which is one of Farzai's buddies.

726
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:34,600
He's an Earthcast genius. He's, but he's kind of like the friend that you disagree with on everything, but you're still friends. Even though you like, he ticks you off all the time.

727
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:41,600
And he makes Farzai angry all the time. He like kind of like ignores. He misses the point a lot.

728
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:49,600
And in like sensitive situations, he was just kind of like, oh, like we lost five million, billion dudes in this experiment.

729
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:56,600
That's okay, because I made this experiment for the greater good. And then Farzai's like, bro, now you killed five million, billion people.

730
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,600
That's cringe, bro. And Ovasa doesn't really get it and he doesn't care.

731
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:12,600
But he's a genius and he also is kind of, what's the word, eccentric, like Farzai. So Farzai keeps him around. He's like his personal scientist almost.

732
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:21,600
Ovasa creates this thing called the Pure Tide Ingram chip, which has Pure Tide's brain on it. And you put it into commanders.

733
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:31,600
And it's basically like kind of like the Codex Astartes, but for the Tau. And now they have a chip in their brain that lets them adapt to any situation and kind of have Pure Tide's vision to take over.

734
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:40,600
I love that. Like, oh, like Codex Astartes is like, we made this high tech chip, blah, blah, blah. And Codex Astartes is like, a book will do.

735
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,600
Right. You just need a book. It seems like so complicated for the parallel.

736
00:59:45,600 --> 01:00:00,600
But this kind of lets them like, it kind of lets Pure Tide like, what's the word, possess them almost. Unfortunately, they can't really, there's some issues with the project and they can't really come back from the possession.

737
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:14,600
So the Ethereals order it to be removed. And in order for them to be removed, they have to be lobotomized and just become these grueling messes of Tau. Unfortunately, they are the blades of Pure Tide.

738
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,600
They're really cool. And then, you know, bad stuff happens.

739
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:34,600
But Shavastos, one of Farsight's friends who also becomes part of the Eighth Later, has this Pure Tide chip in him. And Farsight lies to Anva when he's supposed to be bringing Shavastos to be lobotomized.

740
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:40,600
And if I remember correctly, he basically like tells him that Shavastos was killed in duty.

741
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:52,600
And from Farsight's perspective, he claims that Anva knows that he lied to him. And like lying to an Ethereal's face is like, you die. Like it's a death sentence. It's unheard of.

742
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:59,600
And this is the first time he kind of lies to an Ethereal and it haunts him like forever. But he still does it and he saves his friend.

743
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:06,600
And Ovaeus is in on it too. And Ovaeus is okay with it, I guess, because he just wants to experiment on Shavastos because he's kind of crazy.

744
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:15,600
We do see Shavastos later. So he lies to Anva. That's a good detail to leave in, which is probably why they want him to go on the damn Luclis crusade.

745
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:23,600
Because they kind of just want to get rid of him and like go spend your last few fighting years fighting off the Imperials.

746
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:31,600
And then his last conversation with Pure Tide, he goes up for some wisdom. And Pure Tide tells him, don't trust them all.

747
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:42,600
Right after this, the Ethereals have Farsight bring up a little jellyfish mind device to put on Pure Tide so that they can trace his memory and make an AI out of him.

748
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:53,600
Because according to the Ethereals, he's not going to live for much longer, which confuses Farsight because he thinks, last time I saw him, he was old.

749
01:01:53,600 --> 01:02:02,600
But he was like, he's like that invigorated old where you're at, you know, what's the interstellar guy, you know, go into the light fighting or whatever.

750
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:11,600
I don't know the whole spiel. But he's in the winter of his years, but he has a long time ahead of him. So Farsight's a little confused about this.

751
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,600
He puts the jellyfish thing on his head and it basically kills Pure Tide, unfortunately.

752
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:24,600
It traces his memory and they make it almost perfect AI of him. But it does lead to his death. So this also haunts Farsight.

753
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:34,600
And this is a common theme where someone who doesn't trust the Ethereals or someone who wants to speak out against the Ethereals just disappears.

754
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:41,600
Who knows what happens to them? I don't know, they died of old age or, you know, poorly photoshopped footage of them dying on the battlefield or whatever.

755
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:48,600
So the Ethereals are basically 40K's version of Stalin. Does people disappear? They're like, oh, they're crossed off from pictures.

756
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:58,600
Basically. So now we're going to launch the Danithes Crusade and it's this gigantic gathering of all the castes.

757
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:03,600
There's like, the sky is blotted out by aircast ships. It's a really cool little thing.

758
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:08,600
Farsight gives a little speech and the weight on his shoulders is immense. He can't even like...

759
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:15,600
Farsight's a little worried at this point. He brings poor Mal'Kor along with him, which is good to remember.

760
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:26,600
And his personal pilot, Kor-O-Li-Mao-Tang, who's this really kindly old guy who's just a really good pilot, but he kind of is more a little important later.

761
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:38,600
They go out onto the expedition and Farsight stays awake for the journey, which most Tau don't, because Tau don't live very long and they don't have faster than light travel.

762
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:47,600
Because, I don't know, they can't travel in the warp, but they use Zed-A-Far engines. If you must say Zed instead of Zee, which they do in the book, so I'll say it.

763
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:54,600
I'm Canadian, so I should say Zed anyways. I'm a Zee fan, not going to lie.

764
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,600
Be better than you are, say Zee.

765
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,600
What do you mean, World War Zed? That film.

766
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:06,600
Alright, first of all, book.

767
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,600
Oh yeah, because you haven't seen films, have you?

768
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,600
I have seen the film and it was nothing like the book.

769
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,600
Of all the films to have seen as well, with your track record.

770
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:20,600
My dad wanted to see it, so we watched it, my grandma's, and it sure was a zombie movie.

771
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,600
And you haven't seen Short of the Dead before? Oh gosh.

772
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:29,600
I mean, I never said I didn't see it. I also very pointly didn't mention seeing it.

773
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:35,600
Far Asight stays up for the long haul. They call it like the...what do they call it?

774
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,600
The something of years, the price of years, something like that.

775
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:44,600
Which the aircast nobly takes, because obviously your pilots can't really go to sleep.

776
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,600
I mean, they kind of can't. Doesn't matter.

777
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,600
Poor Mal'Kor stays awake and kills another guy.

778
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:55,600
He's living his best life and he got bullied because he couldn't tell lies, so he kills this guy.

779
01:04:55,600 --> 01:05:00,600
He wakes him up in cryostasis and overloads him with stimulants and drugs.

780
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:07,600
And the guy bashes his head against this window until he explodes and dies and bleeds to death.

781
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:12,600
It's something. There's the Warhammer. There's the grimdart five.

782
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,600
There's the Warhammer we all know and love.

783
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:20,600
I will say Fire Warrior, the case book, is like a perfect Warhammer book.

784
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,600
We should say that. You should read it. It's a perfect grimdart, really gritty, bloody book.

785
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,600
You don't get that as much anymore. It feels like...

786
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,600
Is it still with the video game cover where he's like sat...

787
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,600
Oh yeah. It's only Pirate's Calls.

788
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:33,600
...he's nailed on a big pyramid of skulls.

789
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,600
Yeah. It's such a cool book.

790
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:41,600
To be fair, I read it when I was like 12 years old, so it might not be as good as I remember, but I like to think it is.

791
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,600
Anyways, we should probably keep talking about Far Asight.

792
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:50,600
I'm sorry, viewers, if you came for an hour and a half long episode, I have bad news. We're gonna be here for a while.

793
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:55,600
So on the...the Dawn Pioneer...

794
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,600
Wait, no, no, no. Is the Dawn Pioneer a Halo ship? Or am I right?

795
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,600
Pretty sure the Dawn Pioneer is the Flay ship that fires up at dawn.

796
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,600
Yeah, no, that's the Door of Mordem that's forward onto dawn.

797
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,600
Yeah, okay. So the Dawn Pioneer is the Tau ship.

798
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:19,600
Far Asight spends most of his time studying and talking a little bit with his psychic...this Inquisitor, who is a Biomancer.

799
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,600
The Tau don't know that, though.

800
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,600
She used to say Gwaevesa, which is a human helper.

801
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,600
Is that right? I think so.

802
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,600
But her name is Vikala Niv Harat.

803
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,600
It goes by...oh man.

804
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,600
Something Dalak. They call her Mistress Dalak.

805
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:44,600
She's an Inquisitor of the Ordo Zenos, and she's undercover kind of investigating the Tau.

806
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,600
So she's there. She talks with Far Asight a bit. She has, you know, the Tarot card on her forehead.

807
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,600
I didn't know how big the Emperor's Tarot was until recently.

808
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,600
I guess a lot of people take it really seriously. Makes sense.

809
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:01,600
But she's a cool little Psycher who hangs out with them and helps them understand some of the Imperial stuff.

810
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,600
She was on Dalith, and they captured her.

811
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:12,600
And being the silly Tau that they are, just assumed that these prisoners would be fine to take on as advisors.

812
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,600
And they have no ulterior motives whatsoever.

813
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:21,600
I mean, the Tau seem to have naivety as a character trait more than anything.

814
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,600
They're extremely naive.

815
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:30,600
I should say, poor Malkor, before this all happened, he was investigating an Imperial warp drive.

816
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:37,600
And he was there to translate the Imperial Ruins on it, because he translates foreign languages as his thing.

817
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:42,600
And he touches the warp drive by accident, and then he starts killing people all of a sudden.

818
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,600
And he cuts his tongue into two like a snake.

819
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,600
Ugh.

820
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:52,600
He's a fun little guy. Goofy little guy.

821
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:57,600
All of a sudden, oh no, the Scarwarch showed up, and they're gonna kill us all.

822
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:06,600
And they launch a boarding assault on the Dawn Pioneer, and I have a bit of a hard time understanding this part,

823
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:13,600
because the way it was worded, the Dawn Pioneer was like, hours ahead of the rest of the fleet.

824
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,600
For some reason. It's the flagship, which makes sense.

825
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:23,600
But they don't have time to get reinforcements to the Dawn Pioneer, because it's so far away from everyone else.

826
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,600
I don't really know why.

827
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,600
It's because Tau had terrible strategy, I suppose.

828
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,600
They shoot from the back, and they took that two literally with the space warfare.

829
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,600
They're like, we'll stay all the way back here.

830
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,600
I maybe just misunderstood something. I guess, I don't know.

831
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,600
Korol Lee Mountaing is flying the ship, though. No, he's in a Manta.

832
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:45,600
There's another pilot who's a little bit important, but we'll ignore him for now, I guess.

833
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:53,600
So the Scarward Lords show up with the Chapter Master with his command squad, launches a boarding assault on the Dawn Pioneer.

834
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:58,600
Unfortunately for the Tau, everyone is asleep, except for a few people.

835
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,600
Mainly Bravestorm and Oblitai.

836
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:08,600
Those are the only two guys of note who are awake, plus a few Firecast bros.

837
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:13,600
I guess we should say another character. There's a lot of characters.

838
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,600
Bravestorm on Dalith.

839
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:22,600
He 1v1s lots of Imperial tanks and stuff with an honor gorgonlet, which is just a power fist for a battlesuit.

840
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,600
They got some melee. They have a little bit of melee.

841
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:32,600
Him and Brightsword, which is a clone. Brightsword died in the battle against the Imperials originally.

842
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:39,600
Brightsword uses the fusion blades, which are fusion blasters, but they're always on, and their blades are melee weapons.

843
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,600
But Bravestorm is alive.

844
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,600
He was mortally wounded, though, and now he's basically in a dreadnought.

845
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:55,600
But for Tau, he's still alive in the current lore, so I assume it works like a regular dreadnought where he just lives forever.

846
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,600
If it's a Tau dreadnought, could you call it a Treadnought?

847
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,600
Yuck.

848
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:08,600
Bravestorm is this very noble, self-sacrifice kind of guy.

849
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:15,600
He has a huge hatred for the Imperials, so he gets kind of crazy when he fights them, and he's very headstrong.

850
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,600
Headstrong is a very common theme amongst Farsight and his buddies.

851
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:24,600
Bravestorm and Oblatai go to intercept the Imperials where they can, so they split up.

852
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:29,600
Bravestorm does a really good job at first, but then he gets his butt kicked by the Chaffee Master and some other guys.

853
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,600
As it should be, because they're space marines and they're in Terminator armor.

854
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:41,600
Oblatai does a good job for a while, but then he loses to a squad of space marines as well and uploads his consciousness into a stealth suit.

855
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,600
And he kills some other characters, goes back, whatever.

856
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,600
So he's a VTuber now.

857
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:53,600
Farsight was told by Ovesa that there's an experimental battle suit that he's working on prior.

858
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:59,600
And this experimental battle suit happened to be in the hangar, and Ovesa basically tricked him into using it as a test subject.

859
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:10,600
Ovesa's asleep right now, mind you. And Farsight gets a blip from poor Malkor, who conveniently knows about warp drives,

860
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:17,600
and that the Imperial ship came out of translation too quickly, and if Farsight damages the warp drive, it'll cripple the entire ship.

861
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:23,600
Farsight doesn't know how he knows this, but he trusts him, because he's blunt and he hasn't heard him lie yet.

862
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:30,600
So Farsight takes the experimental battle suit, which is a Coldstar battle suit, which is just on the tabletop, it's just really fast.

863
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:35,600
I don't know if it's the same anymore, but last edition you can move like 60 inches in one turn with it if you want to.

864
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,600
Shite. That's a lot.

865
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:50,600
Yeah. Farsight takes this battle suit, and he goes out into space to literally 1v1 the entire Imperial battle cruiser of the Scarlords, like their flagship.

866
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:58,600
He throws up to the ship, and Coldstar is an AI, and he eventually becomes friends with this AI, they have a little dynamic.

867
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:07,600
Excuse me. He times it correctly so that he can enter the ship through the gun hatch, or sorry, through a gun, like a cannon.

868
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,600
That was sick.

869
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:15,600
Yeah. He goes in there, he takes the burst cannon and like slaughters all the Imperial Navy men, poor guy.

870
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:23,600
And poor Mal'Kor also conveniently knows where exactly the warp drive is, and how to get to it.

871
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:34,600
So Farsight gets to it, he has to leave his battle suit, he has a bit of a tassel with these giant servitor things, and he gets them to kind of destroy the warp drive for him.

872
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:44,600
And then, oh, these wacky, spooky, weird Xenos creatures that look like they're made out of shadows and nightmares are all of a sudden appearing on the ship, and I don't know where these came from,

873
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:52,600
but there's definitely not another dimension, and demons don't exist, so it's just a weird Xenos race that's somehow here now.

874
01:12:52,600 --> 01:13:04,600
And it starts to invade the Scarlet ship, Farsight flees, gets a bit of a tassel with a Hell Drake, which has also appeared from the warp now, after the warp drives are damaged.

875
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:18,600
And then, while this is happening on the bridge of the Dawn Pioneer, not the bridge, just wherever the watercasts are, poor Mal'Kor showed up to kill another guy, and I think he actually does successfully, but space marines show up.

876
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:26,600
And poor Mal'Kor fends off the space marines with some real sus magic that Tau aren't supposed to have.

877
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:37,600
Yeah, I wonder where that's going. Mind science, they call it. It's so tilting. The Tau call psychic powers mind science, and it perplexes them every time, because they have no idea how they're doing it.

878
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,600
There's no logical explanation.

879
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:45,600
They're like, what are those things? They're just mind ghosts? Science ghosts? They're science ghosts. It's fine.

880
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,600
The true mind science is knowing how to do your taxes correctly.

881
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,600
Yeah.

882
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:56,600
Hardly a far shot from what the Emperor was saying. Yeah, true.

883
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:02,600
What are those things? Ah, they're aliens. Why do they keep appearing across the galaxy? Don't worry about it.

884
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,600
Fine, don't worry about it. You got a bolter. You'll be fine.

885
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:21,600
So, yeah, Farsight causes a demon incursion. And when he touches the warp drive, I'm pretty sure he touches it. He touches something and he gets this flash of a vision and he sees himself kind of as this melting statue.

886
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:39,600
And he sees Shadow Son pointing her gun at him with the intent to kill him and shattering him as a statue, which later does happen in the future after Farsight's betrayal is made public, even though it's not like...

887
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:47,600
His betrayal isn't really even a betrayal. He just doesn't come back home. And so the Aetherias are like, oh, he's a bad guy. We hate him now.

888
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,600
I mean, that is going AWOL.

889
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:57,600
Yeah, it's true. I don't even know if they expected him to come home though, because like, that's for later. Whatever.

890
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:06,600
So he has visions of the future and this odd symbol of a hexagrammaton, which he remembers for later, which comes in handy.

891
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:14,600
He leaves, obviously, fights with the Helldrake, survives. Li-Mao-Tang actually picks him up in his big manta, which is a cool little moment.

892
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:31,600
And while he's unconscious in this manta, because he was rendered unconscious and basically dead from the fight, the Aetherials... sorry, Epistolary, the Epistolary of the Scar Lords senses the warp breach on their ship and decides that there's nothing they can do about it.

893
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:41,600
So they have to abandon ship basically. So naturally, like a true Imperial, they set the ship for a ramming course to the Dawn Pioneer.

894
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:51,600
And the Dawn Pioneer cannot escape this because there's no time. I don't know, I think you can say whatever you want in space combat and it counts because it's technically never happened before.

895
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,600
Our ship's gonna bash.

896
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:58,600
Yeah. So I guess the Imperials go towards them and the Dawn Pioneer can't escape for whatever reason.

897
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:12,600
And the Aetherials have all the higher ranks evacuated from the Dawn Pioneer because the ship has the majority of the Tau fleet on it who are just sleeping.

898
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:22,600
They have everyone of We Rank, if I'm correct... yeah, that's correct. They have everyone of We Rank and higher evacuated, but not any of the basic troop ranks.

899
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:29,600
So how they still have manpower after this is kind of hard to tell, but they do, I guess it is said that they lose a third of their manpower in this.

900
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:39,600
When Farseid comes to, they've crossed the gulf. Everything's fine because, I mean, they did destroy the Imperial ship. The Scar Lords had to run away.

901
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:54,600
But Farseid discovers that the Aetherials commanded this evacuation and let thousands of Tau die and he was extremely angry and he publicly gets mad at the Aetherials and yells at them.

902
01:16:54,600 --> 01:17:05,600
It's unheard of and everyone's shocked and it's insane. It doesn't seem much to us, but I don't know what a good anthology would be.

903
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:11,600
Well, he's just like, oh, you can't criticize the Supreme Leader. How dare you? That's naughty.

904
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:17,600
Yeah, I guess if you were just some bro and you stood up and went to Kim Jong-un and told him that he's...

905
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:21,600
I was thinking, yeah, if you lived in North Korea and you were like, hang on a minute...

906
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:35,600
The Aetherials forgive him this one time, but they say if he does it again, then he'll be publicly exiled or executed, basically.

907
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:44,600
They also tell Farseid after killing a third of their fleet that there's no reinforcements on the way either.

908
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,600
Wow, that happened again?

909
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:52,600
Yeah. He has to make do with what they have because it makes a little bit of sense.

910
01:17:52,600 --> 01:18:03,600
It is almost fair because they Tau lost a ton of manpower in the Damocles crusade with the Imperium, obviously,

911
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:11,600
and the Aetherials already sent basically everything on this third sphere expansion, so they don't really want to commit anything else.

912
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:19,600
So Farseid has to make do with what he has, but it is enough through Farseid's wacky means, thinking outside the box.

913
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:25,600
They arrive on Viola, which is not Viola. It's Viola's sister planet, basically.

914
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:31,600
It's this world covered in volcanoes, and there's some jungle, and it's just really hot.

915
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:37,600
It's the energy breadbasket of the system, of the enclaves, is what they call it.

916
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:43,600
Perfect for the Imperials, who create these factories inside of the volcanoes, basically.

917
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:50,600
The Tau were enslaved on this planet, and every time they've tried to start an uprising, they fail.

918
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:58,600
There's little scenes where they have conveyor belts with Tau prisoners on them, and they're getting thrown into the lava,

919
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:02,600
basically becoming energy for the Imperial factory.

920
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:06,600
Sounds about right. Sounds efficient.

921
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:12,600
Obviously, Farseid's not too pleased about this.

922
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:17,600
They make planetfall on Viola, because I guess there's nothing keeping them from doing that.

923
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:23,600
I still don't understand how void warfare works, so maybe I'm just stupid.

924
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:31,600
But they make planetfall, and they meet up with Shadow Sun's pupil, Moata, who is master of Khaoyan.

925
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:36,600
We'll work well with Farseid, because Farseid's bad at it.

926
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:43,600
They work together in guerrilla warfare, destroying armored convoys and other such things where they can.

927
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,600
Then they assault the factories, and they have these big battles with the Ajmec.

928
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:55,600
The garrison on the planet still outnumbers the Tau, like 2 or 3 to 1, I'm pretty sure.

929
01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:04,600
They try to defeat them one time with a big, fast assault. Farseid's relying on these horribly impoverished...

930
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:09,600
The classic Imperial worker who's downtrodden and enslaved and has the worst life ever.

931
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:14,600
Farseid thinks if they launch a big Monte-Kha on one of these factories and start fighting,

932
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:19,600
that the factory workers will join them and have an uprising against their overseers.

933
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:28,600
Unfortunately, as they're fighting, the Imperial workers just keep working, even as they're getting gunned down and everything by the crossfire.

934
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:33,600
It's a very depressing sight for the sad dogs of the Imperium.

935
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,600
But hey, they're doing their due diligence.

936
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,600
They're doing their daily prayers, and they're doing a good job.

937
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:39,600
That's right.

938
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:45,600
But they fight the Ajmec and quickly find out that the Ajmec and Imperial guard have unlimited resources.

939
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:52,600
And even though they're creating mountains of bodies on the other side of the room, they're starting to lose the battle.

940
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,600
So they have to retreat for a while and think of a new plan.

941
01:20:54,600 --> 01:21:05,600
So Farseid decides to do some little Vashia stuff and works with Ovesa to come up with this plan to use these seismic fibrillator-type things

942
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:09,600
that will trigger volcanic eruptions all across the world.

943
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:15,600
This would basically render the world useless for the Imperials because all of their factories are in the volcanoes,

944
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:21,600
which the Tau are quick to criticize because it's inefficient and brutish and whatever.

945
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,600
And so they do this in a bit of a close battle.

946
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:31,600
Farseid and his team put the seismic fibrillators and have to defend them for a while.

947
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:38,600
And Epistulaire, whatever his name is, I forgot, the Psyker of the Scarlords, comes down and brings the command squad

948
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:42,600
and fights Farseid and his guys. And they almost win actually. They're really close to winning.

949
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:51,600
It's a nice little showing because sometimes the power scaling of Space Marines is so like inconsistent between authors.

950
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:57,600
And previously we kind of saw Battlesuit's wrecking house when it came to Space Marines.

951
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:03,600
But now that the command squad is here, they're kind of kicking butt and they're pushing back Farseid and his buddies.

952
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:09,600
And Farseid 1v1s this Psyker and the Psyker becomes, I don't know, like air, like water basically.

953
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,600
And all of Farseid's attacks are just passing through him and stuff.

954
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:16,600
While this is happening though, poor Mal'Kor is delivered. He works with poor Mal'Kor as well.

955
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:23,600
So again, this Vashjast stuff is working with the Watercast and he's working with Ovasa, the Earthcast, to get this done.

956
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:28,600
Poor Mal'Kor, they sneak into a broadcasting station basically.

957
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:33,600
And he causes an uprising with his blood's truths towards the workers.

958
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,600
They have an uprising going on which is helping them a lot now because that was the original plan.

959
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:44,600
And he's fighting this Psyker. He eventually kind of wins and he pushes him into the lava.

960
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,600
But the Psyker has this epic moment where he emerges from the flames.

961
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:52,600
He has this big giant flame avatar and he's like the Emperor's Angel and yada yada.

962
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:59,600
But then Nicola, the Psyker, and poor Mal'Kor with some, again, sus magic kind of neutralize him.

963
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:05,600
And the day is eventually won when the seismic fibrillators go off and the entire world erupts in magma.

964
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,600
Like doomsday basically.

965
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:12,600
And obviously all of the humans that they got to get into an uprising are instantly killed, but they don't care.

966
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,600
The Tiles don't actually care. You can join the Tiles if you want.

967
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,600
That's why you don't help the Xenos.

968
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:23,600
Yeah, join the greater good, bro. You definitely are not going to be castrated and enslaved and put on the front lines.

969
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:24,600
Definitely not.

970
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,600
Because the guard doesn't do that.

971
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,600
No, they certainly do.

972
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,600
This whole episode. Okay, go ahead, Undy, sorry. Go ahead.

973
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:37,600
I was just going to say you can tell that the Scar Lords weren't going to win though because when you look at their wiki page, they don't have like any designs.

974
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,600
You're a filler chapter.

975
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:48,600
I was going to say this whole episode though is basically like dunking on Andy's favorite and then suddenly being like, actually, we're just as bad.

976
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,600
It's like, oh God.

977
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:57,600
It's a thing. It's like they're chipping away at like a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a millionth of the Imperial war effort.

978
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,600
So it's all right. It's fine.

979
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:06,600
They killed a chapter with no logos. I don't care. Send the white scars.

980
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:14,600
Yeah, the Eli giving lore and then me and Andy taking pot shots over.

981
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,600
Yeah, it's our unfortunate because they fired off the Space Marines like, oh, it is so great.

982
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,600
We fought off the Imperium.

983
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:26,600
And but like the reality is they fought one chapter and out of like thousands of Space Marine chapters.

984
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:27,600
Yeah.

985
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:32,600
Is it true that the first Space Marine that they ever saw they fought was the Emperor?

986
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:37,600
I don't know. I think it was the first I think the first chapter master they killed.

987
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,600
Like, oh, we killed the Emperor.

988
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,600
Now you didn't.

989
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:43,600
I'm a Tao fan.

990
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,600
Not going to lie, but only kind of only kind of.

991
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,600
Yeah, you like them and then you read their books and they're so arrogant.

992
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,600
Like the LR at least have some base to be arrogance.

993
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,600
Like they have they can kind of have an actual empire.

994
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:02,600
The Tao Empire is great, but they can't see the bigger picture.

995
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,600
I can't believe Andy is saying that about the LR.

996
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:05,600
Oh, yeah.

997
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:06,600
Wow.

998
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,600
So some got past the internal sensors.

999
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:12,600
People in the chat need to remember this day.

1000
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:21,600
So the chapter master, the Scar Lord, sees that his command squad died, which is actually it feels bad kind of because they're cool.

1001
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:31,600
And he decides to order exterminatus classic because I mean, to be fair, the planet is useless now to them and the towers going to take it back.

1002
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:33,600
So he decides to order exterminatus.

1003
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:41,600
Somehow, Farseid sees this plan already happening and he sends Oblatae who might be Oblatae is now an AI.

1004
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,600
He's not actually I didn't say that before.

1005
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,600
He's an AI. He's a perfect replica of the old Oblatae who taught Farseid.

1006
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:59,600
And this the old Oblatae died in an experiment where Ovesa tried to like resurrect an orc basically in this experiment went a little bit wrong and the orc broke his shackles and killed Oblatae.

1007
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:03,600
So, again, a little bit of clashing between Ovesa and Farseid.

1008
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,600
They have little arguments about that, actually.

1009
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:19,600
But Oblatae gets sent up in this like one man ship and he detonates, he like shoots the exterminatus warheads before they can get far enough and he destroys the Scar Lord's fleet, or at least their ship.

1010
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,600
And I'm pretty sure that's the end of the Scar Lords to my knowledge.

1011
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,600
I'm not sure if they're still alive today, but I'm pretty sure they're all dead.

1012
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:26,600
Luckily for Oblatae.

1013
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,600
I'm in the BK, who cares?

1014
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:37,600
Luckily for Oblatae, he's able to upload his consciousness to another thing and becomes the next incarnation of Oblatae, which is like, I think, four.

1015
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,600
Oblatae 4-0.

1016
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,600
Nowadays, Oblatae is 9-0, so it happens quite a lot.

1017
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:44,600
But I mean, like it makes sense.

1018
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,600
If you had if you can just sacrifice yourself over and over again, you might as well.

1019
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,600
So that's Viorlas.

1020
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:54,600
They've taken Viorlas and they it doesn't really explain the taking of the other steps world.

1021
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:59,600
I'm not sure if there is much of an imperial presence on them or not, because they just kind of take them and that's it.

1022
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,600
So I guess it wasn't.

1023
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:05,600
But there's like four main sceptre worlds that they take and they're pretty neat.

1024
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:10,600
They're Seleshe, Tenecla, Lub-Gral, and then of course Viorlas.

1025
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:16,600
I think Hal had a favorite two, if you wanted to talk about them now, Hal, or you can wait till later.

1026
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:21,600
I can. I've got a pick two that would definitely off my end, shall we say.

1027
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:25,600
I'll start with the Tenecla, if I'm saying it right.

1028
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:31,600
So this one is probably my favorite because this is a crystal world.

1029
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:43,600
And the idea of that is like Warhammer worlds are usually like it's either like dirty, like grin, you know, it's just basically mud and brick most of the time.

1030
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:47,600
But this is kind of like this hits like a new level of sci fi.

1031
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,600
It's kind of a bit more like is anyone here play Stellaris?

1032
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:55,600
It's like a bit more like that vibe, shall we say.

1033
01:27:55,600 --> 01:28:02,600
I love Paradox's war crime simulators. I'm a big fan of them.

1034
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,600
Luckily, you'll be right up there on this one.

1035
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:11,600
It's a little bit weird this one where like the different cars, they live in like different places.

1036
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:17,600
So the air car and like floating pods that like are kind of above the planet.

1037
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:24,600
And then there's apparently the planet is also like transparent, which is like really bizarre to me.

1038
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:28,600
Like I don't quite, could you imagine an entire planet?

1039
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:37,600
Like you know when you're a young girl, you look over, like if you showed like a room with your sibling, your sibling is giving you the middle finger across the room or something.

1040
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,600
Someone could do that for an entire planet.

1041
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:47,600
And like the Earth cars themselves, they've stripped the planet of like any like things that get out of the way.

1042
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:53,600
So it's kind of the whole planet is basically a geometrically like perfect surface.

1043
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:57,600
Dude, they turned into like perfect hexagons the whole planet around. It's really cool.

1044
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,600
It's pretty, it's pretty out there to be fair.

1045
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:09,600
And my other favorite one was, I'm not going to pronounce this right, Salashii Hey, which is basically.

1046
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,600
So is it Salashii Hey or Salashii?

1047
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:13,600
Salashii.

1048
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,600
It sounds the same in the book, I just assume that's how.

1049
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:20,600
Sounds like a something you put on, you know, a packet or something you pour on your meal.

1050
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:26,600
I don't know. I thought it sounded like you would go to like an Irish pub and they have a cocktail and it's like you want to Salashii?

1051
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,600
Yeah, that would be good.

1052
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:44,600
Well, this planet is again weird because basically just it describes it as like a collection of giant moon signs, moon sized globes of liquid that orbit a sun, which obviously is mental, isn't it?

1053
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:54,600
It's insane. And apparently like it states like when like meteors like pass into one of them, like basically it breaks up a little bit essentially.

1054
01:29:54,600 --> 01:30:00,600
So I don't even know how even it's basically just a massive. It's my sci-fi universe. I get to decide the physics.

1055
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:06,600
I mean, there are massive blobs of like, I think they've seen massive blobs of water in space.

1056
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,600
Like it can happen.

1057
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:10,600
Why? What's the point?

1058
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:14,600
It's a natural phenomenon. It just happens sometimes.

1059
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:16,600
I thought they built it.

1060
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:19,600
They needed a reason to say that this is the watercast planet.

1061
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:24,600
The watercast kind of just this is their home a bit on the nose.

1062
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:29,600
But to be fair, we're into Warhammer. So a bit on the nose is kind of our thing.

1063
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,600
I like the fire cast as being like, and this is our fire cast planet.

1064
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:38,600
And then the salamander is going cute. Look at our planet. This is the real fire planet.

1065
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,600
Since you brought it up.

1066
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:42,600
Oh, sorry. Were you finished?

1067
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:43,600
I finished. I finished. Go ahead.

1068
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:49,600
Since you brought it up, I have to ask, do you have a favorite favorite Stellaris war crime?

1069
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,600
Oh, this is tricky.

1070
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:59,600
My personal favorite is the guy who went to war with an empire captured some of their planets,

1071
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:07,600
turned the species on the planets he captured into food and then sold that food back to the empire he conquered it from.

1072
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:08,600
Yikes.

1073
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:09,600
That's awesome.

1074
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:14,600
I'm kind of more of the like, you know, the world, like the disaster events, you know, the one where like,

1075
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:20,600
oh, you are kind of you meet the planet and it's full of like little it literally is like lizard men that are tiny.

1076
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:22,600
And they're like, they're very primitive.

1077
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:28,600
But then if you let them onto your ship or by accident and they're like, yeah, they're monsters.

1078
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,600
They're so aggressive and like tiny.

1079
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:36,600
My war crime is not that my war crime list is not heavy, though.

1080
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,600
That's a shame. You're not a true paradox player.

1081
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,600
Oh, David, my Crusader Kings.

1082
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:46,600
Let's just say incest is wincest.

1083
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,600
Oh, no.

1084
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,600
I don't want to play the game. It always ends up that way.

1085
01:31:51,600 --> 01:32:04,600
I may I may like the Zenos in 40K, but in Stellaris, there is no war crime or two heinous, two heinous not to justify in some way.

1086
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:06,600
You would make the Imperium blush.

1087
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:12,600
I wouldn't make I make the Imperium look like rookies in the field of alien murder.

1088
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,600
So I made a mod for it, didn't they?

1089
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:24,600
If the primitives didn't want to be annihilated, they wouldn't have been born on a planet that had rare resources on it.

1090
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:31,600
Lord. But those are those like my kind of they're kind of the best ones, you know, basically crystal planet.

1091
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:37,600
You're not so fancy. You're lost. It's just the jungle volcano place.

1092
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:45,600
And the other one, Love growl, love growl, love growl, I think, is the Earth planet.

1093
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:48,600
Like that's it. There's ravines and it's desert.

1094
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:55,600
The Earthcast like it because it's good for testing weapons and, you know, bombing random locations because there's nothing to bomb.

1095
01:32:55,600 --> 01:33:00,600
It's just dirt, you know, little little Earthcast stuff.

1096
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,600
Those are the main planets. There's more.

1097
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:08,600
But I don't think they're really mentioned much, at least we see a new player into the game now.

1098
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:15,600
And this is war boss Grog Iron Tooth of I don't remember what clan he's part of.

1099
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:23,600
He's just a free booter, I believe him and his bros, his boys, I guess I should say, fought on Arkunasha.

1100
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:33,600
Also, the orcs call Farsight to the Red Runt, which is nice, and they call the Tao Gun Runts, which is fun.

1101
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:44,600
So boss Iron Tooth and his buddies are parlay with Captain Badruck and they hire his services to try to battle with the Tao in the War of Daka.

1102
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:48,600
Because their dream is to out Daka the Tao and beat them at their own game.

1103
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:52,600
Because the orcs, they freaking hate the Tao. The Tao are like the worst opponents ever.

1104
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:54,600
It's true to you, it's so lame.

1105
01:33:54,600 --> 01:34:08,600
But they have some skirmishes in space and Farsight actually accompanies Li Mao Tang, his pilot, on the fancy Manta on a bit of a scouting mission to go check out the orcs.

1106
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:14,600
And they have a bit of a tassel. Things go kind of badly and there's an issue.

1107
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:22,600
But we see Farsight try to save Tang's young pupil, whose name I can't remember for the life of me.

1108
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:27,600
And there's kind of like an other aircast girl there, she's just like this normie who doesn't really get it.

1109
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,600
This normie.

1110
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:40,600
Like Li Mao Tang and the other guy and Farsight are all talking and she keeps being like, what? That's crazy. That's fast. Yeah.

1111
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:44,600
You can't say that about that and blah blah blah.

1112
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:58,600
And Tang, in secret, over the little comms feed, when they're talking about the ethereals, he tells Farsight, he basically says, I have some opinions about our glorious leaders myself.

1113
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:02,600
Which he shouldn't have said over the comms feed because they're always listening.

1114
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:12,600
To be another thing, I guess, Oblatae made this frequency that emits kind of like this wacky white noise that disrupts all the recording devices around.

1115
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:16,600
And he turns it on whenever they talk about things that the ethereals wouldn't like.

1116
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,600
That's kind of how Farsight gets around saying things he's not supposed to.

1117
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:25,600
But he can't use it very often and they actually do take it away from him eventually because I think they find out that's what he's using.

1118
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:36,600
But the ship has some damage to it from the orc asteroid and Farsight risks his life to save Tang's pupil by cutting him out of his chair.

1119
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:42,600
And the one lady on there is like, you have to go, you're too important. You're the head of the expedition. You can't die here.

1120
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:47,600
And Farsight says, no, I'm going to save him. Even though in the back of his head he knows he has to save him.

1121
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:53,600
She points her gun at him. That's to the point of how important she sees it. But whatever.

1122
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:58,600
Farsight then takes his Cold Star battle suit and 1v1s an entire ship again.

1123
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,600
Not going to lie, I was having a hard time paying attention in the like five minutes that this happened in the book.

1124
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:06,600
So I don't know all the details, but it happened. He 1v1s the ship again.

1125
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:09,600
And that's the important part of that.

1126
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:20,600
The orcs, he then goes back to the ethereals and the ethereals tell him that the orcs are going to this planet called Atarivo, which is another city.

1127
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:28,600
Or sorry, another planet. And they say, you can't go. You have to stay here and make sure that the Sephiroth, like the main Sephiroth, are defended.

1128
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:36,600
And in another unspeakable act of treason, Farsight decides to not listen to this and go to Atarivo to help them.

1129
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:43,600
And multiple times, whenever he disobeys and does something he's not supposed to, and like Brightsword is like, bro, you can't do that.

1130
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:53,600
And Farsight's like, yeah, I can. And it's too important, so the watercast will just make something up and make it look like it was supposed to happen so I can get away with whatever I want.

1131
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:56,600
And he's right. He knows how to play the system.

1132
01:36:56,600 --> 01:37:07,600
Brightsword is his main pupil. I should say he's a part of a cloning program, a classified cloning program, because he keeps dying because he's very headstrong and goofy.

1133
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,600
But they have him on call to be cloned.

1134
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:15,600
And he talks really weirdly. He gives everyone a nickname. I don't know how to describe it.

1135
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:21,600
Like whenever he talks to Farsight, depending on what is happening, he'll say, like, I don't know, greetings, bold one.

1136
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:27,600
Or like when he's missing an arm on Arthas Moloch, he's like, he calls him armless one.

1137
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:31,600
Or if he's talking to me or calling, he'd say balding one.

1138
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:37,600
Balding one. Target the hairline. His true weakness.

1139
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,600
All ships fired will.

1140
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:43,600
Burn that receding hairline.

1141
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:51,600
Yeah, he's, Farsight basically tells him everything. He's close. He's very close with him and Bravestorm and Obelisk Eye.

1142
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:59,600
The other members of the Aids are kind of like newer to the setting, which we see with Shazzo Arakan, who comes into the play.

1143
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:09,600
And Farsight leaves Arakan to watch over the Seps worlds that he's about to leave, and he heads out to Atarivo. And it's an absolute horrible disaster.

1144
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:17,600
So first, the orcs land and blow up this city with their big asteroid. And they don't know about it soon enough.

1145
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:25,600
So the Aetherials command a retreat and they have everyone of like, I think it's like Vray ranking or higher, which so it's like pretty high ranking.

1146
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:31,600
So millions of people are going to die. Only those ranks get to evacuate. The rest are like, they just leave there because they don't have time.

1147
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,600
So all those people die. Oh, well, I guess the orcs don't care.

1148
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:39,600
It was really cool in the book, though, because they had they had a poor connection on the feed.

1149
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:44,600
So they actually recorded and used sound effects to make it like a cutting out comms feed.

1150
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:48,600
They used they actually had a few parts in the book where it's kind of an audio drama.

1151
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:52,600
So it's worth to listen to if you have audible or whatever. Please sponsor us. Please sponsor us.

1152
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:59,600
Please like there are a few of those where they've like I've done the Horus heresy series when there's no no stuff like that.

1153
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:04,600
But some of the collections like they did one the Knights Errant and they had like sound effects.

1154
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:09,600
And there's a bit where Loken and Luthor are having a conversation is like it's in a dungeon.

1155
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:13,600
There's like water dripping and noises of like cell doors. It's really cool what they do with those.

1156
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,600
But they're kind of rare. You find. Yeah.

1157
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:22,600
The first book starts out with an impute with a Tao propaganda commercial and it has sound effects. It's really cool.

1158
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:26,600
Yeah. So they go to the idea of them going, I'm doing my part at the beginning.

1159
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:32,600
Ah, good reference. Um, I might be committing a little crime by saying that the planets call Atari Ville.

1160
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:36,600
Atari Ville might be the city. I don't remember. I don't think it's a big deal, though.

1161
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:43,600
Um, Farseid shows up and they have a quarantine going for this big asteroid that ran into the planet to keep the orcs out.

1162
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:47,600
But they don't want to engage with them so that they'll, you know, they'll just result in fighting or whatever.

1163
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:57,600
And Farseid doesn't want this because he's used to the orcs of Arcanashia who they don't want them to kill everyone and spread like the orcs do.

1164
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:03,600
And he has a lot of PTSD from Arcanashia and he really just doesn't. He does not want to lose the orcs again.

1165
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:11,600
So he watches his big Mothka strike. Unfortunately, these are the cunningly brutal orcs, not the brutally cunning orcs.

1166
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:19,600
Big mistake, Farseid. So Captain Badruk and Grog hatch this trap on Farseid and his guys.

1167
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:25,600
And they have to wait until Farseid and his hunter cadre are in range of their asteroid thing.

1168
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:31,600
And they activate the force field and essentially like trap them and kill them all.

1169
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:36,600
And they have a lot of flash kits with them. So there's tons of Daka. So they're just like obliterating these poor Tau.

1170
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:42,600
And in the end, only Farseid and his commanders escape basically.

1171
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:48,600
And there's huge casualties. It's like this huge shame on Farseid's record and it's very, very bad.

1172
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:53,600
And he's like, he's put to shame as well because he dissipated the ethereals and then he lost as well.

1173
01:40:53,600 --> 01:41:01,600
But yeah, it's one of the first times that we actually see Farseid lose, which is nice because you don't see characters lose a lot in Warhammer novels.

1174
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:06,600
I feel like he's won all the time. He is a genius, but he has not.

1175
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:10,600
It's another example of the Tau not encountering something before. So they had no idea it was going to happen.

1176
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:16,600
He didn't know that orcs could be smart. They are actually about to kill the leaders of the orcs, Badruk and Grog and whoever.

1177
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:21,600
But then they just mysteriously teleport away. I wonder where they're going.

1178
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:30,600
And Farseid returns to the Enclave worlds. Atari Vo was too far away for messages to get through because they don't have astropaths.

1179
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:35,600
They don't have astropaths, so they don't know what's going on on the other side of the gulf.

1180
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:42,600
It takes a long time to cross the gulf as well because they don't have warp travel like the orcs, which they don't know that the orcs have warp travel.

1181
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:52,600
And uh oh, the orc fleet used their capabilities to cross the gulf and go to the other sept worlds while Farseid and his lads are busy on Atari Vo.

1182
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:59,600
Farseid returns to utter horrible disaster and the orcs have invaded all the sept worlds and it's absolutely terrible.

1183
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:05,600
Everything he has fought for, they are about to lose and they're losing the battle on every planet.

1184
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:16,600
So Farseid relents command for a while to Shavastos, which we meet Shavastos and he's hanging in this stasis thing in Ovaeus' workshop basically.

1185
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:22,600
And his head is carved open and his brain is just out and it's like held in different pieces.

1186
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:29,600
And Ovaeus like presses a button and wakes him up and he talks to him, but he's also talking to Pyrtide because he has the angram chipping him remember.

1187
01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:32,600
So he kind of like goes in and out of lucidity.

1188
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:40,600
So he leaves command with Shavastos, who's technically not supposed to be alive, so he just has him like pretend to be someone else and stay in a battle suit.

1189
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:44,600
And he goes and he meditates on the bottom of the ocean in Vyorlas I believe.

1190
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:46,600
And he thinks for a while.

1191
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:52,600
And then he says, you know what, I know what to do. I'm going to go, I don't know, be one with the elements.

1192
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:59,600
So he goes into like volcanoes and burning forests on Vyorlas and he thinks for a while.

1193
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:08,600
And he goes to the bottom of the ocean again and he thinks for Seleshe and he goes way high up in the air for Tinecla.

1194
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:12,600
And I don't remember what he does for the earth one, just some earthy thing.

1195
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:17,600
He meditates, he has a little avatar, he has a little avatar, the last Airbender moment.

1196
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:22,600
And he has just like this random spark of revelation. That's good.

1197
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,600
Yeah. So he knows what to do because of this, I guess.

1198
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:35,600
It's another another Vashia moment kind of proving the ethereal is wrong in that being between casts, between spheres might not be such a bad thing.

1199
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:42,600
Because maybe maybe we should let the little fire cast babies play with Lego and they'll, you know, learn a couple skills.

1200
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:49,600
So he goes to Seleshe. This is not an order, by the way. I don't remember the specific order, but he goes to Seleshe.

1201
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:57,600
He matches the plan with Oveza and he gets the seismic Fabulators, which is he uses like all the time, I guess, it's just magic.

1202
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,600
But he drops them at the bottom of the ocean.

1203
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:07,600
They make this like special battle suit casing for him so that he can go to the bottom of the ocean without exploding and being crushed by pressure.

1204
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:15,600
And he causes, there's actually an Orc submarine captain character for a little bit, just like a chapter.

1205
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:19,600
But he hears this like thrum on the bottom of the ocean and he's like, what the heck is that?

1206
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:28,600
It's a little off-putting. And then they turn around and there's these giant tsunamis coming and the tsunamis engulf all the Orc war fleets on Seleshe.

1207
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:36,600
And they're done with. Then he goes to Tenakalab. He has the Aircast bait in the Orc air fleet.

1208
01:44:36,600 --> 01:44:40,600
And then they kind of fly up, leaving all their propellant gases.

1209
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:49,600
And Faraset ignites the propellant with his plasma rifle and the Aircast like rides it on top, I guess, and it incinerates all the Orc fliers.

1210
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:54,600
And then he goes to Viorlas and he causes a bunch of firestorms and he actually kills Grog on Viorlas.

1211
01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:56,600
I guess Viorlas is the last one.

1212
01:44:56,600 --> 01:45:05,600
He also causes a mass Talarissa bond on Viorlas, which is a big thing for his Faraset enclaves on the tabletop.

1213
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:15,600
Back in the day, at least, you would have to take the bonding knife upgrade for one point per guy because all the Faraset warriors have bonding knives because they went through the Talarissa bond.

1214
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,600
It's very morale boosting and whatnot.

1215
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:19,600
And then they fight off the Orcs from Viorlas.

1216
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:27,600
And lastly, he goes to Le'Gral and he megaliths all the Tal colonies into the air, I guess.

1217
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:37,600
And using fibulators again, he has all the chasms and whatever cave in on the Orcs and kill all the speed freaks who are chilling there.

1218
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:39,600
Yeah. And he wins. Hooray!

1219
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:43,600
This is like in one montage. Holy crap.

1220
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:45,600
Yeah, I was just going to say it sounds like you could make a montage out of that.

1221
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:49,600
He goes here and he's just like, yeah, he was basically a montage in the book.

1222
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:58,600
Yeah. And he Jatt Black just screaming in the background with heavy guitar riff.

1223
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:02,600
Just and then, Matt, he sounds so badass. I'll be honest.

1224
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:09,600
He's like, I have this. I have one. Smart fellow. He's a smart fella, not a fart smeller. That's for sure.

1225
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:15,600
A fart side enclaves. Oh, no. Heresy. Go throw it all away now.

1226
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:24,600
Grog Dian was kind of a feels bad. The head of the old boss on his shoulder was like a pain boss or whatever.

1227
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:29,600
And this head would just like scream stuff all the time. He was just a head in a jar.

1228
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:33,600
And it was a little fun, but they're all dead now.

1229
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:38,600
So he masters the elements. The other Orcs went to Arthas Moloch though.

1230
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:43,600
Which was just as old relic world. And I don't quite remember why.

1231
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:46,600
It was part of the trap still. They sent them there. The trap failed.

1232
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:52,600
Obviously in the end, it almost works. So they almost actually the worst, almost outsmarted far side, which is kind of embarrassing, I guess.

1233
01:46:52,600 --> 01:47:01,600
But you know, work gets you sometimes. Orcs, Orcs are stupid until one of them learns how to count to five and then you're in trouble.

1234
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:11,600
Truly. So he wants to get rid of the last of the Orcs, which are on Arthas Moloch and the Ethereals keep saying, oh, why haven't you?

1235
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:15,600
They're like a nagging. I don't know what I can say on this.

1236
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:25,600
They nag a lot. They're like, oh, far side, there's still imperial presence on Arthas Moloch and it's still imperial presence on this one little planet.

1237
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:28,600
That doesn't matter. Why would you save all these people? They're Karens.

1238
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:36,600
The Ethereals first. The Ethereals are Karens. Why don't you get a job?

1239
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:44,600
Stacey's husband is a chief executive officer. You just have a dumb sword.

1240
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:49,600
Basically. So they nag far side a little bit more, but he still goes to Arthas Moloch.

1241
01:47:49,600 --> 01:48:00,600
And this is where things get a little spicy for our big man and the most important part in his story, arguably. Sorry that we took so long to get there.

1242
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:10,600
I just wanted to showcase how epic he is. He goes to Arthas Moloch with the plan of just fighting Orcs because there's nothing else on Arthas Moloch.

1243
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:18,600
There's no such thing as ghosts, obviously. His friend Shazera talks about ghosts a lot, though, but him in case it gets goofy.

1244
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:27,600
Ghosts and Moloch. They're fighting the Orcs. It's basically a free win because there's not that many Orcs on there because the Orcs didn't really care about going to some dumb relic world.

1245
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:38,600
They spill blood on this dais. And all of a sudden this wacky glowing circle appears and it starts raining blood, like the Slayer song.

1246
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:53,600
It's pretty metal woman, actually. And this blood starts congealing into these red horned aliens, corn demons, obviously.

1247
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:59,600
But they don't know that. And so they call them Molochites at first. And they're fighting them off.

1248
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:04,600
They don't know what the heck is going on because like where the heck did these things come from? They can't be negotiated with.

1249
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:10,600
They're not like they do crazy. They don't have any guns. They find themselves in a mosh pit.

1250
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:17,600
Yeah. And so the demons start killing the Tau and the Orcs. Farcite is like ordering a systematic retreat.

1251
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:25,600
It's going like, oh, hey, until Farcite puts his gun in one of their faces and pulls the trigger and nothing happens because they're demons.

1252
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:30,600
And like the end, it's basically random chance if you get to kill them or not with your guns.

1253
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:36,600
And Farcite gets critically injured and is kind of spirited away back to the fleet.

1254
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,600
But before this, oh, sorry, I messed up a little bit here.

1255
01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:46,600
The reason he goes unconscious is because he looks into the portal and he sees many, many visions.

1256
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:52,600
The most important things that he sees, though, are his visions of these giants like glowing white beings.

1257
01:49:52,600 --> 01:50:00,600
And they all are looking down on these countless like millions of Tau who are all grinning so hard that their mouths are bleeding.

1258
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:05,600
And all these Tau are chained up in slavery, but they're like willingly doing it all.

1259
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:12,600
And whenever one dies, there's like this Uruk-hai birth scene where this amniotic sack gets opened with a new Tau in it.

1260
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:19,600
And it grows up really fast and it clamps itself into the chains and enslaves itself willingly.

1261
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:23,600
So he sees that and then he kind of sees himself as a warrior king.

1262
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:27,600
And he's like throttling both Kace and Shazera and killing them.

1263
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:30,600
And he has this bone armor on and these bone helmets.

1264
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:36,600
And he sees just like chaos visions and he looks into the warp almost and sees the realm of Khorne.

1265
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:38,600
And then he goes unconscious.

1266
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:40,600
I'd love to see him try and take on Kace.

1267
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:45,600
The Doom soundtrack would have started hammering away.

1268
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:49,600
I just like how you were like, oh, these red armor.

1269
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:52,600
And I'm just like, Khorne just looks at it and he's like, it's a nice shade of red.

1270
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:53,600
I'm a big fan of red myself.

1271
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:54,600
Yeah.

1272
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:56,600
I guess actually I love the pretty important part.

1273
01:50:56,600 --> 01:51:03,600
The beginning of the second Farsight book talks about literally how Xeinch and Khorne are competing for Farsight basically.

1274
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:07,600
And on Arthas Moloch, both Xeinch and Khorne demons appear,

1275
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:19,600
making it seem that almost maybe they're working together in a loose ally to just get Farsight on the side of chaos or corrupt him at the very least.

1276
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:25,600
Because for Xeinch, he causes a lot of change with his rebellion, which tears like a whole empire apart.

1277
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:29,600
And, you know, Khorne is pretty obvious. He kills people.

1278
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:35,600
But Farsight goes unconscious after seeing these visions and a few other things and wakes up in the Luke Skywalker Star Wars back to tank.

1279
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:40,600
And he says, let me go. And the Earthcast says, the Aetherials say you're not allowed to go.

1280
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:44,600
And then he convinces them otherwise, whatever, and he leaves.

1281
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:49,600
And he meets up with his commanders and finds out that the Aetherials made them all leave the planet.

1282
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:54,600
And there's like random hunter cadre scattered down on Arthas Moloch getting killed.

1283
01:51:54,600 --> 01:52:02,600
And so he has this bit of an argument with the Aetherials because the Aetherials, he's going to go back no matter what, even in his critical condition.

1284
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:07,600
And the Aetherials kind of argue with him. I left another thing out. Sorry.

1285
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:20,600
Before this stuff happens, in the end of the first time they fight Veorlas, on Veorlas, he encounters poor Malchor trying to kill Nicola Harat, the Psyker Lady.

1286
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:27,600
And poor Malchor finally reveals to be the demon possessed Tau. He was possessed by a herald of Xeinch.

1287
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:35,600
And Pharsight has his flash of inspiration and carves his hexagrammaton into poor Malchor's flesh and banishes a demon.

1288
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:38,600
He somehow knew that that symbol could banish demons.

1289
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:45,600
And poor Malchor tells him, before dying though, the demon tells him that the Aetherials are playing him for a fool.

1290
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:52,600
And Pharsight knows that he's never heard this demon lie. He tells himself that it's lying, but he knows deep down that it's telling him the truth.

1291
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:57,600
This demon then doesn't really get banished, but it possesses Nicola Harat.

1292
01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:01,600
And Nicola kind of gets coaxes Pharsight going down to the planet again.

1293
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:08,600
The Aetherials go down to the planet with Pharsight because they think that they can negotiate with the demons, goofy Tau.

1294
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:17,600
And they use the word nemesis, which Pharsight then thinks about later, because he thought that they didn't know what they were.

1295
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:24,600
And how could the Tau race have a nemesis that they've never even seen or heard of before? Pretty sketchy.

1296
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:31,600
So more demons come out of the portal, and now there's a lure of change, and there's bloodthirsters, and everything's going wrong.

1297
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:35,600
And all three of the Aetherials die, and Moatta dies trying to defend the Aetherials.

1298
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:44,600
Pharsight almost dies, and then he picks up this big fancy sword from a statue beside him, because his fusion blaster arm got torn off.

1299
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:47,600
So he just has his plasma gun arm, but his plasma gun got destroyed as well.

1300
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:55,600
And he goes up to deflect the bloodthirsters' axe, and the axe shatters on this sword that is just really OP for some reason.

1301
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:59,600
I mean, we're at the sword. If you'd like to talk about the sword, you can talk about the sword.

1302
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:06,600
Yeah. So this is obviously, everyone here has seen the new Pharsight model. It probably dates this.

1303
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:07,600
Pretty beautiful.

1304
01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:15,600
Oh, this is not just any blade. This is the Dawn Blade. There's a lot of Dawn, I realize, in a lot of the town naming things.

1305
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,600
Man, they're already like, they're like, morning people, maybe.

1306
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:34,600
But the Dawn Blade itself is essentially Pharsight's iconic weapon, and it's kind of, its design is not, like, relates to anything that's really in the Warhammer setting.

1307
01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:44,600
It's supposedly of like a way, like pre-human, Xenoth civilization. Like, its design is unique. No one else has anything really like it.

1308
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:55,600
And this thing just cuts, this thing can cut through pretty much, like, you know, it shatters like the demon's, like, you know, axe, basically, essentially.

1309
01:54:55,600 --> 01:55:09,600
This thing is, along the lines, a little bit OP, a little bit OP. But it's supposedly, like, I think it even states, like, it's forged from a chronophagic alloys, which I think-

1310
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:10,600
Yeah, it's a made up word.

1311
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:27,600
Yeah, Warhammer. But supposedly this, its unique ability, which he finds, which I don't think Pharsight's really aware of it, but we know as like, kind of, maybe the reader, but this can, like, absorb life force from Pharsight's enemies.

1312
01:55:27,600 --> 01:55:34,600
So, I mean, to be fair, if he found out about that, he'd probably feel guilty, but also he wouldn't put it down, to be fair. It's like, it's too good.

1313
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:45,600
And this blade again, it's ginormous by it. This thing is huge. It's like, literally like carrying a person, like, by the feet and like two handed, whacking them violently.

1314
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:51,600
But this is kind of, yeah, this is the genesis of where he gets that unique weapon. He just sort of finds it.

1315
01:55:51,600 --> 01:56:07,600
Obviously, maybe it's a plot from some intervening gods, shall we say, but yeah, he obviously, on Arthur's Moloch now, this is his iconic weapon. I'll pass it back to Eli to state how that goes for him in this battle.

1316
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:09,600
It's also a sword of all.

1317
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:17,600
All I'm saying is people finding swords in Warhammer 40k is usually a bad thing.

1318
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:31,600
Yeah, he actually, there is a little bit I have in my notes that he starts getting some little sus Fulgrim thoughts where I think at one point when he's fighting, it might be in the new lore, actually, I don't remember, but whatever.

1319
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:55,600
And yeah, and someone like wins a battle and he has this like spike of anger. He's like, I should have been in that battle. I should be mine. Like I should win that battle. I want to kill those things. Kind of a little moment. It doesn't really go on past that though. So it's not I don't think it's complete Fulgrim situation. It's more like Jendor Skryvok the Nightlord. He's like, I've got this sword and I keep chucking it away and it comes back somehow. It won't leave me alone, but it's really cool.

1320
01:56:55,600 --> 01:57:13,600
If I remember correctly, when he looks at the sword, he can see his own reflection through the battle suit, which is really cool. And the Earthcast has no idea what this what the heck this wacky sword is. But yeah, it's the Dawnblade. He fights the Bloodthirster with it. He almost wins actually, but he's about to die.

1321
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:29,600
The entire time Coldstar is yelling at him that he's about to have a cardiac failure. He's gonna have a heart attack and die. Luckily, Bravestorm and Brightsword come in at the last moment and save Farsight after he kind of battles with these with this demon for quite a while.

1322
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:45,600
And Farsight gets up, he goes and kills some orcs and all of a sudden, he feels really good. He feels a lot better. He's not his heart attack is gone. And things are going well. So he kind of commandeers this counter attack and things are going well.

1323
01:57:45,600 --> 01:58:04,600
He also spots an amulet with the same symbol of the hexagrammaton. And he notices that the demons are not going towards these amulets. So he has all these cadras or whatever, all the squads gathered these amulets from the statues on Arthas Moloch in their area in the city that they're in.

1324
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:16,600
And he takes them all and he goes and flings them into the portal and the portal explodes and all the demons are gone and everything's better. So that's the good ending for Arthas Moloch. They then clean up the orcs.

1325
01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:38,600
Nikkala Harat was possessed by the demon. She actually shape changes herself to look like poor Malkor so that she can fit into Oblatae's command suite, like his little harness place, which is kind of like Bracehome and Brightsword are not huge fans of this, but they wanted her to be down there because she seemed to know what was going on.

1326
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:52,600
She fights a hound of corn and she puts the collar on to get the demon of Zech out of her. Yeah. And it's like the most, it's very agonizing and brutal for her, but she does it and it works out good for her.

1327
01:58:52,600 --> 01:59:09,600
And she survives, surprisingly. She talks with the Lord of Change though, before that thing goes away. So they went on Arthas Moloch and Farsight goes back to the ship. And mind you, at this point, Farsight was well beyond the natural lifespan of a Tau.

1328
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:20,600
They were already used longevity surgeries and stuff and treatments to keep him alive, but he's an old guy at this point. He's very, very, very, very old. Probably the oldest Tau alive at this point.

1329
01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:23,600
He's the Clint Eastwood of the Tau society.

1330
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:24,600
It just won't go.

1331
01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:26,600
Get out of my lawn.

1332
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:44,600
Yeah. He comes back and they discover that he looks like he's in his prime years again. He doesn't look young anymore. He's still the same on the inside. He looks in a mirror and he has a Bilbo Baggins moment where he's like, I feel so stretched like butter on bread.

1333
01:59:44,600 --> 01:59:59,600
He doesn't say that specifically, obviously, but he feels old. But when he looks himself in the reflection, he looks young. And when he's fighting with the Dawnblade and killing things, he feels really good.

1334
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:16,600
And that goes away after he's fighting things, obviously. And yeah, he has no idea that the Dawnblade is what's extending his lifespan. But it's said that if he were to ever found out, he would probably kill himself, apparently. That's not like, that's just a theory that they say, but it's like official lore theory, I guess.

1335
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:29,600
I think some people think the Dawnblade has Necron background. It's not confirmed though, last I checked. I'd like to think it was something like before that even would be cool. I guess Necron's like the beginning. Doesn't matter.

1336
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:47,600
So yeah, they find that out and then Ovesa wants to study it and Farseid's like, again, Bilbo Baggins. Why should I give it to you? It's mine, my own, mine. And he doesn't let Ovesa have it because it's his. But he decides that that's enough fighting for him.

1337
02:00:47,600 --> 02:01:01,600
He's caused the death of three Aetherials. And that basically means like, he expects to be fully exiled for this and killed. He has to go through like this trial thing. But none of that actually happens.

1338
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:23,600
He does go into exile though for a time because having three Aetherials die under your command is like the most ultimate horrible failure ever. Even though he's found out the truth of these Aetherials. And now that he knows the truth of the Aetherials, unlike Horus, he doesn't want to spark an entire huge rebellion because he still believes in the Tau'va.

1339
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:40,600
He still wants the greater good to flourish and the Tau'va race to do well. So instead of sticking around and telling someone, he tells no one and he goes into exile. And he waits to die basically. Just living, hunting, and chilling in the Viorln like wastelands and whatever.

1340
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:55,600
And then he doesn't die. And he just keeps living. And so he comes back. Alright, I've already talked about them a little too much and I stole some of Hal's stuff. But I'm going to let him talk about his favourite characters in the Eight now.

1341
02:01:55,600 --> 02:02:13,600
Yes, these are kind of like the like the Fellowship of the Ring in a way. I hate to say it, but I had to get that reference in there because I do. The Tau'va saying potatoes. Probably the Mashem stick of an Astu. We all know that's from. Sorry, what was the war crime? What was the lore crime? You did Andy with that.

1342
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:26,600
Oh god, forgot about that. That is not a small mistake. They were both talking about food and their fantasies related.

1343
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:48,600
That was egregious. Not as egregious as some of these names that we're going to go through here. So I picked two of my favourites to go with. So Eli has mentioned them a couple of times. I think just a few of them. But the ones I've chosen was, sorry for the pronunciation, boys. This is going to be atrocious. But it's Ob Lotai-Zero.

1344
02:02:48,600 --> 02:03:08,600
And this one's a pretty unique kind of member of the Eight because he is one of Farsight's honour guard and he is in a broadside battle suit, but there's no one in it. There's absolutely no one in it. This thing is empty, kind of like the jokes on this channel.

1345
02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:30,600
And this one, I know, I know. True, true. This one is an A.I. engram of the original owner, which was actually the original Ob Lotai. So this is essentially just a robot. And obviously, any Imperium boys out there know this would be very heretical. Pretty terrible.

1346
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:46,600
And that one's pretty cool, to be fair, because it's kind of like the member that doesn't really fail you. So he's pretty good old reliable. The other one I chose was also Torchstar. Not going to lie, entirely based on the name, because Torchstar just sounds pretty cool.

1347
02:03:46,600 --> 02:04:07,600
This one is the youngest member of the kind of crew. I want to say Follish of the Ring, but they're not going to any Mordor in this lore, unfortunately, though. But this one was actually a Tao defector. He's also known as, I'm sorry for the names, so sorry people, but Vior Lahn, I think.

1348
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:22,600
It's kind of in, obviously, like most Tao names are related to their jobs or what they've achieved. And I think it was something to do related, sorry, I'm flubbing all my words here. It's related to how she would emulate hundreds.

1349
02:04:22,600 --> 02:04:42,600
So take that as you will, because obviously Torchstar, you know, torches people, torches, as in like actual torch. Sorry, YouTube, don't get angry at me. Burned. And apparently she has like fire tattoos across her body, which is obviously, that's pretty cool.

1350
02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:48,600
And I'll pass it over to Eli quickly. You're forgetting the most important aspect, Hal. I'll go for it.

1351
02:04:48,600 --> 02:05:02,600
She's a female Tao, which means you look up her name and the first image will be canon art. And then immediately after that, Tao tits as far as the eye can see.

1352
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:06,600
It's even worse because there is no canon art of her. There's one little picture.

1353
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:12,600
I looked it up. There's a picture of her battle suit and then it immediately goes to tits.

1354
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:23,600
Thanks for the fans. Thanks. At least she has cool tattoos though, T-Fair. And I'll pass it over to Eli to fill out the rest of this elite fellowship.

1355
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:38,600
I did mention them mostly already. There's not much more to say, but I mean, it is interesting to say that Torchstar, to my knowledge at least, he arrived in Orca dropship that was owned by Aung Shii.

1356
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:46,600
So not all the Aetherials hate Farsight. Aung Shii seems to be on his side, which was an Aetherial from Viora Lus. He's a G.

1357
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:54,600
Anywho, Shavaslos is the Dreadnought guy. We talked about him a little bit. He has a big power fist. He destroys a Titan at one point.

1358
02:05:54,600 --> 02:06:02,600
In the new lore, he fights off a Tyr and a Titan with his big fist. So he has a lot of fisting, you could say.

1359
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:05,600
He's like carrying the entire setting, isn't he, at this point then?

1360
02:06:05,600 --> 02:06:14,600
Apparently. There's not much more to say about the rest of them, being honest. Alucon is just a commander guy who's really smart.

1361
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:23,600
Javastos is the guy with the pure tide ingram chip in his brain. Bravestorm is the Dreadnought guy. Bight Sword is the cloned guy.

1362
02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:33,600
Yeah, we talked about them. They don't have as much lore as you'd want, but I mean, there's eight characters that they have to like slush into books. You can't be that picky, I guess.

1363
02:06:33,600 --> 02:06:40,600
Orvace is the main scientist. He gets a Riptide battle suit, which we'll talk about shortly here for the lore.

1364
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:46,600
They have very like anime side character energy. Extremely. Extremely so.

1365
02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:51,600
If they develop these characters, how will they have the time to write more Cato Sicarius books?

1366
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:57,600
Truly. Truly. I, Cato Sicarius, am not a side character.

1367
02:06:57,600 --> 02:06:59,600
He's the main character of 40k, don't you know?

1368
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:04,600
True, true. I feel like we need like the TTS boys just to come in here to scream.

1369
02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:06,600
Hey, Cato Sicarius!

1370
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,600
Oh my god, I hated that.

1371
02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,600
Yeah, you didn't even know my voice grew that high, did you?

1372
02:07:12,600 --> 02:07:14,600
No. Was that you? Christ.

1373
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:27,600
I think I did forget to mention a while ago that the ethereal skilled Farsight's pilot, Li-Mao Tang, who was just like this old nice guy, when he said that he had some criticisms for them,

1374
02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:36,600
they never got to talk about it in the future because they showed Farsight some poorly photoshopped footage of his manta being struck by a missile.

1375
02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:42,600
But the missile curves randomly and goes into the ship and then explodes like five seconds later.

1376
02:07:42,600 --> 02:07:50,600
No, that reminds me of, it just made me think of that episode of South Park where it's like Japan and it's like, see?

1377
02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:56,600
And it's the bombers with the dolphins and the wedges and the pilot seats. I don't know why I thought about that.

1378
02:07:56,600 --> 02:07:58,600
Oh man.

1379
02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:04,600
Yeah, you'd think with Tao technology they could make better fake death videos, but I guess not.

1380
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:14,600
Who's the Warhammer equivalent of Cartman? If that should even be said in a sentence, that's pretty cursed.

1381
02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:16,600
Can I have a confession?

1382
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:18,600
You've never watched South Park, have you?

1383
02:08:18,600 --> 02:08:20,600
I don't watch South Park, I'm a Simpsons fan.

1384
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:24,600
Bro, we're on the other side of the Atlantic and we've seen it.

1385
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:32,600
The Simpsons is a much better show than South Park. Or at least it was until it started eating shit.

1386
02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:35,600
It used to be, and then it wasn't.

1387
02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:38,600
And then after the Simpsons movie everything went downhill.

1388
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:40,600
I remember.

1389
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:42,600
There's a little South Park reference there that no one knows.

1390
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:45,600
I don't watch South Park, I just try to get it.

1391
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:50,600
Oh god, we should probably, we're having Farsight.

1392
02:08:50,600 --> 02:08:55,600
Our viewers are two hours in and we're talking about South Park and Simpsons.

1393
02:08:55,600 --> 02:09:00,600
Farsight went into exile, which is where we left off I believe.

1394
02:09:00,600 --> 02:09:04,600
And then he didn't die because he had the Dawnblade and so he lived forever.

1395
02:09:04,600 --> 02:09:14,600
He left the Dawnblade in his badass suit back behind Inovace's workshop type place, but he left its shield generator on as a symbol to not touch it. It's mine.

1396
02:09:14,600 --> 02:09:19,600
He saw the signs of a tier-9 invasion starting though on his planet. I don't think he really knew it was Tier-9s at the time.

1397
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:23,600
Just a guy being nibbled by a really small one like that doesn't look good.

1398
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:29,600
The floor and stuff was exploding and doing all the weird alien stuff that happens to planets when tier-9s show up.

1399
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:35,600
So Farsight returns in his people's time of dire need.

1400
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:41,600
They do the DNA tests and whatever and they're all hyped that Farsight's back and he's somehow like 200 years old.

1401
02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:45,600
I don't know if he's at all by that point because his eight are also still alive.

1402
02:09:45,600 --> 02:09:51,600
I don't know how half of them stay alive because they're not Dreadnoughts or AI, but just let it happen I guess.

1403
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:55,600
Is it the end character that anyone cares about?

1404
02:09:55,600 --> 02:10:00,600
Ovesa, it's said that he just takes drugs and it keeps him alive.

1405
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:02,600
Chad.

1406
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:10,600
So that works. But the High Fleet invades Viorla's. Not Viorla, his home planet Viorla, the other one.

1407
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:16,600
I couldn't find which High Fleet it actually was. So just tier-9s, just antics.

1408
02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:23,600
But the tier-9s invade the planets and everything's going badly because it's a tier-9 invasion obviously.

1409
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:27,600
Farsight's mounting the best defenses that he can and he's killing them pretty well,

1410
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:38,600
but he's finding that his Moth Ka strategy of eliminating leader beasts doesn't, it's not really doing the job because they just make more leaders and big monsters and they send them back down.

1411
02:10:38,600 --> 02:10:45,600
So everyone's dying and everything's going very bad and kind of as a last-ditch effort he plans a Kalyan,

1412
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:52,600
which is the patient hunter ambush tactic, with Ovesa and four of his Earthcasts.

1413
02:10:52,600 --> 02:11:00,600
Him and his eight stay behind as the rest of the planet is evacuated and they stay in this secluded science research base place

1414
02:11:00,600 --> 02:11:07,600
where the Earthcast scientists work tirelessly to find a way to destroy this entire High Fleet.

1415
02:11:07,600 --> 02:11:14,600
And after 12 days, I think it said, something like that, the Terenas find them and they start their assault on this little science base.

1416
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:20,600
So this is, they have like an hour left before they're all gonna die so they have to, you know, go fast.

1417
02:11:20,600 --> 02:11:26,600
The guy in the Riptide dies, I don't know who he was, I think he's just some random guy who Farsight liked at the time, but he's dead.

1418
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:34,600
So Ovesa jumps in the Riptide and starts kicking butt as the four Earthcast scientists finally finish their project

1419
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:39,600
and the eight would evacuate the planet on a big manta.

1420
02:11:39,600 --> 02:11:41,600
They evacuate?

1421
02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:42,600
Yeah.

1422
02:11:42,600 --> 02:11:43,600
Oh boo!

1423
02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:44,600
What's going on buddy?

1424
02:11:44,600 --> 02:11:45,600
Boo!

1425
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:52,600
I just mentioned Farsight 1v1s a hive tyrant and Bravestorm kills a bio-titan, so that's cool.

1426
02:11:52,600 --> 02:12:00,600
So they leave, the Earthcast scientists sacrifice themselves and are eaten and torn to bits, very dead.

1427
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:10,600
But their sacrifice was not in vain because the Earthcast scientists placed a time-released necrotic poison inside themselves

1428
02:12:10,600 --> 02:12:17,600
and when it went to the, I don't know, DNA gene pools or whatever of the Terenids, I don't remember what they're called,

1429
02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:24,600
it spread to the high fleet ships and they could see in space this black goop eating the Terenids alive

1430
02:12:24,600 --> 02:12:30,600
and they basically 1v1ed an entire high fleet with just four dudes and eight guys in battle suits.

1431
02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:33,600
It's a bunch of goofballs. They sure did it though.

1432
02:12:33,600 --> 02:12:36,600
In a spicy pond as well with a little...

1433
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:37,600
Yeah.

1434
02:12:37,600 --> 02:12:40,600
It's like the idea that the Terenid does, I've got a bit of an upset stomach, oh!

1435
02:12:40,600 --> 02:12:46,600
They go to the Terenid doctors like, what's going on? And just vomiting weird oozy stuff that kills them.

1436
02:12:46,600 --> 02:12:48,600
What have you been eating? The Tau.

1437
02:12:48,600 --> 02:12:49,600
Oh, figures, yeah.

1438
02:12:49,600 --> 02:12:53,600
It's coming out from both ends. The Tau. Oh my god.

1439
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:55,600
So sorry boys.

1440
02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:57,600
I've got the weeb sickness.

1441
02:12:57,600 --> 02:13:03,600
So it's pretty high, far sides back, he's deeply moved by the sacrifice of the Earthcast

1442
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:11,600
and his flame is reignited, his leadership is reignited and he rebuilds Vior Loss and kind of bools for a while

1443
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:17,600
with his buddies, you know, retaking planets, fixing up everything, building monuments on the Earthcast planet

1444
02:13:17,600 --> 02:13:21,600
for all the guys who sacrifice themselves. So it's a pretty good time.

1445
02:13:21,600 --> 02:13:26,600
After this, the timeline is just far side fights a bunch.

1446
02:13:26,600 --> 02:13:31,600
He goes back to the Tau Empire, I think, two or three times to help them fight.

1447
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:38,600
I believe he goes back to help them fight against the Terenids and he also obviously goes back to help them fight in the third...

1448
02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:40,600
I don't know if it's the third.

1449
02:13:40,600 --> 02:13:46,600
Third or second Damocles golf crusade conducted by the White Scars and the Raven Guard.

1450
02:13:46,600 --> 02:13:49,600
And I believe the Ultramarines are also there.

1451
02:13:49,600 --> 02:13:53,600
I told these guys they're lucky because I didn't get to read the whole book, sadly.

1452
02:13:53,600 --> 02:13:56,600
I only got to read the first one, which doesn't have Farseh in it.

1453
02:13:56,600 --> 02:14:01,600
So this episode will only be two and a half hours instead of three and a half hours.

1454
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:02,600
More Farseh.

1455
02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:07,600
White Scars are cool, Korsarakan is a beast, Shadow Sun...

1456
02:14:07,600 --> 02:14:10,600
The first book is pretty good though.

1457
02:14:10,600 --> 02:14:18,600
It kind of looks into Shadow Sun's view of Farseh as he's a traitor and gives a little bit of envow and stuff.

1458
02:14:18,600 --> 02:14:27,600
Shadow Sun and Korsarakan, I think that's how you say his name, play kind of cat and mouse but it's more like cat and cat where they're just trying to kill each other.

1459
02:14:27,600 --> 02:14:30,600
De Kahn actually does basically kill Shadow Sun.

1460
02:14:30,600 --> 02:14:38,600
He slashes her in the chest and pierces her heart and jiggles her unconscious and he glax her buddy in the stealth suit.

1461
02:14:38,600 --> 02:14:41,600
So give him some credit. He's a cool guy.

1462
02:14:41,600 --> 02:14:42,600
De Kahn, baby!

1463
02:14:42,600 --> 02:14:50,600
They do have a lot of bite charges against gun lions, which to their credit sometimes kind of works, but at the same time...

1464
02:14:50,600 --> 02:14:56,600
You gotta get your adrenaline rush somehow, you know. After a while, circus rides don't do it anymore.

1465
02:14:56,600 --> 02:14:58,600
De Kahn, also there, which is cool.

1466
02:14:58,600 --> 02:15:01,600
Like I said, I unfortunately don't know the whole story, sad times.

1467
02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:10,600
Farseh does show up as the Imperials are kind of wrecking the Tao Empire as they do because Imperium is better, not gonna lie.

1468
02:15:10,600 --> 02:15:12,600
They're more powerful though, that's for sure.

1469
02:15:12,600 --> 02:15:18,600
They have more industry is what they have.

1470
02:15:18,600 --> 02:15:22,600
They have more industry points than the Tao and more science points.

1471
02:15:22,600 --> 02:15:24,600
But when your enemy has...

1472
02:15:24,600 --> 02:15:28,600
Bigger pecs, bigger abs, bigger muscles.

1473
02:15:28,600 --> 02:15:34,600
They used to have more science points. Now light bulbs are the fucking mystery.

1474
02:15:34,600 --> 02:15:49,600
But when your opponent has a galaxy-spanning empire and the Tao only have a few solar systems, it's not exactly an even fight.

1475
02:15:49,600 --> 02:15:53,600
Like the United States of America going against sea land. Yeah, good luck!

1476
02:15:53,600 --> 02:16:01,600
Farseh does show up and he helps them and he literally rescues them and saves them.

1477
02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:07,600
And in this battle, I believe he fights with an Eversaur assassin, which explodes and almost kills him.

1478
02:16:07,600 --> 02:16:10,600
I believe he fights with Hu actually.

1479
02:16:10,600 --> 02:16:20,600
And Darkstrider kills a Vindicaer assassin and Shadow Son fights against a Caladis and a Calaxis.

1480
02:16:20,600 --> 02:16:23,600
I'm trying to remember all the assassin names. There's new ones now too.

1481
02:16:23,600 --> 02:16:31,600
Don't the Eldar describe one of those assassins as the most heinous thing that's ever existed?

1482
02:16:31,600 --> 02:16:33,600
Probably the Eversaur.

1483
02:16:33,600 --> 02:16:36,600
Those things are pretty messed up.

1484
02:16:36,600 --> 02:16:43,600
For newbies to Warhammer, these assassins are literally the most heinous purge.

1485
02:16:43,600 --> 02:16:47,600
There's nothing good about them. They're just the worst thing humans can create.

1486
02:16:47,600 --> 02:16:49,600
And the Tao are like, yikes.

1487
02:16:49,600 --> 02:16:53,600
People are like, I'm around the Sisters of Silence, they make me feel a bit iffy. And then there's these guys and they're like,

1488
02:16:53,600 --> 02:16:57,600
I want to pull off my face! They're not nice to be around.

1489
02:16:57,600 --> 02:16:59,600
Yeah, these assassins are pretty cool.

1490
02:16:59,600 --> 02:17:05,600
And Anva dies in this conflict. I don't think Farseh actually knows that he dies though.

1491
02:17:05,600 --> 02:17:11,600
I think only pretty much Shadow Son knows that Anva dies.

1492
02:17:11,600 --> 02:17:14,600
The Tao race doesn't really know that Anva dies because it's a big deal.

1493
02:17:14,600 --> 02:17:21,600
So they kind of just keep him as a hologram to pretend that he's okay to not create cataclysmic consequences for the Empire

1494
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:25,600
because their glorious leader has perished.

1495
02:17:25,600 --> 02:17:28,600
But Shadow Son is sent out to hunt Farsight as well.

1496
02:17:28,600 --> 02:17:34,600
She's woken up at first I think to hunt him, and then she conducts the fights on a Grelian Prime and all that.

1497
02:17:34,600 --> 02:17:40,600
And she does find Farsight and she lets him know that she's going to hunt him wherever he goes,

1498
02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:42,600
but she does let him escape and live.

1499
02:17:42,600 --> 02:17:44,600
Thanks Shadow Son.

1500
02:17:44,600 --> 02:17:49,600
She also at the beginning of the expansion destroys a statue of Farsight,

1501
02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:56,600
which Farsight saw in a vision a long time ago when he touches the warp drive on the Scar Lordship.

1502
02:17:56,600 --> 02:17:58,600
So that was a cool little tie-in.

1503
02:17:58,600 --> 02:18:01,600
So after that, Farsight goes back to the Farsight enclaves,

1504
02:18:01,600 --> 02:18:06,600
and the War of Daka continues because the Orcs don't just leave like that.

1505
02:18:06,600 --> 02:18:09,600
They're back and they're having a good time.

1506
02:18:09,600 --> 02:18:14,600
The Alpha Legion is also monitoring all of this because why wouldn't they?

1507
02:18:14,600 --> 02:18:16,600
They're the Alpha Legion and they're there.

1508
02:18:16,600 --> 02:18:18,600
They're just observing going, this is fun. Look at this.

1509
02:18:18,600 --> 02:18:21,600
We are in Arcs of Omen lore now.

1510
02:18:21,600 --> 02:18:24,600
So the new stuff, which is pretty exciting.

1511
02:18:24,600 --> 02:18:27,600
Let's see, Farsight, basically he's just fighting Orcs for a while.

1512
02:18:27,600 --> 02:18:31,600
He sees a vision come out of an Orc weird boy, which is odd,

1513
02:18:31,600 --> 02:18:34,600
and it's just more like corn stuff basically.

1514
02:18:34,600 --> 02:18:39,600
But Nasdreg is the big mech war boss, who's the big bad guy now.

1515
02:18:39,600 --> 02:18:43,600
And Nasdreg is making these things called Pellifragas,

1516
02:18:43,600 --> 02:18:48,600
which from what I can understand is like a portal gun kind of,

1517
02:18:48,600 --> 02:18:50,600
but like on an artillery scale.

1518
02:18:50,600 --> 02:18:53,600
So you choose something and then it teleports it into the warp,

1519
02:18:53,600 --> 02:18:56,600
and he's like mass producing these to just blow up planets

1520
02:18:56,600 --> 02:18:59,600
and teleport chunks of planets into the warp, which is kind of fun.

1521
02:18:59,600 --> 02:19:00,600
That is cool.

1522
02:19:00,600 --> 02:19:05,600
Is that like a reference for there's like a potato battery somewhere here as well?

1523
02:19:05,600 --> 02:19:07,600
It was a gun portal.

1524
02:19:07,600 --> 02:19:08,600
For real.

1525
02:19:08,600 --> 02:19:09,600
Oh man.

1526
02:19:09,600 --> 02:19:11,600
But yeah, the war is still going on.

1527
02:19:11,600 --> 02:19:14,600
Farsight enclaves obviously don't have a lot of resources

1528
02:19:14,600 --> 02:19:18,600
and a lot of reinforcements other than the odd defectors that they get

1529
02:19:18,600 --> 02:19:20,600
and then the generations of Tau that go by,

1530
02:19:20,600 --> 02:19:23,600
because Tau don't live for that long, like I said before.

1531
02:19:23,600 --> 02:19:27,600
Farsight learns of these Pellifragas and launches a Monte-Ca on the planet

1532
02:19:27,600 --> 02:19:29,600
which Nasdreg is on.

1533
02:19:29,600 --> 02:19:32,600
He battles with the orcs for a time and tries to lure Nasdreg out,

1534
02:19:32,600 --> 02:19:37,600
which actually works, but he has this crazy technology

1535
02:19:37,600 --> 02:19:40,600
and he turns it on and he makes this big giant portal

1536
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:44,600
and he teleports, he drives his truck, his like war truck through this portal

1537
02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:49,600
and it lands in the middle of the workshop that Farsight and the eight are invading

1538
02:19:49,600 --> 02:19:51,600
and trying to destroy the Tellifragas.

1539
02:19:51,600 --> 02:19:56,600
They have a big battle and if I remember correctly, Nasdreg is killed by Farsight

1540
02:19:56,600 --> 02:20:00,600
and all the eight are wounded pretty badly, but it works out.

1541
02:20:00,600 --> 02:20:04,600
Unfortunately, before they can retake the planet and destroy all the bad things,

1542
02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:08,600
they discover a fleet of Chaos Space Marines in orbit

1543
02:20:08,600 --> 02:20:12,600
and they have the Ark of Omen, or a Ark of Omen.

1544
02:20:12,600 --> 02:20:16,600
I'm actually, war crime confession, I barely know what the Arks of Omen are.

1545
02:20:16,600 --> 02:20:18,600
I know that they're big ships, but that's about it.

1546
02:20:18,600 --> 02:20:24,600
I think Bastor made them and was like, hey Abaddon, cool ships huh?

1547
02:20:24,600 --> 02:20:29,600
He's like, yeah, and then Absom's like, here, lieutenants have these big ships to do stuff.

1548
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:34,600
Like, pit my ride, but Abaddon's like, yo dog, I hate you wanting an Ark of Omen.

1549
02:20:34,600 --> 02:20:37,600
I got you an Ark and an Omen.

1550
02:20:37,600 --> 02:20:38,600
You get an Ark of Omen.

1551
02:20:38,600 --> 02:20:40,600
And you get an Ark of Omen.

1552
02:20:40,600 --> 02:20:44,600
The Alpha Legion though are posing as Death Watch.

1553
02:20:44,600 --> 02:20:47,600
They're on a Death Watch ship. They've infiltrated it pretty well.

1554
02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:52,600
They're working for this guy called Lord Glass and they're shadowing Farsight.

1555
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:55,600
They want him to go to Arthas Moloch.

1556
02:20:55,600 --> 02:20:59,600
I think they just want him to conduct this big, to get everyone to fight there

1557
02:20:59,600 --> 02:21:05,600
so that the Alpha Legion can go in and steal this key for the Ark of Omen.

1558
02:21:05,600 --> 02:21:10,600
Which also, they're working for Bastor, but also this demon prince guy, Ugalax,

1559
02:21:10,600 --> 02:21:13,600
who has the Ark of Omen is working for Bastor, I thought.

1560
02:21:13,600 --> 02:21:16,600
So I don't really know why Bastor wants the Alpha Legion guys to get the key

1561
02:21:16,600 --> 02:21:18,600
and not Ugalax to get the key.

1562
02:21:18,600 --> 02:21:22,600
Don't ask questions, I guess, it's the Alpha Legion.

1563
02:21:22,600 --> 02:21:23,600
I'm a pharise.

1564
02:21:23,600 --> 02:21:28,600
Yeah, Farsight regrettably leaves because he can't fight all the orcs and the chaos.

1565
02:21:28,600 --> 02:21:31,600
They're already low on manpower. Things aren't going so well.

1566
02:21:31,600 --> 02:21:38,600
He decides that he's going to launch a Khaoyan on both the forces and they're the bait.

1567
02:21:38,600 --> 02:21:41,600
They're going to go to Arthas Moloch and try to lure them in to fight each other.

1568
02:21:41,600 --> 02:21:45,600
And they're going to set their base of operations up on the Star Daos

1569
02:21:45,600 --> 02:21:52,600
as a last resort option to summon all the Khorne demons and just kill everyone, basically.

1570
02:21:52,600 --> 02:21:56,600
He actually sends a message to the Tau Empire, which was really cool.

1571
02:21:56,600 --> 02:22:01,600
He sends it straight to the Ethereals and he offers a surrender of himself

1572
02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:03,600
if they will come and help their people.

1573
02:22:03,600 --> 02:22:08,600
And he begs them and he hopes that they haven't completely abandoned the Tau people,

1574
02:22:08,600 --> 02:22:11,600
even though Farsight has kind of abandoned them.

1575
02:22:11,600 --> 02:22:16,600
So, you know, he offers contrition, says that he'll sacrifice himself

1576
02:22:16,600 --> 02:22:19,600
and offer himself up for surrender if they send aid.

1577
02:22:19,600 --> 02:22:21,600
And he hopes that that works.

1578
02:22:21,600 --> 02:22:26,600
It takes a long time for Tau things to go through space, so he doesn't get to know until a bit later.

1579
02:22:26,600 --> 02:22:31,600
So they head to Arthas Moloch and they set up shop and things really don't go very well.

1580
02:22:31,600 --> 02:22:34,600
It's like a cataclysmic war.

1581
02:22:34,600 --> 02:22:40,600
There's titans and knights and orc gargants and like air fleets and it's crazy.

1582
02:22:40,600 --> 02:22:44,600
Tau are fighting where they can and surviving when they can.

1583
02:22:44,600 --> 02:22:50,600
And people are starting to get a little sus, a little more bloodthirsty than Tau are supposed to,

1584
02:22:50,600 --> 02:22:51,600
which is kind of sketchy.

1585
02:22:51,600 --> 02:22:56,600
Farsight, oh sorry, Oblatai and Bravestorm both take critical damage and are out of the fight.

1586
02:22:56,600 --> 02:23:00,600
Oblatai is an AI, so it doesn't really matter that much.

1587
02:23:00,600 --> 02:23:05,600
But Bravestorm has to be taken out of his Iridium battlesuit in his life support system

1588
02:23:05,600 --> 02:23:08,600
and placed in stasis until they can get him a new one.

1589
02:23:08,600 --> 02:23:13,600
And the seventh generation of Brightsword is killed as he sacrifices himself.

1590
02:23:13,600 --> 02:23:16,600
So they have to make a new clone later on, but that hasn't happened yet.

1591
02:23:16,600 --> 02:23:22,600
Farsight gets a message back from the Aetherials and they say no, unsurprisingly, because they're kind of jerks.

1592
02:23:22,600 --> 02:23:24,600
And Farsight is not happy, to say the least.

1593
02:23:24,600 --> 02:23:30,600
He gets flashes of anger and like murder and like killing the Aetherials and this makes him feel good.

1594
02:23:30,600 --> 02:23:36,600
He's throughout the time on Arthas Moloch, the Tau are seemingly being corrupted by Khorne, which is neat.

1595
02:23:36,600 --> 02:23:43,600
Throughout the whole Arcs of Omen book there's really wacky pictures of Tau with weird mechanical bits coming out of them

1596
02:23:43,600 --> 02:23:47,600
and they're screaming and they're looking all chaos-y. It's cool.

1597
02:23:47,600 --> 02:23:53,600
Farsight also has a new battlesuit at this point, which is called a Supernova battlesuit.

1598
02:23:53,600 --> 02:23:57,600
It still has his Coldstar AI in it, she just has a new name now.

1599
02:23:57,600 --> 02:24:04,600
I don't really know what it does, but he has the amulet of Arthas Moloch, the hexagramaton thing, in his battlesuit, which is neat.

1600
02:24:04,600 --> 02:24:08,600
Still using the sword, because the sword is cool and he likes it. Why would he get rid of it?

1601
02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:15,600
So, now after getting this news of the Aetherials, he's very angry and he does a whole bunch of stuff,

1602
02:24:15,600 --> 02:24:22,600
so I'll read this little paragraph from the book because he does, I don't know, it kind of shows off how good of a warrior he actually is.

1603
02:24:22,600 --> 02:24:23,600
Let's see.

1604
02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:27,600
On a more personal level, O'Shova's anger saw him lead the most dangerous offensive.

1605
02:24:27,600 --> 02:24:34,600
Never one to command from the rear lines, still Farsight's sheer aggression bred disquiet amongst those who had known him longest,

1606
02:24:34,600 --> 02:24:38,600
even as it inspired his line warriors to greater heights of aggression.

1607
02:24:38,600 --> 02:24:45,600
It was Farsight who met Sledrak, the swordsman, blade to blade amidst the burning wrecks of the Gull Tor Offensive

1608
02:24:45,600 --> 02:24:47,600
and lopped off the Sleneshu Champion's head.

1609
02:24:47,600 --> 02:24:52,600
It was Farsight too who cut his way onto the command bridge of Captain Freyja Stompa,

1610
02:24:52,600 --> 02:25:00,600
Direkka, and drenched the war engine's controls in the warboss's blood, fighting his way to the heart of the traitor's Vostok 816th

1611
02:25:00,600 --> 02:25:07,600
and hacking down their commanding tyrant, felling Baroness Nykdarr's nightly steed, Infernal Turmentor,

1612
02:25:07,600 --> 02:25:15,600
then claiming Nykdarr's head, serving as the lure to draw warboss Dakbad Badaka into a murderous Tau Crossfire.

1613
02:25:15,600 --> 02:25:24,600
Farsight was ever at the forefront of the fighting, and the crimson hue of his bow soothed little to hide the blood that spattered it from sensor head to toe.

1614
02:25:24,600 --> 02:25:25,600
Damn.

1615
02:25:25,600 --> 02:25:27,600
So he's bullying pretty hard.

1616
02:25:27,600 --> 02:25:32,600
Was this all in like an 80s montage where like the music was blaring?

1617
02:25:32,600 --> 02:25:34,600
Jesus Christ.

1618
02:25:34,600 --> 02:25:35,600
Brutal.

1619
02:25:35,600 --> 02:25:42,600
Yeah, so Farsight's ramping it up a bit and he's starting to get a little too fond of fighting, I think, and a little too bloodthirsty.

1620
02:25:42,600 --> 02:25:47,600
Let's see, the Tau actually finds the key though for the Ark of Omen.

1621
02:25:47,600 --> 02:25:50,600
The Alpha Legion guys have coordinates already.

1622
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:54,600
Ooh, Glahax doesn't know where it is, so he's just looking.

1623
02:25:54,600 --> 02:25:57,600
By the way, I think he's part of the Black Legion.

1624
02:25:57,600 --> 02:26:00,600
Well, maybe not. He's just a guy, I think.

1625
02:26:00,600 --> 02:26:04,600
But he has world leaders and thousand suns and word bearers with him.

1626
02:26:04,600 --> 02:26:10,600
So this is like a very sizable force of Chaos Space Marines and a very sizable force of Orbs.

1627
02:26:10,600 --> 02:26:15,600
So it is like a classic apocalypse war with all the crazy stuff going on.

1628
02:26:15,600 --> 02:26:22,600
The Tau find it though. They don't know what it is, so they just leave it there because, you know, they're busy fighting this desperate war.

1629
02:26:22,600 --> 02:26:28,600
So the stealth teams just like leave and, I don't know, kind of quarantine it off so they don't touch that because it's all crystal-y and gross looking.

1630
02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:31,600
But the Alpha Legion guys hear this up in space.

1631
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:36,600
They kill the Royalist Deathwatch guys that they're with and go down to the planet and take the key and leave.

1632
02:26:36,600 --> 02:26:38,600
And that's it for their story.

1633
02:26:38,600 --> 02:26:44,600
Far Sight starts to realize that this is their last chance to survive the war.

1634
02:26:44,600 --> 02:26:56,600
So he orders a retreat to the Stardaeus where they all get picked up by the Aircast and ferried off as their carry-on is done and they're getting the two forces to fight each other.

1635
02:26:56,600 --> 02:27:03,600
The retreat goes kind of badly though because the Tau are en masse seemingly being corrupted by Chaos, at least a little bit.

1636
02:27:03,600 --> 02:27:10,600
Because it describes how the Tau are unusually bloodthirsty and unlike them they're letting the flow get very close.

1637
02:27:10,600 --> 02:27:16,600
And some even break ranks and like charge into battle against world eaters, corn berserkers, which is insane.

1638
02:27:16,600 --> 02:27:20,600
They obviously lose immediately, but you wouldn't expect that from a Tau.

1639
02:27:20,600 --> 02:27:25,600
Start saying hooves for the Hoove Guard. What are you talking about? What are you doing?

1640
02:27:25,600 --> 02:27:33,600
It's like a teddy bear charging like a fully grown adult and it's just getting like, you know, a spiral and kicks it as far as you can.

1641
02:27:33,600 --> 02:27:36,600
Hey man, they gave their all. They tried.

1642
02:27:36,600 --> 02:27:38,600
They did in fact try.

1643
02:27:38,600 --> 02:27:40,600
They probably shouldn't have tried, but they tried.

1644
02:27:40,600 --> 02:27:50,600
Yeah, the Tau are, it is pretty subtle. Arthas Mala clearly has an effect on the Tau and the Warp clearly can touch Tau even if they don't really know, they don't know what it is yet.

1645
02:27:50,600 --> 02:27:58,600
They still think it's mind science. They still use the words mind science. So, Far Sight still doesn't completely understand chaos even though he knows it exists.

1646
02:27:58,600 --> 02:28:00,600
Oh yeah.

1647
02:28:00,600 --> 02:28:10,600
I have a quick question. Do you think that's because the Far Sight enclaves are not necessarily oppressed by the Ethereals?

1648
02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:15,600
That they're a bit more, like obviously you have to feel more emotion to be connected to the Warp.

1649
02:28:15,600 --> 02:28:21,600
So do you think maybe the Far Sight enclaves, the Tau who live in that are a bit more emotional?

1650
02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:24,600
So maybe there's a bit more of a pull there, maybe, Eli?

1651
02:28:24,600 --> 02:28:30,600
Yeah, I can see that. They're not under the influence of the Tau Va, which is seemingly its own Warp entity.

1652
02:28:30,600 --> 02:28:39,600
I like the idea that the freer they get, the more susceptible they are to corruption from chaos. Like, ah, we're not being controlled by the Ethereals. Who wants this? Mmm, chaos.

1653
02:28:39,600 --> 02:28:50,600
That's the whole idea behind Imperials' Elytry. Like, they pray to the Emperor so that they can't hear whatever else is going to whisper at them.

1654
02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:59,600
You don't get to vary back and forth between the Emperor's and God's, but also, no, it's not this. No, it doesn't work like that. You gotta pick one. It's one or the other.

1655
02:28:59,600 --> 02:29:11,600
In the Dean's Sericults, I'm pretty sure the guy said that they pray to the Emperor so they don't hear the voices of everything else that talks to them. It's pretty important to be a Zealot in the Imperium.

1656
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:18,600
Otherwise, if they weren't all Zealots, the entire system would crumble and they'd turn to chaos and fight for Tau.

1657
02:29:18,600 --> 02:29:24,600
But there's your answer to all the people who wonder why the Imperium is so zealous. It's actually quite necessary.

1658
02:29:24,600 --> 02:29:31,600
We go now to the final battle on the Star Dias, which the Tau have been leading their enemies to.

1659
02:29:31,600 --> 02:29:41,600
And Farsight waits till the last second and lets the World Eaters and Orcs close in on the Dias as they shed blood, demons appear once again, and start causing carnage.

1660
02:29:41,600 --> 02:29:49,600
Farsight has a literal demon prince moment though. And let's see, we can read that, because it's cool.

1661
02:29:49,600 --> 02:29:54,600
Sure, sure, we'll read like a couple paragraphs here.

1662
02:30:19,600 --> 02:30:27,600
The King of the Dias for aid crackled, tinny and feeble, through the Cadranet, and he desired nothing more than to tear his way out of his command cocoon to escape them.

1663
02:30:27,600 --> 02:30:35,600
He leapt and fought, hacked and cut, yet even as Begel and Goyla and Malachites all fell beneath his blade, still Farsight's rage grew.

1664
02:30:35,600 --> 02:30:40,600
There would be no retreat. What right did his followers have to expect salvation from him?

1665
02:30:40,600 --> 02:30:48,600
He saw many of them, through the swirling smoke and the thunder of blossoming explosions, laying down hails of fire or charging madly into their own fights.

1666
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:54,600
He was glad. Let the strong survive, Farsight thought. Perhaps he would be worthy to fight on in his shadow.

1667
02:30:54,600 --> 02:31:01,600
He meanwhile would finally fight only for himself. He would fight alone, the way of the Monat, the army of one.

1668
02:31:01,600 --> 02:31:05,600
It was that thought that cut through the blood madness clawing Farsight's mind.

1669
02:31:05,600 --> 02:31:16,600
World Commander Pyrtide had three great pupils, Oshuzaer the cunning huntress, Oshova the swift keen blade, Kais the loner, the one who stood and fought apart from even his own Talarissa bondmates.

1670
02:31:16,600 --> 02:31:26,600
Farsight had never understood Kais's methods and had always pitied the lone Talon on some level, for he would never understand the bonds of loyalty or duty that gave battle his purpose.

1671
02:31:26,600 --> 02:31:28,600
And then Farsight felt all better.

1672
02:31:28,600 --> 02:31:30,600
Yay.

1673
02:31:30,600 --> 02:31:33,600
He drank the khalnate kool-aid.

1674
02:31:33,600 --> 02:31:40,600
It's cool that he just was like, no, I'm ignoring the corn thoughts in my head, I'm ignoring the corruption, it can go away now.

1675
02:31:40,600 --> 02:31:49,600
Before this though, he has a vision where the Dawnblade is replaced by a colossal axe more befitting his station.

1676
02:31:49,600 --> 02:31:59,600
As a bloody handed lord of war, skulls rattled on chains against his gore caked armor, amongst them those of every ethereal who had ever lied to him or his people.

1677
02:31:59,600 --> 02:32:02,600
That would be pretty cool to hear.

1678
02:32:02,600 --> 02:32:04,600
I wonder where that vision came from.

1679
02:32:04,600 --> 02:32:11,600
So yeah, we see Farsight very very much by corn in this book in the Arks of Omen, which is pretty cool.

1680
02:32:11,600 --> 02:32:21,600
And it's cool to see that he resists it, otherwise he would just get turned into a demon prince chaos lord and he would be less of a good guy than he is, which would kind of suck.

1681
02:32:21,600 --> 02:32:26,600
I don't know, as cool as chaos is, in the end they're still just slaves to the dark gods, you gotta admit.

1682
02:32:26,600 --> 02:32:27,600
Not Farsight though.

1683
02:32:27,600 --> 02:32:37,600
That's right. They do escape Arthas Molloc though, thankfully, and he orders his eight, well five at this point, because three are wounded or dead.

1684
02:32:37,600 --> 02:32:43,600
And he tells them that they're not allowed to fight anymore because they're also losing it to the bloodlust.

1685
02:32:43,600 --> 02:32:50,600
And they ferry off all the fire warriors and fire cast that they can and get off the planet.

1686
02:32:50,600 --> 02:32:57,600
And then, you know, I believe the orcs release a big warp blast on the Stardaeus and destroy it.

1687
02:32:57,600 --> 02:33:09,600
And later they come back after a long time, because they actually see the Chaos Space Marines leaving the system, as I guess they discover that the key isn't there anymore.

1688
02:33:09,600 --> 02:33:14,600
So they leave the town Arth Pursued and the orcs follow the Chaos Space Marines to battle them.

1689
02:33:14,600 --> 02:33:20,600
So they get out pretty unscathed in the end, other than the bajillion casualties they take on the planet.

1690
02:33:20,600 --> 02:33:27,600
It's like the idea of the orcs just being like, where are you going? Come back! We haven't finished fighting yet, come on!

1691
02:33:27,600 --> 02:33:33,600
Yeah. So things work out in the end. It wasn't like his very pure victory for Farsight.

1692
02:33:33,600 --> 02:33:41,600
But him and the Enclave do survive to fight another day, and they think they're kind of always struggling and clinging to life for what they can.

1693
02:33:41,600 --> 02:33:45,600
I don't know, I guess Anshi needs to send them some more help, that'd be nice.

1694
02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:49,600
But they do go back to Arthas Moloch again after everything is destroyed.

1695
02:33:49,600 --> 02:34:02,600
And I think Farsight just wants clarity, because Oveza asks him, like, why don't we just send the Earthcast and we can, you know, take our life signs and investigate these anomalous life signs and energy spectrum, whatever.

1696
02:34:02,600 --> 02:34:05,600
But Farsight doesn't want to. I think he wants closure.

1697
02:34:05,600 --> 02:34:08,600
And he feels that something about the planet has changed.

1698
02:34:08,600 --> 02:34:17,600
He goes back and he finds the star Dyas destroyed and a weight is lifted off of his shoulders, because there's no more demonic corruption on the planet, it seems.

1699
02:34:17,600 --> 02:34:27,600
In the time though, time does seem to move faster, or decay moves faster on the planet, and they find the war gear to be rusted and all the bodies to be like completely decomposed.

1700
02:34:27,600 --> 02:34:39,600
In the end, in an orc skull, he finds a little green sprout of plant and he starts to find them in more places around the planet. So there is still hope for Arthas Moloch and the Farsight enclaves.

1701
02:34:39,600 --> 02:34:41,600
And that's all. The end.

1702
02:34:41,600 --> 02:34:45,600
Ooh, damn, he's been through a lot.

1703
02:34:45,600 --> 02:34:58,600
I think his story is quite, it's weird to say about a Xenos, but he feels very, like a lot of the characters in Warhammer are pretty, and then he just giga-chatted up and then he just won the day.

1704
02:34:58,600 --> 02:35:01,600
Whereas Farsight feels like he just struggles with it.

1705
02:35:01,600 --> 02:35:16,600
He's always, he doesn't always, it's nice that he doesn't always win, and he's always actually human. It's a bit bizarre to compliment him that way, but he feels very human. Like an actual battle rather than a one sided slap.

1706
02:35:16,600 --> 02:35:19,600
He's an actual character, not an archetype of his faction.

1707
02:35:19,600 --> 02:35:20,600
Yeah.

1708
02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:31,600
He's not, you know, it's not, this is a, you know, a white scar. He is this, this and this. Does he have other character traits? No, they're all the same person, just with different names.

1709
02:35:31,600 --> 02:35:33,600
How dare you.

1710
02:35:33,600 --> 02:35:37,600
Wicked jab at my beloved white scars. How dare you.

1711
02:35:37,600 --> 02:35:42,600
Name one character that isn't fast in the white scars.

1712
02:35:42,600 --> 02:35:43,600
Oh wait.

1713
02:35:43,600 --> 02:35:48,600
Moving on.

1714
02:35:48,600 --> 02:36:02,600
That was a, that was really good though. Thank you. That was, I think definitely, because I'm having to tackle Farsight myself in the future and I'm hype, because his story is pretty, pretty good isn't it though.

1715
02:36:02,600 --> 02:36:11,600
I think compared to a lot of the characters we talk about here, they're like, oh, like a lot of characters are neat, but Farsight is probably like now top 10 for me, I'd say.

1716
02:36:11,600 --> 02:36:20,600
I do have a question though about Tao and the relation of Farsight, like, because you've covered obviously a lot of lore about Farsight.

1717
02:36:20,600 --> 02:36:26,600
How much, if you were to approximate a percentage of all the lore there is for the Tao, how much of it is just Farsight?

1718
02:36:26,600 --> 02:36:30,600
Probably like literally half their lore.

1719
02:36:30,600 --> 02:36:34,600
I might not be completely right, but at least like 33%, I'd say.

1720
02:36:34,600 --> 02:36:36,600
A very noticeable chunk.

1721
02:36:36,600 --> 02:36:38,600
Yeah.

1722
02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:44,600
He's like the, he's the contrast. He is the depth though within that faction for people.

1723
02:36:44,600 --> 02:36:55,600
He's the only other side of the coin, because the Tao side of the coin has like all their bunch of different characters so they can't focus on them as much, I guess, right?

1724
02:36:55,600 --> 02:37:01,600
Tao have been getting a lot more love in the lore lately, I feel like though, they've gotten a lot of books and stuff.

1725
02:37:01,600 --> 02:37:14,600
Well, we appreciate the, or hopefully people who like Farsight or like Tao have been appreciating the massive lore dump that we have just given them in their laps, because that was, oh.

1726
02:37:14,600 --> 02:37:15,600
Hefty.

1727
02:37:15,600 --> 02:37:18,600
Hefty. I hope you guys have enjoyed it so far.

1728
02:37:18,600 --> 02:37:26,600
And if you, you want to leave this and you'll know exactly everything about Farsight, I think, which is too fair.

1729
02:37:26,600 --> 02:37:35,600
I think we did a good job in the last section. We did it. Eli did it. So, drop a comment below for people who enjoyed that.

1730
02:37:35,600 --> 02:37:46,600
Next time guys, I think we're doing a little bit special something next time, aren't we, Colin? Would you care to discuss the next topic?

1731
02:37:46,600 --> 02:37:56,600
Well, it's just that I have a confession and an apology as to what's coming next.

1732
02:37:56,600 --> 02:38:09,600
The confession is that while Warhammer Fantasy is probably my favorite fantasy setting, 40K is not my favorite science fiction setting.

1733
02:38:09,600 --> 02:38:24,600
The apology is, if you're hoping for anything resembling unbiased debate, you're going to be disappointed, because we're going out on a new journey with our first versus episode.

1734
02:38:24,600 --> 02:38:29,600
You'll see, you'll get more information about that when it comes out.

1735
02:38:29,600 --> 02:38:36,600
And what we'll be doing is the Spartan IIs versus the Space Marines.

1736
02:38:36,600 --> 02:38:45,600
And yeah, nothing but bias here. I'm not even going to pretend like I'm going to hide that fact.

1737
02:38:45,600 --> 02:38:50,600
It's going to be an argument. An argument between friends. At least one.

1738
02:38:50,600 --> 02:39:01,600
Oh, always heating up. Just remember everyone. Space Marines die in droves, but Spartans never die. They just go missing in action.

1739
02:39:01,600 --> 02:39:06,600
Propaganda. Propaganda. I've seen Noble Sixes go out like...

1740
02:39:06,600 --> 02:39:11,600
Oh no, that's only for Spartan IIs. Spartan IIIs are fucking disposable.

1741
02:39:11,600 --> 02:39:16,600
Alright, George died on the ship. He blew up. He was a Spartan II.

1742
02:39:16,600 --> 02:39:19,600
And then George teleported away.

1743
02:39:19,600 --> 02:39:24,600
Even if he had a magnificent moustache, it doesn't count.

1744
02:39:24,600 --> 02:39:31,600
He did technically teleport away. It was a slipspace bomb. Just teleported to hell.

1745
02:39:31,600 --> 02:39:38,600
Yikes. Well, all this and more. We'll save this for our next video.

1746
02:39:38,600 --> 02:39:42,600
Thank you all for listening. Hope you all enjoyed it.

1747
02:39:42,600 --> 02:39:55,600
If you want to see more of the Xenos, sorry, Xenos don't really get the most amount of love in Warhammer, but if you want to see more Xenos factions or more characters in that area, please let us know in the comments below.

1748
02:39:55,600 --> 02:39:58,600
I beg of you, please. More Xenos.

1749
02:39:58,600 --> 02:40:00,600
Eldar. Eldar.

1750
02:40:00,600 --> 02:40:04,600
I think Farseid probably has the most love out of all Xenos in the game.

1751
02:40:04,600 --> 02:40:06,600
Probably.

1752
02:40:06,600 --> 02:40:10,600
And we just, we want to celebrate that because he deserves it 100%.

1753
02:40:10,600 --> 02:40:14,600
Shout out to the Yanari for getting no love. Negative love.

1754
02:40:14,600 --> 02:40:16,600
Pain. Pain.

1755
02:40:16,600 --> 02:40:18,600
And the Avatar of Cain.

1756
02:40:18,600 --> 02:40:20,600
Alright.

1757
02:40:20,600 --> 02:40:24,600
Avatar of Cain, more like Avatar of Cuck.

1758
02:40:24,600 --> 02:40:27,600
Avatar of Lame was right there.

1759
02:40:27,600 --> 02:40:29,600
And you like the cuck.

1760
02:40:29,600 --> 02:40:33,600
If this is what the first episode is going to be like, I'm winning handily.

1761
02:40:33,600 --> 02:40:40,600
Okay. Thank you all so much for watching and listening and we'll catch you all next time.

1762
02:40:40,600 --> 02:40:43,600
Bye, love you. Peace. Take care everyone.

1763
02:40:43,600 --> 02:41:09,600
Oh dear.

1764
02:41:13,600 --> 02:41:15,600
Bye.
