PodCaste- A Warhammer 40k Podcast

This is a debate style episode where our community at Tau 40.000, https://discord.gg/4fyJjsPX, discuss Farsight and our opinions on the big red commander.

Enjoy!

Our exciting conclusion to the research done into Commander Farsight (definitely not going to be the last).

Something to consider as you listen:

Each must find their own way. If those in our heartland had witnessed the savageries of the void as have we they would know this. The hand of each of the starfarers is turned against the other; none will join their strength together just to see their ancient enemies prosper. Neither should we.

Welcome! This is a new type of episode that we're generating by tackling singular topics for a quick informative session that can be listened to in between our longer discussions. For this one, we discuss what a Sept is (since there's a little confusion even canonically). We draw from the following sources:

-Battlefleet Gothic: Armada

-The Eye of Terror Worldwide Campaign booklet

-Codex Tau

-Codex Tau Empire (4th Edition)

We're very excited to bring up Farsight with the group. Calmsword started off extremely skeptical of the big red Shas'O and, by the end of this series, he kind of becomes my favorite in terms of the narrative created over the last twenty years. In this episode we discuss his early years, and, what lead him to be chosen to launch the reclamation for the Commonwealth after the Damocles Crusade.

Enjoy!

The Imperial Crusade pulls back from Dal'yth, forced into a rare ceasefire with an alien race. Farsight rises to prominence, leading the largest reclamation force the Empire has ever mustered while Gue'vesa flood into the Septs.

It's a great episode to start warming up to more 'modern' Tau.

We also discuss this article about Gue'vesa from their creator, Andy Hoare: http://web.archive.org/web/20080420071331/http://uk.games-workshop.com/tau/tau-auxiliaries/

Enjoy!

The interim period between Second and Third Spheres. We talk about the addition of Imperial veterans to the Fire Caste and the rise of Farsight. A good episode to start thinking about what made the Tau the T'au.

We referencerrr

We're in the midst of figuring out how best to record people on three different continents and apparently we sound like we were all huffing helium.

So this is the new version- with suitably deep baritone voices for the participants.

We tackle the Second Sphere and its conclusion during the Damocles Crusade, also called the "Lithesh War", and setup that fan favorite Shas'O Farsight Shovah for the next episode for his reclamation of those worlds lost to the Imperials.

Enjoy!

We discuss the Second Sphere and its fateful end in the Lithesh War (Also called the first Damocles Crusade). It's an important step in understanding the Tau, understanding the earliest difficulties against the Arachen, the Reek and the ever present Ork threat. As they further their holdings, they'll spread out beyond the Stellar Cluster and into the Imperial subsector of Timbra finally catching the eye of the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy which will petition the Crusade to purge those worlds that have allied with the Tau.

It's exciting stuff; join us!

This is a longer one so, perfect for getting some painting done.

This week we get start getting into more detailed historical events for the Tau. From the chaotic and volatile age of war known as the Mont'au and those early formative years where the Tau coalesced into a vibrant nation state that took to the stars, to those first wars against the Orks and the Nicassar. The Tau, with the guidance of the Ethereals, realize their place in the universe; as unifiers. Perhaps this is hubris, or the audacity of hope, or the natural psychological conclusion for a race that seems to have begun their evolution as ungulate plains dwellers, either way, these are the golden years for the Tau.

Enjoy!

Welcome to our first official episode!

We're going to dive into who the Tau are, what they're early history might have been like and have a general discussion after Calmsword gives a Ted Talk (Tau Talk) style introduction. This pod cast is in no way affiliated with Games Workshop and is the work of a community of enthusiasts who have come together to celebrate their love of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Enjoy!
