Really want to see a chaos force sack that space station.
Actually really any chaos/tau interaction would be fun but they’re generally too small a group for chaos to interact with them.
There is a Warp rift to the north of the Empire, Tau interact with chaos more than you think.
Where is the fluff for it?
Also what even resides in that tiny rift?
The few times I’ve read about tau and chaos they act like it is something they have never even heard of before. They go crazy. There was a water cast who went from greater good to kill all human in 2 seconds after seeing possession.
Though I can really think of only 2 stories where they meet; the novelization of the fire warrior video game and that one where they are in a stalemate with humans.
Are you talking about Arthas Molac that rift was closed by farsight as he is the only tau warrior to actuallly look into the warp and live this is when he found out the ethereals knew about the warp.
That is the reason he left the empire.
In my opinion the ethereals are either eldar creations or tzeench demons
Too bad the game was wildly imbalanced. I left after my Orks became unbeatable with Zzap spam.
I know, the game is still fun and full of nostalgia on hard settings in Skirmish though!
I’ve played a bit with the Tau fleet and they are nice generalists.
