Compare it to every other faction who will straight up kill you and have even more authoritarian government.

>>51153971
Well there are unambiguous bad guys but Imperium, eldar, necrons, arguably orks are all shades of grey.

>>51153911

I swear Castor better come back

Or Stubbs

>>51154027
The necrons were still "kill everything" levels of bad guys at the time.

>>51154027
Honestly, I'd argue that Orks are grey simply because I think they're too stupid to realize what they're doing. They're basically big dumb animals following the genetic programming that's hard-wired into their brains. They literally don't know better than to act the way they do.

>>51154102

Freebootzas must have been wired wrong since they seem to be able to make deals

>>51154027
Having all the factions be evil would be fine if 40k was still tongue-in-cheek. Since GW started making it 99% serious, some contrast is imo welcome

>>51154137
Shades of grey are very important for a serious setting imo, making tau the good guys just cheapens the idea that the universe is so harsh that you have to compromise some values, or you simply have to fight a constant war to uphold them (like corruption within the imperium).

DE, tyranids and chaos, have no shades of any color whatsoever, do you have problem with them also? I think you already said that you don't when it comes to chaos, but then, why them being clearly bad is ok and tau being (in this argument) clearly good is not?

>>51154334
Tyranids are only bad from a non tyranid point of view.
I guess it's because the evil of the DE and Chaos comes from completely embracing their flaws and deciding to shit everything up rather than to be perfect and virtuous like the tau.

No faction is bad from this faction's point of view dude. And tau aren't 'perfect and virtuous' for the sake of it, they do the stuff the way the do it because they find it the most effective way to accomplish they goals (building an empire). It's the same for every other faction - DE raid, rape, and do drugs because they know no other way of keeping themselves alive, not for the sake of being edgy

They know of another way, all the other eldar are doing it.

>>51154592
Commoragh is a fucking hellhole, living under the dark eldar is objectively the worst option for an eldar.
the same goes for chaos, they pretty much worship misery and despair and worship of chaos doesn't actually benefit anyone except the chaos gods (MAYBE, they'll give you a boon) but the vast majority will just be used up and spat out to destroy their own species.

Every other faction is trying to expand their influence, sometimes their empires as well. If the tau somehow find that the best way is to be extremely virtuous then that's just the way it was written, it doesn't cheapen the action, they could just as easily genocide every one they come up against and populate their planets with more tau.
The problem with tau is that not only are they the good guys for tau, but they're also the good guys from the point of view of every other species as well. They also have the best tactics, rapidly innovating technology etc.
It just fucking grinds my gears because they make every other faction look like shit in comparison.

>>51154516
That line of logic falls apart once you remember that they started worshiping the LITERAL FUCKING DEVILS of their setting to accomplish those goals. There's not much objective good in 40k, but there's a lot of objective evil, and Chaos is as evil as it gets. Regardless of their prior intentions, they went off the deep end.

>>51154655
Well, yea, they know another way exists, though whether they don't make use of it is because they don't have the same technology as the other eldar (as far as I know DE don't make use of wraithbone and don't have infinite circuits), are too arrogant in their ways to change, or refuse to let go of the lives as eldar rather than souls trapped in a piece of modern art, my point still stands: they do what they do because considering they resources and goals, it is the best way of accomplishing it, and that goal is not 'be edgy'. Every faction in 40k has some other goal, than 'do the stuff you do in the most 'you' way possible'. Tau are no exception

>>51154516
Except that the transition from soldier to administrator isn't strange at all. What use has a soldier for blood that grants long life to the drinker?

I'm pretty sure the only species that view the tau as the good guys are the ones that join their empire, not the actual factions of the setting. And sure, 40k is poorly written, that's for sure. Still, it's silly to say that there is no in-universe reason for the tau to behave like they do other than that they wanting to be 'good'

>>51154985
what i noticed , there are a lot of voice lines that never got used in the games (fix bayonets/pull out your knifes) probably from game mechanics that were never used. kinda sad.

>>51149694
WETNESS YOUR DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!

>>51155069
Every species that doesn't simply live for war, should view the tau as benevolent because they are. Under this lore, anyone who fights for the imperium is fighting for the imperium, not humanity. Most humans are going to be better off under the tau empire and the same goes for every other race, even the eldar should view the tau as good simply because they're friendly and willing to help.
And again, it doesn't matter WHY the tau do the things they do, what matters is that they ARE good.

>>51155197
Yea, they should, still, apart from some of the eldar, they don't, cause little in the setting makes sense. Other than that, we'll just have to agree to disagree, because for me me it does not matter that some factions in 40k ARE good, as long as the reason WHY they do it makes sense in-universe. After all, I have never seen any fluff in which tau consider themselves morally better than others, only better as in more efficient; and every faction considers itself to be the one in the right without ever questioning it's morality.
All I was arguing about, though, was that as long as it is ok to have purely evil factions I don't see why it shouldn't be ok to have purely good factions considering that nowadays GW wants the setting to be serious

>>51154739
>The problem with tau is that not only are they the good guys for tau, but they're also the good guys from the point of view of every other species as well.

>Those from the Imperium that don't want to kill them think that the Tau are too strict and a bit arrogant.
>The Eldar's opinions of them are between just another group of mon'keigh to well-intentioned morons. (only Eldrad see potential on them)

>Orks think they are too squishy with lame dakka.

Daemons are manifestations of all of our strongest emotions and desires. If Chaos is an evil, it is an honest one, which is better than a mask on a throne with a gossamer-thin layer of gold on it.

That said, it's more like everyone in 40k is a shade of black and tau are sorta grey if you ignore that their entire "peaceful" empire is built on lies, manipulation, propaganda, and selective but secretive ethnic cleansing.

I never once called it a parody, don't put words in my mouth. I just said it was never once meant to be taken seriously.

If I was being more specific, I'd have called it a goddamn joke. It's poorly written Dune fanfiction splattered with 80's metal album art and whatever else nerds in the day thought would be "radicool".

That's how you get retarded shit like Nightlord Darkbad Hammerskull perched atop his Murderthrone in the highest room of his Blighttower, which resides next to the most raging Bloodriver of all the Spookyzone as he plots how to kill Lord-Knight Sortagood Skullhammer, most devout and skilled Genocide Templar of all the Crusadecimators.

And if you take that shit seriously, then you've got some serious autism issues to work through.

dow, dark crusade and (with extreme reservations) soulstorm set the bar for voice acting in 40k gaming.
