Ok sounds cool, and we can also come up with some fun forestes; giant redwood trees, alien trees, super dense forests, etc

>>53107820
What is the Ethereal Caste presence/adherence to Greater Good?(d10)

Since we are farsight enclaves, should we just go with

>No presence/Questioning adherence to Greater Good

On this table?

>>53107827
I think being farsight enclaves that goes without saying

I also think that gives us some really, really cool potential.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>53107989
okay let's do this
but we should make some color sheme for our sept

Sounds to me like you guys rolled up a Sept that has gone native.

I can already imagine Guevesa explaining to the Firewarriors all (what limited knowledge Imperial citizens are taught) about demons, heresy and Chaos.

Hell, imagine the Firewarriors running around with crude purity seals, and setting up improvised Inquisition cells.

>>53108004
Would these colors work with our sept?

>>53108007
but the gue vesa don't know about the demons and praticly not about chaos
only the comissar and the Inquisition know about that
but maybe we succeded in enroling a Comissar ?

>>53108033
well let's take a look at our environement
what kind of Forest do we have ?

>>53108044
What kind of forest do we want to have?

>>53108034
Imperials know that Chaos is bad, and that it is a creeping cancer that's really bad.

The edges of the Tau empire are also continiously raided by Chaos pirates and Dark Eldar, so they'll learn enough about Chaos as time goes on.

>>53108047
i think a european/germanic forest would be nice (pine, oak darker shade of green, a bit of brown

>>53108056
We could also go into the alien forest and just go wild with our imagination

>>53108063
that too

They don't need to know a lot.

They just need to know that Chaos is bad, that it's real, that it is magical, and that the Ethereals are fucking retards for not believing it.

Alternatively, they think the Ethereals are filthy lying shits for hiding the truth about Chaos.

>>53108122
dubs confirm
so we grey knight /ordo malleus ?

What shall we call the sept?

>>53108254
Yo'Rosh'Ku

>>53108132
That would mean they'd know what they were doing.

Imagine it more like a team of Dark Heresy-style Inquisitorial henchmen. Just without an Inquisitor leading them. And without any kind of guidance.

>>53108424
well then
do we cooperate with the ordo hereticus/Malleus then ?
or do we shot everyone who look relatively funny

>>53108477
Xenos and traitors cooperating with the Ordo Hereticus/Malleus? Hahahaha, no that's not going to happen.

>or do we shot everyone who look relatively funny
Yes.

The Inquisition is bad - but mob rule is even worse. And that's basically the kind of "Inquisition" you're getting now.

>>53108488
maybe we have a rogue commissar that lead the Gue'vesa team and thus, be able to tell the sign of Chaos ?

>>53108520
I like the idea of a couple of Inquisitors/Commissars leading a Cadre with plenty of Gue'vesa to purge Chaos where the Imprerium cannot. After all, Chaos is the biggest threat/impending doom of the hour.

The fuck is this about chaos? Chaos is nowhere in the rolls. Stop talking about chaos. We got fucking forest hunters to fluff out

I vote for making them like Prussian Jaeger's.

>>53108588
You can have Commisars giving some limited control over the mob rule, but Inquisitors walking around is going a bridge too far.

Inquisitors would just bail on the Tau, because they know better than running around with a bunch of idiots that know nothing about the Warp.

>>53108613
I'm on this, they can aid the Tau who are probably using their Patient Hunter philosophy

>>53108613
If you are running a Tau Sept with lots of humans, you're gonna get Chaos along with it.

That's how it works mate.

The rolls said a small number of guevesa and this hasn't been a problem with any other guevesa populations yet. Farsight probably knows quite a bit more than your average Tau anyway and likely informs his men accordingly

Anyway, submitting Jaeger uniform idea.

What I'm thinking is the humans take the place of Kroot for these Tau, working to flush enemies with carbines and shotguns while Tau riflemen provide fire support with battle suits being highly mobile artillery. Hammer and anvil flush and fire WW2 stuff.

Or maybe the PDF's corrupt and overly brutal commissariat was the straw that broke the camels back and sent the PDF into full rebellion.

At that point all the Tau had to do was show up, offer to help, take some prisoners, and have an interrogator who's really good at their job.

Wham bam this Cadre now knows about Chaos. Well, more than most but not all, I guess.

Infraredwood trees. Their metabolism is more efficient at high temperature so under the bark they're REALLY hot, and the leaves glow bright in infrared.

Tau have learned from the Gue'vesa to extract a high-energy syrup that heals would, produces a 'battle high' in high doses, and tastes amazing on space waffles.

You just invented Amerifat corn-syrup addicted obese Tau.

Just wait for the blueberry expansion fetish posters to roll in and ruin everything.

>>53109263
are we making Quebec in 40k ?
the tree is called a Ma'ple by the Tau
the Guevesa calls it a maple tree

>>53109024
>>53109263
Tau are Canadians. Split off from the original empire and their weird creepy leaders (Ethereals, aristocrats). Gue'vesa are Quebeqois.

Their symbol is the infrared leaf.

>>53109322
Perhaps the planet's name prior to Tau colonizaion was called the Dominion of Kan'Ada

>>53109352
>What fauna does this planet have?

Let's make our own fauna!
>https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Creature_Feature_Creation_Table_for_/tg

>>53109352
Eight legged Moose.
They have a high internal body temperature sustained by eating Infraredwood leaves, and large scooping horns to fling rivals (and small vehicles) out of the way.

They also glow internally.

>>53109352
North American megafauna pre-quaternary extinction. Sabertooth tigers, mammoths, and all sortsa neat shit. Not death world status, just enough to make the natives a cautious bunch in the woods.

>>53109362
Ok, yeah, that too.

>>53109339
the gue'vesa have their own region called Québec
the Tau and the humans have agreed to make the sign in both tau and low gothic
the ruler of this sept is Shas'el Ju'st'in Tru'do

>>53109377
oh shit the Shas'el is actually a female
the name will be Sha'una Tru'do

>>53109371
>>53109374
Necron awakens, emerges.
The world has changed.
Why are all the leaves glowing?
Immediately trampled by 8-legged megamoose.
The Mount'Tau atop the moose in his glorious red battlesuit looks behind him.
"Sorry, didn't see you there, eh? Don't worry, the Greater Good includes free health care for all."
Slightly dented necron goes right back underground.

>>53109481
>GuEH'Vesa

>Moun'Tau
it slightly bother me because "Mont" in tau means Death or deadly
so according to that name they be like Death Squad .
Polite Death Squad but death squad nonetheless

>>53109377
>>53109401

I don't see what the conflict is with naming a female after Justin Trudeau.

>>53109542
i don't know either but justin is a guy name
do the name justin have a feminine counterpart

>>53109481
>the Greater Good includes free health care for all.

...who are the doctors in the Tau caste system? Does each caste keep their own?

Justine

>>53109591
well Jus'Ti'Ne Tru'Do

As supplies from T'au run out, pulse rifles must be adapted to a bulkier power pack using the distilled infraredwood sap essence. The distinctive curved shape of the adapted rifles gives them the nickname Ho'kee Sticks after a quaint local ritual.

Wait, if we've now got Canada Tau, does that mean that if they ever get Kroot, we get Northwest Coast Kroot.

Because I'm not gonna lie, I wanna see Kroot painted like this.

Wait, where are you getting these tables from?

I have looked for these kinds of things all over, and found nothing. I want to roll my own Tau cadre.

>>53114415
Check 1d4chan

We need an enemy. What do Canadians hate? Impoliteness? Movies that claim to be set in America when you can clearly see they were shot in Vancouver?

>>53114509
>We need an enemy
Our enemy is the Imperial Guard

>>53114536
Aha, a regiment of boorish Space Yanks are after our syrup!

Since the function is exploration then you could re-jig the main foe being IG to being the forces of abandoned or lost worlds in the sector the sept is mapping out. Our force is operating without much support in the unmapped reaches of space bringing the good news to those left behind or just never found.

They don't have the infrastructure or the numbers to take a stand-up fight with a whole world of Imperial holdouts or worlds that simply consider staying independent not a topic of conversation. Local humans have slowly crept their way into the sept's crews and sqauds by over time.

The enclave will eventually have the strength and time to send a true army but till then our Tau continue to lay the groundwork militarily and diplomatically and deal with weird unknown regions bullshit about once a weak.

Star Trek, I'm saying make it a more militant Star Trek.

>>53114682
>Star Trek, I'm saying make it a more militant Star Trek.

I see nothing wrong with this

Not really relevant desu but could the Tau do a great crusade tier expansion?

If all emps did was create something like 2 million supersoldiers then surely the Tau could pull off the same thing, they've got the Tech to manage right?

>>53114819
But not the production and ability to keep it all under control

>>53114682

I was thinking - if the Cadre's homeworld was originally an imperial world - that our enemy be a regiment recruited from it before the Tau took it over. In essence, a bunch of "Tanith first and only" wannabes who have a major hate boner for both the Tau who took their world and the treacherous Gue'vesa who aided them.

>>53110856

>>53108488
Ordos Malleus /maybe/. The Inquisitors that fight daemons know full well that they're everyone's problem, and would take Tau fire and/or logistical support over none at all.

And in all honesty, getting another space faring power involved against the great enemy is /another space power fighting the great enemy./

>>53109334
The infrared leaves appear a glowing dull red to human eyes, and tend to stick themselves to the pale glaciers that make the rapid metabolisms of the local biosphere viable: hence, the planetary sigil of a red Ma'Ple leaf on an ice-white background.
Due to the cold, the preferred pastime is sitting by the fire and making abhorrent posts on Spacebook.

A) An eight-legged moose sounds delicious.
B) Sleipwinkles? Bullwinknirs?* Or is this more of an arachnimoose?

>>53109377
I figured the PDF is the mounties, (They can ride Odin's Chosen Moose*) and the Tau themselves are the Frenchy Quebs, and are maybe more in line with Canadian SpecOps or general armed forces, and is largely pathfinders and stealth suits.

I also agree with >>53114390 regarding our local kroot.

So the world in question is largely a continental pacific-northwesternish wintery forest world, with a few forested archipelagos.

*If we go with the Sleipnir/Bullwinkle reference, should there also be flying squirrels that are crossed with Ratatoskr? Rocktatoskr? Is this amazing maple Syrup from the Tree of Life? Is this the forest of Yggdrasequoia? Fuck, this rabbit hole is too deep. Now I want Vespid in viking helms, with and without horns.

>>53114819
Tau are advanced, but they're nowhere near what humanity had during the DAoT and consequently aren't near some of the rarest and most powerful tech that the Imperium has in its possession.

They're interstellar travel is also extremely limited and with no Psykers its unlikely they'll ever manage warp travel as well as the Imperium.
