Would galactic unification under the Tau be the best "ending" for the 40k galaxy?

>Their complete lack of understanding of it as a concept has pretty much doomed their attempts at galactic domination,

No, their lack of numbers has doomed any chance the Tau have at galactic domination.

Long term the Tau have three possibilities:
- Another faction decides to protect them for some reason. I doubt the Tau would like the reason.
- Everybody else is too busy fighting to put any serious effort towards the Tau.
- Somebody wins. Then wipes out the Tau.

Or they just exceed everyone else's technology and win.

In 6th or 7th ed they retconned it so the little blue bastards don't even have FTL. Their ambitions of galactic empiredom are hilarious.

Slightly better than galactic unification under the Tyranids, but also much less likely.

The same advanced technology that allows a Firewarrior to be the equivalent of a Conscript?

Tau codex lore by the way. It says the the firewarrior fully trained and gear up is at the same combat capabilities as a random conscript

Wrong, it says they are as physically able in melee combat. Tau fire warriors are generally more disciplined and determined than their human counterparts which led space marines to respect them.

Why do Imperialfags got to be the most worthless pieces of shit when it comes to the lore? Look up Mont'ka. The Tau forces that were outnumbered many times over held off and then defeated a Cadian force numbering in the billions. The odds against the Tau were staggaering and yet the Tau delivered a crushing defeat to the Cadians aka best IG that the Imperium has and also their supporting armies.

You don't get to talk anymore. When it comes to the Tau, the Imperium lost the right to act in any way smug. Two fucking failed Crusades and hundreds of billions losses in men and armour, and yet the Tau continue to expand and prosper. The Imperium did not break the Tau, the Tau broke the Imperium.

Lies. Their skim drives are 1/5 speed of the Imperial Warp drive. That's more than enough to conquer the galaxy.

The WD that came with Damocles releases if the Tau are allowed to do their thing, then it time they will blaze across the galaxy. The Tau ascension according to their lore is a matter of time unless of forces of Disorder and the Imperium do something about it.

Recently, Chaos took an interest in the Tau and are targeting their worlds but we know the Tau are up for the challenge.

One of the tragedies of the setting is that if the Tau and Imperium had joined forces then they would been an unstoppable pair. But the belligerence of the Imperium prevented that glorious future.

The Imperium ruins everything.

If you're gonna conquer the galaxy you'll need proper warp travel as it can take months to get from A to B. The tau are able to take say, the entire Eastern Fringe but they lack the psychic presence to do warp travel and controlling such a large empire with such slow travel would be very hard. The imperium in its present state has enough trouble controlling it's planets so imagine how hard it would be for the tau to do it

The Necrontyr and Necrons conquered the galaxy with slow burning ships. They only got FTL travel at the last stages of War in Heaven when the Burning One showed them how to break into the Webway.

The problem with the Imperium is that they suck at infrastructure and supply lines. Look at how the Tau facepalm at the stupidity that is Hive Worlds. There is no reason for the Imperium with its infinite resources to construct things that are so pitifully inefficient and resource consuming. The Tau have shown that they are capable of supporting similar amounts of populations and give them a decent productive lives on top of that. In fact, the Tau objective is that. Conquering Imperial Hive Worlds and funnelling the human masses to the core worlds of their empire to act as the working force there.

That's... Somewhat retarded, unless they mean in mele combat

>Tau
>unifying the galaxy
>Tau even making out of the Eastern Fringe without attracting the attention of a Ghazghkull or Nazdreg-tier Ork Warlord who will WAAAGH!!! their fledgling empire back into the stone age and loot all their tech
>Tau ever being able to annex Ultramar
HA!
Where can I find the fungus cigars ya smoking blueberry, because dat's sum funny shit!

The pic you posted shows they're both at fault for not teaming up.

The Tau aren't interested in working together as equals either, they want to be in control.

The Tau are coming for Ultramar soon. After Morty weakens Ultramar, the Tau will sail in and clean up the place for colonisation.

>Orks

Orks are busy with Octaria and Armageddon.

"The Tau had become".

The Imperials hardened the hearts of the Tau against them, with repeated attempts at genocide.

Nope the best future is the interex/illuminati future.

Or everything dies but the jokero

>Tau empire is a fucking hexagon

>Hive worlds are inefficient
Hive worlds are sweatshop planets. Considering the fuckhuge size of the Imperium, hive worlds are a pretty efficient solution to a very real problem, that being the vast technological disparity between worlds.

Of course, Tau wouldn't know anything about that since they don't really have much of an Empire.

If the region needs the manufacturing capability, but lacks the technological prowess, wouldn't it only make sense that all the pollution of the industry is centralized on a single, relatively worthless planet? Specialization is good. It allows everyone to focus on different things, while still enjoying the benefits of all.

Hive worlds are the Imperial equivalent of Forgeworlds, not under control of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but rather the Imperium.

The Tau have never shown an interest in working as equals with other races, they always want to be in control.

Sooner or later the Tai will have their own AI rebellion and find out precisely why the Imperium doesn't put real-time wireless networks in everything.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet

All it would take is one dedicated cryptek or chaos lord

This art was in the 3e Tau 'dex. Does anyone know the artist? I absolutely love the way the characters are drawn.

Actually kill yourself you weeb, taushits are the worst kind of Mary Sue autistic cunts ever, they should be wiped from the lore to atone for such retarded and lazy writing.

Fire warriors are nothing to stormtroopers

And storm troopers are less trained.

The best trained and augmented troops in the imperium are the space marines. They crap on fire warriors.

And necron warriors crap on any infantry that is beneath space marines, and have more numbers than the space marines.

Immortals are the best infantry.

The Tau are a brutal dictatorship where those who don't conform to the ultracommunistic ideals of some rich pricks who belong to the ruling class. It'll be the same situation, but with someone else holding the leash.

Actually, if they take over, and don't kill off the other races that actually matter to Chaos, I reckon they'll still have to deal with crazy shit.

I kinda wanna see the weeaboos get slapped down by their robots, after said robots spontaneously grow blasphemous limbs and unseeing eyes

Honestly the best end for the galaxy is a jokero victory.

I keep waiting for the lead fleet to arrive
