031 Interview with Neoteric Miniatures

An episode hypothesizing taking a look at the SCP universe and how it could be applied to the Tau.

One way or another you eventually have to acknowledge the mecha element that the Tau have been leaning toward since their beginning. We cover the three storey tall, first big mecha for the Tau, the Riptide along with its two variants and Calmsword's own assertion that the Riptide's most powerful weapon might actually be one that you don't immediatly see on the unit.

This is an episode that got away from me and I apologize, I've been trying to get back into the saddle and I went off the rails. There will be a follow up bonus episode that covers the different patterns of XV-8 that will follow this one. Check out the Fist of Mont'ka painting competition! Please be sure to support and join on the Discord for the many events we're hosting this Sept'ember!

Kicking of Sept'ember with some thoughts on Canonicity and how we as a community can come together when there's a shortage of Lore. Calmsword also talks a little bit about the Exodite that was. Fist of Mont'ka competition: https://fistofmontka.gumroad.com/l/jwntvj

His name has been coming up a lot as of late and one of the more common questions that comes up is "Why the hate?". To be clear, it's our hope that everyone enjoys the Warhammer 40,000 hobby and by no means are we advocating that anyone not read the many books and short stories written by Phil Kelly. But, since there are so many contradictions, it's probably good that we address what the hubbub is about.

Sometimes you just want to sit around and yab about all things Tau and where we're going with this Arks of Omen Farsight business. A little bit of a random episode but with it we are happy to announce that the Tau 40.000 Discord community is launching its very own blog called the Tau NewsCaste! https://taunewscaste.blogspot.com/ Here we'll be doing community articles as well as followups on the PodCaste episodes, tacticas, insights into lore as well as painting and converting approaches and just about anything that has to do with Tau. Give it a follow!

A new season!  It's been a bit but it looks like things are warming up again on the lore front with releases for Wrath and Glory covering our favorite xenos. This episode was inspired by conversations about how Tau view the state of affairs in the different ages (Spheres of expansion).
