Across the world of T'au, Ethereals emerged, each with the same quiet authority and message of harmony and cooperation. The besiegers and the besieged quickly agreed with the Ethereals and a truce was reached.
They described a Greater Good that each T'au must strive towards. The Ethereals spoke of the importance of peace and understanding between all T'au. Within a few short hours, the gates stood wide open, and T'au of both sides stood ready to talk.Ī Map of the T'au Empire's position in the galaxy after 999.M41 and the birth of the Great Rift Similarly, the other mysterious T'au made his way deep into the fortress. Soon, the leader of the plains warriors was persuaded to parley with the settled T'au of Fio'taun. One made his way into the camp of the plains T'au, exuding a quiet authority that no T'au was able to resist. As the tide of the siege turned, two mysterious T'au appeared. However, disease and starvation began to take their toll. Though negotiation had been attempted, the fierce plains warriors would settle for nothing less than the annihilation of the city of Fio'taun.Ī detailed galactic map of the T'au Empire at the time of the Third Sphere Expansion prepared by the Air Casteįor five long T'au years the inhabitants held off the savage assaults with their thick walls and plentiful cannons. The fortress city of Fio'taun was under assault by the T'au warriors from the plains. During this time, the T'au's legends tell of the first appearance of the Ethereals at the city of Fio'taun.

What is known is that only 6,000 standard years ago, in the 35th Millennium, an Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet discovered the T'au homeworld of T'au and determined that its population of sentient xenos were a primitive people at the Stone Age level of development, having only just mastered fire.

This was the first time I had enquired about a commission so wasn’t sure what to expect but I was very impressed with the quote and the overall service that was provided by Ben. I originally asked for a quote on three Riptides then later added the ‘start collecting box’ to bulk out the army a bit more. I came across Deathhammer40k after following them on Instagram and straight away loved their style of painting and once I found out they accepted commissions I had to get some models painted by them. “Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to Ben and the Deathhammer40k team for the amazing Tau Empire army they have produced for me!
