PodCaste- A Warhammer 40k Podcast

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. Be sure to join the...

An old question and one we've brought up before but it keeps coming up! Let's explore the Greater Good. And join our Discord ! https://discord.gg/K7e6yGuShN

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&#39...

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...

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 o...

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).

We have a discussion regarding what would happen if the Tau were actually invaded by the Imperium. Enjoy this bonus episode.

Always a complicated subject but let's begin to tackle how the Kelly and the rest of the Tau lore don't really work. We also look at the past and the confusing nature of how Kelly goes back and forth between concepts like Vash'ya or how everyone is named Kais. This is not a bash, it is trying to understand how we, as a community, can introduce all the lore to newcomers and explain how you have to...

An exciting new episode about some of the speculation around the new Kroot details we're getting out of the Kasrkin book by Edoardo Albert (very lite on Tau stuff if you're looking) as well as the kill team release.

Our own The1stMusket reviews the codex and Calmsword reads (despite frog in his throat). We go over the lore implications now that it's in our hands and how it relates to the Tau. There might be some repeats as we lost this episode due to a power outage. Enjoy! https://discord.gg/K7pRQWWdvG

Redrix takes us on a journey through the history of the Tau Battlesuit having freshly returned from tourney. He discusses the process of new technologies and how they are given to heroes of the Commonwealth like Shadowsun and Longstrike (yes, Longstrike has a battlesuit). A fascinating discussion kicks off with a lot of speculation about 30min in. Enjoy! And if you ever want to jump in, remember t...

Welcome to Season 3 of Pod Caste! Our newest episode is also a return to more regular uploads.

ADDENDUM: This sometimes happens... But I totally forgot the Cyclic Ion Blaster. Since the recording of this episode, "Commander Darkfrost" from our community on Discord helped me remember. Thank you Darkfrost! This is a recovered episode after the quality of the larger discussion got nixxed (we're still working on how to fix it). We discuss the origins of some of the Tau's most foundational tech;...

A new and exciting year brings us to the topic of Tau warcrimes (or, a normal 'wednesday' for the rest of the 40k factions) here's some events that you can succinctly point at and say "see, they're as bad as ___". Discord Community Link https://discord.gg/WbQ9s7PX8N

A shorter episode in which we explore some of the client and member species of the Commonwealth. Remember to follow and add and if you'd ever like to join the fantastic community at Tau 40.000: https://discord.gg/ywhSyjZd

Calmsword tries... and mostly fails, at being spooky this halloween when he talks about how the Greater Good has the possibility of bringing the entire Imperium to its knees!

This is a big one. We talk about Tau relationships, Tau sexuality and how the Tau raise their children. Using what little available books on the subject, it quickly becomes hypothetical but it makes for a very interesting show. Please caution, we do talk about topics that are highly opinionated and can be divisive. We try to be respectful and open, but please, if this subject isn't your cup of tea...

Genestealers are hyper predators in the universe of Warhammer 40,000 but they have trouble infiltrating Tau communities. We go over Genestealers (with a newbie mistake on my part- I confused the generations of infected- my bad!) and their infection cycle as well as how the Tau have successfully countered it while hypothesizing how they might actually be completely out of their league as the Tyrani...

A fascinating episode where our in-house biologist, Redrix, takes a look at evolutionary tracks and possibilities. This is a perfect example of how we want to continue with Podcaste and Project Tau. Enjoy a listen! Join our affiliated Discord: https://discord.gg/ut8ZbCW7
