PodCaste- A Warhammer 40k Podcast

Welcome to season 2! We'll be trying something new this season with half an episode for lore as well as hypotheticals. For this one we talk about Drones and Artificial Intelligence within Tau society and how it could differ from human or eldar equivalents. Perhaps this new AI will form a unique bond with the Tau, going in the opposite direction of most other Sci Fi and rebel. Join us as we discuss...

This is our first season in the bag! Thank you so much for listening and supporting. We'll be ramping up in the coming weeks with a Facebook group and articles so that you can continue your journey with us in learning about all things Tau. Remember you can always join us on the Discord channel: https://discord.gg/w6S4wVPe We meet most Saturdays at 3PM Eastern Standard Time. You can also follow us...

We're all very excited to kick off the episodes that will cover Commander Shadowsun. Much like Farsight, we delve deep into old lore and try to see how it aligns with new lore. It is our hope... well, it's Calmsword's hope, that you fall in love with this unique and special character of the Warhammer 40k universe as much as he has. Additionally, we would like to officially invite you to our new af...

It was inevitable... We tackle the canonical consistencies and hypothetical circumstances that would be required to have Tau Space Marines. It starts off a little hectic, but, we're all friends.

In this mini-episode, Kain our host, discusses the tricky problem with Tau faster then light travel. With an empire in a stellar cloud about 300 lights years in diameter and the vastness of the Damocles Gulf to the corward side of their Commonwealth, they need faster then light travel to have a realistic chance of existing in 40k. In the beginning there was the Gravitic "Ether" Drive in which the...

This is a debate style episode where our community at Tau 40.000, https://discord.gg/4fyJjsPX, discuss Farsight and our opinions on the big red commander. Enjoy!

Our exciting conclusion to the research done into Commander Farsight (definitely not going to be the last). Something to consider as you listen: Each must find their own way. If those in our heartland had witnessed the savageries of the void as have we they would know this. The hand of each of the starfarers is turned against the other; none will join their strength together just to see their anci...

Welcome! This is a new type of episode that we're generating by tackling singular topics for a quick informative session that can be listened to in between our longer discussions. For this one, we discuss what a Sept is (since there's a little confusion even canonically). We draw from the following sources: -Battlefleet Gothic: Armada -The Eye of Terror Worldwide Campaign booklet -Codex Tau -Codex...

We're very excited to bring up Farsight with the group. Calmsword started off extremely skeptical of the big red Shas'O and, by the end of this series, he kind of becomes my favorite in terms of the narrative created over the last twenty years. In this episode we discuss his early years, and, what lead him to be chosen to launch the reclamation for the Commonwealth after the Damocles Crusade. Enjo...

The Imperial Crusade pulls back from Dal'yth, forced into a rare ceasefire with an alien race. Farsight rises to prominence, leading the largest reclamation force the Empire has ever mustered while Gue'vesa flood into the Septs. It's a great episode to start warming up to more 'modern' Tau. We also discuss this article about Gue'vesa from their creator, Andy Hoare: http://web.archive.org/web/20080...

We're in the midst of figuring out how best to record people on three different continents and apparently we sound like we were all huffing helium. So this is the new version- with suitably deep baritone voices for the participants. We tackle the Second Sphere and its conclusion during the Damocles Crusade, also called the "Lithesh War", and setup that fan favorite Shas'O Farsight Shovah for the n...

This is a longer one so, perfect for getting some painting done. This week we get start getting into more detailed historical events for the Tau. From the chaotic and volatile age of war known as the Mont'au and those early formative years where the Tau coalesced into a vibrant nation state that took to the stars, to those first wars against the Orks and the Nicassar. The Tau, with the guidance of...

Welcome to our first official episode! We're going to dive into who the Tau are, what they're early history might have been like and have a general discussion after Calmsword gives a Ted Talk (Tau Talk) style introduction. This pod cast is in no way affiliated with Games Workshop and is the work of a community of enthusiasts who have come together to celebrate their love of the Warhammer 40,000 un...

Still finding our stride, but we've figured out some of the recording issues and we'll have a more organized discussion. Calmsword will introduce topics and information which guests will respond to and speculate on. This is the final test! We're all looking forward to Episode 1 In the discussion we cover a few things you can see here: Excerpt form Broken Sword about the Nagi: https://www.reddit.co...

The following is the final test before Pod Caste takes off. This is a recounting of the conversation that took place on the Tau 40.000 Discord server. Unfortunately the original files were corrupted. I discuss the Vespid, Nicassar and humanity within the Tau empire, using my notes taken from the conversation and expanding on it with canonical lore as well as some hypotheticals.

This is a test that was made on March 13th 2021. We discuss general aspects of the Tau including their place of origin, a little bit about the Enclaves and the aftermath of the Damocles Gulf. During the discussion we mention a Farsight Quote which is my favorite: Each must find their own way. If those in our heartland had witnessed the savageries of the void as have we they would know this. The ha...

Shas'Ui Kamino Re'lay brought up a fascinating What if? To our What if? Episode about Shadowsun. Calmsword muses about what could have been and what if Aun'va, that old dog, had been right all along. Hope you enjoy this supplemental episode. Additionally, we're trying something new by asking listeners for $1 a month to access previous episodes. The new ones will be free but as we continue it'll sh...

What If? Is always a great scenario to play with and as we continue forward with Tau lore we'd like to examine what would happen if Shadowsun had taken Farsight's place during the Reclamation after the first Damocles Gulf Crusade. This scenario happened after some intense back and forth on Discord, which as ever, you are invited to: https://discord.gg/K7pRQWWdvG Hope you can join the conversation...

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. We'll go over a history of who the Squats and the Demiurg were and a little speculation on what the Votann might be. The Tau 40.000 discord has grown exponentially.
