  1. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 7

    I barely rolled away in time as the ork lunged at me with its bare, soot-stained hands. Dirt and spittle flew as it roared with sadistic delight as its fists and metal-clad boots slammed after me, while I awkwardly forced my clunky frame to move. The fucking shoulder plate was too damned boxy...
  2. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)

    So long as I can put it into words properly haha There's the overall plan of pitting X'ing against Tau sensibilities when Damocles and other stuff rolls around (Titans are just silly propaganda, the diplomatic mission to the Nids because of the off chance they're not as they seem, daemons...
  3. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)

    It's something I'm still deciding. Vespids yes, Farsight and Shadowsun no. Them two ain't even born yet, probably. Also if I remember right the Tau only start upgrading their fleet with the stuff you see in the BFG PC game only after the Damocles Crusade. I'm trying to avoid turning him into...
  4. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)

    Oh my, I didn't know I've been saving up my days off like that! Time to use it to rest and relax- *proceeds to be sick through most of it* *Laughs in body dysmorphia and tau physiology* This is pre-Second Sphere Expansion, and the Damocles Crusade, so there's a bit of the Tau tech tree still...
  5. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 6

    There was little excitement to be had after that first assignment. With Por’vre J’karra’s mission ended, his guard detail was disbanded and us Fire Warriors were put to use elsewhere. For me, it meant three tau’cyrs of guarding this site or that, partaking in drills and battle sims, and...
  6. A chapter should be out soonish. Still figuring out how to transition into the major plot/arc

  7. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 5

    The ork infestation was eventually and decisively put down by our stalwart hosts, with no further firefights anywhere close enough for us Tau guests to be involved again. A small, youthful part of me was disappointed at the idleness that followed, standing about with simmering nerves, while the...
  8. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)

    Not really, I guess I should start promoting it a bit haha
  9. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 4

    For a species known for brutishness and low cunning, how do the Orks sneak their ships through Tau and Demiurg fleets with their advanced sensors? As far as I knew, their ships are built haphazardly with the priority towards getting as quickly into the fight with engines and guns roaring loudly...

    Extras: Tau Lexicon

    This is more for my own reference I think, than anything proper. There's Lexicanum for more comprehensive stuff. Tau elemental castes Aun - Ethereal, ruling class Fio - Earth, workers/engineers/farmers Kor - Air, pilots Por - Water, traders/administrators/diplomats Shas - Fire...
  11. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 3

    It took several long kai'rotaas being stuck on an Air Caste trade ship before I finally got to really take up my first assignment. I was assigned to a Fire Warrior team tasked to guard a Water Caste trade mission; one of the more mundane tasks to settle in the newbies. The Tau Empire conducted...
  12. Cast in Fire (WH40k Tau)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 2

    It took eight tau’cyrs - four Tau (the homeworld, not the species) standard years - before I and most of my crechemates graduated from the rank of ‘saal’ to ‘la’. Four tau’cyrs of drills, simulations, lectures, receiving and processing didactic grafts, and the odd parade assembly for the por’hui...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 1

    Author's notes: So, apparently this might be enough of a long term thing... Still plotting things out and not sure about the posting rate just yet. I'm pretty sure there'll be no lewds because I don't want to figure out tau genitals. In an observation room overlooking the training course...
  14. Nope, and I'm not sure if I will anytime soon.
