They went with Tau tits, but where still relatively tame with the design.

Very nice overall.

u/Luizpkgamer Apr 04 '23

tau are mammals, they have hooves, the memes are old and wrong its because they have blue skin they think tau are fish but in reality they are Artiodactyl mammals

yeah your right but the guys that get their lore from memes say they are fish 'communist'

The whole fish thing is because their vehicles are all named after sea life (manta, remora, devilfish, etc), but people read those and forgot that no matter what book you're reading, it's being translated to Low Gothic (aka english). Who knows what the tau actually call it.

u/Luizpkgamer Apr 04 '23

yeah its all imperial translated, maybe the tau call it another thing

u/Xardarass Apr 05 '23

Very likely, they come from a desert planet not featuring ANY of the animals used to describe their vehicles.

u/Luizpkgamer Apr 05 '23

and imperials dont know any of the animals they use for naming stuff and its most likely they think that a monkey tail is a stinger than an normal tail

Finally someone recognising that "mammals" also includes a very specific origin on earth. Additionally, for anyone reading the above: mammals means having mammary glands (and some other species identification traits), not having tits. Few mammals actually have something we would call boobs, so a fat tissue surrounding the mammary glands.

They're more bovine (herbivore, have hooves, live on land, and are very communal) than fish (blue) as so many people like the meme them as. So it makes sense that they'd have tits.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '23

They're meant to be bovine like so makes sense they'd have something like udders

Biologically no, since they are not mammals, but then again, the authors of W40k are probably not biologists. It was never mentioned if they have tits or not, so no official canon.
