===Tau Empire=== * During the Damocles Crusade, an Execution Force was deployed against three major Tau leaders: Farsight, Shadowsun, and Aun'Va. ** The poor Vindicare ends up intercepted by Sub-Commander Darkstrider, who manages to blind him with a photon grenade (despite the visor which is explicitly designed to prevent that) and fill him with holes from a Pulse Rifle,[[What| despite being wounded himself because the Vindicare somehow missed his head]]. ** The Callidus ambushes Shadowsun by disguising as a member of her team. The assassin still dies, but not without scaring Shadowsun by using some really deadly poisons on one of the bodyguards. ** Of the three Tau, only Aun'Va gets killed because he had the horrible luck of getting the [[Culexus]]. His death was painful. Desperate to keep morale, the Tau managed to put up holograms to give orders, making them think he was alive. This is one of the few deaths of a major character with a model in 40k since 40k was a thing (Tycho, Naaman & Eldrad have also been killed off in the fluff, but Eldrad's death was retconned). **Commander Torchstar gets killed, and Commander Bravestorm sacrifices himself to save Farsight from an assassin, now leaving two vacancies in Farsight's Eight. In addition to all this Ob'Lotai 9-0 is badly mauled trying to stop an Eversor that was cleaving its way through Farsight's battlesuit teams to get to him. Until replacements can be found, "The Eight" at the moment is merely a ceremonial name. * Longstrike and Pask fought to see who was the better tank commander. Pask beat Longstrike badly in their first battle but Longstrike survived and later returned to destroy Pask's Lemun Russ without him even seeing. Pask's probably still alive, salty as all hell. (Hilariously this mirrors the crunch; whoever gets first shot will basically stunlock the other with Penetrating Hits/forcing Longstrike to Jink). *The Tau expansion into the Damocles Sector is halted by the Imperium, and the AdMech have formed a blockade cutting their remaining colonies in the sector off from the Empire proper. *The overall theme with the Tau currently is that after all their success the Tau have finally been handed their first real string of defeats after provoking a serious response from the Imperium. They are currently cut off from all their new colonies, which will likely be attacked soon and many of their leaders and commanders are dead or wounded leaving the Empires political future in question. The golden age of expansion the Tau had hoped for seems to be over and the Tau appear to be on the defensive for a change. On another note Shadowsun and Farsight seem to have buried the hatchet, though she is still under orders to arrest Farsight at the first opportunity.
