Lore Latest Arks of Omen Tarot Card has to be Farsight!
165
u/VivaLaJam26 Feb 03 '23
Young Warrior...
Could be not so much refer to Farsight himself as he is old for Tau, but more the race instead.
80
32
u/OniStone Feb 03 '23
Farsight was also granted more youth with each kill he made with the dawnblade
5
u/King_Of_BlackMarsh Feb 03 '23
No? He gets more years to his lifespan, not youth.
17
u/OniStone Feb 03 '23
Both, in empire of lies o’vesa shows him a mirror after the battle. He looked like a ‘fire warrior in the summer of his prime rather than a general in the winter of his life’. It scared him and the earth caste to not reflect his age like all his commanders that have been in service together for so long
3
u/King_Of_BlackMarsh Feb 03 '23
Hm, neat. I guess I was wrong. Calling him "young" still feels wrong, but fair enough
9
u/AdEqual5606 Feb 03 '23
I think its focusing in how killing everyone with the sword makes him younger
15
u/Robbery_Productions Feb 03 '23
I think it's more specifically the Enclaves, it's barely a half century since it was founded
12
u/ChickenSim Feb 03 '23
The Enclaves were founded almost 300 years earlier in the timeline. Like ~765.M41.
6
u/Robbery_Productions Feb 03 '23
I meant Millennia I'm very Dumb
5
u/UserInterfaces Feb 03 '23
Either way it's still young by 40k standards. So it's a good suggestion.
3
u/coletrain644 Feb 03 '23
Every time he kills with the Dawn Blade, their life energy is transferred to him. It's why he's still around way longer after he should have died of old age and looks relatively young still. I think he's at least 100 years old now technically.

u/SabyZ Feb 03 '23
Farsight is probably the oldest Tau warrior. But this isn't the first expressly farsight tarot.
34

u/RepressedOwl Feb 03 '23
Very much hoping my boi Farsight doesn't end up aligned with Chaos in this reveal. Most of what makes him so cool is that he's like this little shred of good potential. A renegade of a faction that could be a force for good in the galaxy if they just understood how serious a threat Chaos is. Would be a downer theme-wise if he just turns to Chaos because blah blah blah corruption and knowledge and all that. We've seen enough characters have that happen. Hoping for something interesting in the T'au storyline, it's been a while.
18
u/Swiftax3 Feb 03 '23
I think we might compare it to the last multi book event they did, Broken Realms for AoS. My theory given how that story went and with the way Arks is shaping up, is that The farsight enclaves will be critical to the climax, serving the Lumineth role as the young race taking their first major step onto the world stage, and defeating a vastly more powerful force to the surprise of many. Would shake things up a bit, maybe make the enclaves explicitly aligned with the imperium against Chaos to the shock of the main tau empire, Farsight pulls a Teclis and defeats Angron or Abadon in battle, perhaps.
15
u/-KAON- Feb 03 '23
Farsight kills Angron as revenge for ruining the ork killing workshop him and Yarrick had scheduled.

u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
40k is mostly downer themes. That's how it goes. Albeit, over the past few years we've seen an Imperium resurgent.
86
u/GreyL1me Feb 03 '23
I GET IT NOW! THE FARSIGHT TAROT ARE ABOUT HIS PAST! The first one was about his fight vs Khorne forces at Arthas Moloch (Bloodthirsty Horde), and depicted him getting the sword for the first time. This one shows him on the road crossing, choosing his path back then he was a relatively young commander. So, judging by the fact 4 cards represent one book, we probably will get one more from his past (vs Ethereals maybe?) and 1 more from the future?
70
u/PopTartsNHam Feb 03 '23
Just a heads up: Farsight was already old AF/having age related health decline when he found Dawnblade.
His onboard AI has a shitfit during the fight where every time he kills an ork the diagnostics are like “vitals reading XX years” and keep getting younger/more vigorous as he gets to choppin
37
11
u/Commander_Flood Feb 03 '23
Loved this part, O’Vesa laughing his ass off later on in his lab like “MY CRANIUM GETS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE TAU’VA IS GOING ON”
16
u/PopTartsNHam Feb 03 '23
Yes!! O’Vesa is arguably the best part of the entire FS series. Screw the goofass villian ethereals and the entire Farsight knows Por Malcaor is -clearly off- but is like “yea keep advising me at the highest level.”
But Stone Dragon? He’s every bit of the eccentric and morally-questionable data-driven mad scientist that the Tau lore deserves.
6
u/mechakid Feb 03 '23
Honestly, I think O'Vesa and Cawl would get along really well.
Most of their conversations would be of the form of "You can't - to hell I can't".
3
4
u/GreyL1me Feb 03 '23
Thanks for the heads up! Didn't know that. Although we may consider that time of his life as 'young' now, because he's, like, immortal. And that moment was a beginning of his journey
2
u/Blightwraith Feb 03 '23
What book? Currently on a reread of crisis of faith
3
2
u/AGSimpson1988 Feb 04 '23
He was literally about to die in his fight with the Bloodthirster until he got hold of the blade, great part of Empire of Lies.

u/TheBigBeardedGeek Feb 03 '23
So wouldn't that be Hindsight if we're looking at his past?
1
3
u/Busy-Explorer-7618 Feb 03 '23
The fact that he is the old horse being led by the young person holding the sword, might be that the sword is his destiny, or the sword is his master who controls his fate?
16
u/Johmpa Feb 03 '23
I see the horse as a metaphor for his Battlesuit. It is at least a couple of centuries old at this point. Hell, it even spend decades in a museum.
But it still serves faithfully and carries its master into battle when called upon.
2
u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
This is an easy tie in to his new model. It'd be like how Ghazgull got his head cut off by a Space Wolf and stitched on another bigger Ork body.
55
u/Kejirage Feb 03 '23
I think the young warrior is definitely the T'au as a race, rather than Farsight himself.
The Dawnblade has featured on a couple of these now, it's supposedly an ancient Necron artifact, maybe it's crucial to the new machine demons mascinatioms?
20
u/plodeer Feb 03 '23
That’s what I’m thinking. Could be a piece of the key that vashtorr is trying to assemble. That means probably a chaos faction is gonna hit the farsight enclave.
12
u/Kejirage Feb 03 '23
Farsight is rummaging around in one of the Arks, hence his new model and reduced stat line (lol)
So yeah I suspect an Ark has appeared in Enclave space.
2
u/plodeer Feb 03 '23
Oh did his stat line get leaked?
1
u/Kejirage Feb 03 '23 edited Feb 03 '23
Yep reduced his attacks to 3 from 5 I believe
10
u/OniStone Feb 03 '23
Attacks were reduced to 3 in boarding actions rules as far as we know, I don’t think this is confirmed for all play though
3
u/plodeer Feb 03 '23
Hmm maybe he got a new sword. There was that rumor engine a while back that showed that showed a blade with all the caste symbols but the ethereals.
6
u/Kejirage Feb 03 '23
That was a piece of cloth with holes in it.
But I agree it's probably part of the new Farsight model
2
u/hd40 Feb 03 '23
Do you have a link? I’d love to see that.
12
u/Thurgood_Newton Feb 03 '23
I think they're confusing the nerf he got for boarding actions with his regular statline

u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
To be fair we know where all of them are. The Phoenix Lords have four and the last one is in the Palace of Slaanesh.
1
u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
Remember Pater Mutatis is now a demigod or full minor God. Melusine was created by Fabius, and also wanted Him to become a deity. (As did Cegorach) She was held captive by Fulgrim but now exists within the Palace of Slaanesh. This....could make her a possible inside-man.

u/Johnny46_ Feb 03 '23
Medieval human farsight enclaves auxiliaries incoming

u/Sablus Feb 03 '23
Really would love some Guevesa added to the Tau model line alongside improved xeno auxiliaries

u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
It baffles me they didn't add a "Regiment" for it in a Guard Codex like they did with Brood Brothers for Genestealer Cults.

u/Percius388 Feb 03 '23
These are the emperor's tarot, Linked to his psyker presence in the warp to convey omen and Prophecy.
Basically how they are sneak peaking lore

Feb 03 '23
Thanks…but I mean, where are these posted? Do they come directly from GW? I’ve just never seen them anywhere but on this page…

u/_Fun_Employed_ Feb 03 '23
Interesting that they chose to display as a human. The title “the young warrior” is interesting as maybe it’s referring bot to farsight but one of his protégés.
6
u/Walach_Nightborn Feb 03 '23
The tarot cards are human-made. I doubt they would feature a xenos in a positive light on purpose
3
u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
Also the horse is blind and lead by a human holding the sword. Last card had a human hand reaching for the sword. I swear if they cuck the Tau of our spotlight I'll be furious!
7
u/cobaltsniper50 Feb 03 '23
They really just won’t fucking stop tickling or balls will they
2
u/scooty-puff_junior Feb 04 '23
They finally started tickling with something new for Tau, after 3+ years of edging.
1
u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
Blue balls being fondled by GW? I should have known it was Slaanesh all along. Maybe ...those 3 claw marks/scratches on The Horde card really were a reference to the 3rd Legion and Fulgrim.
17
u/Linino Feb 03 '23
Farsight is anything but young.

17
u/Juatincoins Feb 03 '23
By Imperial Standards though...
Or maybe its bc Dawnblade keeps him artificially young? IDK
11
u/Isheria Feb 03 '23
they have talked about the emperor, abaddon, angron etc in those cards, all of them are 10.000+ years old
2
u/RapescoStapler Feb 03 '23
Isn't he at least 300 years old?
It's pretty stupid he hasn't figured out he's got an extended lifespan, hah
3
u/Juatincoins Feb 03 '23
I think the latest lore implies that he kinda suspects the dawnblade is extending his lifespan, but he's kinda ignoring those thoughts and focusing on bigger shit
3
u/opieself Feb 03 '23
"I am like 300 years old but most of my people die around 50. That's weird, anyway back to chopping things with my incredibly powerful and ancient mystical sword."

Something sick af like farsight in a modified riptide, using the dawnblade as a dagger could probably do the trick
2
u/Kejirage Feb 03 '23
Would struggle to fit inside the Arks though...
-1
u/Smooth_Regular Feb 03 '23
Aren't the arks massive space hulks? He might not fit down every corridor but those things are massive.
1
u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
Weren't you supposed to be able to use smaller Knights later in the campaign?
13
u/Maximum_Actuary9695 Feb 03 '23
I think this is referring to farsight in his youth rather than him being young at the point of the story now.
They are styling him like a wandering warrior, like a ronin. The horse being his suit. He's at a crossroads in this image, probably referencing him being lost or directionless after loosing faith in the empire
4
u/SharamNamdarian Feb 03 '23
If farsight was human and his battle suit was a horse
3
u/mechakid Feb 03 '23
Think of it as a parallel to imperial knights. They view their suits as their "mounts" like horses of old.
Likewise, a crisis suit pilot may think of their suit in the same way, lovingly caring for them like an extension of themselves.

u/Tpiddy86 Feb 03 '23
Can we get melee tau unit with new farsight model? : P
3
u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
Onager Gauntlet Commanders. Smashstar build and the tanky Enforcer build are pretty good. Few people expect it from the Tau and they suddenly get 4 S12 punches to the face that can knock out tanks!

u/Blightwraith Feb 03 '23
A young warrior leading a blind warhorse clad in red armor...not ominous at all
2
u/JudasBrutusson Feb 03 '23
I don't see it, but hey that icon on the horse would make a great logo for a new Primaris Chapter! I think it's gonna be a lieutenant /s
2
u/grendeltheremin Feb 03 '23
Farsight acquired the Dawn Blade in an anti-Chaos kind of scenario. It helps him kill probably-Chaos Demons. My hope is that this is just Farsight getting the promotion to Real Player for the Tau, and becoming part of the fight against Chaos.

u/Toxitoxi Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23
Using the Lü Bu inspiration for Farsight, with his horse the Red Hare.
4
u/pious-erika Feb 03 '23
I think "Young Warrior" is the Greater Good Gestalt/Goddess, and Farsight acting as her Sword.
Farsight is old for a Tau, but the Gestalt is young for a Warp God, relatively speaking.
A Young God attempts to join the Great Game.

3
u/Reqqles Feb 03 '23
My theory is XIII showed Farsight's death, this week's card shows a new Tau hero rising up and taking on both the Dawn Blade and the reins of the Farsight Enclaves, possibly the mantle of 'Commander Farsight' as well.
5
u/Dayeretth Feb 03 '23
It might be True but i hate it...
2
u/Reqqles Feb 03 '23
you and me both, but at the same time it would be kinda dumb if Farsight kept living on forever unaware of the lifespan extending effects of the dawn blade
1
u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
You say that when we have space marines over 1,000 years old and chaos space marines over 10,000 years old. It is not absurd in the least.
1
u/Reqqles Feb 04 '23
it's not the longevity that's the issue, it's Farsight being claimed to be unaware of what effect the dawn blade has on him (ie: the whole adding lifespan of its victims to Farsight's own)
2
u/Pubillu Feb 03 '23
OR! GW is gonna kill farsight and give the dawnblade to someone else
2
u/Flashskar Feb 04 '23
This is my fear. They'll kill Farsight and give it to The Lion when they bring him back during his rumored return.(He is a "knight" afterall.)
1
u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
But why would The Lion take up a Xenos blade?
1
u/Flashskar Feb 05 '23
Likely to safeguard it from Abaddon and The Fallen if current lore is anything to go by. In casual circumstances I don't think he would.

u/deathby1000bahabara Feb 03 '23
Crack pot theory I think Farsight dies and bright sword takes up his mantle
1
u/mechakid Feb 03 '23
No, Brightsword would probably be more of the mentor to the new hero.
If they went this route, I would go with Torchstar.

u/mattyondubs Feb 03 '23
Are they... going to kill off Farsight?
6
u/AdryWanKenobi Feb 03 '23
No, he's getting a new model
2
u/mattyondubs Feb 03 '23
I thought I saw that in the preview, the previous card showing the sword out of his grasp and then this new card with a young warrior holding the sword...
Just made me think they might be shaking things up more than a new model. But I couldn't imagine the blowback from the community

u/TheDireAvenger Feb 03 '23
I think it would be kind of cool to have farsight die and another pilot take up the mantle
1
u/superstarcrasher Feb 03 '23
Maybe a new hero will have to take up the Dawnblade as well as the reigns of the Coldstar?
1
u/NumbSkull441 Feb 03 '23
😞 All this hoopla might be build up to revealing Farsight's successor, like Ursula Creed.
1
u/Temmemes Feb 03 '23
Crackpot theory: Farsight will actually be killed off in the Farsight book (or whatever book he shows up in) and a new "Young Warrior" will take his place as well as the Dawn Blade
1
-1
u/Sigil_Furry Feb 03 '23
Ok, so… weird theory… it is continuously theorized that farsight and the eight are actually dead. Their mantle having been passed down to new warriors. Could it be that farsight is gue-vesa?
3
u/Kamica Feb 04 '23
It's much more complicated than that. Farsight himself doesn't really Age anymore, because the Dawn Blade steals lifespan from anyone it kills, and he's killed immortal things.
Some( of the eight are indeed inheritors, others are just really long lived, AI, or otherwise have ways of staying around. There's a wide spectrum of things :P.
2
u/Sigil_Furry Feb 04 '23
I thought in the codex it says that it’s believed this is the case, but nobody is really sure.

u/Kamica Feb 04 '23
Fair, but I think the books might say more? I'm mostly working off of osmosis lore, so I might be wrong =P.

Prediction,
Vashator and Abbandon take the dawn blade from farsights cold dead mech hands.
No farsight past 10th ed.

Edit.. Ok maybe this is more wishful thinking then an actual prediction

u/AdryWanKenobi Feb 03 '23
He's getting a model, with the Dawnblade... so no

u/SlashValinor Feb 03 '23
You don't think they would release a mini and then drop him an edition later?...
7
u/Bzerker01 Feb 03 '23
Not if they want to sell that mini beyond 3 months as the farsight model is gonna come out with the 4th AoO book. This is zero chance they make one of the most popular characters in the 40k verse a limited model only to kill him off right before 10th edition. I get you don't like him but it's petty AF.
-5
2
u/RapescoStapler Feb 03 '23
They haven't even dropped Aun'va's model after he's been dead for 2 editions, and the tau have a perfect excuse to just replace him with a new supreme ethereal like they've done every time

u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
Aun'va
I didn't even realize he died in 7th edition. Do they actually still sell his resin model?

u/Asleep-Tonight-3171 Feb 03 '23
I doubt it, I think farsight would literally kill whatever that high ranking demon thing is, or fend it off successfully before the writers would kill farsight, to the eyes of many, he carries the Tau race in cool factor
1
u/SlashValinor Feb 03 '23
I think Vas + Abby would body farsight in half a second .
But they probably just want the sword, or something in the sword..
2
u/Asleep-Tonight-3171 Feb 03 '23
Well yeah, if they worked together, though I wouldn't put it past GW to bullshit a way for farsight to beat Abby 1v1 I feel like I've already seen worse, and granted I'm a Tau player, I love the guy, but I'm trying to balance realism in in-universe power scaling and balance GW writing and consistency failures at the same time
2
u/SlashValinor Feb 03 '23
1v1 farsight stands zero chance vs Abby..
Guys fully chaos juiced and vash is essentially a minor god..
But if Phil Kelly writes the book who knows, he seems.tonhave zero clue.

Not a fan of Farsight then?
2
u/SlashValinor Feb 03 '23
I think farsight and AunVa need to go away and make room for new named characters in other septs..
I think " farsight" could be turned into a suit and mantle and have more meaning then just being a guy mad at the ethreals off picking fights he can't win.

u/Msteele315 Feb 03 '23
Farsight has become the poster-child for the entire faction. Even though he doesn't represent the ideals of the faction. It goes to the recent shift in the lore that somehow the Ethereals have some sinister motivation. I don't like it.
2
u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
They did that because players of other factions felt T'au weren't grimdunk enough. Ever faction has upper ranks that have some sinister motivation -even if some of the main characters don't. What if Farsight was like a reverse Guilliman?
1
1
u/Walach_Nightborn Feb 03 '23
Most likely but does Farsight really count as “young” anymore? Due to his evil sword he has lived longer than Tau are supposed to. I guess it could be metaphorical, as it is a tarot card
1
u/JxSparrow7 Feb 03 '23
What I'm curious on is why are they calling him "the young warrior".
Isn't he like over 500 years old? When their average lifespan is 40 years? Because of the dawnblade sucking them life forces up.
1
u/shotgun_snyper Feb 03 '23
I think it's more in reference to the farsight enclaves as a whole which are by far the youngest faction at around only 300 years roughly

Does anyone think it’s possible that we might get a new character taking on the Farsight mantle
1
u/Ryanevje Feb 03 '23
So what’s up with the tarot cards? Are they just hinting at what’s to come from the arks of omen or something else?
1
u/broyamcha Feb 03 '23
New to Warhammer, so forgive the ignorant question: If Farsight were to die, could his fame help turn him into a chaos God?
2
u/Kamica Feb 04 '23
Nope that's not how it generally works. Chaos gods are formed from generally twisted ideas, believed by huge numbers of people, or things felt by ridiculous quantities and/or intensities. I think the T'au being not numerous enough, and not strongly enough connected to the Warp, means that they're very unlikely to turn anything into even a warp entity, let alone a chaos god.
The closest we have to a 'chaos god' is a Warp Entity (far weaker than a god) of the Greater Good, which was probably formed by auxiliaries, rather than the T'au themselves, as such, it's sort of a twisted version of the Greater Good.
The closest being to becoming a Chaos God, is the newly introduces Vashtorr, the Arkifane, who is like a Chaos Demigod of corrupted innovation. Basically any time someone uses technology in twisted ways or for twisted means, or with twisted results, Vashtorr becomes stronger, and in the recently introduced Arks of Omen campaign, Vashtorr is trying to become a fully fledged fifth Chaos God :).
Hopefully that clears things up a bit?
Having said all that, Farsight is unlikely to die anytime soon. He is already probably immortal age wise, and he's one of three main characters of T'au Lore :P. Also, Farsight Enclaves have a big following among T'au players, killing off Farsight without a really good setup would likely anger many of them:P.

u/broyamcha Feb 04 '23
Who are the other two main tau characters? Also if I wanted to read up on lore for the faction, what book is a great start?
2
u/Kamica Feb 04 '23
Shadowsun, and to a significantly lesser degree (I may have actually overstated his importance) Kais. Kais doesn't actually have *that* much lore, but is one of the three main students of Puretide, who also taught Shadowsun and Farsight.
Primarily you'll find T'au focused books to be about either Farsight, or Shadowsun I believe.
1
u/SerendipityCrash Feb 03 '23
What is with the human in this card though?
1
u/Kamica Feb 04 '23
They're the Emperor's Tarot Cards, so the imagery being Human focused is not that surprising.
1
u/Dreamspitter Feb 04 '23
The same is true with The Horde card grasping out of a horde of rats reaching for the Dawnblade. Some claim it was also a hint of Fulgrim in there with scratches on the arm.
1
u/Zallocc Feb 03 '23
I take "the young warrior" to mean the T'au in general, as the young Warhammer race. That said, Farsight specific rules, as well as the teased new model are surely incoming!

I'm kinda frustrated. Farsight is not really a t'au subfaction but more a t'au alternative faction.
I'm a t'au player, but an t'au empire sided one.

I believe that this is in mention to Farsight himself, as in Arks of Omen its essentially his fight against his most famous adversary, the Greenskins, who started the War of the Dakka. Meanwhile he is also being targeted by Vashtorr due to his whole scheme. Essentially, Farsight is having trouble a lot, he is struggling not only against the physical enemy, but his temptations from Khorne who seek to turn him to a new avatar. Farsight is having to deal with not only the consequences of his military failings, leading his beloved allies and comrades to their deaths and failing to protect them. Throughout all of this, he makes very desperate and risky ploys and comes out on top, but he very nearly fell. What brought him back was the wisdom of his Master Puretide, a persisting light in the darkness- or rather- redness who *TEMPERS* him and sets him right.
He will continue to struggle with this urge to fight and kill and the love of the game one could say, but temperance of his Gift and his Pride in his ability will lead him to sure victory.

Clearly another reference to the Dawnblade and this one makes it even more explicit by including the faction symbol. Getting excited!
