Might be your best work
That is pretty much something that I was kind of thinking of how they could probably move forward with Tau'va, given it would be an alternative the Tau could use as a means of having the more religious members of the auxiliaries have their religious beliefs be more in line with the Greater Good philosophy. And Shadowsan would be less of someone who leads the Tau down a religious path and more so just being someone the Tau Empire could use as a sort of religious figurehead for said auxiliaries. If that makes sense.
O’Shen trying to say the same thing to a Black Templar or a Trooper of Krieg would be funny.
Excellently Done.
Damn, that Eccesiarchy priestess is fine. I must head to church! :)
Irony is that, to some degree, he IS correct in what Big E wanted for humanity (and current IoM is NOT that), and TBH, those who lose faith in their superiors are quite easy to convert, especially by someone whose entire reason for existence is manipulating others...
Amazing work!
This reminded me of another older comic, Diplomatic Mission, where Mara and O´Shen are speaking to a noble. Are we going to see more of that comic? i would very much love see O´Shen and Mara interacting with other species and cultures.
I think I have wip of that followup comics... I should post it after I clean it up
The hopping nose tube
She must like changing its position 👀
That is a beautiful threatening. The Empire really makes social reengineering easy for the Tau, some times, don't they, terrible as conditions are.
Shen knows the Imperials love dying for the Emperor. Denying them that gets under their skin worse than threats.
The irony is that he could genuinely care for humans and what's good for them, but since he knows she's too xenophobically distrustful to believe that, he carefully phrased his question and subsequent answer to her question so that he deceptively confirms her belief in a way that comes across as "I know you're too smart to believe this pretense, so I'll respect your intelligence by being honest". And that, of course, doesn't mean that he isn't also motivated by not wanting to be wasteful.
Like Omniman, he cares for humans like a beloved pet
Look he's being eminently reasonable here
I love so much how you're not only a talented artist, but also a person who actually reads books and lore. This stripe made me think on so many different scenes. The gue'vesa spy in "Rogue Trader Omnibus" who still wears and eagle pendant and says "I love the Emperor, not the Imperium". The Ethereal in "The Book of Martyrs" trying to coopt a Sister of Battle and thinks on using Imperial faith as a tool. Aun'va, after Damocles Crusade, spurring T'au Empire to multiply their efforts to spread Greater Good philosophy, even using religion if necessary. Well done, as usual!
Another fantastic comic! Well done
Oh, I love it when Shen gets sinister~
Still less corrupt than a megachurch
Throne, it's downright a community service!
Yesssss Oh i so wished we saw more of the Tau co-opting the Imperial Cult rather than suppressing it. Propagating the belief that the Emperor is for the Greater Good, but its the evil mutant astartes and the corrupt Lords of Terra that soiled his Vision.
Tbh, if the Emperor saw what humanity is today compared to the Tau, he might just agree with that belief. Well, unless he could act on the situation. If he could I'm sure he'd try to fix everything all by himself again.
Been far too long since O’Shen did Water Caste things.
I just checked and it's like 4 months ago ☠️ I should draw him more
I love how you protray the Water Caste! It's so unsettling and interesting.
That's a nice sermon you have there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it...
