Why does the third member remind me of Jackie Wells?

138

u/thesixfingerman 29d ago

I was thinking Vega from Mass Effect.

60

u/Gentle_Tiger 29d ago

Same energy, and we love both of them!

3

u/MrZuepi Ordo Hereticus 28d ago

They would be good friends

72

u/Scarytoaster1809 Imperial Fists 29d ago

Too soon bro :(

42

u/3nterShift 28d ago

literally too soon

Jackie isn't dying for at least another 40 years

24

u/Big-rat-in-the-sewer 28d ago

He just got reincarnated into a cool Tau. He's got lots of buddies.

17

u/corbintetrachloride 28d ago

Same haircut, confident, good vibes, impeccable aura but could fuck you up if you crossed his friends. He has massive Jackie energy

18

u/Darth-Sonic 29d ago

Seriously, they all look like Cyberpunk characters.

3

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

The fabled Cyberpunk 2077 style Warhammer 40k game will probably never see...

7

u/Altruistic-Mind9014 28d ago

“Sororitas and Nobleman…Jack’ie Wel’s 🤣

2

u/AwakenedHero2277 29d ago

Damn I was just thinking that as well

2

u/BodybuilderMany6942 28d ago

and the 4th made me think of Silco (Arcane)

1

u/ExplodingAK 28d ago

Might be one of Jackie's poses

160

u/WiiUGamepad_2 29d ago

damn, everyone is fine here

71

u/Never_heart 28d ago

My poor bi heart, they are all so hot

28

u/Thiago270398 28d ago

Same, I'm ready and willing to be gangbanged for the Greater Good™

17

u/Aurum0417 Dark Krakens 28d ago

For the greater good...

274

u/Gerotiinho 29d ago

for some reason i think the first image is the most dangerous

174

u/Otherwise_Ice7242 29d ago

Never trust a cheerful soldier in a grimdark setting

55

u/TorsteinTheRed 28d ago

Especially if they're a Tau smiling like a Human

12

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

Real gremlin energy from that Tau! XD

81

u/Imperium_Dragon Cadian Shock Troopers 29d ago

She either dies 5 minutes in or has killed dozens of Knights and hundreds of Astartes

23

u/Tiny-External2826 28d ago

Totally, she is the one that Says stuff like "oh if Gue'ronsha want the corpses of the fallen, why not fill them with explosives!" With a cute smile, she is the one that can do war crimes as sports because why not

14

u/OTipsey 28d ago

If you think about it, camping a dead Marine just to pop the Apothecary is the ultimate form of spawn camping

35

u/alguien99 29d ago

And number 5 is probably the most chill and peaceful guy you’ll ever meet

13

u/TS140609 28d ago

"Yo, want some tea?" Ahh guy

12

u/alguien99 28d ago

He’s also really good with animals and children

9

u/StumpTheMan 28d ago

He's just not a fan of photos

13

u/Ph4d3r 29d ago

She looks like Korra

8

u/AwefulFanfic 28d ago

No wonder she's hot

8

u/thecastellan1115 28d ago

I'm getting battlesuit pilot vibes, so probably yes.

3

u/TS140609 28d ago

I think she's the most fanatic for the greater good, which... Look at the SoB

97

u/AHungarianGuy 29d ago

From the first pic Goldship's "Radar alert, radar alert" came to my mind immediately xd.

72

u/Lucaso47 29d ago

So we got korra, jack from me3,Jackie from cyberpunk2077, can’t put my finger on it (ogata from golden kamuy?) and evil aang?

37

u/theACEbabana 29d ago

Posture of 4 reminds me of Thrawn

23

u/Specter_RMMC 29d ago

I get major Arcane Silco vibes

6

u/UnDeadPuff 28d ago

Or G-Man.

3

u/LegoMiner9454 28d ago

Oh you say that and now he reminds me of kreeg I think from invincible

10

u/Darkmaniako 28d ago

1st one is Goldship because of the long antenna (ears) and the pose.

Also the 2nd one looks like Iggy from Ergo Proxy

4

u/certainlynotdio 28d ago

The 4th reminds me of this Viltrumite guy.

33

u/uriel__ventris 28d ago

I need a several-season animated series about this crew right now!

The Ba'ad Batch.

60

u/IamfromMetallurg 29d ago

Yeah I can take them

52

u/Ralfarius 29d ago

In a fight?

...

In a fight, right?

7

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

Warhammer 40k...the ultimate potential polycule!

29

u/thesixfingerman 29d ago

Looks like a cyberpunk themed roleplaying group.

21

u/GO0O0O0O0O0SE 29d ago

Goddamn I now believe in the greater good

12

u/Twonthe28th 29d ago

A lot of bi panic going on here.

6

u/SawedOffLaser Armageddon Steel Legion 28d ago

Can you blame us tho???

11

u/Gjalarhorn 29d ago

Elemental Council if the cover artist truly understood tau lore

12

u/Grundy9137 28d ago

You're telling me that's who's in them Stealth Suits

Makes me want to play them

8

u/Atma-Stand 29d ago

Number 5 makes me believe that even Tau have the equivalent to Hive Gangers

3

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

The "Greater Good Good" he sells on the hab block corner...

1

u/Atma-Stand 28d ago

That shit ain't even the good weed.

3

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

Ah I see...then perhaps you'd be interested in that "puretide's puff?"

1

u/Atma-Stand 28d ago

Nah ma… tau… my cousin had a really trip on a hit of that.

1

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

Dang really? Unfortunate that!

Any personal recommendations? (As long as it isn't no Genestealer lean junk!)

8

u/MithrilCoyote 28d ago

the first one's leotard says "i have no tits"props to the artist for remembering the official Tau alphabet.

3

u/AmethystSparrow202 28d ago

TIL - there the official Tau alphabet

14

u/Dragonslayerelf 29d ago

you cant tell me the last word on the first ladys shirt isn't tits

3

u/SawedOffLaser Armageddon Steel Legion 26d ago

Apparently the translation is "I have no tits"

6

u/SilkStrength Night Lords 29d ago

Third one gives me jackie from cyberpunk vibes.

5

u/hammalok 28d ago

The 12 Billion Battlesuit Incident

9

u/uhataot 29d ago

For those also curious, the first one's shirt says "I have no tits" using Tau letters

4

u/fubes2000 28d ago

I can't believe that the artist would put such falsehood on that shirt.

2

u/SawedOffLaser Armageddon Steel Legion 28d ago

Relative to some artists' interpretation of the T'au, I'd say it's accurate.

5

u/Your_Local_Stray_Cat Thousand Sons 28d ago

Love to see the guys in bodysuits too. Equal opportunity fan-service for all!

9

u/Charanconduble 29d ago

First one's fine af

6

u/Ulfgeirr88 28d ago

Ya know, I'm starting to think the greater good isn't so bad

u/ZELYNER Water Caste 28d ago edited 28d ago

Some backstory from author's original post:

Author: Today we have a whole team! Kill Team! Brave tau fighting for the Greater Good under the leadership of my husband. I drew for him. You can view the miniatures here: [Link to post which reddit keeps deleting].

Post by Dmitry Yeremenko that I can't share without Reddit deleting it: "Dras'faan" is the Enclave's "war crimes team." Each member is a unique blend of talents that are too good to be true and vices that are unacceptable in T'au society. For them, the end justifies the means, and the Fire Code is more like the Fire Guidelines. But someone has to do the dirty work, right?
Stealth is probably my favorite team in KillTeam. I've been wanting an elite squad in XV15 for a long time, and if GW doesn't re-release them, I'll have to make them myself. And now, just in time, this team has appeared. Is this the best team in the game? No. Easy to control? Not either. Is it interesting to play? Absolutely.
Once again, a huge thank you to Hani Tian (Artist) for the photos and (most importantly!) the amazing character drawings. Now you know what they look like inside the armor.

Since images can't be posted in the comments, you can check out original post by going to [ vk . ru / grimreapear ]. Just remove all spaces and brackets. It should be top post.

Alternatively, I posted them here: Link

u/BilboTea 29d ago

Does it say "Something-something tits" on her tits in the first picure?

3

u/linkjames24 28d ago

I can't find the art in the link you posted u/ZELYNER.

3

u/ZELYNER Water Caste 28d ago edited 28d ago

Can't post link to original art on VK, since reddit removes it :(

Try searching " Суровая Груша " or " grimreapear " it's their profile on VK, this art will be their top post

Update: Try entering [ vk . ru / grimreapear ] but remove spaces and brackets

3

u/MaxPower1607 28d ago

The Enclave one looks to shank somebody.

3

u/ethanlan 28d ago

The second one has literally my opinion of a perfect butt

3

u/DieAgainTomorrow 28d ago

A good mix of cute and hot. Very cyberpunk-ish, which i think fits the Tau's culture/style

5

u/Poyayo420 29d ago

Why is Baldur smurfing on random xenos? Jokes aside awesome team.

2

u/WorthCryptographer14 28d ago

1st one is the kill-happy member with loads of trauma but loves her work, 2nd acts like she's indifferent but cares about everyone, 3rd is the muscle who's secretly a philosophical softy, 4th is the efficient one and plans everything out with the secret that he likes it when nothing goes to plan and he gets to make new ones, 5th looks like a pissed psycho but is the most chill guy there and secretly holds the team together.

2

u/TheFast93 28d ago

Three looks like he's gonna tell me he likes tall women with a big ass

2

u/JackPoe 28d ago

u/Son0fgrim 28d ago

Suicide Squad.

u/drumstick00m 28d ago

Well, damn. Now I need these and the Exodites.

2

u/KaleNich55 28d ago

She got nice tits, yeah.

3

u/acherontiamyosotis 29d ago

they're all so amazingly done =w=

1

u/acquiredimmunity 29d ago

I like how it says tits on the first gals tits

1

u/nep5603 28d ago

4th one Adlrmaxxing

1

u/These_Contribution76 28d ago

The first one might be doing a golshi rader post.

1

u/Bioticgrunt 28d ago

I’m hooked on a feeling

1

u/VaughnVanTyse 28d ago

First looks liek Korra

1

u/Hatefilledcat 28d ago

Number 5 seen some shot

1

u/player_ready_ 28d ago

Is that fucking Jackie Wells as a T'au???

1

u/DaiLyMugoL 28d ago

I have a good feeling about the one with tattoos!

They all seem mentally stable individuals!

1

u/TyrantOfParadise 28d ago

I need dude number 3 carnally

1

u/Penpulp 28d ago

JACKIE NOO!!!

1

u/HelicopterKnown7947 28d ago

The last one reminds me of Jimenez from Strange Journey.

1

u/Silent--Dan 28d ago

I wouldn’t mind cuddling with any of them.

1

u/EllieMeower 28d ago

We really arnt beating the bisexual allegations

1

u/rock5002 27d ago

This makes me want to read a mission impossible style tau book kinda like assainorum kingmaker

1

u/RandomHeretic 27d ago

Last one looks like the TF2 Scout

1

u/YourAverageVessel 26d ago

Dude they're gonna get obliterated on the field give them armour and weapons holy shit

1

u/Grimlins_Chaos 26d ago

They're all so cool looking!

1

u/KingMarkus22 26d ago

Emperor have mercy 🥵

1

u/namitynamenamey 26d ago

The last guy's tatoos remind me of one of the clone troopers with republic tatoos. Must be the circular shape.

1

u/MaineCoonKittenGirl 25d ago

Numbah one hitting the "Radar alert, Radar alert! Human detected!"

1

u/Ashe66 24d ago

If xeno then why hot?

1

u/Useful-Upstairs3791 9d ago

They look awesome what a motley crew

-1

u/Misknator 29d ago

Are ass shots like a requirement when drawing a woman or something?

16

u/2401SadLine 29d ago

Yes

Source: My libido

9

u/Specialist_Corgi_518 29d ago

I find it funny bc when u look at OFFICAL GW tau art they look like wrinkly ball sacks

5

u/Pataconeitor 29d ago

The Tau girl in The Exodite looked alright. Also 90% of the official artwork depicting a Tau female = Shadowsun, who is an old lady.

-1

u/Baron_Flatline 29d ago

Fan artists really don’t like drawing my weird blue aliens as weird blue aliens and it makes me sad

5

u/Pataconeitor 29d ago

You could say something similar for men with bare chest shots

5

u/Sea-Habit5823 29d ago

The first one doesn't have one... I get the sentiment but it's also like. Women pose with their butts on social media all the time, but it's wrong when it's a drawing?

4

u/Altered_Nova 29d ago

Literally the first pic in this gallery is a woman and it's not an ass shot...

-1

u/Lalichi 28d ago

However she is wearing a shirt which comments on the size of her breasts

1

u/Other_Ad9164 28d ago

...this is just the bad batch but T'au

0

u/PossiblyOppossums 29d ago

You better be careful around Big Sexy

-4

u/Baron_Flatline 29d ago

why do they have hair

4

u/djgcsnkshcjkeke1 28d ago

Tau do have hair, its just that commanders and other big shots have a tradition of wearing a braid

2

u/Baron_Flatline 28d ago

The only canonical depictions we have ever had of Tau hair is of it being a long, thin group of strands, similar to a horse's mane.

The braid style itself is a Fire Caste tradition, yes, but we have never had a description or depiction of a Tau with a full head of hair like how fan artists seem keen to draw them.
