Eldar Rumour Titbits

[eldargal]

I thought "pets"

That is the eldar definition of pet, minus the specificity of 'little blue people'.

does this mean the eldar created the smurfs too?( not the ultra kind )

[Mr Mystery]

Where does this theory that the Eldar guided Tau evolution?

Never come across so much as a hint in the general background stuff?

[Psychosplodge]

There's been little hints but I can't think where I've seen them

[eldargal]

It is in Xenology I believe.

[Archon Charybdis]

It's an extrapolation from a few details in Xenology, and the fact that the Ethereals appeared out of nowhere to miraculously unify Tau society and kick start a era of technological advancement.

[DrLove42]

That and Tau, the warp neutral race are a biological weapon capable of defeating chaos

[Mr Mystery]

Sounds far more like a Necron attempt meself. Perhaps a rogue Cryptek, or indeed Crypteks, seeking to engineer suitable bodies for bio transference?

I did have Xenology, but sadly lent it to a mate who did a bunk, book and all. I remember it subtely suggesting the Ethereal was comprised of various bio thingies seen in the other creatures, but not alluding to who?

[DrLove42]

Necrons were still dormant when the Ethereals appeared

[Mr Mystery]

I dunno dude....it's said some cells were up and about during the Heresy. Not being encountered, and not being about are two different things.

Besides, IIRC, the Tau went from Cavemen to Supertechrobotjox in 2,000 or so years? Necrons were defo up and about at that point.
