And just like real commies their whole theme is that their constantly besieged by powerful enemies lmao

Very cool except for the “communism is when everyone is poor” implication at the end.

It is interesting how Games Workshop suddenly remembers how to do satire but with one of only two commie-coded factions in the game

And I can already see the brain-dead imperium players being like “oh sure theyre cool and can simultaneously fight off a Necron dynasty, a Tyranid hive fleet, and marauding Ork armies…but have you considered they’re poor and commulism is when no bread”

But regardless this is now the tankie faction and I will defend it with my life

Woah woah woah, you also get to possibly die in combat against horrible eldtrich foes, jacked up green football hooligans or BDSM people who have gone off the deep end.

Ah, freedom :freedom-and-democracy:

they realized that they were going to lose their small niche faction of communist T’au players after they rewrote them to be more grimdark so they probably came up with this to try and not lose that 0.1% of plastic figurines sales

since this is the first time I’ve even faintly thought about playing this game in decades of knowing a lot about it, maybe they are going for new markets…

I think the strongest proof is just the name - URSR. Everything else is kinda…iffy?

an ascetic lifestyle with bare minimum of food, light, air, and heat in exchange for keeping their armies well-stocked.

This is the entire Imperium when GW remembers that it’s supposed to be an anti-human shitpile. Eat your corpsestarch and praise the Emprah.

I haven’t read the whole of the lore, So feel free to ignore me as wrong, but I suspect they mean this in comparison to the other Leagues. If you were to compare them to a hive worlder they would probably be considered to live in luxury.
