* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Several times, due to the setting.



* {{Catchphrase}}: As standard for the T'au, they are fond of declaring ''"For the Greater Good"''. [[spoiler:In their final confrontation, Kelseth sardonically throws this line back at Lako'ma, and in effect at the T'au race.]]

** The Stealth Suit squad annihilate a small party of Krieg troopers, shearing their Chimera transport in half with plasma fire and then [[spoiler:save one]] wiping the squad out. This is apparently the entire point of Mont'ka - an overwhelming surprise attack that does maximum damage.

* {{Irony}}: During her confrontation with Kelseth in Episode 3, Lako'ma insists that the T'au Empire does not stand for vengeance and hate. However, when Kelseth [[spoiler:kills Doro'm and summons an Aeldari Warhost (with one of their Titans blasting a transport that kills her commanding officer) Lako'ma flies to a rage and tackles Kelseth with the intent to kill him. However, the shuffle causes them to stumble into the Webway Gate. When it is discovered that Lako'ma is lost in the Drukhari city of Commorragh, a Harlequin Death Jester appears and can't help but be amused by the fact that her attempt for revenge has caused her to be stranded in one of the worst places to be in the entire galaxy.]]

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: Through the conflict between Shas'vre Lako'ma and Kelseth, the differences between the cultures and worldviews of the two alien warriors are explored and contrasted. Lako'ma is a soldier of an mechanistic alien species, gradually expanding into the universe under a manifest destiny to spread a hopeful ideology among the stars. Kelseth is the last of a sect of alien warriors from a race that enjoyed their golden age millions of years before the rise of the upstart humanity and T'au, now clinging to traditions and spirituality and desperate to keep them alive. Kelseth dismisses Lako'ma's arguments and the tenets of "Greater Good" utilitarianism as simplistic philosophy at odds with the bitter realities of the CrapsackWorld that is the ''Warhammer 40000'' universe, and the subtext seems to suggest the audience are expected to agree.

* ContinuityNod: During their final confrontation, Lako'ma mentions how Kelseth's people were once the dominant species of the galaxy. Kelseth further adds that his people, in their arrogance and decadence, gave birth to the Chaos God Slaanesh, which led to the creation of the Eye of Terror and the collapse of their empire.
