Warhammer 40K battle report: Tau vs. Dark Angels Rematch

[DragonbornKiller]

Anyone else notice that annoying 7 year old sitting there... ?

[taumich97]

how can the kroot destroy a tank with S4 vs rear 10 ?????!!!!

[ponysito44]

TAU EMPIRE FOR EVER !!!!

[blasterdude3]

your tactics are very flawed, why on god's green earth would you ever charge belial with any unit except maybe kroott!?!?!

[miniwars123]

is the kid smoking?

[Aragorn5802]

TAAAAUUUUUU!

HELL yeah!

[XillusionsO]

finally.a good battle report. u explain it. a bit better than most people :)

[KILOBify]

I think there's a bit too much silver on the tau, but otherwise they look good.

[jakep42zer0]

this is the most thugnificent BR ive heard in awhile

[CommissarNibbles]

which edition were you using? because in 5th edition dawn of war you only set up 2 troops and an HQ to start. And deep striking units dont come in till at least turn 2

[REAPER3382]

so i guess in table top a scout could take out a baneblade if he had the chance to? if the roll was just right?

[the567thDoctor]

Video's far from unwatchable. Turn down the volume and fire up your iPod if it's that big a deal. I didn't think the music was so bad that it wrecked my viewing.

[MrGrizzlez]

Music is annoying may aswell of put somthing like crazy frog to it it is unwatchable

[Ezziga]

3:52 Poor pricy forgeworldsuit... :P

[Slerpy4u2]

Tip, at the start of the match dont leave gun drones on your Devil Fish, use them as a shield against melee assaults for another unit (this also makes it so when gun drones die they dont count for KPs) If your attempting to Fish of Fury (this is a devilfish+gundrone+firewarrior tactic of mowing down enemy squads) just use 2 Devil fish together in a V formation leaving 2>3'' between thier noses (pointed at enemy to fire Burst cannons) and unload FWs between them and rapid fire..

[Slerpy4u2]

As well, if have crisis suites (Plasma rifle/Missile pod + multi tracker is good all around, and plasma burns down marines/termies w/o giving them armor saves) you can move the Devil fish 12'', move crisis suit 6'' fire, assault an additional 6'' to stay behind your devil fish. If you adjust FW squad size you can ensure that if a transport gets knocked out they can all still get into 1 transport..and loaded they count as scoring units for objective holds (dont have to unload)

[Slerpy4u2]

Just remember to enforce the no enemy base can come withing 1'' of transport/tanks unless assaulting, and there must be a minimum of a 3'' gap between them for a model to single file pass thru them, slightly less and they have to run all the way around buying you plenty of time to scoot away and set up for another volley

[Slerpy4u2]

Also noticed your Fish was killed by a dread in Close combat, if you move more than 6'' it automatically requires a 6 to hit in melee. (not sure if you caught that or not, alot of people dont.)

[spearoflife]

continued post- y sqauds that it doesn't matter becuase of the bad kill point system. But htis would of been averted with point cost.

[spearoflife]

I hate kill points, it means an IG army can just glob all of his troops together into liek 80 units and you kill all of that its only 1 thing, thats why the point based system where you do it on how expensive each unit is.

[hereticofyew]

@spearoflife Kill points suck for mech tau as well you have firewarriors mounted in a fish thats 1 pts for the unit, one for the fish then 1 for the gun drones!!! that is why this guy won

[spearoflife]

Well what im saying is that the worth of the unit is a better way to get an accurate score and better way to see who won. regular killpoints favor a highly elite low amount of actual units. So for example if im ork horde playing a marine player with high elite low mob units, well he mows down half your dirt cheap squads and you only kill two or three of his Hella expensive squads, well even tho you killed more costly squads and you coulda still killed all but one unit and he still killed so man

[LoTRx40kPeeWee]

@hereticofyew lol no the drones on ships dont count as other kill points because they arnt coherent, they are not a unit in normal numbers, so they dont count for anything, just to annoy

[blasterdude3]

@LoTRx40kPeeWee yes they do, it says in the FAQ that gun drones from d-fish count as KPs

[taumich97]

@blasterdude3 no the gun drones from a d-fish doesn't count as kill points but a gundrone team counts as one, the d-fish counts as killpoints.

[Namelessman102]

how come tau never win?

[Fireflyer11]

excuse me, i win almost all my matches, as a tau and necron player, they are a hard army to play but played right they kick deriare

[Namelessman102]

true but they also can be easily beaten if the opponent finds your weaknesses

[f1rehawkZ]

do you think Tau is too difficulty for a first-time player? Just curious for advice.

[kuhj278]

My first 40k army was tau and I didn't them difficult at all, And I'm only 13. The only hard thing is to choose battlesuit weapon and support systems and all but it's not too difficult

[thedarklordellesar]

i always win with tau

[SuperCyberTv]

i play them, its because they are bad at close combat, you need luck to play tau.

[onewingedangel2]

SONS OF THE LION !!!!!

[22startube]

who is the Dark Angels and who is the Tau?

[darthkilzone]

a chapter of space marines and a race

[22startube]

i know that, i collect dark angels, i meant which player has dark angels and which player has tau

[Fireflyer11]

the witch hunter army of the marines, and the best alien army out there!

[22startube]

??? i dont know where that came from, but sure, whatever you say

[TheChaosUndivided]

How the hell did the Tau player have so much on the board if it was dawn of war deployment?

[wargamerLoki]

Sha'so + Two crisis suit body guards, + 2 teams of fire warriors = 1 HQ and 2 Troop choices

[TheChaosUndivided]

Oh i see, i missed the starting part, i was looking when it showed all of his reserves on...

My bad :P

[doom978]

ur units comin turn one auto in DoW

[TheChaosUndivided]

ooooooh

[Mr12toe]

lol at 1:05

[Tenchijk]

that bridge looks effen awsome.

[worrpaintball]

DA Termies can Deep Strike one turn one, it's called Deathwing Assault

[shadowslayer322]

u cant deep strike on turn one r u retarted?

[TrueBritons]

You know shadowslayer332, retarded is not a word you want to misspell. It makes one laugh at the oxymoron.

[gladiator7474]

how many point armies are they playing???

[madmord]

have a third rould to sees hows beter!

[madmord]

i am going to colect and play warhammer 40k but i dont know how to play can some body mesage me how it works and how to play

[dled090]

Honestly, go in, find a Games Workshop near you and have their staff run you through an intro game. They have practice explaining it to you.

[riskmusic]

Or he could just buy a rule book....

[hutchy1k94]

just go to a store and ask them to teach you. They teach you for free and usually do one hour sesions for 5-7 weeks.

[darthkilzone]

i hate saimhann and ravenwing wen i play tau

[Avtek60]

a Kroot is strength 4 on RA 10 he just needs 6s to glance, judging from the vid, it looks like there are 6 kroot left, and on the charge they have 2 attacks, giving him 12 attacks, now if the vindicator didn't move which i don't think that it did, they auto hit, and then they just need the 6's

[bohater0]

yah i loove the dark angles ^^ there im first chapter in 40k yay

[baitout]

how did ur kroot hurt the tank?

[lilcrzym0nkeY7890]

how come some Tau players lose? is it because the way they play is it bad luck?

[Darforl]

Thats a bad question, if there's such a thing.

[BionicleHarry]

well, with tau you have to think REAL tactics. if you have no tactics for tau, they suck.

[darthkilzone]

wow now that i think about it ur right i meen there baisicly a 1 shot wound if they hit,like a real solider with a real gun, and there not ninjas or barbariens so they cant fight that well and u do haveto use real millatry tactics

[GoW1BallhArD]

i just rolled tau, i hope its easier to win then you guys made it out to be

[bohater0]

nice tau is kool but for a space m's how many are in a squad or does it not matter?....yeah im new to it.

[miniwolf52]

10 marines per tactical sqaud, or you can split them in half into 2 sqauds of 5

[DreamsDemize]

i play fallen angels... or starting a fallen angels army, only cause i play chaos and dark angels are pretty cool

[DGPsk8]

I personally play DARK ANGELS!!!!! (best chapter ever!) The deathwings are well painted! So anyway i hate the original orange/yellow color tau..but these r nice..

[Ironzealot7531]

i had a black templar army, but I eventually sold it because 9 out of every 10 WH40k players plays SMs

Out of my group of 10 or so guys, no less than 6 played some chapter of Space Marines. Eldar seems to be the second most popular, with two people playing them.

Now I play Dark Eldar, but they seriously need to put out an updated DE codex. I mean seriously.

[magikmhan321321]

song?

[iianriaan]

uh.... i love tau(even though i dont play them) but you went down kinda fast and it did look like he put a lot more points then you.. cool paint job btw

[clarence112]

[hardrockfreak1337]

Tau are pretty crappy in 5th ed.

[JXLpixel2]

they're only crappy in close combat, so you keep them in difficult terrain and hope for the best

[GunsNRoses1337]

How fucking stupid can one person get. Jesus, you are retarded.
