DoW-Dark Crusade replay: Imperial Guard Vs Tau Part 1

[SASteambravo4]

If you ask me, IG should have had a unit of fully upgraded Kisrkis, the elite commandos of the IG. Totally oblitarates all light and heavy units, even tau. IF used correctley. I always rely on them to sneek around the side and take out the enemy from the back while your main force (hellhounds, chimeras and imperial guardsmen) attack the front.

[NicholasGeschke]

The Tau excel at long range combat. Their weaponry is extremely powerful, but their close-range abilities are mediocre at best. When it comes to strategy - they rely on speed, stealth and overwhelming firepower.

The Imperial Guard rely on their numbers, and on their tanks. You can defeat the Tau by closing the distance using armored support, and powerful close-range fighters like Ogryns.

Just be wary of the Kroot - as they also excel at close range.

[HolyxHellfire]

imperial guard: uses melee hero to attack the best ranged hero....at range, then sends guardsmen into water for 0 cover while same ranged hero mows them down...

[indicer123]

i think that imperial guard would win if u had all the upgrades and vehicles

[The99thLegion]

wow, you killed the IG commander in around 30 seconds lol!

[shadow123474]

that IG is noob...! letting the general to SHOOT at tau commander...that is...[no comment] and no granade launchers...i can't tell all the mistakes in one comment !

[VermillionVance]

IG never die! They just go to hell and regroup!

[thatdudeoverthere456]

i can imagin massin the imperial guards. it wood make massin marines in starcraft 2 look so bad. XD

[makemap]

Man ever since the unit capping Imperial is so easy to kill. I have to think they build way too slow.

[GamerLamer19]

0:25 "Durr, what is melee..."

[LukaRUSSPlit]

You dont know how to play IG

[MGGoblin]

Imperial guard is an excellent army. It's just not designed for frontal attackers or rushers. Space Marine, Chaos and Necrons are by excellence the "brute" armies. Eldar, Orks, and IG are more sutile, they forgive no mistake, they are hard to use. That's why everybody insults them... because they are not easy to use.

[animewarrior3]

@MGGoblin shet eldar and IG kick ass. specially if u can get the avatar with the eldar hehe. and massed guards with grenade launchers and some tank support are alot deadly then u think. just gotta micro the squads to make sure they keep unit count up :/. space marines my fav though good in defence and offense.

[Megalordjack]

noob ?

[nrevelations777]

I absolutely love how his commander never melees anything, despite being great in melee, esp vs, Tau, who are bad in melee and need time to set up their basic weapon.

[thatkidseth]

*vespid* OI YOU STUPID HUMANS, STOP FLASHING THAT LIGHT IN MY EYES, its annoying.

[www816]

this is trhe biggest peice of shit ever!

[agarside1000]

HURRY UP AND GET THE SPACE GOATS IN MELEE!! THEY ARE EVEN WORSE THAN US IN HAND TO HAND!

[THExLEGITxGAMER]

what program do u use for recording?

[risker34]

thumbs up if you really thot the IG stood a change i didnt

[NINJAGUY24]

dude the ig player sucked

[rinidujo]

map?

[Megalordjack]

@rinidujo bloodriver

[Sl1f3rDrag0n]

Imp Guard Commander: LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT

[lordsmelly5]

how did u get the camera to follow the squads?

[Gaurdsman221]

should have stopped going in the river lol

[forceunleshed09]

IG are absolute crap. One pistol shot will kill them (all) and then the comanders just scream like a pig and they would 'charge in the other direction'.

[Kanturk4eva]

@forceunleshed09 lol fuck you one las pistol shot could kill a chaos space marine if your lucky enough, and that game is practically nothing compared to the table-top, IG kick some serious ass if you can play them right

[infintry2]

how many men can get into an IG squad?

10? :)

[REAPER3382]

whats the largest ammount of men in a tau squad of fire wariors?

[VentralCrisps]

6 regulars, and 2 Shas'Ui

[REAPER3382]

why the hell did i ask that? i knew. i dont know why i typed that. but i am into imp guard now and i know thats alot of men

[deone67]

dude can u tell me how to zoom in that close anybody

[REAPER3382]

its an option. i think its full 3d revolution

[McBoothie94]

you cant just look at one place for the whole game you have to look at different points and keep the camera angle normal unless you actually know how to use it which you dont

[Henners1991]

I stopped at 0:39 when I saw Guardsmen run into negative cover whilst under fire from a burst cannon...

[captinalpha]

what team are u if u are tau the imperial gurd are on easy or u suck with them

[natedog12100]

1:10 peaceful to bloody in 10 seconds

[lubi125]

What the heck has that IG performance? I would have make the general to charge the commander! not to shoot him! Tau shooting Owns

[MGGoblin]

@lubi125 I agree. Imperial Guarsmen... without commissars... and standing there shooting te Tau commander, instead of facing him in close combat... pathetic. This guy doesn't know to play GI. Besides, the IG commander should have priests with him, then the Tau is owned. You take the Techpriest and build a turret in the Tau base, with 3 full squads the new tau created die easy, you just dont allow them to shoot. Is pretty easy. It's the player that sucks, not te IG.

[samwarp8]

howed u record this

to show on youtube?

[Pengvin0]

Fraps or Gamecam for teh winz

[MrW4tch3R]

if ypu want to beat a tau with ig in the begining you cold use 1 or 2 ig squads as melle meat shield

to keep the firewariors busy

2 more ig with grenades defended by the comander with 2 priests or 1 priest and a psyker should do the trick

[DaHazmo]

In real 40K kroots are ok. Theyre mostly cannon fodder beacause they are the only real melee in tau. The enemy charges them before they can charge beacause a kroot could beat a orc in close combat even if the orcs were charging.

[NINJAGUY24]

Dude i personally think tau defenses suck altough they have GREATER ofensive i personally like both IG and tau

[doomage121]

loool the I G are getting owned so bad , even in winter assult they are shit to, but i love that tank u get when u have your full scale upgrade....

[lubi125]

So much for game balance...

[iloveasiangirls]

oh how i hate the tau

soo powerful :/

[trogon739]

Tau can stand up to mostly anything sept Necrons ^^.I mostly get fully upgraded stealth suits about 7 or 6 and they kill everything easy.Fire warriors have very good range xD

[DaHazmo]

Theyre called vespids

[DaHazmo]

In real 40k kroots rule!

[RatsRMoreAlive]

hehe vespids owned guards men at 4:19

[metalliam203]

i love tau kroot and vespids rock

[HamerXT1994]

wow the player kinda sux man. If u wanna play guardsmen, u gotta spam so many of em that the opponent cries when they see it. If not start building VEHICLES or at least heavy bolter turrets

[patataton]

the IG player here is doing it so bad

he only creates standard guard with no upgrades and chimeras

man, get a comisar a priest and for god shake BASILISK!!! (i love them, you can put the hell out of those tau)

[kuddurss]

uhm lol why is the IG leader (forgot his name) shooting he has much better close combat and knockdown blow

[nightmage94]

beginning is total fail, tau commander SUCK at h2h combat and imperials comm is good at it so why the hell was he shooting?!

[oknoob]

10 Facts 1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video, tomorrow will be your best day ever! no matter what

[Dodershift]

Damn cowardly tau! At 5:12 The commisar engaged him in fair combat...And the yellow bellied bastard ran! The greater good DOESN'T stop power swords then?

[5k4k1dhtp]

That's called strategy, if you can't fight in close combat, retreat to shoot.

[Dodershift]

Still fucking coward though

[nikiosko]

you can choose: or u dont run and die in honor or u run, live and strike back to get the killing blow!

[Dodershift]

This is tau were talking about... their just cowards

[jommodagreat]

at 2:40 then? IG ran away from the .... wth are they called now ...? The moscito things ....... xD

[Grayfox354]

IG never run! They just charge in the opposite direction! XD

[Ericgoestowar]

Imperial Guard is Awsome!

[LAND37]

@Grayfox354 right into a commisars las pistol

[Ingledon]

moral of guardsmen is crap but they are only human...

[universalrocker1024]

do you now my lill bro is named tau

[Foolfyer]

Of all the Imperial Gaurd replays I've seen they never garrison their troops :(

[Claugmaru]

Best IG tactic on small maps - 1 guardsmen squad + 1 separated commisar set on melee combat mode for the first fast attack. The build tactica control, research grenades, 1 more commisar, 1 more squad to reinforce those who are currently fighting on enemy's base, equip everyone with grenades. Hold the enemy until techpriests build some turrets on enemy base, after that nothing can be done to stop you.

[Krieg13]

Gotta love the tau mechs with rail guns...There's only a handful of weapons as powerful as em, but most of those aren't on a highly mobile platform along with other weapons as well.

[eyalgracyani889]

how you can do that the soldiers say other thing for capturing was easy holding will be hard

[joesharples12]

u get in combat with tau exept for the kroot

[ExecutorOnslaught]

why is this player so nooby

[bambinok]

aren't TAU the ones who's standard infantry unit has the longest range and most firepower?

[ExecutorOnslaught]

longest range yea

most firepower nah

[CmdrFoxDavion]

The IG player was a noob to send his HQ unit in to die like that, he put himself in an economic disadvantage by doing that. Game over already.

[lovelygreebo]

The imperial fools will give up if they know whats good for em!!!!

[SU85]

for the greater good!!!!!!

[lovelygreebo]

Indeed!!!!!!

[panos22192]

hahahahaha on 1.42 the tau commander smokes in hes suit

anyway nice vid

[2nurds]

Tau are so cheap. Fire warriors need a nerf in damage. Not a huge one, but at least by 25%. For a first tier unit, they're unstoppable at range with even the most MINOR of melee control (one 4 base kroot squad, 2 fire warrior squads and a tau commander early game is enough to kill just about any race.)

I realize that the tau are the kings of range, but they shouldn't have that much power early game. Pooooooooooooo

For the Tau, online 2v2 2 IG players vs necrons and space marines very good

[lovelygreebo]

Keeping whining biatch!!! Nothing unfair about firewarriors, just look at how crap at hand to hand they are! Anyone with skills can rush em!

[Fr0st1989]

They beat guardsmen in melee easily. <_<

[caos1925]

so which 1 were u

[Agent1W]

Not only that, but I lost to a Tau player on account of his Kroot units. If I can put my finger on one big IG weakness, it is assault. Literally, it's the "I WIN" button unless you can back your troops up with armor.

[helios440]

TAU FTW!

[jackbjossi]

you are not good playing imperials try some other team....

[XTheVzlaX]

dude, is he actually playing, or is it just the computar, like a demo, and how do you like follow a squad of guys? like key thingy do you do?

[blahblah3133]

I don't get this guy. Unless he is a new guy, he would know that he should engage the Tau in melee...

[REDTEROR]

teh guards men where not sue to its full potencialm why nto get grenade laucher to break teh tau shoting tehn use the bsilisk its works every time.

[kwarski]

why didn't the guard commander engage that shas'o with his lightning claws. the retchid x enos would have died at the hands of the emperors servant

[Sangheilitat117]

Pah. Vile xeno scum.

For the Tau, death comes in shadows.

[agftw]

this tau player is the biggest noob I have ever seen.... tau own guard every time when I play and I have played actualy people online and vs'd 3 guards comps on harder difficulty and every time my kill to death ratio is like 100/1 this guy was just the biggest noob I have ever seen and a disgrace to tau

[matthewmcewan]

yep i have barely ever seen tau be beaten but putting any team up against imperial guards is an easy win for some strange reason they always lose i think ive only seen them win once

[suckerno2]

forget my last post i seen a match online 2v2 2 IG players vs necrons and space marines the guards owned them i guess ive just seen imperial guard players that aint very good

[IAmDeadNow46]

Love how at 5:00 the guardsmen just let the tau commander shoot at them like that.

[cotloner]

needs a comissar

[gayhobbit]

1 tau squad could hold off 3 imperial guard squads

[thundertydus]

FTGG

For The Greater Good

[splashie777]

.....y is there no chaos tau ? or chaos orks .... i mean everything should have a darker side t balance it out ?

[musicmasterliam]

There is no chaos tau because they don't give off the physic waves meaning that if chaos tries to corrupt them they just shake it off, and also the etherals give of powerful pheromones to control the rest of the tau castes, and chaos perfers humans to orks, who don't really care for religion.

[MKllDark4ngel]

tau are doing good and i respect them they are wasting the orks beating back chaos which is a must and doing a even war against the imperium they control lots of the eastern fringe and fight ultramarines alot which is cool and they are smart enough to not do a direct assault into imperium space unlike the other races.....yep they will definetly come out on top

P.S. I play imperial guard Vostroyan First Born so you should know from that that i do respect them

[musicmasterliam]

They haven't felt the full force of a proper imperial crusade, the damocles campaign sucked because the forces had to be diverted to attack tyranids, which take more of a priorty. if the Imperium wanted to they could wipe out the tau easy, but they just see them as a big threat to them.

[MKllDark4ngel]

yea plus both sides were taking to much casualties and gaining nothing in the crusade if i were the commander i jus ditch to

[MKllDark4ngel]

oh and the imperium obviously could take out the tau at any time but it will prove exceedingly difficult so teh damocles crusade wasnt a full crusade still it only took over civillian colonies before (without knowing) attacking a tau sept world which was rather well stupid they were held back wave after wave until both sides starting to gain nothing so they pulled out because of that and the approaching tyranids(dang tyranidsbet the IG would rather fight tau then nids

[musicmasterliam]

3 space marine chapters could merk any tau force!

[Taushasel]

diverting 3 SM chapters would prob put a hole for enemies to go straight into imperium space plus if it got to out of hand the tau would just send a huge force against them and crush them

[ramderfran1]

that was stupid waers the leman russes and the hellhounds AND THE WALKERS!!!!!!! baneblades u need armor dammit!

[hulahoop34]

WHERES THAT ARTLLERY!

[zer0nix]

ig commander on ranged vs TAU + guardsmen walking right into negative cover = i stopped watching :|

[fixdeluxe1]

Cool Nice work

[CHAOSMARINE234]

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!

[KrazyKraut101]

wat greater good? WTF

[CHAOSMARINE234]

its the taus battle cry. DF

[Qscwdv37]

good vid who where you playing as?

[JoE12309393]

i guess you really gotta know the race your playing! cuz imps are really good if you know how to use them

[Mazryonh]

Exactly! Why didn't they take some of the balance changes from that mod and put it in the stock game?!

[40kig]

Part #2 is coming soon!

[longrange90]

a last thing , look in this speed , the ig CAN't fight in T1 , his guys are expensive and useless without plasma , , tha why we must bunker in his base and Tteching T2

[Mazryonh]

Tau, one of the most overpower races in DC, vs. IG, one of the most UNDERPOWERED races in DC!

[Savakka]

Iam no playing much as IG, But i have learned that IG player must reinforce IG squads to full strenght, both in manpower and weapons, and player must try to use commisars everywhere where is fighting(too bad that you can only have 3 commisars),and IG should try to get tanks ASAP, IG has the best tanks in game(leman russ,baneblade and hellhound are must)

[diehard272727]

dont forget the basilisk from ranged 2-3 of em can kick some ass!
