"BUT THEY DON"T EVEN MELEE!" - Kitten

Firewarrior:"What kind of creature only wants to fight in the entirety of it´s life?? What kind of species consumes entire planets?? AND HOW THE HELL IS THIS SOLDIER ROTTING IN HIS ARMOR STILL ALIVE???"

The only faction I can play and feel clean afterward. That, or a rebel human faction using imperial guard units.

Let me save you some time! Tau guns go pew pew pew, and Tau melee goes *insert Tau death noise here*

*kitten holding back his un ending rage when he says everyones fav race*

I get most have a hate boner for Tau, but truthfully I relate more to them. First off I could careless if you're alien or not, if you're semi-competent in what you do and are willing to put your talents and skills for the benefit of people in general and/or for me then yeah who cares. Second, their approach to warfare with putting more emphasis on range and scanning tech I'm all about. Yeah you can have the better physical defenses and more firepower, but if I can see you well before you see me I can either hit you from that range or I can find ways to utterly ruin your day with careful coordination and well timed strikes. Or draw you in to a fight on my terms on a ground I choose. Their lack of CQC skill does need to be addressed that's for sure, but the Tau understand this have made it a point to try to employ those better suited to that kind of warfare with the use of the Kroot and the Vespid. Utilizing their superior range in support with coordination with those who are better suited with CQC to limit their loses as best as possible while eliminating important targets like officers and incoming reinforcements to drain the moral of the enemy and to lessen their combat effectiveness to aid their own allies who are effectively taking the brunt of the force in melee. Also dropping in their heavy support with quick insertions of battlesuits to hit heavy weapons and logistic support to further cripple and compound the issues within the enemy ranks. In general you could say the Tau's approach to warfare is similar in ways to Patton in WWII, keep the enemy perpetually off-balance by keeping them backing up on their heels as you drive them back and take away their greatest strengths and best assets by lightening swift assaults and unrelenting momentum. Biggest difference though is tech and better utilization of tactics to refine this methodology into an art that has been mostly effective while being able to be flexible and adaptable when required.

And just as i get to know more about the Tau (i can say they are becoming my favorites) this video is uploaded

The Tau don't do close-quarter combat. Tell that to Commander Farsight and his officers who know that when dealing with Orks, Space Marines, and finding out the true threat of Chaos. He knew that close-quarter was always inevitable. That's why he's trying to convince the rest of the Tau Empire to be prepared.

The amount of misinformation even in official sources is mind boggling. Tau: Fire Warrior GW: Lets make one of the most powerful weapons in the game weaker than a Lasgun. Codex Tau: TAU EYES DON'T FOCUS as quickly as human eyes making them slightly disadvantaged in melee. GW: Lets just delete everything that isn't in caps, I'm sure no wrong conclusions could be drawn from this. GW says the Tau will be able to fight real time and keep what they take in the democles golf campaign, Tau Players take so much space their empire would expand to three times it's previous size. GW: well we cannot have that. Ward: Ultra Marines need more cool fluff, Make them kill thousands of Tau. Fluff: But the UltraMarines are still trying to rebuild their numbers and are dedicated to a totally different region? Ward:Did I stutter? Tau players win the Nimbosa Campaign, GW: Well you won too hard so the Inqui- I mean Tau leaders will censure you. OneMindSyndicate: Here is a totally unbiased Look at Tau Warfare. Look How good the Imperium is at counter acting these devious xenos.

Tau use more 21st century asymmetric warfare unlike the Imperial guard which uses more 19th century picket lines. So technically the Tau are better. Please leave the usual "heresy" comments below where I can ignore them

Tau > Imperium

Lol "everyone's favorite race" he says

Just purchased my first unit since I was a child. Got my paints and ready to go lol!. Got the Tau Empire Commander and totally gonna paint him in the classic Gundam color scheme . Tau are what got me into wanting to start back up. The one last shinning light of hope, in a universe gone dark.

Question: Had the Men of Iron not rebelled would humanity have weathered the birth of Slaanesh?

What an amazing and very informative video. This covers both who the Tau are in action and word. While also using historical information to create a narrative for the video.

I really enjoyed this one, fellas. Well done!

Coolest faction

33:00 You were just checking if we were still listening, weren't you!

coolest faction in WH40k

MORE ELDAR! Specifically Aeldari characters. Eldrad Ulthran. Jain Zar. Asurmen.

filthy xenos =][= the emperor protects =][=

I LIKE TAU!

11:16 is this a misunderstand by the Tau seeing as they are cut off from the warp?

the last season of game of thrones thing was funny. Try to make some videos with some humor like that, pretty funny. Also, love when you make these videos into connected stories as much as possible.

Lore: Kroot are willing and able to go toe to toe with orks I get why they can’t be that way in-game, but it would still be cool.

All of that is great and all but it's important to remember humanity first. Purge the xenos with fire.

Have the Necron ever laid claim to a world 'ruled' by Orks?? If so, how did that go down?? If not, would the Necron give a grace period to the Orks?? Or just be like, 'F these little freaks'??

"Far shootier than some shitty bunch of pirate gitz" 😂👌

QUESTION: Is there an animation or gameplay of a tau army in action? I don't mean battle report.

since tau has advanced technology they can even possibly weaponized ork spores and spawn them and can be used as psykers due to the waagh if ever they can control a certain ork spawn lol just my theory.

Wonder if we will see more details on the other races they use, say like the Vespids?

I want Tau units that are essentially earth cast skitarii

"BUT THEY CANT EVEN FIGHT IN MELEE!" -Kitten, captain-general of the adeptus custodes "ABSOLUTLY DISCRACEFULL" -God-Empereor of mankind

11:52, is the name of the sword "prime beef"?

so the best way to force the orks to retreat is to remove their supply of cigars

Love the tau! Thanks for the video man!

Tau's Warfare is best warfare... love my water-caste sisters.

Can you guys do a video on the Taros campaign?

Humanity in its prime would have crushed everyone today. But alas, it is how it iiiis

Suggestion: necrons, you are my favorite

More Tau

More tyranids!!

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!

1:46 the hell was that?! 😂

6:15 Welll that's weird. This guys armor

LOL, 'everyone's favorit race' is only alive cz the Imperium's too busy fighting back Chaos, Tyranids, Orks, Necrons and the Eldar to put their little upstart empire down in a crusade. Otherwise the Tau would have been purged already. The Tau can be thankful for all the other foes of the Imperium otherwise they would be now blueberry mush...

DO ELDAR! please lol

Ko’vash Tau’va Shas’ Vre

Squats they're not technically xenos but......

Allen Scott

Seventh.

Not the first

Tau vs Imperium is basically Germany vs USSR in WW2 the Tau have much better tech (for the most part) but the Imperium have an inexhaustible manpower reserve

DVD Game of what?

You will all be part of the empire. The Greater Good is inevitable!

For the Greater Good!!!

This was bugging me in the beginning, cadre is pronounced Kah druh or kad ree

Favourite faction in 40K. The actual real ''Good Guys'' of the universe.

*COMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS*

Of course the Tau are the best!!!!

Why does everyone hate the tau so much, and don’t give me that “They are filthy xenos” crap

Game of thrones ?

Question: Who would be the unarmed gladiator king out of all the core 40k races/warriors? Space Marine Guard troop, ogryn, Boring Eldar, Epic Party Eldar, kroot, orks, necrons etc. No weapons. Mano a mano.

Can you do a lore about Imperial Garden Warfare😁 please )for the emperor

The Tau warfare is shoot from a very far away distance and die in melee from everyone.

Tau warfare is the same as the "French Advanced Military tactics"

Suggestion: tau

Fucking space weeabo opening Chaos portal.

The Korps would end the Tau empire

XD

Stc of. Got

QUESTION: what would have happened if the tau were able to convert orks to the greater good?

Love the vids, but could you pay a bit more attention to the pronunciation of sept names? Au'taal doesn't have an a at the end of it, T'ros has the t pronounced separately, etc. Apostrophes do denote breaks in pronunciation

MELEE IS THE WAY OF THE MANKIND!

No commercials Baagawd!!

They consider melee barbaric? It's one reason why they hate Orks, among others...conquest through subversion. | Do they know of the Abominable Intelligences that the space communists use? | 8:30 - It'll go downhill for both. | 11:45 - (monotone) All hail the Ultrasmurfs. | Why deal with the problem, when you can make others do it for you. | Their warcry being: WAAAAGH!!! | 23:25 - Yeah, THAT one. | 28:45 - He'd declare that on anyone. | 30:37 - Cunning by their standards...if they run away, they don't die as they can come back for another go. | 32:40 - You made that up.

The blueberries are only alive because the Damocles " Crusade" was only a joke . Want to see a Crusade see the Indomitus Crusade that was the real deal if that happens to the blueberries game over.

Disgusting xenos

Tau don't have souls, they feel nothing, they're just like the ants and wasps.

Out of all the races I think the Tau have the worst looking models. I mean they look cool but all blend into one and lack individuality and that wow factor.

First

Oh look, it's those aliens that took Anime and Japanese history too far and became the "Big Blue Weeaboo Blob". Nice.
