Yo my Tau dude, I was talking with you about that list a few days ago, talking about commanders behind your troops and how I'd have taken a broadside but that's just me.
How did that list fare in the end? You played with it yet?
Evan Thompson
Xth for orks
Jason Campbell
Sounds familiar I'll have a look.
Parker Moore
>a White Scar going TOO fast Well, it is a timely end I guess.
David Barnes
How did you acquire that middle finger hand?
I wanted to convert the clenched fist hand in the nobz kit to be flipping someone off. Very classic ork tradition that must be kept alive
Asher Edwards
Chaos bros, what models do you use as obliterators and havocs? The normal resin kits? Plastic devastators and resin obliterators? Conversions? I started chaos shooty recently and I need Ideas.

I'm going to field this in a local tournament and you can't stop me
Daniel Morgan
That's actually really similar to a freemason initiation/rehearsal

Landon Ross
The Last Hunt and the Scars serie are must read for WS fans.
Juan Thompson
Sweet Forgeworld upgrade kits and resin Oblits. Converting either just makes them look like shit and out of place unless you are greeenstuff god already.
Nathaniel Myers
Yo don't leave me on read bitch
Sounds like you've not used it yet though?
Michael Peterson
Hey mang, it was pretty nice against most things until I came up against AdMech. Dear god, those beep-boops can shit out an obscene number of S6 AP-2 shots. I got tabled hard that game. In the end I only had characters on the table. A broadside would have died on turn one, as it was the Commanders all died fast. I think we ended at the start of turn 4. Still hopeful for the list doing reasonably well in the tourney.
A little show of the Arx Angelicum. Shame the dude didn't try to portray the defining traits of the BA, like the Sarcophagus room, the tower of Amaretto, etc. As it is now, it could practically be any chapter, but it's still very impressive.
Zachary Ross
Can somebody share the Daemon Codex so I can distract myself from crippling depression?
Charles Wright
Patrician tastes. Make sure to paint them with tattoos
Lucas Adams
Maybe one of the designers was a mason? I like many of the quotes in 40k. Like pic related.
Aaah thank God! Thanks as bunch user, it was driving me crazy.
Dylan Sanchez
FW for guns, magnets so I can swap them on my havocs. Actual models are from CSM kit plus some other bits. My obliterators were made of centurions and bits
Josiah Torres
Does your tourney permit four detachments? Most follow the book recommendation of three.
Gavin Bennett
Weird, I checked it earlier and I swear it wasn't in it. Thank you.
Jason Jones
>come down from very long acid trip with a friend >We spend the last couple of hours painting our dudes listening to music waiting for the exhaustion to set in
Very cozy too cozy.
Jace Bailey
Yeah I only found it because I vaguely remembered it as well.
Ethan Gutierrez
ALRIGHT FELLOW IMPERIALS, YOU WAKE UP ONLY ARMED WITH YOUR TRUSTY LASGUN AND YOUR ADEPTUS MUNITORUM STANDARD ISSUE GEAR AND SEE PIC RELATED. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Aaron Cooper
Slaneesh cultist pls go
Brandon Jackson
It doesn't follow ITC or anything, apparently we're playing with GW rules and missions straight out of the book. It'd be worth asking about the detachments, I guess.
Owen Collins
For havocs, MK IV or III kits with heavy weapons scrounged from wherever I can get them.
For obliterators, converted centurions.
Eli Rogers
I think they may have been if they're writing things like the OP. It was certainly a much bigger thing back when a lot of this game was written than it is now. My dad's lodge is actually called the lodge of perseverance too ha
Jason Moore
How can my dick be of service?
Henry Cook
SHOOT THEM BOTH FOR DISTURBING MY ASSIGNED REST PERIOD OF 2 HOURS
Adam Cooper
WRONG ANSWER! *BLAM*
Brandon Anderson
Well the book recommends a 3 detachment limit at 2K.
Kayden Hughes
I'm trying to get back into 40k, but I can't decide what army to build. It's especially hard now that there are all these alternate FOCs that I can use now.
Main contenders are: >Black Templar Melee Horde >Ditto, for Flesh Teasers >Daemon Engine Jamboree >Maugan Ra's Dark Reaper and Death Jester Edgestravaganza
Are any of these ideas even remotely viable?
Evan Lee
Decent m8. Sounds like it's well equipped for the most part.
Have you considered cyclic ion blasters on 1 or 2 of the commanders? More shots to take down more holy robots, but still strong, and you can overcharge for when you need s8 back. You might think it's diluting the simplicity of your list though idk
I wonder if Tau players actually know that the community actively wants them to be bad because they break the verisimilitude of the setting.
We never really had a problem when Eldar or Necrons were broken (unless they were always playing against them), but Tau being good is seen as an affront to the very nature of our identity.
I can probably confidently say if you like Tau as much as you do, you should probably be playing a different game.
Ryder Gomez
I know nothing about the masons. I guess they borrowed from them as well. The horus heresy has warrior lodges for all the traitor legions.
Brayden Cook
Good lord that looks good.
Caleb Gutierrez
Why is every edition of Warhammer 40k ruined by some Eldar unit?
Thomas Nguyen
it is tradition
Caleb Richardson
The fact that you can't trust Eldar isn't just a lore tidbit.
Camden Butler
>if you like Tau as much as you do, you should probably be playing a different game.
This^^
Henry Torres
Knowing nuGW, they will get fucked soon.
Cameron Stewart
Perhaps you lack the strength to prosper.
Chase Reed
Expensive as fuck though as you need 1 helbrute kit for every obliterator
Jace Wood
>here you go new player, just do this simple conversion :^)
Dylan Murphy
I've been thinking about kitting out a couple of the Commanders with missile pods and letting them spam shots from within the fire warrior blob. CIBs seem to be almost strictly worse in terms of AP and damage output than fusion blasters for points, with the same range. If I'm going to be spamming S7 AP-1 I'd rather have the range of the missile pods.
Adrian Ross
Sauce?
Christopher Adams
Like Orks, Necrons and Eldar don't.
Robert Martinez
Why are Dark Reapers OP?
Tyler Brooks
...
Isaiah Thomas
Well for a start they always hit on a 3+ and ignore hit penalties.
Logan Stewart
>tfw lascannons used to be called blazoogles just read through rouge trader with some buds and we were laughing so hard at some of the crazy shit in this game
honest question, is it worth playing? it seems so out there in comparison to later editions do people still play it? i couldnt imagine there would be a community behind this book
Eli Taylor
>blazoogles That sounds like something slaanesh would've come up with to use instead of Snu-snu
Chase Johnson
>implying I don't run 30+ of them in every list
Jace Ramirez
They didn't break it when they first released. The empire theme and their narrative were a cool addition to the game. The suits that have come in since have expanded on that theme, but slightly to the detriment of the empire motif, which is a shame and yes does detract from their contribution to the setting if you ask me.
I think that's why a lot of the Tau players in here talk about fielding kroot, fire warriors, vespid, auxiliaries etc.
Also: >Stop liking what I don't like: the post - verbose edition >This isn't what I want the setting to be like so you shouldn't be allowed to play like that because I say so
Daniel Ortiz
kek. I've never played it, but I have only heard of grognards sticking with 2nd edition but that was many years ago. Don't you need a gm for RT? I am going through the book now looking at quotes.
I also discovered all these markings use to mean something. This pleases me. Hazard stripe on helmet = field police!

ASKING FOR THE SOURCE OF THIS HERESY? WHY?
GOOD THING I ALWAYS CARRY A POWERSWORD. FORGET YOUR DAMNED ARMOUR SAVE!
BEGONE, FOUL BUGGER!
THIS WOULD BE A CORRECT ANSWER IF THE ONE ON THE RIGHT WERE NOT THE EMPEROR OF MANKIND WHO IS IN PERIL!
AN ELDAR, EH? YOUR KIND IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR SOEM FIRE PRACTICE!
Carter Cook
That makes sense actually. I might check out the profiles in the index and rethink my own options now haha
>Tfw bought a set of expensive 3D printed CIBs and waited a month for them to arrive
Josiah King
Personally I much prefer fielding masses of Fire Warriors supported by Hammerheads and Broadsides to suit spam, but sometimes you've got to roll with the punches and field shit you don't want to so you can stand a chance of winning a game.
Mason Baker

Wyatt Campbell
His tg, I'm playing DE and harlies and going up against 1000 points of blood angels. What do you think of this basic list.
Battalion HQ Shadowseer Troupe master (kiss and Fusion Pistol)
Troops Troupe 5 (all Caress and Fusion) Kabalite warriors 2x5 (with one Blaster each)
Heavy support Ravager (disintegrator canon 3)
Fast attack Skyweavers 4 (3 zephyrglaives)
Vanguard HQ Archon (parasite kiss and agonizer) Sslyth 3
I'm wondering how to counter deep strike since he can charge me easily out of deep strike with the psi power giving him free move.

Sebastian Harris
Veeky Forums is a meme inducing shithole. And people love meme.
Jacob Stewart
>6 power for 5 >5 super devistators with weird missile launchers cost almost the same as a squad of 5 marines Why does anyone even play power? This surely must be the WORST example of a power imbalance when using power points.
Noah Hughes
They are still cheap as shit with points anyway.
Nicholas Morris
>just read through rouge trader with some buds and we were laughing so hard at some of the crazy shit in this game probably orkish back then everyone had the same weapons, yes even nids. Nowadays they still have roughly similar statlines anyway. >honest question, is it worth playing? it seems so out there in comparison to later editions Try it out? i only played 2nd, which i detest due to it being extremly tiresome (vehicle rules and melee especially). 2nd did have some fun elements though, like a vehicle loosing a wheel and slamming somewhere

Ethan Bennett
If your not a loyalist space marine you are an NPC. By next edition nurgle will be forgotten like slaanesh and khorne is right now. you exist for loyalists to kill. This is your moment in the sun. Enjoy it.
Noah Miller
Thanks, user!
Caleb Sullivan
I wanted to use agressors + the hot glue trick, when it comes to making sores and muscles out of green stuff It's not a problem to me.
Blake Howard
>"Tau being good" >He hasn't read any Tau fluff past 4th edition >He doesn't even realise some people choose to play Orwellian Tau >He doesn't realise they play Orwellian Tau because the Tau maintain a facade of being "good" and he's failed to see past it >Who's the naive one now, gue'la
You just keep on believing Tau is an empire of peace, and don't you let anybody tell you different buddy
Mason Wright
We need to separate the hot glue trick from the... "Hot glue" metaphor. It makes things very confusing to work out sometimes.
Gavin Cooper
The anniversary WD outright says that the themes of the T'au Empire is progress, tolerance, unity, and enlightenment. These things are not evil.
Ethan Robinson
>hot glue trick
please, explain.
Adam Hernandez
Fuck the sterilization camps, the best example of the Tau Empire being a dystopia is the entire saga of the Puretide Engram Neurochips.
Jose Diaz
There's something else too, you know.
