*10TH EDITION!!* T'au Empire vs Orks | Warhammer 40k Battle Report 

Made my day!

Yup we both missed that. Fortunately it didn't make too much a difference 🙂 - Chef

It even applies to when it degrades. He still shoots base 4+ due to the WSS.

@@Jfund12 I didn't even think of that. Awesome stuff!

They’re the best hahah! - Bard

I feel like there was a brief talk on whether to do another take. Very brief.

@@tabletoptactics it makes me so happy, it's something silly xD

14:08 lol

That made me lol 😂

I believe that will be faq before long as a typo. The shas'ui, does not earn the markerlight keyword unless you choose to take a markerlight drone. Something most everyone does I'd guess, but can be overlooked. But if you look at their gear neither the Strike or Breacher teams actually start with a markerlight.

​@@maijin007Shas'ui have always had the option of buying a marker light in all previous editions, that's where the marker light keyword comes from. While there are some likely typos across the hundread of datasheets GW had to update at once, I don't think this is one of them.

@@maijin007 The Marker Drone gives units without the keyword the Markerlight AND allows you to act as an Observer even if you Advance. So while the Markerlight keyword might be redundant on various Firewarrior units with the Marker Drone, the ability to both Advance and act as Observer is a unique benefit.

@@fendelphi finally a good point, thanks Fendelphi. I'd totally overlooked the marker drones entry that said "even if it advanced this turn" sentence.

yeah i think so too. anyone any idea what colors were used?

Doh, we both missed that. A holdover from the Shas'ui having it as a paid upgrade before I guess. Makes them even better as Spotters then!

I winced a lot at this list in general. Riptide, strike team, puretide chip, and then saying tau has lots of anti tank when that's absolutely not the case.

@@mollywasagoodgirl yup

Ahh well, mistakes happen in these early days of learning all the army rules again, especially since we play and film with so many different ones 🙂

The suit didn't though 😆

Brutal but Kunnin' paint job

Nah. Ork Chef is always there; he's just usually painted purple.

I've seen one, not surprisingly it was Richard Ziegler. Ghost keeps sitting on objectives forcing the enemy to come into range, which allows the cyclic ion blaster crisis suits to obliterate the closing enemy units. He was also using Tetras which are brutal observers.

I havent won a single game either playing as Tau in 6 games now 😢

Yeah, I didn't have high hopes. The Tau durability has tanked too severely. I don't think GW understood how important having drones that could absorb shots was to the Tau's ability to simply stay alive. Then to top it off, Battlesuits got downgraded to vehicles, in the universal special rules wipe, which gives them a weakness to a whole swathe of new anti vehicle crap. And probably worst of all, despite doing all this, despite Battlesuits being vehicles now, the suits that really matter, didn't get the durability buff that just about every vehicle in the game got. To be honest, it seems obvious what GW was doing, and as such that they're not gonna fix it soon. They shifted the Tau meta onto the few models that did get the increase to toughness, the ghost keel, the the riptide(though less so), and now the Tau'nar, with toughness increase and massive points drop, they're trying to sell stock that wouldn't sell before because of the meta before, and the consequences are taken out on the rest of the army, and therefore the players who had everything except ghostkeel riptides and Tau'nars(this also extends to tetras and piranhas btw, they also got the toughness increase)

I've only seen one Tau win, 3 Ghostkeels, 3 Tetra units, CIB equipped crisis suits, Shadowsun and I think Firesight marksmen for more lone operatives.

​@@rathstargod I hate meta lists. So stupid.

@@Burdenist It was an example to show the lengths someone had to go to have a chance to win to show what a poor spot Tau are in at the moment.

@@rathstar yeah, not a stab at you, was just saying. Totally agree and my own tau army will probably stay in its box for a good while 😅

Correct, I thought we played it that way though. Doesn't really matter too much, we're all doing the learns!

They really took a heavy hit :,)

But not when there's a -1 to Hit applied to the unit 🙂

The Strategem 'Rapid Ingress' allows you to deepstrike a unit at the end of your opponent's reinforcement step. So Bard deep struck the crisis suits in Chef's turn.

All weapons and other wargear is free. Only Hero Enhancements are paid (and they're usually 10-30 points).

@@Mithlinthar Thank you, this edition is wild

Yeah we both forgot about that. Didn't make a huge difference though 🙂 - Chef
