How TAU is Slowly Fixing Warhammer 

Dude, if my paddle went the other way, I'd totally bid on you. ;) Found your channel from Squidmar Mini's. They think highly of you.

Look Bro. What the games need is an app. You punch in your Army stats and let the app sort out all the stupid bits. IDK How but some muthalicka does. Boner Boys ? Really? Really? 🥒

@@ErgonomicChair 9th was actually the final edition of 40k. The rest is Imperial propaganda.

@@blackwind743 I miss armour facings.

How am I supposed to eat soup without an envelope?

You must be a glutton for punishment. Well we all know what your daddy used to say "you can wish in one hand and shit in the other see which one fills up faster." Smart man.

​@@stevenwalsh6179I'd spoon the soup into the envelope and use the lil pointy flappy part as the guide to let flow into your gapeing maw.

REEEEEEEEEE

​@@stevenwalsh6179And why would you put croutons in hydrogen peroxide?

Imagine Steve vs Jay. It is bound to be amazing; Jay with a fluffy list, Steve with a competitive list rolling only 1s.

yes please!! we know he never wins based on his stories, and that's exactly that kind of player we need on batreps cuz he still keeps the enthusiasm no matter what

I’d love to see jay play. I’d be happy with any result but I want to see how he tends to….not win.

We already had days lights savings. Unless you in he other side of the world

He does that a lot dw he’s trying

@@maxspooky8991 yeah I know, and he may have recorded it before it even dropped. It was just a funny observation.

Forth edition will obviously be about the Idoneth Deepkin (there was a puddle in the teaser)

Man-thing not pay attention, yes-yes! Easier to ambush-attack!

It's clever! You have to buy 2 boxes. $$$

It's significantly less broken, 2 boxes makes two units. Not perfect but preferable to the way it was where you needed piles of Cyclic ions that you get zero of.

@@eps2003d printed weapons were the answer before and largely still are now. Hell, if people glued their weapons they probably binned their old ones... and will buy even more 3d printed ones now to fix their old units

Could you not just build them the way you want and pretend they have six? Don't understand the hand wringing, don't give GW more money than necessary.

Magnets and 3d printed bits ! Why are we talking about this at this point? Is there a limited edition model you just can't get your hands on because GW sucks the D of the whales, scalpers, FOMO ? Well the answer to solve all your issues are 1:1 3d files. They are out there and will be infinitely more available than waiting on GW to restock or finding a scalper with a heart who's only trying make 100% profit instead of the usual 300% . Let's not forget the recasters I can point you to some extremely reliable recasters. If GW won't fix the problem. We can fix it ourselves. They are telling you they don't want your money because they aren't making product available for you. So give it to those who do and provide that which you need, want and desire.

Mmmm space Skaven......

Anything from 3. Reach and onwards probably wouldn't scale right. I'd buy an EVA and Mk IV spartan in a heartbeat if I could.

​@@caboose759There are games after Reach?

Original Quake monsters would look AWESOME as minis.

How would you not recognize them as SPARTAN? It so easy to spot you can even tell when AI generations pull from Halo.

​@@SpottedHares right?

Enjoy your twenty new Kroots

@@Neolazaro91I certainly will!

lmao @@Neolazaro91

As far as I'm aware it's going to be a game that represents the multiplayer aspect. So I'm worried it's going to be all Spartans. Can't confirm if it's true but I recall Tactical Tortoise speculating about it.

​@caboose759 iirc they also revealed some elite models recently

as much as 343 wants you to forget it playable elites are a large part of halo's multiplayer@@flimby872

If they did the thing where custom loadouts were a thing, people would complain they can't be balanced. Because they can't. Who cares if it's legends anyway, use it anyway

You know, now that I think about it, the Tau Empire is basically like the Covenant but without the religious fanaticism

​​@@ChaseDaOrk3767 I think arobe was referencing the soon to release halo wargame, but you might already have heard of that so this comment could be pointless Wait nevermind, jay just talked about the halo wargame, I'm such an idiot

@@warhound8496 I already know about Halo Flashpoint, I'm wondering I they'll be bringing in the Flood into the game

@@ChaseDaOrk3767 other then the greater good stuff they pretty much the 40k. Version

The only one that changes is insurgents, which could absolutely be in newer halos, no?

Promethians and endless: Banished are also NOT an old faction

Your comparison is a little off, this is more like what they did to van-vets, but you can still use all the weapon options that come in the box.

@@KameSennin4209 nah the comparison is accurate. All personal choice and modular selection is gone now from the unit.

@@Retrosicotte I thought that you could use the unique loadouts so long as you take them in separate units. I was referring to the fact that the van-vet box comes with power-weapons, thunder-hammers, lightning claws, and a power fist: All of which have been reduced to glorified chainswords in the datasheet as 'heirloom weapons'. It's the same type of energy, but even worse.

@@KameSennin4209 Yeah it's really not great. 10th ed is the death of fun.

If the equipment was properly internally balanced it wouldn't be a bad choice. I prefer the free equipment so much more, it makes list building super comfortable.

10th ed's way of wargear and sizes is basically the death of fun.

I feel like the "default" wargear choice should be free, with stronger choices costing extra points.

​@@HighEffortUsernamewhy not slots ? Basic troop has two slots and elites have 3 characters maybe 4 or 5. make war gear have points based on how powerful they are ... would really bring back individualization and help in creating more accurate (fluffy) army lists.

@@JohnathanJWells There is no possible way to internally balance some of the wargear choices within a single datasheet. It's just not possible, in any universe, without you giving stupid stats to weapons that don't make sense for them. Example. Devestator Marines can have a bolter... or a lascannon. Drukhari Scourges can have a shardcarbine... or a dark lance.

But they still allow fusion blaster spam and don't even ship enough guns in the box to build them

That's for new players. They might want a Hellhammer when seeing it in the index, not know it uses the Baneblade kit, and just type "Hellhammer" in the search bar, for example. It's actually fairly user-friendly.

What you thinking something along the lines of blood ball as guide in terms of how to play ?

Let me tell you. That is the best way to do 40k. Some people think it's supposed to be a balanced tabletop game... Don't fall into that trap

I remember those. My favorite was the elite honor guard.

Yeah, that’s why I play knights. Purely perfect and flawless pieces of master crafted model loveliness that I believe all other armies should attempt to imitate. They will fail of course, as nothing is as perfect as the awe-inspiring titanic walkers of the imperial and chaos knights, but even imperfect imitation would be a step in the right direction. Excuse me, as I now must return to my endless holy task of building and painting my 15,000 points of chaos knights. Good day to you and I hope you consider knights of any sort (although chaos is the truest expression of imposing majesty) for your next army, or continue to pursue on the path of gathering all the wondrous walkers of your dreams.

Jesus Christ why did I just write that slop I like knights like just a normal amount I swear, I also only have like 4 war dogs and a Chaos Acheron, I just felt the urge to write some weird garbage on the internet to prove I have free will

The reason people are annoyed is that Crisis suits by definition are a flexible, modular unit that you could equip any weapon you wanted onto, in mixed loadouts of your own design. They were the ultimate in customisable war machines. And the new codex basically bins it entirely for no reason and makes them into bland units of only one weapon type. It's a HUGELY iconic thing about the army removed. Imagine Marines without Boltguns or Power Armour any more and you get the idea.

hear hear. That's exactly what I've been saying. As someone who's been playing Tau from literally the 1st day they were released way back in the year 2001, I'm glad to see GW finally giving new Tau players some direction on how to build the suits, which loadout combos work best, etc. I've been teaching new Tau players for 20 years now, and I was honestly getting tired seeing new players making the same mistakes with their suit's loadouts again and again, with me having to explain the same thing again and again while accidentally tabling them. I really don't like it when that happens. To anyone still saying that the old 'build-a-bear' unit was better because it gave you infinite options... all I can say is, infinite options usually lead to infinite mistakes. Veteran Tau players like myself have basically been playtesting for GW for 20+ years now. We've already done the hard work of figuring out which loadouts are the best/ which ones are even viable to begin with! The names that GW are using like Fireknife and Sunforge? We came up with them! We the old guard of the Tau community. We figured out that missile pods and plasmas work well together, double missile pods are better and double fusions are meta. Those combos have stood the test of time since 3rd edition, so well we gave 'em cool names. Names and loadouts that GW have finally recognised. 😊

Your comment reads like an ongoing stroke.

You would need to roll for supercombine
