They were pretty fucking OP in Dark Crusade, at least at one stage. Barracuda in Soulstorm are one of the best flying units in the expansion.
Tau Commander in DOW2's Last Stand was top tier, but the Necron Overlord is hilariously broken and overshadows him.

>>334996403
Culexus are blanks aka psyker killers the Tau are almost all blanks themselves. This culexus wasn't even able to use his strengths here but still killed one of the Tau's top leaders and his honor guard single handedly
I think that the Emperor would befriend the Tau Empire, like he did before with the Eldars if he wasn't comatose on his throne.

No.
Now go befriend some dicks.
REMOVE TAU!
>>334997010
If there's one thing i miss from tabletop 40k, it's 500 point tau games absolutely shitting on everyone including GKs.
>>334996925
Blanks have the same effects on everyone, on psykers it's just strong enough to potentially drive them insane.
Culexus' primary job is psyker killing but they're still top tier assassins.
It's also incredibly hard to hit them even for non-psykers or weak souls like Tau because of etherium(?) confusing enemies and the fact they are soulless.

I'm holding my tongue on if it will be good until they make it to open world. I signed up when it was first teased because I thought I would see a Planetside 2 replacement a few years down the line.

My problem is that it plays like a jankier space marine

>>334997010
It's funny how much better Tau got with 6th edition. The rape wasn't even funny anymore
>no imperial guard game

Where's that one "ideal game" image
>>334997982
Because 40k kiddies only want to talk about their dead emperor
>>334998174
My only hope is they're reasonably fast but not too squishy. I imagine it wouldn't be fun if it took a couple shots to go down.
What did they describe the Eldar to be like again? I need to go check it again, I faintly remember that they'll have access to places where Space Marines are too bulky to get through, so they can sneak up on cliffs for ambushes and come through alleys you wouldn't normally expect enemies to pour through.
>>334997575
Well really Kroot should just be packaged with Tau as they are in the tabletop.
>>334998385
It is pretty funny. They lost their fish of fury but gained Riptides. Now 7th Edition is an arms race of super-heavies.

In fairness Fish of Fury was never intentional, it was a blatant exploit that even fellow Tau players like myself acknowledged as complete bullshit.
But now we have shit like velo trackers on fucking everything, markerlights on everything, and missiles and defense systems out the ass.
>>334998748
Spoken like someone who doesn't actually play the tabletop and base it all on the fluff.
Because if you actually played the crunch, you know the true enemy
>>334988717
Is this fucking bait? DC they were strong. It's hard to say exactly where they stood since my memory of DC is fuzzy and mostly filled the 'Cron rape. But in SS they're fucking S-tier. Only Elfdar reasonably fit into the same tier as them. Fire Warriors outclass fucking every other basic infantry unit, stealthsuits are one of the few scout units that actually scale well into t2, broadsides are just fucking insane, vespids give you an insanely aggressive t1 option to just win the game in the first 10 minutes. I'm a Tau main and I'm not fucking delusional enough to pretend like they're not god like.
In DoW 2 they just have Last Stand representation which doesn't mean a whole fucking lot but dual-linked plasma rifle on the map where you don't have to deal with you clones on wave 16 is insane. Necrons once again overshadow him but fuck right off in calling him weak.

Speaking of the tabletop, will there ever be a time when IG miniatures don't look like complete ass?
The tanks look nice, but every goddamn soldier looks like a C-tier Judge Dredd artist's work when he had a hand cramp
>>334999309
It's kind of stupid not to run a super heavy these days, but gunline Tau has always been good. Nothing but Fire Warriors and Devilfish, with a Riptide and maybe one of the new rocket spam mech
>>334999664
>but gunline Tau has always been good.
It's hard for them to not be good. They basically run on the old saying of "I'm dead if you get in melee range. Not that you ever will."

>>334999861
Kroot are....wierd in their stat placement. And they're kinda fragile for a race whose whole point is supposed to be fighting in melee.
They've fallen prey to GW's fatal flaw of wanting to support yet another marine chapter or literally any faction that could actually use a boost.
>>334999569
"B-but my Lord! They can't even fight in melee!"
"I'm sorry. But what did you just say?"

Fuck you pal, I've been using them in the tabletop since they came out in '01.
>>334998962

I can't think of a single vehicle in all of 40k that dies to 1 glancing hit.
Why don't the Tau just build a Getter Emperor to crush everyone?

>not knowing each sept has a different color

>>335000397
I always saw it as yellow and not tan.
But yeah, white/black/red is the new color scheme according to GW.
>>335000095
That's what they look like on the surface
But in the end the Tau are a segmented slave race of the Ethereals. Their "greater good" is just for making a better life for the Ethereals and nothing else.
They're hindered by their inability to tap into the warp and would be completely useless without their technology. They're already heavily limited by their ridiculously slow space travel and lack of communication outside of messenger ships.
The Tau are also far from "good", they castrate all willing immigrants and practically use them as slaves with no real societal value.
They also kill anyone who they can't brainwash because they're seen as an obstacle to the greater good.
>>335000549
Hey man, nobody's perfect. Also a lot of that shit was a retcon because for the longest time they came across as too much of the "good guy" faction
>>334996972
No he wouldn't the tau are exactly the type of xenos Corpseman hated the most because they would try and sway humanity from his anti chaos vision through subversion.
Also Emps was ok with the eldar because they had the webway which he wanted and pretty much everything they do is to fuck over chaos.

>LITERALLY the only army with a good heart
They want everyone to join their shitty cult while at the same time not understanding how chaos works or how it would fuck them over if they actually suceeded
>no relations with warp shit
1. Psykers are cool
2. You have to use warpshit to fight warpshit and chaos are the big bad of 40k

Source. Emphasis on the "all."

>>335000727
Oh I have to admit I was wrong there. This seems to have changed from years ago, but I'm certain it was a thing.
>>334997575
>no Imperial Knights
is the tabletop army still based on infantry and tanks with the robot suits only useful for plasma guns? I always thought tau would be cooler if they went full gundam anime instead of being imperial guard with better laser guns.
>>335001449
>I always thought tau would be cooler if they went full gundam anime
Well, congratulations, you got your wish. Tau are now a top tier army because their Riptide gundam suits are stupidly undercosted for what you get, their suits get their twin-linked plasma for cheaper, and your drones have marker lights to make sure none of the above ever miss an attack.
Also, most players will hate playing against you, because it just isn't fun.

>taucucks
>>334988717
To be fair both DoWs were made when they were fucking shit in tabletop as well.
The whole "charge one squad and the entire army overwatch fires" didn't happen until 6th edition.
>>335005498
KROOT AND TAU STAND AS ONE
>>335005862
To be fair, Tau have literally never been shit in DoW
OP is either a total shitter or baiting super fucking hard. Tau are tied for the strongest faction in SS, easily. Only Elfdar can really compete in raw bullshit and that's mostly because of fleet of foot and the fact that they're the only faction with a tier 4
>>335002121
And the problem is, half of them are shit overcosted bundles.
The Tau one is great though. It's basically "Buy a new Crisis suit squad, get a new Firecaste Warrior squad and Ethereal for five bucks."
Tyranid, Space Marine, and Skiitari ones are also good.
Would you help keep a daemon in this realm with your spiritual "energy"

They use never ending propaganda, forced mass human sterilization and psychological control technology.
