Tau SUCK!!

[koran]

I was well happy when the new DOW had tau in. But now Ive played it Im really pissed.

Like the tittle says they suck.

Yeah they are pretty good at shooting but not enough. Broadsides are absolutely lame and so are stealth suits (thy do almost no damage).

The leader aint much better.

Also with more armies having jump troops that can get into combat almost without the tau getting a shot off it makes them get owned. Oh and that you cant get some upgrades for the troops without not being able to take hammerheads and other things.

Am I using them wrong? If Im being a fool please let me know.

Tau suck anyways. Tau are weakling. Bad gene stock for stealers too. Conclusion: Tau suck.

[koran]

Well in 40k they rule. They dont reflect the actual game at all.

[tallarus]

Tau are the space hippies of the 40k universe

[koran]

True. But they are scary ones at that. Them and eldar seem to be the only forces that aint half as scary to come up against as they are in 40k.

The only reason I don't care for the tau is because my few friends who play them don't use them properly and so rarely win a game with them. I guess if I saw a good player in action it would give me a new respect for them.

tau should be the gods of shooting and (please do not swear) at CC.

if they try'd to balance that, then their stupid and totally wrecked the flavor of the army.

Tau suck in combat. Suck bad. The only thing they have thats worth collecting them for is railguns (or as I call them cheese guns). Everone under 13 collects tau and spacemarines, nut with marines that is only 40%, but with yau thats like 90%. Seems pointless to make that manta when most tau collecters struggle to buy a battlesuit.

[koran]

lol. I dont know that tau collector are that young.

I agree that the younger ones to use them totally wrong and tend to never win a game. But then again most kids couldnt win a game to save their souls its just the choose to do it with marines and tau. Dont mean they cant be scary as hell. Its just they aint represented this in the game at all.

[n00b1n8R]

i think that tau are a cool army. it was a toss up between nids and tau when i started 40K actually.

my friend is starting a tau army (farsight's enclave) and i'm curious to see how it works out.

from reading his 'dex, i dout i'd like to be starting down the barrels of a tau shooty army of death >_<

S5 30" basic weapons? PWNT!!

I would have thought you would collect Tau. Your a kid and your names n00b1n8r. You also say 'PWNT!!'.

[n00b1n8R]

umm... why don't u like me?

1. n00b1n8R is a name i use in video games, i registered at a few gaming sights with that name and it just stuck as my cyber name.
2. if you count 14 as a kid, then yes i am. i imagine there are a few people here who are 10-14 so why don't you yell at them.
3. what is wrong with tau? they are awsome as i imagine several people here would atest to.

i'm trying to be compassionate to u and ur problems.

Lets stop with the slaggin off tau. If you have had a lot of decent victories against them against people who know how to use them fair enough.

But I know they can be savage. In the old codex (when there werent nearly as good as they are now) I lost 2 games in the entire time that codex was about and I only play against vets or staff members.

So I KNOW what tau are about and that I could beat people using 50% more points than me in the old codex and, like I said, in equal points I very rarely lost against marines, nids, necrons, whatever.

[Trygon]

Okay okay. I will stop bashing the cheesy tau.

[bombardier]

Try fighting armies consisting of almost nothing but tau armor, it's not fun. My broodlord had to get two sixes in a row just to get a glancing hit on one of the tanks, then again my skills in 40k were about half as good as they are now (doesn't say much though )
