Grimdark Future: DAO Union

[@garrethbaldwin8513]

PiperMakes' units were the thing that got me into the hobby, good to see them getting some love.

[@grimoirworkshop6623]

Yeah, they make me want to start dao army

[@Coldstar86]

Excellent models for the DAO Union!

[@alexklunder4374]

Those models look great in 28mm. Love the look of them. I think they fit the DAO just as good or maybe better than their GW counterparts. Great video

[@WarbossFitz]

Totally agree

[@ChronicLaughter]

Loved the in depth break down. Right at a time when I was thinking about making a Dao team. I dig your terrain! Fantastic idea with the little plastic bush bits. Thanks for the vid man. Subbed

(Thoughts on the battle below to avoid spoilers) Funnily enough, there have been a small surge of grumbling that the DAO Union are a bad Army in the Discord. I suspect that those people are undervaluing Spotting Laser, as you showed that it works quite well in practice. If not just trying to play them in an Orky or short-ranged manner. As much as I love cheering for bog standard humans being victorious over non-human adversaries, given the above, it doesn't hurt my feelings that the DAO Union won. That was a fun, very shooty, fight! You showed off the strengths of both armies quite well (dice not withstanding).

[@WarbossFitz]

yeah some times the dice just say "NO" I think the DAO are a pretty good army overall, they just need some real thinking when you play them, more than the average army. Make sure you activate your units with spotting lasers first to hand out the death candy. There may be times when activating a different unit first is a priority and that brings efficiency down, but thats part of the game, sometimes it just be like that.

[@MissLeafi]

Small correction, PiperMakes is not a dude :)

[@WarbossFitz]

Wow your right. I was running on bad info then. I remember about a year ago two guys on a podcast discussing alternate Tau models and how they were designed. I could have sworn it was these models and always thought that guy was pipermakes.

[@grimoirworkshop6623]

You probably are referencing once in a six side episode with her. I admit she got a certain manliness, and we all probably know a dude or two who looks more feminine. Anyway she's gal and she's cool both as artist and, I'm sure, as a person.

[@laminin77]

I love watching these vids. Keep em coming Fitz.

[@WarbossFitz]

Glad you like them!

[@Godofantz]

I was just looking through your videos yesterday for this faction, nice

[@rowanash5378]

Dao Union vs. HDF Oh this is gonna hurt. Horde army vs. horde army.

[@Checheno1906]

Had a game like this the other night, only that there were Prime Knight Brothers too. Fun times

[@matthewseidl7639]

Amazed at how good those upscaled 6mm models look!

[@thelazyforger]

Thank you! :3 It's one of the oldest armies I made, so I'm guessing the new ones should work even better!

[@matthewseidl7639]

@@thelazyforger if those are old, what do you think is your best current army bundle?

[@thelazyforger]

@@matthewseidl7639 In terms of details and proportions, definitely the Union. But of course it's all about what style and concept of models you prefer.

[@benelgermosen]

Been waiting on this one.

[@thomasdoane2011]

Love the video, and glad to see spotting lazers in use. Thanks

[@Checheno1906]

Great video dude! I modified my Dao list after watching and ill try next time i play with my friends

[@samthompson2980]

Cool :)

[@FrogWizard224]

Great video I have been interested in playing DAO union

[@GarredHATES]

For the more than normal thing that is not bad

[@grimoirworkshop6623]

Fun fact, it was previously called Tao ir smthing similar to tao wich is a staple of chinese philosophy. I grew up in rusiia and russian is my first language, and in russian it is spelled and pronounced as "dao". So, in my head, now, when they are dao they are more tao than ever before🤓 If that makes any sense.

[@D3vious113]

Excellent video as always but holy flaming dog dookie those models are gorgeous and I don't have enough money for all of them T_T

[@nickdavis5420]

War had changed!

[@theVariedLife]

Thanks for the video. Totally new to OPR. Sub'd and liked; also going to checkout your other videos.

[@zain2028]

The new faction the conglomerate may make better firewarriors. The hoods look similar to the heads.

[@WarbossFitz]

They look like they could be great! This was me more concerned with if I could :)

[@KevinLYT1]

can you do an overview of the community revamp dao union and the difference between that and the original dao union?

[@itmikepensacola1658]

Where did you get the graphics for the Dao?

[@WarbossFitz]

they are from pipermakes

[@itmikepensacola1658]

Thank you!

[@danhowe1]

What models are you using for these?

[@WarbossFitz]

they are the tech army from the lazy forger. They started at 6mm and I scaled them up. There is a link in the description for the files.

[@spencerwaters9645]

The misgendering is painful. Is there no way to make that correction or rerelease the video?

[@spencerwaters9645]

I do love these videos though.
