[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks for watching! Please give the video a like and leave a comment, it really helps🙂👍

[@p2bninjadojo133]

I like those POV reports a lot more then the static camera stuff with fixed box for rolling dices, thanks for the battlereport

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks. Glad you like the format🙂👍

[@TheHoxar]

My two armies! Thank you guys. It is hard to find battle report with Imperial Fists

[@StrikingScorpion82]

No problem. Enjoy👍🙂

[@TheRealKyle]

the broadsides don't have an option for shield generators (invulnerable save) they have 2+ save normally with a 4+FNP for mortals only. grenades only be used if they are eligible to shoot. if you have shot with said you unit, they become no longer eligible to shoot not allowing you to use grenades. and yer you can use grenades first then shoot.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thank you for pointing out👍🙂

[@sleepingpill764]

Grenades is actually if you haven't shot yet, you don't need to be eligible to shoot. (You still need to not be in engagement range)

[@skarnak1]

You asked about the grenade strategm at @ 1:29:04. A unit that has not shot in the shooting phase can throw grenades. So they have to use the grenade strategem before they shoot. But they can shoot afterwards. The strategm doesn't say they can't fire their normal weapons, just that a unit that hasn't fired it's normal weapons can throw grenades. So you use the strategm first, then fire their guns.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks for this👍🙂

[@davehumphries7635]

Looking forward to this. Ive been using Tome Keepers and some of the closest games have been against my friends Tau, each one down to the wire in T5.. wonder what will happen here!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Enjoy👍🙂😎

[@conorreeves-webb9127]

Love the see the Fists come out to play!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Enjoy😎👍

[@MrTrenttness]

🔥🎸🔥 What a good game. The T'au gave it to the Imperial Fist but there was some great late game shooting from the sons of Dorn. Good times, Thanks!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it🙂

[@danielmartinezmartinez441]

I'm pretty sure about that cadre fireblade also increases the attacks of DSB turrets and gun drones on the unit. Also, I don't think it is wise to charge heavy intercessors with fire teams. You need to get yourself some kroot or at least some breachers. Finally I suggest a rule for kingslayer games: warlords have to be in the battlefield all the time. I think it's not fine to hold them safe in reserves

[@gedmcloughlin866]

1:26:20 - you missed out on twin linked for the plasma rifle off the broadside into the inceptors!! :)

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks...yes must remember that👍🙂

[@gedmcloughlin866]

@@StrikingScorpion82 you managed to finish off the squad that turn but had to use shadowsun who could have been aimed elsewhere! Awesome battle report this one chaps. :)

[@chris-comiskey]

Allocating a diehard Xenos player with fickle dice to the bodyguard unit of Valhallan Field Marshal Robert made me grin. What could possibly go wrong? 🤠

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Lol exactly 👍🤣🤣

[@ock9850]

Always nice to see those Imperial Fists. For the Emperor!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Indeed!:)

[@2112pjm]

Don’t worry Mike , Tau have a new codex coming soon , that will teach them 😂

[@StrikingScorpion82]

lol:)

[@Ahriman_362]

All factions fears their actual rules these days 😂

[@danielpedersensevaride5928]

Great game lads, so many comebacks from the fists but not enough in the end. Love to see the Xenos getting a win!

[@TobasscoJelly]

I thought of the Stricking Scorpion when listening to Seige Studio podcast on ranking SpaceMarine factions. Imperial Fists got a bit burnt there 😂😂.

[@8Scientist]

Watching this reminds me of why I deeply dislike playing against Tau.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Many hold to the same view😅

[@jamesmoriarty7796]

It’s ok, we have stuff that can feel bad but at least we don’t force devastating wounds like Eldar can.

[@Colonel-WhiteRaven126]

They are not nearly as bad as they used to be in 6th and 7th

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

This should be a good one !! Gotta pull for those banana boys !!! ❤

[@StrikingScorpion82]

enjoy:)

[@ikarian8318]

A question about Drones: apart from the Gun Drone units, are Tau Drones actual models? Because it seems to me that they are like a counter to remember abilities rather than real models. But in case of ranged fire or incoming charges, do we treat Drone models as real ones?

[@Minnka_]

Drones are purely cosmetic now, they don't count for measurements

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Yes they are just markers now. They don't count as models anymore 👍

[@ryant2112]

50:28 cannot overwatch deep strike anymore. I believe they changed this to not count as movement except for the models themselves “counting as moved”

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Oh really. Will need to check that👍🙂

[@DrTurnerJr]

Always great!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

😎👍🙂

[@fluffcrunchmini4572]

Liked and commented for the algorithm gods

[@StrikingScorpion82]

👍🙂

[@drilltime1237]

Outriders in an anvil siege is wild.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Need a speedy unit in the list🙂👍

[@vornamenachname1218]

I thought stealth only works outside of 12"? The inceptors where in 3" range?

[@stanberry6798]

It blows my mind the GW has the nerve to say hammerfall bunkers deploy like drop pods, but don't give the bunker any deep strike. Such a waste of points Sadly, might just get a whirlwind instead.

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

Great video as always 👍

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thank you👍🙂

[@codybuchanan4217]

Luke you should try out the ghostkeel with your tau, it’s been my mvp in every game I have taken them in 🤙🏻

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Oh really. Yes I have two so could give one a go🙂👍

[@_Jeremy]

Was Kauyon completely forgotten in turn 2?

[@StrikingScorpion82]

I'm pretty sure I remembered it for the commander and his squad. It kicks in for the rest of the army Turn 3 onwards:)

[@_Jeremy]

@@StrikingScorpion82 Ahhh my misunderstanding. Didn't realize it only affected the one squad.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

​@@_Jeremyyes I give the commander and enhancement to enable it to be used turn 2 onwards. Very handy. An auto take for tau👍🙂

[@richardperks7366]

don't forget your strike teams can have 2 drones, so add in some gun drones. Also why marker drones on your crisis, take full shield drones, your strike teams can act as observers, all crisis teams and tanks should be guided units to get the most out of their firepower

[@stuartfields9177]

Hmmm, perhaps D6+6 damage is a tad too much. D6+3 or 2D6 may be more balanced.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

I like it👍🤣

[@kingoglow2186]

Your Tau army performs much better without the Stormsurge. If you want to run the Stormsurge, keep ShadowSun near by.

[@shawnhowland4930]

The Tau definitely earned their victory. Good show.

[@martynsharp5936]

I guess it’s a fluffy IF list but really not competitive. As a die hard IF player this list makes me sad.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Feel free to leave suggestions 🙂

[@martynsharp5936]

Ditch the bunker. Reduce the number of intercessors. Instead put in either a land Raider, aggressors or maybe a squad of terminators.

[@fergietowers]

Mike, just accept the superior Tau technology and join the greater good … #mindcontrolfishy 😉

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Yes exactly. Save yourself some pain lol:)

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Like rolled unusually high for the invulnerable saves… otherwise it would have been a different outcome.

[@michaelwalker7358]

😕😕😂

[@bretticus6722]

I have to admit Tau are my least favorite 40k army that being said there still Awesome!
