Even in a grimdark universe, having some good guys brings in fresh air - though they should get pummeled for their naivity towards xenos, the warp, AI revolts, ancient gods and artifacts, constant betrayal, streams of refugees of other empires, not standing their ground at times proving disadvantageous even when it doesn't make sense, etc! Every time they take the enlightened, efficient and logical way, the grimdark universe should show them it just doesn't work like that. They shall prevail thorugh constant development and progress however, always optimistic despite the horrors and misery that surrounds them.

I got into tau way back in 4th or 5th addition, I was visiting my cousin's in Denmark and they had turned their whole basment into a gamining room with shelf after shelf of fully painted models. I had no clue about the universe but the tau seemed really cool to me because out of all the other armies they felt the most sci-fi futuristic, with big guns, grav tanks and of course battlesuites. Once I got home I bought my first box of fire warriors and built a decent sized army. Sadly I never found anyone to play with. After highschool I saddly sold all my army and stopped playing. Until this year! 10 years later I found a few friends who also are picking up some models and we are gonna play kill team!

Having played Tau in 3rd/4th/5th edition then tanking a long break and coming back in 8th the transition from sometimes memed on, not overly good or popular army to the hated existence we are now took some getting used to. Also, I hate what they have done to our playstyle. We used to have mobility. Between JSJ, Broadsides with A.S.S, and flanking piranhas back when positioning actually mattered the stand and shoot castle style we currently have is lame and boring for both players. I seriously hope they do something to fix it and that they don't break the Y'vahra with the Forgeworld updates because it's one of the only enjoyable lists I have left. Afraid I can't support your recommendation of the Skyray, probably our worst unit, always has been. That said, for any new people, DO buy the Skyray kits. They come with everything you need to make all of the tanks so if you magnetize they are the best value as you basically get the Skyray parts for free.

We’ve got one for that custom chaos army coming very soon!

I love the passion with which you speak about your Tau! I am getting interested in 40k and your gameplay and showcase have cemented my love of the Greater Good

[@popamonkey190]

Please more of these. If love to see Tak's and Steve's armies! This was a really great showcase! Amazingly painted army with amazing terrain to go with it!

[@nasisans]

I love what you did with the Vespid, they look amazing!! Also a big fan of your army and your battles in the channel. I also had that first Tau codex and just fell in love with their ideals, they ARE the good guys. For the Greater Good!!!

Nick's genuine enthusiasm and love for the Tau really sold me on them. So glad to see him break down everything with his collection.

[@griffoncs6431]

This was so cool and fun to watch. You have had almost exactly the same experience i had with Tau. I started in 5th edition and picked Tau because reading tactics articles online showed me that even though Tau weren't the best army they had such tactical depth that they could still win. And then 6th dropped and Bam! Gunline. I also immediately wrote off the Tau Sept paint scheme and picked vior'la, but in my case it was because I liked their description as the "hot headed aggressive" Sept.

Right on!

Such an enjoyable video. Sharing your army and your passion for it was a privilege 👍. More please

[@Sandmann1193]

Just coming near the 2k T'Au points. Absolutely love how you always have so much fun playing them, really inspired me to give them a shot. They look the coolest anyway

[@augustochuko]

I don't even play Tau and I really really liked this video! It's great to see the level of excitement and passion that Nick has while discussing this faction. Would love to see you guys do this for more 40K factions. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@sniperlemming]

Nick, I just want you to know that from this Video specifically, your love of Warhammer 40K, and the T'au Empire has rubbed off on me so much that i just went to my local game shop, and bought the T'au Empire Starpulse Cadre Battleforce. It's my first Warhammer 40K kit and i'm already going on Amazon to order Magnets, and a new set of Clippers for building it all. I've been watching Battlereports for like a year now, and loving the models. I paint D&D miniatures, craft terrain and also run D&D games, but Warhammer 40K & Fantasy have both been interesting for me to look at but i never tried to get into it. Until now. And it's all thanks to you and this video (and your Tau Battle reports). I'm super excited, and i can;t wait until the 9th ed books comes out so i can start learning how to build armies and play the game. Thanks Nick :-D

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Nick here - awesome to hear! I hope you enjoy it. They have some fun miniatures in that kit.

[@sniperlemming]

@@PlayOnTabletop Hey Nick! Can you do an Update video soon on any additions to your any, and maybe talk about the new codex some and how it's chance your approach to playing your army.

[@grayfiresoul]

You explained everything, in minute detail, about why I picked up the Tau in 2001. Awesome looking army!

[@Nebbi86]

Such a great showcase. I just love the energy every time Nick talks about his Tau! And many of the points he mentions seem so familiar. I often try and go for the less popular choices and play or make something unique (be it in video games or what have you). And then when changes are made and suddenly you are just a voice in the crowd, that really feels bad... But this has definitely encouraged me to stay with my choice of Tau, keep building up my collection and play them the way I have the most fun with! :D

[@grimwill7686]

The passion Nick has for his chosen army is awesome. I'm just now getting back into WH40k after over a decade long hiatus from the hobby, and I hope I can become just as passionate about my own collection in the future.
