Good, concise report. You talked tactics it kept it moving without quoting a dozing lines from 30 year old movies. Well done!

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!

L00l the call-out 😂

The Tau army is like the US military circa 3000 AD with that color scheme. Love it.

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

My favorite quote from the night "The Rogel dorn... whichever way he moves, he is gonna kill things...."

[@SliderGames]

It's a difficult position to be in.

[@almarcaUrban]

As a guard player I can not help but feel bad about those wound rolls into the thunderbolt - we are no stranger to dice curses.

[@rmgaminguk7079]

Great battle report. Loved the battlefield. Never seen you roll so many 1s and 2s to wound. Think you need to embrace the range and upgrade those fusion blasters to something else. Plasma if you want to play safe or hazardous CIBs for raw damage (I prefer a mix of the two). The extra range, double on the plasma, over the fusion really helps. Don't worry about the missed upload, family, particularly a young one, comes first. It's just always a please to see your vids come up in my feed.

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! The fusion range dropping has been a big hit. I think I am going to lean more into plasma going forward.

[@markmras6040]

Love your battle reports and your terrain

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!

[@georgem1219]

Only recently discovered your channel!love the battle reports against cadian sargent steel, you both make it a great watch!

[@SliderGames]

Thanks! He is an excellent opponent.

[@gergokiss66]

Your Battle report are so far my favorite on youtube, like the raw style, also that you are explaining in great detail in what you're doing. It helps a beginner like me understand the game easier. Also those T'au look amazing, you made me decide they're gonna be my first ever army! Great job and keep up the good work! Cheers from Hungary

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! I am glad you like the content, and welcome to the Greater Good!

[@Dre0oq]

Stunning paint jobs all around!

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! His Cadians are amazing!

[@snoweefrost4412]

That's a fantastic paint job on the Tau!

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!

[@dl-3183]

Great report. GOD BLESS TAU-MURICA

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! Land of the free!*

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

I need my weekly fix! (Also i completely understand you have a house hold and a family, im just teasing)😂

[@JohnsRimworld]

In the future I'd love to see you and Sarge Steel doing some audio fiction on some of the lore of the Cadians vs Sunars war. These two epic armies have been fighting it out on youtube for a while now. Would love to get into some lore on this!

[@SliderGames]

That is a very cool idea...

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

I would second that, and my Warhammer buddies would listen to that while we play in my garage

[@princeofmoskova]

I enjoy your battle reports. I would like to see a point tracker of some type that would show me where you both stand in points, turn, CP's etc in each round. Something simple on the table, even a legible notecard would do.

[@SliderGames]

Good idea. Let me see what I can put together.

[@samsolopeeps]

Great looking board

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!

[@freinheit6923]

I always love your tau gameplays!!

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!

[@TheKarofaar]

Nice battle with the greater good old taus. I really love the minis you both place there, specially those ultranerfed cannons :) Now the comment: Infantry is a great punching bag in this edition after the logical devast wound nerf, BUT a good gostkill spam and some Flammencrisis and you really burn at least a 110% of a guard list. I can assure you, i suffered all this tau napalm.

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! I need to get my Ghostkeel built!

[@lumskkat]

CADIA STANDS!

[@freinheit6923]

I also love astra militarum!!! two of my favourite faction!!

[@didsdesigns]

Good job 😊

[@SliderGames]

Thanks!

[@TexasRogueTrader]

Can you try to do a 1500 point list of space marines first born only?

[@SliderGames]

That is a possibility...

[@TexasRogueTrader]

@@SliderGames I would love to see what you could do with them in 10th

[@TwitchyMofo]

I think that the first attack with the broadside the walker shouldn't have had cover because the guiding unit has the markerlight keyword.

[@SliderGames]

Yeah, I probably missed that.

[@TwitchyMofo]

​@@SliderGameshow did you reroll 1s to wound with your crisis team? I thought that was a crisis commander which is reroll 1s to hit. Did I miss a stealth suit guide?

[@SliderGames]

I just did it wrong. I was thinking it gave reroll ones to wound rather than hits.

[@TwitchyMofo]

@@SliderGames ah ok gotcha. Thanks.

[@SliderGames]

Thanks for making me aware!

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

Welcome back! Haha yesss

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

I know you have time constraints, would you ever consider showing more of the small arms turns? I love the infantry engagements, but it's your show, i love it either way 🎉

[@SliderGames]

This can be arranged from time to time.

[@Peanutz75]

Great content. As a wannabee T’au player my takeways are : broadside heavy rail rife is good, other loadout is meh; crisis loadout from the tyranid game felt way better; riptide doesn’t seem very lethal; infantry is shooting nerf guns; flyer coming in on turn 2 can still impact the game, so maybe eliminating flyers from the lists is stupid;

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! The high-yield missile pods are not great on the broadsides anymore. Two less shots and worse AP make for an underwhelming weapon. I am also playing my Fire Warriors like it is 9th. In 9th one or two squads could easily take out a light vehicle. Not the case any more. I don't think it's a bad thing, but I need to adapt my use of infantry to better align with their roll in 10th.

[@zipff3co536]

were did you get that awesome tarrain?

[@SliderGames]

A company called Tyme Again makes it.

[@urosbrkic3370]

Your terrain looks awesome, could you share a link where you got it :D

[@SliderGames]

Well, the company that made it when I bought it is no longer producing it, but I believe a company called Tyme Again is now making it.

[@NinjaDuck1e]

Love your content! Can I i ask what terrain youre using?

[@SliderGames]

Thank you! the buildings and ruins are available from a company called Tyme Again.

[@rodrigueoneil3328]

for thunderbolt, can we play it in official games? everyone accepts this unit?

[@SliderGames]

Yep. It has rules as a Forge World model.

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

Any word on your next game, boss?

[@SliderGames]

There will be one this month! I will give some more updates with the schedule in that video.

[@NealWacker-tm7lz]

Just a taste... I need some. Sgt steel is awesome but I need some good ol battles! 😊

[@ericsmith9212]

Tau need a new detachment! The current one is just not good . Plus,some bad rolls by the Tau at key moments.

[@SliderGames]

It did not seem to come together for me in this one.

[@lukebeaton1241]

So annoyed you can't attach castellans (or any other character) to the command squad? Cause that would make too much sense... Screw you GW

[@lumskkat]

Attach both to an infantry squad.

[@lukebeaton1241]

Yes, that’s the bullshit work around we have to do. Meanwhile, space marines can attach characters directly to a command squad so stupid.

[@JIMMYBOE1]

Great game guys 😎

[@SliderGames]

Thank you!
