TAU FIREWALL v's ORK HORDE! | UEBS2 Warhammer 40K

[@ChaoticPinky]

FAQ: Q: This isn't lore accurate; they would never (insert problem here). A: Yes, you are probably right. This game was never designed for Warhammer units, and the game offers little in mod tools to help us make it accurate. What it does allow us to do for the first time is to have a sense of the scale of Warhammer battles and just how big and chaotic the battlefields would be! Q: Why are there no lasers? Why can't we see the special attacks? A: The game only has a few ammunition types. As the game has nothing to do with Warhammer, none of the ammo types such as lasers are in the game, so you will have to just imagine they are there :) Q: Why do attacking armies never/rarely get ranged units? A: Because of how the game's AI works. The defenders will often shoot the closest units to them; often that will be a melee unit. This allows the attacking ranged units to fire upon the defenders without taking any fire in return. The result of this is that the defenders die extremely fast and any static defence is overrun almost instantly. Q: Why don't you put the defenders on Guard then? A: The AI in the game will make the defenders slowly run backwards if they are a ranged unit, trying to get away from the attacking army, resulting in the defenders abandoning their positions. The armies then split into mini armies as they try to chase each other all over the map. Q: Where can I get these mods? I don't see them anywhere!? A: I paid someone to make the mods for me and add them to the game. Unfortunately, they are not in a publishable format, and so I cannot upload them to the Steam Workshop. Therefore, it's unlikely, unless other modders make the units, that you will be able to have access to them.

Accurate version: Tau: "COME ON! LET ME SHOOT MY F*UCKING RAIL GUN! YOU'VE BEEN FIRING FOR NINE HOURS!" Ork: "Hold on while I get another roll, hehehe"

[@mynameispaul718]

This is how I imagine every regular warhammer 40k battle goes. Just piles of dead body over each other lying on a pool of blood. I don't even play warhammer games, just watch their lores on youtube.

[@Rubysh88]

yep, i sleep with 40k lore channels, i love the lore and do not care about the game

[@TheRonan92]

Just like the early art in 1st 2nd and 3rd edition with the hugely detailed epic battlefield art.

[@Rathkeaux]

The ghazkhull audio book is ridiculously good, and the descriptions of the battle for Armageddon paint a very nice picture of how a long running battlefield in 40k looks.

[@cesare_1302]

Fr. This might be a lore accurate skirmish of the campain of scouring where tau first encounter orks (and developed pulse weapons to counter them)

[@user-or1pi8tr2e]

The lore is the best part, from someone like you who ended up trying the tabletop game 😊

[@tastygravy6880]

Tau: "Another day at the office". Orks: "The same day, everyday".

[@hawkshot867]

Ooooh, wha' a day, wha' a 'ovely day!

[@Idazmi7]

Accurate version: Tau: "COME ON! LET ME SHOOT MY F*UCKING RAIL GUN! YOU'VE BEEN FIRING FOR NINE HOURS!" Ork: "Hold on while I get another roll, hehehe"

[@mmcas2010]

Kroot were the real hero holding the line for tau to keep shooting

[@mechachunks1238]

kurroot

[@Cryshalo]

Shocked at just how far back that carpet of bodies began. Those Hammerheads must have been putting in a lot more work than seemed readily apparent.

[@StarshipTrooper4231]

If you listen closely you can hear the RAM memory and processor screaming in panic to eachother.

[@IrishCaesar]

One of your best videos. The corpse infrastructure, blood seas, close calls, dynamic action, and brilliantly set-up defenses make this video an instant classix

[@RJALEXANDER777]

Oddly this reminded me of the Battle of Cannae. When Hannibal took on the Roman horde the sheer weight of numbers caused the Carthaginian centre to buckle whilst the flanks held firm. Similar situation with the Orks as that was where the main weight of their numbers were. Even despite the T'au lines being strengthened by Kroot mercs (coincidentally it was mostly mercenaries that held Hannibal's centre as well). But like at Cannae the flanks were where victory was made, manifesting as a crossfire instead of an envelopment due to the T'au using guns.

[@captainsternn7684]

"The Orks forgot to bring their mech suitss" It looks like they forgot to bring their ammo too, not a single ork fire their gunz. 5/10 No Dakka!

[@spencerwinslow1309]

Thats what I was thinking. All choppa bois, no shootas!

[@cesare_1302]

Definitely not enough dakka

[@GensiveSanglante]

Where is the kult of speed?

[@Sanguinarius9999]

There should have been a few killer kanz mixed in, the tau had tanks...

[@iggyschlepp]

NO stmpas? No Killa Kans? No Vehicles? what kind of ork army is this.

[@anothertexanbull4039]

A general rule of thumb. If you can see the Tau, they're losing. They have such advanced and long rangwd weaponry that ideally they will be firing upon their foes from miles away and never be in danger.

[@CaptainSkylocke]

Not always. I play more a strike force than a gun line

[@declandagod5450]

Yeah Tau are ment to work more like a modern military of smaller teams, they are more primarily for moderate ranges and yes tau storm and go In to melee look at breachers

[@CaptainSkylocke]

@@declandagod5450 I only use battle suits in my army.

[@declandagod5450]

@CaptainSkylocke fusion blasters are a close combat weapon, stealth suits are made to get behind enemy lines and be up close and a battle suit only army is not the best way to play tau on table you realt should get some infantry for objectives and a hammerhead or 2.

[@CaptainSkylocke]

@@declandagod5450 I don't care what the best way to play is. I play armies that I like. I love themed armies. It's much more fun than everyone having the same army. I like a blend of close assault and long range. A boring gunline isn't the only way to play Tau.

[@loadofcheese]

Jesus, I'm pretty sure even Khorne said that's too much blood!

[@StressmanFIN]

Khorne witnessing the battle, nodding eagerly and quietly whispering "yes.... yeess..." World Eaters: *Concern*

[@ExceedProduction]

Orks: "Dammit, we'z lost dis scrap! But it wuz a dang good un!" T'au: "Glory and victory for the Greater Good! Tonight we celebrate!" The Imperal Armada in Orbit: "Exterminatus is it."

[@Gaster_021]

Imagine how much more gruesome it would be with the Orks using firearms and cannons

[@bartomolev6682]

well if you gave mechs to orks then the tau would bring out some of their own mechs

[@YorkGoldtoof]

Give the Orks some WW2 tanks or Imperium tanks, especially if there's no infantry shoota boyz.

[@Sanguinarius9999]

​@bartomolev6682 the tau had tanks, works should have had a few killer kanz sprinkled through their army to absorb more damage and close the gap a little faster.

[@Leytier]

The amount of gun smoke just created a new greenhouse layer LOL

[@danielw1383]

One surviving ork, i bet it was bert, our special ork

[@preumsclassiques2654]

I think that bert is becoming a Warboss now

[@cesare_1302]

He's a purple ork

[@TheChurlishBoor]

Your commentary reminds of Craig Charles doing Takeshi's Castle and football commentators. It's good. Lol.

[@Gonroamin]

Reminder, when your big, bad equipment is a mech, or mech suit, don't forget where you left the keys!

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

I think the center fell first for two major reasons. One a lot of the elite orc units like the Storm boys seemed focused on the center, and two I think some of them drowned. All the blood basically flowed to the center and while some of it provided a barrier for the orcs to cross, the center most wedge was at the lowest elevation.

[@purplefood1]

That's metal as fuck

[@MrDekasOne]

the shape of the tau defence really helped. Being U shaped, the ai focuses on the closest enemy, so the orks would send less troops to the flanks

[@bartomolev6682]

tau tactics: make a blood moat to protect our frontlines blood moat: actualy works

[@darkstriker80]

Blood moat is such a Khorne thing to have.

[@dragonkingofthestars]

40K: the setting where everybody has forgotten how clusterbombs work.

[@TranquillShot]

Watching this video with a low bitrate is terrifying. Every time you zoom out, the orc horde literally becomes a solid black blob.

[@SmokesKwazukii]

the Tau tanks really needed to use their railguns from the beginning. it didnt appear that they were.

[@IberianCraftsman]

Well that much ork biomass on any planet you might as well glass the entire planet, its already contaminated beyond redemption

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

When the terrain causes your center defense line to drown in your enemys blood.

[@NewLegacy93]

The Orks: “The tin cans have responded favourably to our delegation, time to engage in full deplomacy”

[@BloodRoses004]

-Sir, theres another ork Army. Ten times bigger this one we merely defeated. -Ok, bring the broadside battle suit and make a rain of fire fall over those green monsters.

[@Guillean22]

Do you know what's the scariest about the Tau in this battle ? I'm pretty sure the center line collapsed because they literally drowned in blood.

[@AndScrambledEggs]

The chaos gods are FEASTING.

[@MahsaKaerra]

Really surprising to see the flanks actually hold for once

[@ratedxstream4945]

The Boyz loved every second of that slaughter

[@Wojtekoa]

The center had bigger breakthroughs due to poor coverage in fire. Also keep in mind that is only like a quarter of tau standard fire power mixes. There aren't mini gun drones, battle suits, and siege suits.

[@benjaminkirkley6730]

the orks needed trucks to cross the field. that would have been a deciding factor

[@dionrussell9681]

The Orkz. Getting Absolutely obliterated. "BUT THE ORKZ ARE HAVING NONE OF IT" is the vibe of this

[@matsbacklund6471]

It's safe tosay the groots were carrying the team. It'd be good to see the same but with artillery of some kind, maby an alliance that allow a couple of earthshakers. Gork and Mork would be proud of those orcs!

[@RedStar441]

Just your avg thursday in 40k.

[@jedrzejkoszewski4342]

Ork boss: Prep da boatz. Ork nob: But thay hab no moat. Ork boss: Not Yet.

[@Amenema]

This is how Warhammer battles should be portrayed, as messy as it is and imperfectly as it translates to actual gameplay. That being said, this is why a total war Warhammer 40k game will not be able to truly encapsulate the world. Their battles number in the thousands at most. It’d only be small skirmishes.

[@zinkaghost6490]

Thing about orks is when they die they release spores that creates more orks.

[@RedHammer112]

GET THOSE HOODIES OUT THE WAY! I want to see that huge-ass explosions with the bodies everywhere and not a sweater!

[@Lavalord1160]

The orks lack dakka… we need more dakka!!! We need titans or trukks!!!

[@seanmcdonald5859]

Finally, an epic battle where I don't care about either side 😂

[@Blemmo]

This is what total war skaven play should look like

[@TranquillShot]

My god, it can simulate enough blood to create impassable terrain? Holy fucking shit!

[@philponic2787]

Have the remaining Tau fight a Khornate incursion because they just summoned one. Blood for the something god.

[@PeterSusanna]

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more

[@willgreen6079]

Now introduce ork tanks, buggies, bikes, gargants and maybe a squig and see how it plays out again ? That would be epic 😆

[@17joren]

The Tau units need more range. The orks should have some deflect chance to represent their own dakka lmao

[@LuciusFaith]

wasn't orks made from the kroots dna by the gods before the golden ages

[@jaybberwocky]

I had no idea this game had come this far. If there are mods/baked in units for everything in 40k, I am IN!

[@ChaoticPinky]

Sadly there us not many 40k mods :(

[@jaybberwocky]

@@ChaoticPinky That's a shame. I had a look at the workshop and there are a decent amount of 40k mods but a lot of the ones I've seen in your videos don't seem to exist. How did you get all the Ork Shootaz/Nobz/Meganobz/Tau/Terminator Space Marines etc. ?

[@privatefrizz8627]

Imagine if the Tau had all their weapons. Orks wouldn’t even be in melee range at all.

[@barlotardy]

Last time I was this early, "blasting nobz" meant something else entirely!

[@gobrinsan7173]

Storm Boyz.. Walking... yeah. Orks are a hoard sure but they are not stupid enough to blindly walk into a gun line..

[@samronco5133]

If only kroot were this good on the table...

[@crazkurtz]

Stormboyz with working packs would demolish

[@paulmcghee6160]

You made a warhammer game sound like a football match hahahaha

[@---dn1fl]

Paper mache orks in this video lmao

[@DJROCKSTAZ]

…Wait a minute… no battlesuits for the Tau?

[@yauhoang6773]

Thank good for Tau having unlimited ammo or they would have lost.

[@abbylegale]

What people forget about the Tau is they keep adapting I like to pretend the Kroot's second line of defense there by squeezing out of the Tau fire line was one of those hehehe

[@Sketchingoblin]

Seriously need to reprogram that whole game if that just happened.

[@teamredshirt]

This is crazy and i love it. I will say that its too bad the game doesnt know how to use the Stormboyz properly, I'd be interested to see how them actually being able to use that back rocket to close the gap would affect the battle.

[@galdivier]

This pleases Khorne

[@seanmcdonald5859]

The perfect voice for such an epic battle . . . . . . Just like football commentators 😊

[@jonjonsovich1420]

"kuh-root" lol. It's "Kroot"...not "Kuhroot". One syllable not two.

[@hamishevans9102]

He knows, he only says it as a joke because he thinks it sounds funny

[@Dloin]

And now you still have to scorch the whole place or those green skins just regrow 😂

[@lordterra1377]

Do Tau never need to reload or weapons never overheat?

[@ilusao1111]

I thought the Ork army was water..... I'm still recovering

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Explosives would have been nice.

[@Philtoid]

The T'au not running away like the cowards they are was the biggest surprise 😅

[@Bassthefact]

Honestly that is a small waghhh!

The only thing that still really bugs me about this game is range units being able to shoot trough their allies. If only there was a way to fix that.

Mi biggest nitpick with this game is that there is no friendly fire
