The Broadside Battlesuit! Machine of War Showcase - Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus!

[@MrsNandi40k]

Nice to see all of this content so early in the month so I can have you all to myself when we're on holiday in a couple of weeks

[@markahlbaum3042]

That is incredibly cute❤

[@inquisitorgrynthebandito2736]

More TAU!

[@brandonlordbaltimore5182]

You work hard Mrs. Nandi. You deserve it. 👍🤘☺️

[@unholy7324]

I wanna watch

[@PP-qc5pd]

Finally Forgefiend fire spam counter for TA let's goooooo

[@ShmarveyXD]

Man, as a Tyranid and T'au fan, I'm practically gorged with all of these recent releases.

[@vegladex]

Sameeeee, I wasn't expecting a Tau MoW so soon!

[@ShmarveyXD]

@vegladex Hell yeah

[@hell1942]

Where's the video on parasite of mortrex Also is tsonji the machine or the guy in the machine, like revas for instance?

[@vegladex]

@@hell1942 We can expect a Parasite video soon I'm sure, and I don't think Tau are known by the names of their battlesuits so Tson'ji and Re'vas will be the names of the pilots.

[@hell1942]

​@@vegladexwell I'm unfamiliar with how the tau name stuff I thought it might be a thing where they gave it a name in their native language and that name is tsonji Foe one thing, to have live pilots operating such big and powerful machinery seems interesting to me Would it make more sense or less sense to have it be fully autonomous? the tau have no reason to fear ai like the humans

[@pokiefeg]

Very interesting MoW, the fact that the active bonus damage stacks on it self seems really powerfull and im hopeful we will get ways or stategies to maximize it against Guild Bosses, also the Fire Warriors being Range 3 with Overwatch Supression is making me scared

[@lofidante1778]

I hope the fire warrior npc hints towards a Tau Campaign. A Space marine v Tau would be sick. If tau are to have guardsmen allies, you probably want it from the imperial perspective in order to explain that these are either full Geu'vesa, or simply rebelling guardsmen backed by Tau (something like the Taros Campaign.) Lorewise I think Dark Angels would be good choice as the most "anti heretic" available space marines, especially if slightly reword to make them anti non-imperium rather then anti chaos. It also helps that the game currently gifts Azrael to new players as a milestone reward. Mechanically, Space Wolves would be nice as Ulf is good lower level character and it would nice make Ragnuar grindable. Or go all the way and just release Deathwatch, but I think that is unlikely.

[@lofidante1778]

That being said, realistically Genestealer Cults would be the easiest new faction to implement as they now have 3 different summons, and they could easily splash guardsmen and tyranids units into the campaign to add variety.

[@Nandi40k]

I'd love to see a Tau campaign but haven't heard any rumours of one!

[@icydude4096]

@@lofidante1778democles crusade or versus the imperial…hmm predictable…I don’t know but I feel more of death guards…except maladus and rotbone, the others are hard to grind…except pestilian that is totally useless

[@causseistvan8289]

When they make a new campain, it's always with an existing faction against a new faction, so if we have a T'au campain it will be against a new faction, not one existing actually

[@jordinagel1184]

I think a Deathguard campaign would be very viable as well, since poxwalkers have been in the game for a while (not just as a summons for one character, but an actual unit in some LREs). Since none of the existing imperial factions really have that much of a history with the Tau, and the GSC don’t have all their characters yet (unlike the Tau and DG), I think this is the more likely option

[@jmmangulabnan6710]

All these realses makes me so happy, I love seeing the transition of the models to game and I hope we got more stuff coming this Christmas

[@saltystorm8806]

I am a complete sucker for number breakdowns in videos, so I came to comment that I appreciate and love your videos Nandi!

[@Nandi40k]

hope the graphs were to your liking

[@MrChokes88]

They're very readable! I'm not often a big "research and theorycraft" guy in games, but yours are the first vids in Tacticus I watched, and now I watch nearly all of them. You do a great job at breaking down and simplifying info for viewers to digest, while still sticking to pure info without (too) much bias. ​@@Nandi40k

[@Corusame]

8:48 You had to mess with his son didn't you, that'll teach him 😂

[@ocde5395]

here I was hoping we'd get a broadside as the sixth Tau unit with a Ghostkeel as MoW

[@hell1942]

What's stopping it from being the other way around

[@MarcinSztomberski]

Nice one. I think it will definitely find it's way to tau-based teams and it make Darkstrider ability good for something finally

[@Xris_x]

This is what I needed Nandi! Also hi

[@HarkonWolf]

Yes I think is a positive change to allow u with more time to show new content😊

[@markahlbaum3042]

I can already see this being so good in guild raid!

[@JJJJJJJJJASDF]

This seems clunky. If the markerlight was applied before the missiles were fired, it would seem a lot more useful. Same with the turn long delay for the rifle to stop the other MoW. Right now it's asking for a lot of setup but doesn't seem to be paying off well for doing all that setup. Maybe the numbers are tuned high enough to reward it though, I guess we'll see.

[@Nobody-zl3kk]

Feels like the introduced the solution before the problem came in (anti-vehicles and anti-MoW) Honestly, respect.

[@vp91ksa]

Screamer killer also spends most of the fight standing still, and the piercing damage seems nice considering his relatively high armor

[@Erebdai]

Broadside got some good Dakka

[@Sandmann1193]

As a tabletop T'Au player, I have a squad of 3 Broadsides that I nearly use every single game since 8th edition. Having the big suit in the game now is amazing. Although I really struggle to get T'Au shards 😢

[@andreasmuller4666]

Like it very much, makes planning future character upgrades easier to do.

[@MichaelJ.Caboose-u5w]

Love seeing one of the models that i have painted on my Desk so beautifully done in tacticus ❤

[@XxyjmaxX]

Yes i like the early news

[@samiamrg7]

Can confirm that on tabletop, Dreadnoughts get pretty wrecked by Broadsides. They get even more wrecked by Hammerheads.

[@timwaldinsperger3209]

Mattineo will be a key against those fire warriors, in my opinion!

[@YaminoSeigi]

I hope this MoW will be useful against Rogal Tank since that thing is too tanky for those who don't have suitable units

[@conorslater8295]

Love it, I'm on board the hype train. I know the Broadside might not be the meta pick but 1. It's T'au and 2. The model looks great... I'm sold.

[@DakkaScrappa]

"so as you didnt saw our last battle i did twin linked to these guys so...NEVER AGAIN"

[@realtowen]

Take a walk the broadside…

[@ChrisR2020]

I was kind of hoping for something that helped pump more drone spam, so that there might be more things that make good use of Shadowsun's bonus hits. But, I'll enjoy this too.

[@jesseknorr8037]

Taunting enemies to prevent them from running from a Broadside shot sounds deadly

[@Bulgarian021]

VERY nice, ty ,man

[@malloc7108]

Like the NDA changes. Clearly we know what's coming, best to get the info up front. My FW broadsides are happy.

[@shaynemartin1916]

I'm excited to fight Tau to get this MOW. Hopefully that means a Tau campaign is on the way. The value of the broadside is greatly impacted by the lack of ways to get Marker Light. Hopefully we will get the Farsight Enclaves added as a faction in the future, or a rework for the Tau so that they can be buffed to be one of the top teams in Faction wars.

[@RXdash78]

Can't wait to use this guy in raids. Oh god I forgot that darkstrider can mark multiple targets. I'm gonna max this guy out fast.

[@bouldergage181]

Looks like a Rogal Dorn killer 🎉

[@unruly_ronin]

Da Ha Ha Ha Nandi's faction gets an update

[@francisanthonyanana7590]

I like the Broadside model from the DoW Soulstorm where the rail gun is located on its shoulders.

[@LorthianAzoth]

That was the original sculpt of the broadside when it was first released (way back in 3rd Ed).

[@francisanthonyanana7590]

@LorthianAzoth I see. But I think it is way cooler than what Tacticus has now imo. I like the idea of it fixing its feet to the ground as it fires its railgun to hold the recoil. And the missiles it fires from both its arms.

[@hell1942]

​@@LorthianAzoth why change?

[@pazekobloodthirster2256]

​@@francisanthonyanana7590same, imo the dawn of war or 3rd edition is a lot cooler. But tacticus only refers to the updated models from tabletop, that is why all models are primaris. Because of new edition Except ofcourse some firstborn with a name.

[@OracleofChaos-i6z]

What about skills similar to Mephiston's active ability will it count like movement in case of Tson'ji 's active?

[@samiamrg7]

Back in my day, the Broadside had shoulder-mounted cannons. I still prefer that arrangement, and if I get a new one, I am buying a conversion kit that makes the guns shoulder-mounted.

[@hell1942]

Late response but I feel like it's better with the recoil even if not flashy looking Shoulder mounted version would probably create strain on the suit and the wearer, even though aesthetically it's better

[@magicboyo5746]

Give me a Devilfish Machine of War that summons those Fire Warriors, NOW!

[@hell1942]

Devilish?

[@magicboyo5746]

@hell1942 Devil. Fish. It's a Tau troop transport

[@Ravenor83]

Nandi, do y'all have a Bluesky account? Also, please share more of your Tau army. Greater Good.

[@manueldavidsernaramos1551]

Now we just need a DG vs Tau campaign or more campaigns in general

[@rombcr77]

Some Riad Bosseshave a good mobility, but with my full T'au team almost all the tyranids bosses and the necron boss often stay pinned in front of my Aun'Shi and two shield drones, so the Broadside will be really good against them.

[@con7686]

I love that there are Tacitus videos on KZbin , if you were 3 months in (with most characters at least bronze stretching to silver 3), which character would you invest your time in??

[@Nandi40k]

Hmmm… 3 months in your focus is still probably raids? I think I’d do exitor rho in that case.

[@Kishin-yh7qv]

Interesting to see a new enemy Tau unit Makes me wonder if they're planning to do a campaign involving Tau at some point

[@joelsmith8884]

If they do and the fire warrior is the basic unit for it, then them having range 3, overwatch, and suppression is gonna make that a scary campaign lol

[@XxyjmaxX]

My buff revas&shosyl are hungry for this to be real

[@Kishin-yh7qv]

@@joelsmith8884 I agree hopefully they give us some units to counteract that and I hope it's not the deathguard because those guys are slow It's most likely going to be Genestealers at this point because those guys already have a huge number of units if you count the summons and the Tyranid units

[@jiyuhong5853]

the perfect rogal dorn counter

[@syraphian]

The Tacticus/One Piece crossover I’ve been waiting for is here at last

[@FirebreatherRay]

For future MoW releases I'd be interested to see a comparison between the new unit and the existing mows in that alliance. E.g.: how useful is broadside as compared to Biovore (since they'll be taking from the same components)

[@Keilink]

Sybille's gonna shine on that incursion track I guess :p

[@Mark.O1]

I understand it's Space Marines only. And it's vs Tau and Astra Mil, which could even include Sybill on their side.

[@Keilink]

@@Mark.O1 Oh true! Too bad x)

[@hell1942]

​@@Mark.O1why are tau and astra militarium allying? And why are ultramarine attacking?

[@Mark.O1]

I'm no expert here. The Developers will have their reasons. Maybe watch Nandi's video on Tau Lore, for Guardsmen allying. Otherwise, my guess on Space Marines (not just Ultramarines) is for accessibility - as new players will have some. And to add a bit more challenge for higher level players?

[@Keilink]

@@hell1942 The T'AU have assimilated human worlds in their spheres of expension, I guess that's what they wanted to emulate even though their equipement is wildly different.

[@scarletcroc3821]

Completely unrelated, but I do miss the old broadside model (like the ones in Dawn of War). On topic this unit seems pretty cool and could be pretty devastating. I’m also constantly capped out on munitions so this might be a good use of them

[@Persianbond]

So many releases. So much preparation.

[@Roylucky13]

Soooo good against rogal dorn? If timed when he spins around instead of moves?

[@ZarliWin]

My first thought is the 2ndry ability might be use it to trigger an extra attack from Rho. It won't be a huge impact, but might give a little bit more damage every turn.

[@Nandi40k]

He isn’t a mech so doesn’t trigger rho

[@ZarliWin]

@Nandi40k darn, I was just assuming that. Oh well.

[@pumpkinsoul12]

does this mean i no longer have to suffer the chaos dog spitting his fire on me all the time?

[@Yumao420]

It means you have to pay for it

[@aloser8703]

Honestly first new one I might skip in order to bulk up the ones I already have. The rail gun is cool, but I already am struggling to upkeep munitions. The secondary seems very meh

[@wheel-worried5003]

Flame hex creator characters like vindicta will like this, will work well with the battlesuit

[@DakkaScrappa]

so wonder what machine of war is for the Orks

[@sp0ckz0mbi3]

Tau campaign when?

[@RomainChevallier-sd3yr]

who are we going to fight with to unlock it?

[@XALECATX1]

How are we going to get it?

[@lupuslunarem3235]

debuffing other MoW's?! thats so funny

[@Howardone]

NANDI!!!! I need help.... could you please drop 2 shards of Aun Shi for us all 😂... I only needed two more and he's left the guild store, looks like he isn't going to be in the Rouge Trader either... Help me Obi Won Nandi, you're my only hope. 😂

[@svnwukong]

Does Tau npc indicate that next campaign wil be against the Tau?

[@jajsem1109]

Would be fun to have nurgle invasion on Tau.

[@claysmith3141]

So if it stops my mow do I still lose the munitions ?

[@jonathanhaynes9914]

Hey Nandi

[@Nandi40k]

Hi

[@FiveElevenSack]

So we gonna have Tau vs Imp campaign soon then 🤔

[@icydude4096]

Why always the imperials? Isn’t better xenos versus chaos? Or xenos versus xenos?

[@kuhvacako]

The fact the abilities aren’t boasted by marker light feels like a lore miss

[@thenathanimal2909]

LoL pretty OP

[@D30x1r1b0nukl31nsyra]

Is it mechanical though?

[@Nandi40k]

Nope

[@alexnilk8767]

It is no summon

[@gameaccount9539]

is the video blurry for others?

[@Nandi40k]

I hope not! First time I’ve heard this

[@wishkor1]

This isn't an ultramarine counter. The machine is a turtle camper. The garbages that sit in the back of the map with overwatching units are going to get reked. Same for the turtle with healers players. This is an anti turtle machine of war.

[@RaccManiacc]

I quite dislike the fact that it's an extremely hard counter to Galatian. Like... You'll just have to pull out your Broadside when facing a Galatian, effectively preventing it from being useful and then you'll have your usual team + your MOW still having some degree of usefulness, and whoever's on the other side will have to play pretty much as if they didn't even pick a MOW. There's no nuance, it's straight up a death sentence. Not the best design choice in my opinion

[@XxyjmaxX]

This guy actívate rho?

[@Nandi40k]

Nope! He's not a mech

[@lofidante1778]

kind of unfortunate this another MoW that punishes slower units (just like forgefiend does)

[@daluigi1]

What? A Tau unit been gimmicky and annoying? Who would have thought
