Sisters have a similar issue. Many of their characters are just regular infantry with some fancy decorations. On the flipside, this makes them super easy to kitbash.

[@TheLordofMetroids]

I feel thats true for Chaos (both Slaves and CSM) and even Space Marines. Everyone is a cooler Power Armor or Terminator guy.

@@midnightflare9879 @midnightflare9879 sure, only-games is where I got mine from - but if you don't want them from there you can get them from plenty other places too depending where in world you are. Just search 'sisters' on only-games or dakkadakka My fav models are "high sister Ornella", "Archangel Elizabeth", "angel of war", "speaker sister", "sisters sword priestess", all the sister "superior" models there's a lot of other good ones too but I think they are my fav 👍

Hadn’t noticed that yet, beautiful detail

[@keithsimpson2685]

That looks like a decal with how small n crisp

[@DukePotVase]

Glad, that they finally showed a model, which visualizes, how the Kroot rifle works. All the shapers look great. I think the War Shaper is my fav so far. Was really hoping for some whacky vehicles as well. I mean in Battleship Gothic they got a friggin sphere. But perhaps that just might be a use case, for when they really need one (cuz Space and Vacuum blah). Everything else can just be solved with rapid evolution. Pretty hyped overall. Fingers crossed that boxset is not going to be scalped into oblivion (which I'm not holding my hopes up for tbh)

[@inzyniertv9305]

Tau really need more auxiliary models, Gue'vesa would be fun but sadly we never get models of the many Tau allies

[@inzyniertv9305]

@@remigiusz7799 would be fun

[@Astartesparty]

Really ? You arnt happy with all your different kroot stuff 😂 sheesh I play dark eldar man I get nothing so stop complaining

[@princewhateverer]

I think the problem is more that Tau are known for being an alliance of many alien races but on the tabletop all we have is Tau proper, Kroot (admittedly in decent number now), and one unit of Vespid. I think people would be happier with maybe one or two of the more obscure sheets scrapped and replaced with more auxiliary ones. For example the Firesight team could be dropped for some flavour of Vespid sniper.

[@somenerdpng]

@@AstartespartyGet over yourself dude, stop being elitist, everyone should get stuff to fit their faction’s. Just let people be annoyed that they don’t have certain models they should have, you are allowed to be annoyed GW doesn’t give you the stuff u want. And after u are annoyed, you can go on to be happy and enjoy life, because that’s what everyone normal does. Stop being a weirdo.

[@shinkiro403]

Tbf guard models can easily be converted into gue'vesa: the breacher/strike team kit has lots of pauldrons and extra helmets, then if you don't mind the three-fingered hands you can use their arms too, otherwise (although they don't really have triggers or proper handles) you can attach the drones' carbines to their back. Me being a magnet nerd I put a 1mm magnet on the carbines, a 2mm for the arms and use blutak to fix the pauldrons, so if I want to use em as guardsmen I just need to detach the tau parts and swap the arms

[@jasonco2]

Only Shaper we still need is the Master Shaper, the big boy HQ unit (maybe rides a greater knarlocc?) that actually has semi-psyker powers because the collective belief of the Kroot under them imbues them with the factual power of the ancestors. Extra points to GW if the pull a Tomb King's Bone Dragon and the kit lets you either mount it on the monster or run it on foot with an alternate build for the monster.

[@henrychurch6062]

With the break action rifle, and the two inward facing blades: I can't unsee them snapping the rifles at enemies like scissors in melee.

[@Phlebas99]

2:45 Chances are you can't CP re-roll it anyway. CP re-rolls aren't for just any roll that you want to redo, there are specified rolls that are allowed.

[@UseARockOrSomething]

Nice thing about the trailer shaper: Extremely easy to kit bash. Dahyek grekh model from Blackstone/combat arena is already perfect, or just any regular Kroot on the right size base maybe a few extra little greebles and done. And all 3 shapers have pretty easy proxy/kitbash options in the farstalker box, just have to find out the right base sizes

[@dominicsevilla1189]

[@frankyuengling8074]

For the sentinels bases you could magnetize them and switch them as you need them.

[@NigeyWigey]

I think Kroot are definitely getting a solo detachment in the Tau codex, maybe not their own codex. I think the hardest thing with more expansive Kroot units in Tau is that there may not be super good synergy between Kroot and Tau in a single list, you may have to make hard choices between each half of the army.

[@odharrison23]

Tremors is like The Land Before Time!! Yep! Yep! Yep!! Agree about the solar aux, kinda faceless maybe if they had a head with a face. I’m kinda pumped about the kroot!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

i am pretty much 100% certain that the rider kroot wont be a new knarlock because knarlock were bipeds, whatever he is riding is a quadraped and also much more snake or lizard like then a knarlock which was much more a dinosaur adjacent.

[@petermartin9224]

With your love for Star Wars Legions, maybe you could dedicate "indie April" terrain pack to recreating a map from the good Star Wars Battlefield 2 game (the 2005 one). I know last year you did the one for Malifaux...That is of course, assuming you're doing indie April, or what ever you called it where you didn't touch GW stuff for a month 😂

[@carysage]

Shaper is the new Lieutenant

[@ErgonomicChair]

Only his rifle is break action. Also Kroot rifles are energy guns, they get multiple shots out of each charge.

Tau need more Vespid

[@t_hetty1758]

Tbh I feel the more tau units that aren’t actually tau will help them. They are an empire about following one ideology amongst many different species. So letting them expand and heck you can give other creatures their weapons just keep doing that.

[@agollumcalledgandalf]

The new dreads are on the new 90 mm base, not a full 100 mm :) same for the screamer killer

[@cenomnestpasvalide2201]

The new kroot fix the kroots, forget about Tau. Also there might be a lot of new kroot models, but for now there is not much new unit wise. Krootox beeing split into a melee one and a shooty one, and a bunch of characters. I don't dare have real hopes of another fun new stuff for them. More seriously, many people think Tau need Melee, but i think what makes Tau hard to balance is that they are bad objective holders. They don't have anything cheap and tanky enough to occupy the middle board very long. Some charge threat might help get around it, but their main problem by design is that they're kind of squishy accross the board.

[@nyallleary1643]

Might be good proxy for weapon teams ?

[@lukedaykin2067]

The real question is, why does a faction based around armored big battle suits need little unarmored lizard people for melee?

[@marcossanmartin2784]

Cannon fodder, it's the same as "why the imperium, with their super human tanks on legs, need the imperial guard" because suits are expensive and is time consuming to train fire warriors to be able to pilot one.

[@hunterdavis9941]

@@marcossanmartin2784 I'm pretty sure they talking about why they can't just give the mech a sword and do melee that way. They're strong enough to pick up guns larger than the mech, I'm pretty sure it should be able to swing a sword

[@somenerdpng]

@@hunterdavis9941I believe lore wise the mechs don’t react fast to be able to be effective in melee, in terms of a Tau will press a button to pilot the mech to swing one way, and that time between then pressing and swinging makes them ineffective. Pretty sure that’s why Commanded Farsight is such a unique dude amongst the tau, because he has the skills and life stealing sword bullshit, to be able to be a melee tau.

[@josephpatton8869]

Pro-strategy: When your opponent is in their shooting phase, say this repeatedly “Please don’t shoot my Kroot….please? Don’t shoot my Kroot?”. This will really start to throw your opponent off of their game after the 100th time you say it….you’re welcome! 😇😂

[@afiblacksails23]

I have 1300 points of T,au without the Kroot but I’ll be taking my army to 2000 with them and maybe, just maybe a Stormsurge.

[@ashleyturner6644]

You really should get Amidala painted for Shatterpoint. She, Sabé and the Handmaidens are quickly becoming my favorite squad to run. A note, you say there aren’t true “factions,” which is true… but each faction does different things and incentivizes combining them. Galactic Republic has Coordinating Fire, tagging on debuffs when allies shoot nearby. Separatists have great action efficiency, with droids often taking 1-3 moves for free when it’s not their turn. Inquisitors break ties on points, Dathomirians get great sustain and lifesteal…. Please play with some of those Squad Packs. The game is excellent when you’re really screwing around in the sandbox.

[@knackigbrot]

No chapter timestamps?

[@dwarrenmsp]

I've really cooled on Shatterpoint and haven't bought anything more for it after the core set. You came to the same conclusion that I did with that it feels like a boardgame with some combat. Characters are almost invincible from the lowly trooper to dark lord of the Sith. I think that keeps it from feeling like a war game. Attrition should be a part of it. I feel like they tried to avoid every "feels bad" scenario and it just left the game feeling like a bland plank of wood.

[@11AleZZ]

Shatterpoint was always planned as a board game, with some elements of wargame (3D terrain, different factions), because the SW wargame is Legions

[@dwarrenmsp]

@@11AleZZ I'm not so sure. They make Marvel Crisis Protocol which is my favorite skirmish game which I'd call a "wargame" too I guess.

Crisis suit EITHER have 4+ invuln (with the shield gen.) OR the fall back and shoot with that one accessorie. If Shaun was using both he was either cheating or he was just making a mistake learning the army. Also Crisis suits have no keywords🤗

[@anoriginalzero3107]

Each crisis suit can be equiped with any combination of shield generator, weapon support system (ignore any/all modifiers to BS), or battlesuit support system (fallback and shoot), but only the specific models equiped with that wargear gets the benefits. So in a unit of three battlesuits, lets say one has the shield generator and two have the battlesuit support system. If you want to use the 4++ save, then any attacks with a successful wound roll against this unit must be resolved against the battlesuit specifically equipped with the shield generator, resolving the invuln saves until either all the remaining attacks are saved or the battlesuit is removed as a casualty, then you have to use the rest of the unit's normal saves. Similarly, if the unit falls back from combat, then only the two battlesuits equipped with battlesuit support systems can fall back and shoot, the other one without it cannot. Crisis suits are a tricky unit to play the rules right during games 😵‍💫

Why does GW think Kroot would look like their animals they ride. It’s like horses having human faces so we put hats on them

[@anoriginalzero3107]

It's because the Kroot are the common ancestor in the evolutionary chain, kinda like how humans and apes share similarities. Some Kroot ate too many doggos or gorillas and turned into them, instead of evolving alongside them like humans did with other animals.

Then a Soritas Inquisitor Baneblade variant. So, you think you can create a Inquisitor Army Unit? With Baneblade variants, because Inquisitor? They are the Joker & Ace cards of 40k, they can pop up, anywhere & with any unit. I can see such a Inquisitor having a tech database on his/her ship, that lets those units to be created on board of the ship, using the ship it's machine shops.
