Brother, using decoys is covered in part LLXII, section AAPA, chapter 231, paragraph 4, subsection 3. It does allow for Ultramarines to be used as decoys. In fact, the Ultramarines would be the best decoys in the galaxy because they are the best marines in the universe.

Not really, since Ultramarines WOULD use decoy tactics, Templars would consider it cowardly, but the ones this really SHOULD have been were the Raven Guard
I like the idea that the reason there's not much fanart of Tau winning is cause they'd be too far away to be placed in the same picture with whatever it is that they just shot
As funny as this is, one of my favourite games as a Tau player was against Black Templars. Back in 3rd ed, played a game of Tau V BT and came down to the last round where there were only four units left in play: An Emperors Champion leading his retinue, a Marshal leading another unit, and two Firewarrior squads. The templars had taken a couple of casualties, but both above half strength while the firewarriors were at full capacity. There was no way I'd pull off a win, but I wasn't going to get salty and forfeit. Pressed against the back edge of the board, I had to take the charge, and it was looking nasty... until my opponent rolled his dice. Two marines hit. Out of both squads. They did wound and I failed my saves, so that was two less Firewarriors. The EC and M were going at bottom initiative, so my firewarriors went next. more than half the attacks hit. More than half of those wounded. Four Marines failed their saves. The EC missed every attack, while the marshall landed three. He rolled two 1's on three dice for damage with a powerfist. Tau won combat. Against the Black Templars. I can't remember exactly but I have a feeling the rules used to be that Marines would run from combat when defeated, but would auto-rally at the start of their next turn. So as they were running on the final turn of the game they counted as defeated. Over the next week I converted four of those tau to wield chainswords and have Black Templar body parts on their bases. The BT player and I had a good laugh about it next time we played against each other.
@@skree272 The squad that took out the lightning claw wielding marshall got a set of bayonets attached to their pulse rifles after that game, making sure each blade was about the same size and shape as one of the claw blades. A lot of my units got those sorts of upgrades as I played.
@Jordan Winders Well, when range is really your only gimmick then anything with artillery, D-weapons, deep strike, or air units can still kick you in the teeth so...you know, Orcs, Necrons, Marines, GUARD for Big E's sake....

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it might be because this is based off of the Play on Tabletop tournament match between Tau and our boys in black. It went exactly like this.
@@Scharrez 4+ is 50% average that isnt Bad, thats just average. Your basic infantry get S5 on your guns, meaning you wound toughness 3 and 4 troops which are on all armies on 3+. Try being a fucking hormagaunt S3 T3 Cant kill a fucking wheel of cheese no matter how many rerolls you give them.
@@Ariocsneedle hormagaunts have numbers, that's the whole point they're a cheap screen unit, fire warriors and even pathfinders cost more points, the low BS for a pure shooty army is absolutely terrible
@@angrykobold5970 4+ ballistic skill is average, and what I expect of someone who hasn’t received special forces training. Also, u gotta remember, Tau are even shorter lived than humans, so the fact that they can train their troops to be as effective at shooting as basic guardsmen, in a MUCH shorter time is ASTOUNDING. What’s more, being a shooter army is not about the accuracy, I mean, it’s NICE to have the accuracy, but that’s not the core of the army. The core is how all the different pieces fit together. Take those marker lights for example, they provide bonuses to your army for shooting whatever has been marked, making it easier to take that target down. It’s not possible points wise, nor effective to have a marker light unit for EVERY other unit in your army, so instead, u give yourself enough to mark up the most dangerous units in your enemies army, which at the start of the game, is ANYTHING that can shoot u back, and hit hard in doing so, such as artillery, tanks, aircraft, or specialised infantry. You then use your marker lights, to make destroying these targets, easier for the rest of your army, and u devote specific units to certain tasks. Example, does the enemy have a lot of tanks? Well, mark up the most dangerous vehicles, and unload your heavy ordnance upon them, while your infantry focus on pinning down the enemy infantry, if they have any. What about a swarm army, such as the Nids or Orks, well focus the fastest targets first, as an army based around firepower, it’s important to keep the enemy at arms length, so taking down the units which will most likely reach u first is the best course of action. Again, accuracy is not the issue, and if you think it is, your playing the Tau wrong, the Tau are closer to modern militaries, that we have today, than all of the other factions in 40k (possibly the reason their so unpopular as their the ‘been there done that army’), they work on a system of integrated and interconnected military tactics and units, with each unit supporting the other. WHY for the love of god, do you think their army passive, is a blanket support fire Overwatch system that NO other army has. Tau accuracy is perfectly fine, both game and lore wise, I’ve almost NEVER had a problem hitting something with Tau shooting, if anything, I tend to go a little overboard… I’m kinda partial to High Yield Missile pods on Broadsides… yea… you DON’T want to be in the way of that, TRUST ME.
not really. The Tau have a lot of advantages but also a lot of disadvantages. the raw destructive power of most other factions, combined with numbers and more enhanced anatomy does give them one hell of an advantage. supposedly Tau are, on average, weaker and with poorer depth perception and ability to see and comprehend motion than humans.
I like how the black templars are using pictures of ultramarines as bait. They won’t let anyone soil an image of their chapter, but guilliman’s boys? Go nuts. You know a comment is good when 2 months later, you watch the video again, forgetting you commented, and coming up with the same comment only to see it when you scroll down
All because there is crusade against the corruption of the furry and the taint Lupus Mortem doesn't mean we can ignore the Xeno's threat. For the Emperor.
I may have made that cutout during my days as an Initiate. Same with all other initiates of the Black Templar. Glad to have it used for the Emperor's purpose.
Little did that SM know there were actually 50 stealth suit units right behind him casually putting plasma grenades into his pockets and that sniper was an honorable sacrifice.
Their stealth suits are only stealth 500 feet away from an astartes. So that wouldnt work. They are a visual distortion, they don't hide from Auspex, or the Astartes senses.

They're relatively big and It's been like chipping away at several boulders at once 😅. Basically work/life threw a curveball at me for the past year and got in the way, but I've got way more time now and finishing one pretty soon. Finally 🙃 Thanks for caring.
At first i was cheering for the T'au to die. Then i saw the Ultramarine and cheered for him to kill him. Then i saw the Black Templar and i cheered FOR A FUCKING ORBITAL STRIKE
Would have been funnier if it were an actual Ultramarine and the laser weapon only slightly singed his paint job, and the marine looks up at the tau with an annoyed expression.
Propaganda. Tau suck. You want Tau? Then go play to Star Wars or Star Trek then. The Tau simply do not belong in the Warhammer 40k setting. They should be removed from existence just like the Squats were.
Wait to be honest the tau have amazing ranged specialty. Edit: all right apparently people think that I'm saying that the tau have the BEST range. All I'm saying is they exel at range but are not the best.
Again, recently, the distance they can fire is on par with new Imperial units, but the attacks are overall less effective Yeah, the still outrange a Tactical Squad, but nearly all the Primaris Squads have about the same range with more effective weapons
It must be embarrassing for the Imperium that this newbie upstart species can tear them apart at range. To Tau the Imperium are basically just Orks with a high opinion of themselves.
Looks about right. Except for the fact that the one Black Templar will get lit up by like 50 other Tau watching their friend get chainsawed. But pretty accurate.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it might be because this is based off of the Play on Tabletop tournament match between Tau and our boys in black. It went exactly like this.
tau: wait was it a cardboard figure all this time?
space marine with chainsword behind the tau : Always been
No need to explain the obvious. We all saw that
Honestly I figured that the fire warrior would have missed, Tau being the shooting army that can barely shoot on the tabletop
I love my Tau but honestly a shooting based Ork army is more effective than them
Yeah, they've got all those big fancy guns, but with out markerlights they're completely incompetent
@@Scharrez 4+ is 50% average that isnt Bad, thats just average. Your basic infantry get S5 on your guns, meaning you wound toughness 3 and 4 troops which are on all armies on 3+. Try being a fucking hormagaunt S3 T3 Cant kill a fucking wheel of cheese no matter how many rerolls you give them.
@@Ariocsneedle hormagaunts have numbers, that's the whole point they're a cheap screen unit, fire warriors and even pathfinders cost more points, the low BS for a pure shooty army is absolutely terrible
@@angrykobold5970 4+ ballistic skill is average, and what I expect of someone who hasn’t received special forces training. Also, u gotta remember, Tau are even shorter lived than humans, so the fact that they can train their troops to be as effective at shooting as basic guardsmen, in a MUCH shorter time is ASTOUNDING. What’s more, being a shooter army is not about the accuracy, I mean, it’s NICE to have the accuracy, but that’s not the core of the army. The core is how all the different pieces fit together. Take those marker lights for example, they provide bonuses to your army for shooting whatever has been marked, making it easier to take that target down.
It’s not possible points wise, nor effective to have a marker light unit for EVERY other unit in your army, so instead, u give yourself enough to mark up the most dangerous units in your enemies army, which at the start of the game, is ANYTHING that can shoot u back, and hit hard in doing so, such as artillery, tanks, aircraft, or specialised infantry. You then use your marker lights, to make destroying these targets, easier for the rest of your army, and u devote specific units to certain tasks.
Example, does the enemy have a lot of tanks? Well, mark up the most dangerous vehicles, and unload your heavy ordnance upon them, while your infantry focus on pinning down the enemy infantry, if they have any.
What about a swarm army, such as the Nids or Orks, well focus the fastest targets first, as an army based around firepower, it’s important to keep the enemy at arms length, so taking down the units which will most likely reach u first is the best course of action.
Again, accuracy is not the issue, and if you think it is, your playing the Tau wrong, the Tau are closer to modern militaries, that we have today, than all of the other factions in 40k (possibly the reason their so unpopular as their the ‘been there done that army’), they work on a system of integrated and interconnected military tactics and units, with each unit supporting the other. WHY for the love of god, do you think their army passive, is a blanket support fire Overwatch system that NO other army has.
Tau accuracy is perfectly fine, both game and lore wise, I’ve almost NEVER had a problem hitting something with Tau shooting, if anything, I tend to go a little overboard… I’m kinda partial to High Yield Missile pods on Broadsides… yea… you DON’T want to be in the way of that, TRUST ME.
i real life tau would probably win most of the time
but hey its fantasy sci-fi so what ever
go team chainsword.
not really. The Tau have a lot of advantages but also a lot of disadvantages. the raw destructive power of most other factions, combined with numbers and more enhanced anatomy does give them one hell of an advantage.
supposedly Tau are, on average, weaker and with poorer depth perception and ability to see and comprehend motion than humans.
When I was a kid I thought the Tau were so cool..then I learned they aren't humans so nope.
A TEMPLAR? this pleases the chapter.
i see no markerlights, they would have clearly missed
If there were ever proof that 40K characters can look adorable, this may be it.
First off. The Tau Soldier was too close. He could see the Space Marine. A real Tau would shoot from 6 KMs away from orbit.
And the Second?
@@DemonKingVI No, Mech Support.
the fact Black Templars use ULTRAMARINE cardboard cutouts is just perfect
An unexpected sequel.... but a welcomed one!
I like how the black templars are using pictures of ultramarines as bait. They won’t let anyone soil an image of their chapter, but guilliman’s boys? Go nuts.
You know a comment is good when 2 months later, you watch the video again, forgetting you commented, and coming up with the same comment only to see it when you scroll down
0:15 *CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!*
The marine player when his smash captain gets shot off the board turn 1 (but the funny video said Tau bad) 🤯🤯🤯
The sequel everyone wanted but no-one expected. Especially that tau.
The Warhammer 40k Community has finally got itself its own Carbot!
Your blood shall benefit us Tau brothers and sisters for the Greater Good!
All because there is crusade against the corruption of the furry and the taint Lupus Mortem doesn't mean we can ignore the Xeno's threat. For the Emperor.
i feel like this could easily become the Wile-e Coyote of 40k
Shows Black Templars perfectly understand the Tau's greatest strength
If you see the Tau, they’re losing
Rule of 40k. If you see the T'au then you know they're loosing.
Tau is really good in melee, along with Mont Ka which is really good when it comes to doing a bit of running away and firing like a true tau
That black Templar asked a Raven Guard how to get into range with tau
Imagine the black templar who had to build and paint that decoy
Some Neophyte probably
I may have made that cutout during my days as an Initiate. Same with all other initiates of the Black Templar. Glad to have it used for the Emperor's purpose.
@@kuyagab4444 cool
@@petergusev999 agreed
So, this is the Me-lee they keep on speaking of.
As someone who plays tau... your not wrong
Everybody better save a copy of this before it has to disappear under mysterious circumstances
Little did that SM know there were actually 50 stealth suit units right behind him casually putting plasma grenades into his pockets and that sniper was an honorable sacrifice.
Their stealth suits are only stealth 500 feet away from an astartes. So that wouldnt work. They are a visual distortion, they don't hide from Auspex, or the Astartes senses.
1. Good shot,
2. How the heck something that big move so quiet!?!

@Egg T Everyone will become one with Mother Russia.
Are you still going back to TH-cam, or have you been working on something else?
Hi, I WILL be back, I'm not dead. I know it's been FOREVER, but I'm working on several other 40k projects for the channel whenever I have free time. They're relatively big and It's been like chipping away at several boulders at once 😅. Basically work/life threw a curveball at me for the past year and got in the way, but I've got way more time now and finishing one pretty soon. Finally 🙃 Thanks for caring.
Oh so that's how he lands into melee range of the other marine
3 thoughts.
1. Is that a minigun?
2. Wait, is that a sniper minigun?
3. Oh wait, that's a sniper.
Just like with "Tau in Melee", this is both 100% accurate and hilarious.
At first i was cheering for the T'au to die. Then i saw the Ultramarine and cheered for him to kill him. Then i saw the Black Templar and i cheered FOR A FUCKING ORBITAL STRIKE
Would have been funnier if it were an actual Ultramarine and the laser weapon only slightly singed his paint job, and the marine looks up at the tau with an annoyed expression.
Nah, That's a pulse rifle not a lazgun. A headshot like that could easily blow a marine's head to bits.
@@jdcrosier2682 that's not a pulse rifle. It's a rail rifle.
Propaganda.
Tau suck.
You want Tau? Then go play to Star Wars or Star Trek then.
The Tau simply do not belong in the Warhammer 40k setting.
They should be removed from existence just like the Squats were.
Wait to be honest the tau have amazing ranged specialty.
Edit: all right apparently people think that I'm saying that the tau have the BEST range. All I'm saying is they exel at range but are not the best.
Not in a few years, they haven't; still have range, but apparently now all the have is .22 LR to fire
@@Scienda no I mean that they have really good range. Not the best but really good.
Again, recently, the distance they can fire is on par with new Imperial units, but the attacks are overall less effective
Yeah, the still outrange a Tactical Squad, but nearly all the Primaris Squads have about the same range with more effective weapons
@@Scienda and again I'm not saying that they have the BEST range they just excel at it but dont have the best.
@@withergamingcxw1137 they don't even excell at it they're just meh.......
To be fair, their basic armament isn't really meant to bring down heavily armoured Space Marines... badly armoured Tyranids however...
It must be embarrassing for the Imperium that this newbie upstart species can tear them apart at range. To Tau the Imperium are basically just Orks with a high opinion of themselves.
Orks don’t have a high opinion of themselves? Are you sure about that?
@@crazy4bricksthebrickbrothe722 compared to the Imperium of Man? Absolutely not lol
yeah, they were almsot wiped out by a budget "crusade" thanks to the leviathan hive fleet they were left alone.
Here before GW begins their purge of all 40k fan content….just ask the likes of Sodaz…love the 40k lore, hate GW corporate
This has inspired me to reinstall Soulstorm. To play as space marines.
Leave it to the blueberries to make good bait for blueberries.
Poor guy was so happy for the briefest of moments
Classic Black Templars using blue boy scouts as cardboard cut out target practice. CLASSIC
I dont know what this is or who made it, but its adorable thank you
This is how the Tau from warhammer 40k fight and its made by Dragon saint here
Looks about right. Except for the fact that the one Black Templar will get lit up by like 50 other Tau watching their friend get chainsawed. But pretty accurate.
Excellent
@Egg T Professionals have standards
Can we all appreciate that the Black Templars use Ultramarine cutouts as bait...
No one likes the Smurfs...
The legend is back!!
Ok. Why Black Templars use Ultramarine themed decoys?
Tau may be the common laughing stock. But for me they will always be the coolest race^^ for the greater good 👌
All hail they black templars, No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!"
