"I assure you, chapter master, that the ongoing research into T'au feet is integral to the success of this campaign"
-Doge Vandire
I clicked for the title. Not because of feet but because it's funny, I SWEAR
Sure
We all have our fetishes... Nothing wrong with that.
The Men Who Stare at Tau Feet
@@daygoo053 that's hawt
I really like the laid back style of these vids. No fast cuts and yelling at me after a day of work. It feels like someone in front of me is actually talking to me like a regular person. Please keep it that way.
I'd love to see a Titanfall style movement shooter but for Craftworlds, I think that would be absolutely awesome.
I’d like to see a Titanfall type game with tau crisis suits instead. But I’m glad someone else thinks Titanfall and Warhammer go well together 😃.
K that would be super cool.
Isn't Hired Gun a wall running jumping and shooting game?
So what your saying is the ingredients are already there
I just want to play titanfall :(
Space Marine did okay, but shortly after its release THQ fell apart, and the plans for a sequel were first shelved then cancelled entirely as the publisher went bankrupt and was parcelled off in pieces around the game industry, so it just never got made. I'm super glad it finally is now though, happy the IP rights survived somewhere.
@Conan the barbarian I bought the anniversary edition on Steam. Super cool game! I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't buy it when it originally released.
I really like your point about adding variance throughout the painting scheme of an army. I have never really thought about it in a “zebra“ kind of way but you’re totally right. Going to implement some more contrasting paint schemes across my next army.
Listening to your videos coming home from uni exams has became a tradition at this point. This one has tau somewhere too 😍
God bless my space shotgun goaty bois
On GW keeping EVERYTHING available .... let me point to the infamous Chapterhouse lawsuite (aka the thing that killed Fantasy for good). In the ruleing the judges said that its not Copyright infringement to produce models that have rules in a game if the owner doesnt offer them.
So if GW has rules for Landspeeders in the codex (to not piss of old fans) but doesnt sell Landspeeders (because the model is out of fashion) then BAM 3rd party Landspeeders everywhere. And James cant let that happen, right?
I assure you Inquisitor, the Tau feet pics are imperative to the survival of the Imperium
I love the Tau Hooves! IMHO they are important to their aesthetic. But Darkstriders hooves.. oh my they wierd!
Lol. Seeing the title and the look on his face made my morning.
Every time I hear the name El'myamoto, my mind immediately does some Spanish guitar.
Tau have REALLY inconsistent feet. Throughout their lifetime, they've went back and forth between having 1 hoof like a horse or split hooves like a goat all willy-nilly.
Maybe different T’au have different hooves? Some people have longer/shorter toes, some have bigger/smaller toenails.
But comparing them to bovids… cows, goats, sheep, bison, etc. also don’t have identically styled hooves.
Hello everyone ! Name's Jacob, but everyone calls me doomstalker ! Nice to meet you.
Personally, for me it was the upgrade from 1st Edition to 2nd Edition. The update kits weren't cheap and frankly as just casual players me and my son didn't wanna drop that much on the upgrades, but all the new content was for the new edition. As a casual player they never really sold to me as a player WHY I should want to upgrade.
For those with painting anxiety.. it's just paint. You can remove it and do it again.
For folks that makes content, you you have another video where you show a cleaning process. And a redemption of the model video as well.
It's just paint, it's no biggie.
Xwing was the perfect game, but it got too heavy as it expanded. Which is the ultimate conundrum for game designers. They need to add more to make money and feed people's appetites, but hard to keep a system so clean.
dont reinvent the wheel, just make it out of better stuff
Mixing color schemes in your army is a big part of why I chose a Blood Angels successor chapter for my Marines army. That & taking some inspiration from the old Rogue Trader camo schemes, has let me fit four different styles of paint job into my army.
The thing that kind of killed X-Wing for me was the conversion kits. I had a good bit of Rebels, Empire and Scum and having to buy 3 different conversion kits was a bummer. Plus it was just a weird time in my life.
yeah i had no idea there was an app? i stopped playing because i didnt want to rebuy multiple convesion kits
oh em gee!!!! False advertising. Not the foot-gazing video I expected. So frustrated, right now!!!
2nd Edition rules for X-Wing were pretty great, but I also just sort of walked away from the game. Part of it was the fact that the community in my area was full of folks who endlessly complained about the parts of Star Wars they don't like and that was the only thing they'd talk about. Like half of the conversations would be people bashing the prequels and repeating the same old memes about how Disney Star Wars is no good and God I get sick of listening to that. Another aspect of it was that I think I just felt like I got everything out of X-Wing that I could. I played in tons of competitive matches and went to the World Open and had a blast. Shortly thereafter every game started to feel the same. It didn't feel like Star Wars anymore. It just felt like vanilla game mechanics and going through the motions. I felt like we'd mined its depths for any excitement that could be had.
I think the pandemic might have caused folks to move to a game where you can interact with the game when you're not playing it. That might be the problem with pre-painted miniature games. They just sit on the shelf when you're not using them. During the pandemic I definitely gravitated to games with a strong hobby aspect because that was how I could still escape into that hobby. Sure you can play X-Wing online with janky implementations but that is boring.
Battlefleet Gothic will forever be my favourit GW PC-Game... and the first release is even better than the newer release.
Tutorial for your grim dark white Templar/space marine armour please!
My local game store still runs tournaments of X-Wing, Legion, and Armada.
Foot fetish ppl gonna be all over this video 🤷♂️😂🐶
How about Navy Blue? That would be cool scheme for your Templars
I love your White (Black) Templars! Kudos to you for thinking outside the box, they remind me of the different colours specialist units from the same Legion can have in 30K.
well Jay.....guess that means ya need a new PC so you can play Space Marine 2.
I think for X-wing it's harder to grow a personal attachment to a model of a ship than a model of a person, which might one small reason why it's fallen off a bit
I understand feeling challenged by a model. I had to learn how to paint zebra stripes and leopard spots when I painted my Noise Marine.
Also, I believe Tau feet are inspired by camels.
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼❤️
Painting anxiety is whay I go trough every time I touch a mini. I've watched so many videos and have such high standards for myself that I can't let go and just ne fine with whatever comes out.
trade perfect for done
I'd love to see you tally up the amount and cost of ALL of your miniatures, for every game.
Second edition x-wing is super fun. It’s the best game IMO.
The reason x-wing has fallen off more than anything was that they had some odd choices in the order they reprinted old ships into 2.0 packs. Then, slap Covid and handing it off to amateur hour (AMG) and firing all the good devs…. Yeah.
I’m a long time xwing player and love second edition. I hate what AMG is doing.
Ive got three max squads of stingwings
As a tau player I was also a little let down by the new dark strider, but he’s cool I was hoping for maybe a cool helmet, I might need to pick him up
We now know where the "batteries not included" robots came from.
Thats Darkstrider not Farsight lol.
White Templars are a canon successor chapter
Nothing wrong with a T'au foot fetish lol
Did you see the space marine 2 trailer?
That title hits close to home since I just started painting my first pathfinder and got to the feet and could just not figure out what was going on. So many questions. Are they wearing boots? Socks? Are those hooves? How does the sock not cover the toes? Why does the heal toe look different than the other toes?
My head cannon is that the "hoof" is part of the suits not whay their actual anatomy looks like. Maybe the are short so its like a lift or platform shoe.
According to the official Tau models those are supposed to be hooves. It's just odd to me since you'd think a technologically advanced faction like the Tau would give their troops shoes.
have you painted the chibi minis yet?
A little bit of tonic will make Gin work.
OI! ITS DA SPESS MAHREENS, KRUMP EM
I wasn't sold on the suppressors at first either but the grew on me a little bit but man can they put out shots. Strong unit on the table
The hole problem with the everything being the same color is one of the reasons I like kroot
Sabine is an operative, so you’ll still have to take a commander in game unless you’re using house rules. The rebel specialists box comes with a generic commander and a few other support type personnel. The generic commander is by far the cheapest option for that slot, so that may be a route you want to explore.
is she really an operative? she comes with command cards
@@EonsOfBattle yeah, she is. If you look at her order token that came with the cardboard, it’s that double triangle thing not the winged triangle thing. She does have her own cards, explosions is awesome too, and she gets to use them as normal. When you play an operative’s command card you measure order range from that operative not your normal commander. Sabine works well with clan wren if you want more mandos and some more blunt force.
Tell the Astra Militarum they keep all the models around. R.I.P. Armageddon Steel Legion, Valhallan Ice Warriors, Elysian Drop-Troops, Vostroyan Firstborn, Mordian Iron Guard, etc... LOL
I swear, some years into the future, you will look back at your older videos as you do it now and say to yourself: "Did I really need to repeat this long ass intro, word to word, every single time? Heh, how silly I was."
Think again Jay playing against Tau will make the game horrible because u have to run into fucking towering SUITS OF ARMOR AND WEAPONS OF DEATH and gargantuan firelines coorinated with sattelite data.
I'd much prefer to play as an Eldar Ranger, with the game cumulating in a sniper duel with a Vindicator Assassin and 2 squads of Storm Troopers room clearing and assaulting the building in the style of "The Dark Knight!"
Jay, you chad. There's also a marine in dark red (not blood-red, just dark red) in Blanches Templars...
Also, nice work on getting into Legion, have you managed to try out the miniatures for Cyberpunk: Red at all? They look really cool, just Christmas spending means I can't get any this side of the year!
As someone who played X-wing till just before 2.0 I think what killed it is all the conversion kits. Most people didn't play just one faction, they just bought everything. Dont get me wrong there were people who did only buy one faction but most people I encountered publicly bought it all. The conversion kits were good on ffg for not invalidating your stuff but it gave people an easy out of the game. for me personally I was looking at $250 in conversion kits just to play my stuff. I wasn't playing as much because frankly the power creep was making the game absolutely unfun compared to what it was when I started back around wave 2.
I think they fixed most of the problems I had in 2.0, but as I said that $250 conversion cost gave me an easy out to just quit the game. Now it seems very much like a you pick 1-2 factions to play and thats all you play kind of game.
😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smiles.
Yup, you're right, sort of hooves, sort of toes - been doing Tau pedicures since 2005. Re: swarm of drones? Sounds like u got them confused with, like, Forge World rippers?
Their mistake with X-Wing was expecting people to buy boxes of cardboard for 50 bucks a pop to replace the cards and dials they'd already purchased with the ships. It literally killed interest in the game with everyone I knew. I still have all my 1st ed stuff though, and yes, it was an amazing game.
The issue with Jyn is that she's a decent support model in a faction that has much better specialists. Lando and Leia are better support commanders, Cassian is solid hunter with a nice cost efficient operative and Luke Skywalker and Sabine are the kind of characters who
Thing with X-wing is basically the company that took over FFG basically stripped out all the development staff of that company for the sake of selling it on. The folks that own Asmodas isn't interested in miniature games. They basically scalped the entire company to sell on as quickly as possible.
Yes, the X-Wing app was free, but you still needed to tell it how many of each conversion set you bought. If you had more of unit X than the conversion set had cards for, it would not let you put the other units in your list. Plug, I played the Empire and had just about every model. Then they came up with the First Order and carved my collection into two (each requiring their own conversion kit). Just couldn't justify the steep cost of conversion.
Pure app based rules are a mistake. Having a tangible, real thing in front of you will ALWAYS be better. Having to stare at the fucking phone all the time sucks ass.
All games should have both. I will update my books with post its, but I will not stare at a screen when I'm supposed to be engaging with a game and my friends.
Did you try steam's "new" proton magic for Space Marine? You might not be able to run the new game but I had a blast with the first on my linux machine without a dedicated GPU! Also great video, as always.
If only it were a new Commander Farsight. I do like the look of the new Darkstrider and I'm real anxious to see the codex.
Tau feet are the main thing holding me back from painting an army, just can't do it🤣🤣 also, been into 40k since '99 and always liked tau since tehy cane out but only noticed theur feet a year or so ago🤣
I have so many models that I’m “waiting to get better at painting” before I attempt to paint. It’s sad, I’m just not a great painter, I’ve been really trying but I just don’t get the clean blends and highlights like you jay! I’ll keep trying tho!!
I came for the Tau, but stayed for the drone fan fic
use han solo he is a beast
It's said Mee-ah-mo-to
It's a tribute to Miyamoto Musashi, possibly the greatest Japanese duelist and writer of 'The Book of Five Rings'.
To be more clear Relic developers where keen on making a sequel, but THQ went under and after that relic assets where eventually sold to Sega, the problem was that it appears despite them having the rights of space marine the game, GW allegedly has the IP since they appear to lease rather than sell their IP's. is still unclear on how GW manages their licences but I imagine some sort of deal was struck with both companies,I have high hopes for this game but let's wait and see the gameplay.
I'm also keeping and eye ok Chaosgate demon hunter which appears to be really good so far let's hope it is at the end.
Marines have edgy af names and stories and you think those are super cool, but then you pick on "darkstrider" like it's the most ridiculous thing gw made. That's discriminación man, leave our nicknames and hoofs alone
Those suppressors look AMAZING, you're motivating me to try more complicated basing.
Sabine Wren is a super cool mini, but she's just an Operative for some reason, so you'll need some chump to fill that mandatory Commander slot. Han Solo might be cool, but I hear his head sculpt is rough.
honestly the biggest reason i never got into x-wing which i'm sure this to other's a pro but i just never liked the fact the models were pre-painted. i didn't mind that they were pre-assembled but i would have loved the ability to paint them myself. i guess maybe you could strip the paint and do it yourself but idk if that'd risk damaging the models and such.
Maybe, Dark Stryder (sp?) references his artificial feet, giving him a faster or quieter move, for recon purposes?
Not timely, but the reason warhammer games get bad reviews isn't because of the setting, it's because most of them are shovel wear that rely on the setting to prop them up, space marine even falls under that category, no one would remember it if it wasn't a 40k game, it's decent, but it's not exactly a game that has a lot to offer people not into 40k, the combat is decent with a good flow, but for the casual gamer the game takes way to long to get decent, your stuck with pretty much nothing but the worst feeling melee in the game and a bolt pistol for about 30 minutes, or at least that's what it felt like, then you get a bog standard assault rifle to spice things up, by the time you have anything interesting going on people will have quit the game, if you don't capture people's intrest in the first few hours, particularly on steam where reviews are easiest to make for people they will leave a bad review, and return it
Wait you're telling me that Shigeru Miyamoto, the Nintendo dude, the Mario man, the guy who wants to play, isn't Japanese and is blue?
I hate Star Wars, BUT the space ships in it have always been cool. I never played x wing, but it sounds rad.
An obsession with feet. Been watching too much Adeptus Ridiculous? Getting a little Doge Vandire there.
The main problem with the x-wing app is that it wasn't updatef punctually so people ended up consulting pdfs or 3rd party apps.
For me tau always had feet like the Sangheili/ Élites from Halo this one looks that had the fingers covered with a shoe...
Or actually had goat feet
"Wasp waisted " hahaha I don't know why that was so funny I've never heard that description before but i knew exactly what he meant so it works
I think X-Wing has fallen into a trap of needing/expecting constant new releases. Does it really? Maybe on the business model side, maintaining churn, but the game could function just fine as a mostly unchanging strategy board game as opposed to a living wargame with a constantly shifting 'new stuff' meta.
2nd Ed. was sorely needed, to consolidate the layers of patches and errata and retroactive rules that was holding it all together like duct tape, but yeah, something about its very existence broke the scene.
There's a tactile joy to handling cards and components and tokens that you can't get from an app. For a while my 2nd Ed. workaround was to have a little sticker with the point cost in the card sleeve corner.
7 factions. You missed the Disney era stuff, Resistance and First Order.
Now THIS is quality content
making mistakes have taught me a lot. for example, i now use (any) white paint to correct my mistakes and return later with the exact color i intended.
i collected the micromaschines Space ships from starwars when i was a kid. They look very familiar and the same size as the Xwing models
Honestly with the White suppressors I think it works awesome! They are like angels of death flying above the battle
Based on the title all I can think of is "Chowdah this Tau fussy got me questioning my loyalty to the imperium of Man"
Jay
Try Shapeways they have a group called pop goes the monkey. He produces a ton of shoulder symbols to use.
The Black Armor problem is why I'm a big fan of red Techmarine armor and blue Psyker armor in my Iron Hands army
I'm going to say they probably messed up the feet. but they'll probably say it something to do with his cast or something.
Tired of Star Wars? Yeah a bit, the Marvel treatment is not what Star Wars needed and/or deserved!
Legion is a great game ruined by Star Wars. Add that game system to something else, and I'd be down.
Oh please dude your an expert painter you don't have to worry about your paint job. I on the other hand as a 5 or 6 month noob oh yah I should worry.
the best 40k game (and the one which showed the world the best) is "mechanicus"
Honestly i think x wing died cuz the new starwars movies were sooooooo bad it killed the game
I think space marine 2 comes to console do maybe have a ps 5 or xbox s or x then you should still be set good to play it
APPs are a nono for me like E-Books for such games. I rather pay more than use it.
Read the title of the video and was curious.
Was not disappointed. XD
I felt that tired "how?!" a little too much... I'm gonna go lay down.
The different How's crack me up every time
Yes I have painting anxiety, would be a good vid cheers. For me it's usually about not wanting to waste my time if I mess up as I have so little of it.
Space marine flopped because it came out. Week before gears of war 3
