“…What about the engines? Nah, TNT mate.” This was such a fun battle report, great to see new Tau in action and as always you guys are obviously having a lot fun which makes it all the better
The extended gag reel of organic goofs at the end of the video is precious, and definitely a great inclusion. Would highly recommend continuing in that vein.
Many things have changed. Combat Tau have not. Thank you Chef for reminding us that Tau should continue to avoid hand to hand combat whenever possible!
The sheer evil giddiness on Chef’s face during the T’au shooting phase was just priceless. His original faction is back with a vengeance, and he’s loving it. X3
Man, watching them play and interact with each other released a few snorts of laughter. Well, more than a few. Keep up the great work and never give up on the Tau Commander's dream of being the John Cena of Melee fighters!
I thought we were going to call him ‘the Gent’ because he’s the most polite player even when getting blasted and chopped off the battlefield. Also whenever he plays astra militarum he defaults to the ‘tally-ho’ voice.
"Target acquired - launching atta-" "HOLD UP THERE SHAS'UI!" "...Commander?" "I think this little gue'la is hungry for some PERSONAL COMBAT!" "...Commander I don't think this is a good ide-" "I HAVE the Onager gauntlet Shas'ui. He's as good as dead" "...as you say commander, I'm sure this couldn't go wr-" *SMASHING SOUND* "... I wish I was fighting Orks"
Finally! This is the first time in about a year that I have seen a tau Army win a battle report. Good job guys! You two are excellent gentlemen and paragons of the craft!
45:10 the thermoneutronic projector doesn’t auto-hit. It might replace a flamer and have similar general stats but it doesn’t have the same special rules.
Love the straight charge lane to the chaplain thr commander had between the suits and breachers, I could just imagine then cheering at their commander with the gauntlet: "charge him! Charge him! Punch him! Finish him off!"
I am fairly happy with everything I see here with tau. The only change I would make is passing mortal wounds when you overheat or whatever go drones. I think those should always apply to the model to make it more of a real decision to make.great game
Just played a game with a mellee enforcer commander. Gave him the gauntlet and the mellee flamer and boy oh boy is he scary now! -1dmg 2+ sv 4++ invuln is no joke!
Looking up Tau stuff for my new Armies and this is the first Batrep that I found of the new codex and I gotta say this was a ton of fun to watch! You guys are bringing a great Energy and Vibe to the Table which made this a great time to watch and listent to and the Production quality is great as well! Definitely gonna go watch some older Batreps now! :D
Watching your video on the codex and seeing this battle report has probably been the most excited I have been in my time playing Warhammer! The T'au seem to be perfect for my love of a close-range yet shooting army which Mont'ka can take to the next level. I can't wait to get my hands on the new rules for them to try out. Also, lots of love to everyone at Tabletop Tactics. The work you do in entertaining and informing not just me but also the entire 40k community is great. Keep it up you bosses! P.S. Especially you Beard, love you man!
My favorite unit and the one that got me into warhammer is the broadside, and i was hoping to see them in action, but seeing the ghostkeel is nice though!
The Broadsides are also one of my favorite units. I just love how the rail rifles look way to big for them. Similarly, the Stormsurge is one of my favorite models in all of 40K. I can't wait to see some big knight or something get absolutely Bork’d when it wanders within 24 inches.
@@MrDreyven Are we talking about railsides or missilesides? Either way, I've wanted to use Shadowsun, but I don't want to lock myself into Tau sept or Kau'yon, so I haven't really gone down that route yet.
@@sirbaconbusterr Railsides, missilesides are a big bad probably. Due to shadowsun being a supreme commander you can easily run her even without Tau sept and you don't HAVE to Kau'yon. Montka is probably still better, you still get 1 redeploy which is nice.
Phenomenal battle report chaps. Soooooo beyond excited to see the T'au in a fun place. Loads of movement, plenty of shooting and what?!?! Melee!?!? Greater good man!!! I am excited!!! Also, 10/10 production value, this was a delight to watch, I will absolutely be digging in for more.
I am mega hyped for this. I started the hobby last March with Tau so seeing them finally be more than hiding in a corner is exciting. The Stormsurge is one of my favorite models in the game, so I'm super stoked to not be handicapping myself so much to bring that.
Don't play 40K but seeing these grown-ass men being genuinely excited and making pew-pew sounds and shooting gestures everytime something coolsome is just the most wholesome thing I've seen on the internet in 2023
Hey could you put the subfaction/chapter bonus into the army list cover instead of the warlord trait? You tell the wlt afterwards anyway and got more than one allot of times.
The painting on both side is very beautiful for the close view on the figs. But on the overall view we have grey team vs dark red/black team fighting on a mainly grey battlefield (with the ruins and the rocks), on a small screen it's difficult to see what's going on here 😅
Wow these Tau are georgeous. Good batrep and atmosphere as always. Plus it makes me practice my english to listen to you guys! Speaking about voices, James reminds me of a mad stir between King Neptune from Sponge Bob or Douglas Reynholm from the IT crowd. A matter to remember for a nickname? ^^
What I’ve taken from this game is that T’au are genuinely interesting now, and can actually play the game - their incredible firepower is honestly balanced by the bad BS and minimal impact in other phases. And that Eradicators are still a mistake
Having now played vs Tau, they are not balanced. Marker lights are easy to get and they just delete anything they look at. I expect difficult times followed by points increases.
@@rcmwalker1987 Agreed. Crisis suits can stack tons of buffs and are too cheap for their improved profile T5 W4 3+ save lots of weapons and a free utility hardpoint.
Custodes is still one of the worst matches for tau, good movement with certain units, access to advance and charge, access to -1 to hit, transhuman, turn off re-rolls, make them very durable against Tau high strength, re roll hungry, shooting.
What i just seen was the equivalent of a MMA cage fighter vs a mannequin, Thanks for the bat rep lads keep it up, Chief owes James a pint after that for sure
What a great battle report as always tabletop tactics! Much love to you all. I'll defo be getting prepend to run my own diverse T'au list sometime this year. Still lots of painting needed and a few new models to purchase. But I'm all for it! You guys look like you had such fun. With James In all honesty being a great new edition to the team! BUUUT btw what ever happened me Mr B Bone? Maybe I missed a video or a post about it but he seems to be missing from all recent material. I miss him greatly. If you could update me that would be great!? Again love the channe and love T'au so I will always return regardless. But just wondering. Take care all and can't wait for your next T'au battle report. Goooooooo tabletop tactics!!! P.s Lawrence's editing was most glorious and entertaining. Kudos my man haha
@@thepastrychef8014 ahhh well that is a shame. But I wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Also my apologies for giving the credit to the wrong dude! CHEF your editing was totally on point, I enjoyed it greatly. Also love that your back playing the T'au. It was very inspirational in getting my army back onto the painting table! Alot of dust to remove first 😂.
I noticed in the description and army preview for the Tau that the ghostkeels stealth drones weren't mentioned. Are they baked into the new datasheet or are they separate. If they are separate, does that mean the shielded missile drones for the riptide are also separate?
When chef rolled the one on that railgun 😂😂😂😂😂 welcome to 40K ladies and gentlemen no matter how good or bad something is the dice will have the last word lol
I love the idea of Kau'yon, but I have no idea how it'd be implemented. Probably hit hard early anyhow, and simply have more punch late game with whatever makes it.. but games seem to end before it kicks in! Also I don't have room for Hammerheads, need more mechas.
I guess you'd have to try and play fairly defensive and then try burst out the blocks late game. That strat to remove 3 Devilfish and let them come on next turn as Reinforcements is super cool but... How many are actually making it to turn 3? It's a strange one for sure!
@@FarseerB1rdy I think the Devilfish are good, but still starting on the board, I'm not sure. Of course it kind of is free, and Breachers with exploding hits would be funny. Now that warlord trait, that does feel nice. Pick up and redeploy 3 units? Or just 1 if I do need to Mont'ka for the mission? Think I'll keep a Fireblade with that and the Neurochip around..
I think Kau‘yon is just a good pick if you go first as then you get the benefits right after the enemies turn 2, perfect timing for most of it. If you lost the role off and go second, Mont‘ka will imo always be better as Kau’yon would kick in too late, while Mont‘ka benefits from the enemies moving first into no man‘s land in round 1. Imo Kau’yon will only be used in all comers armies, building for it will fail and only be done for Mont‘ka. I would also guess that many tournaments armies will try to go for a Mont‘ka build as tournaments have a habit to favor the aggressive player. So generally: if you know that the enemy army is not a turn 1 charger and you go first, Kau’yon may be a good pick as it gives you the ability to react to the enemy‘s turn 2 and take the game home from there. If you go second you probably will favor Mont’ka for retaliation in your turn 1 as you‘re behind on alpha strike. There may also be some play against certain armies (i.e. GSC coming from deep strike in mass in turn 2), could be that Kau’yon is more favorable against such an enemy as you may not get a lot to do in turn 1, where Mont’ka is strongest. But the nice thing is: sou get to choose after roll off, so you can play around with going first/second and what to use. Imo that may be the real strength, being able to adapt to the situation at hand instead of having to adhere to a pre-built strategy.
The maiden voyage of the hammerhead. A destructive force not to be reckoned with. *Rolls a 1 to wound* Missed it by that much. The blessing of the emperor was with that ATV.
“…What about the engines? Nah, TNT mate.”
This was such a fun battle report, great to see new Tau in action and as always you guys are obviously having a lot fun which makes it all the better
Oh lord, the paint job on this T'au army is SUBLIME. The camo pattern is just incredible. Great job on these!
It's Siege Studio's scheme. I wish they released how they did it
Actually we did these in house - it’s not Siege this time. We are planning a painting tutorial for them in the future :)

Firstly, “The Bard”. Suits your personality, mate, and your role as an entertainer. It’s good. 👌🏻
I mean in true bard fashion he uses smitten rather than smote. The latter means be hit/struck. The prior means something entirely different
@@paulvenables2628 It is "The beard", like it's "The Spider", or at least interchangeable. He calls himself the beard

Explains so much
It's all deceit, he's Drukhari after all!

New model syndrome
Too be fair he would have been hreat against anything that wasnt the chaplain
T'au Shas'O Zapp Bra'Nagan, at your service!
I like this new guy- the Bard! He has got good energy and seems genuinely happy with what is happening in the games.
Those explosions! Holy hell, Tau got better at killing... themselves! 🤣 Tau Nick is going to be super happy now!
My thoughts exactly! 🤣

Love the paint scheme here how did you do the Camo patterns so well? Stencils?
I thought we were going to call him ‘the Gent’ because he’s the most polite player even when getting blasted and chopped off the battlefield. Also whenever he plays astra militarum he defaults to the ‘tally-ho’ voice.
Also the hand behind the back when he rolls - very Edwardian
Me likey
Keep the bloopers trending. It works for this channel
Good fun game. Thank you chef for not killing the Chaplain with the ghostkeel because you wanted to charge him. Very funny

Love the straight charge lane to the chaplain thr commander had between the suits and breachers, I could just imagine then cheering at their commander with the gauntlet: "charge him! Charge him! Punch him! Finish him off!"

so happy Tau are getting the love!
Never seen Chef have so much "this is bonkers ridiculous fun" with an army.
the paint job on those space marine's are amazing! so much detail an d personality
I like to imagine that White Scars and some of their successor chapters have their Chaplains throat-sing their litanies.
Of course

Really like the greyish/white tau color scheme . Any Links for further pics or even a tutorial?
It was commissioned by Fletcher, check out his work on Instagram @fletchers_painting
Wow these Tau are georgeous. Good batrep and atmosphere as always. Plus it makes me practice my english to listen to you guys!

Your codex write up on the website is fantastic chef 👨🍳 👍🏻 great job man.

Yay, you got that Crisis can take 3 weapons and a support system correct unlike near everyone else. The additional firepower adds up.
They're very good now, at last!
What I’ve taken from this game is that T’au are genuinely interesting now, and can actually play the game - their incredible firepower is honestly balanced by the bad BS and minimal impact in other phases.
And that Eradicators are still a mistake
Having now played vs Tau, they are not balanced. Marker lights are easy to get and they just delete anything they look at. I expect difficult times followed by points increases.
@@rcmwalker1987 Agreed. Crisis suits can stack tons of buffs and are too cheap for their improved profile T5 W4 3+ save lots of weapons and a free utility hardpoint.
Fun report with good energy - looks like the Hammerhead had a case of stage fright with its wound roll
I'd be nervous too if I had the Wrath of the Internet watching my every move 😅
dat combat Tau though :D great match. Spiders cameo was fun
He tried his best haha
In the list intro, when Chef was talking excitedly about showing off the devilfishies, I already knew that wasn't going to happen...
😅
very nice bat rep! Tau are looking awesome! can't wait to give my battlesuits a spin!
Chef: T'au have a new codex! And now they're finally good again!
Chef's dice: We'll see about that.
Custodes get new codex..
Custodes: Yay we're having so much fun finally!
Tau: Eerm, I'm gonna have to put a stop to that...
Not many other people had fun against custodes XD
Custodes is still one of the worst matches for tau, good movement with certain units, access to advance and charge, access to -1 to hit, transhuman, turn off re-rolls, make them very durable against Tau high strength, re roll hungry, shooting.

I mean, there's a text limit and they come with them standard. We don't put in Grenades either for what its worth 😅
When chef rolled the one on that railgun 😂😂😂😂😂 welcome to 40K ladies and gentlemen no matter how good or bad something is the dice will have the last word lol

A bit yes, it's one of the better traits around imo
I adore this tau colour scheme. What was the process/colours done? :O
