Did you know that the harbinger drones take metallurgy
And that Nobz in mega armor have a bonus against daemons (aka your Krootox)
Trick from a Kau yeet main: place yor leaping hounds behind the FW. Someone will always try to tie them up and then they get intercepted with the knockback leap without needing to micro on time.
thanks for the in depth guide dude. I just wish I could see more Tau winning instead of losing in all the replays I watch on youtube
I'll cast more games of Tau winning :)
XV88 from Dark Crusade made me collect actual minis, still Got my og DoW Antology disc as well as an XV8 mini kitbashed into XV88 from the game. So glad to see this breakdown, love the channel
@@Igrzu-san Thank you my dude!
It's weird because Tau is considered top tier throughout Dark Crusade and well into Soulstorm and yet I see them lose a disproportionate amount of games. I think part of the issue is that the skill ceiling is very high so an expert with Tau can feel oppressive but otherwise your squads are just tied up all the time or running away trying to get positioning. Also doesn't help that if I remember correctly they are hardcountered by Necron wraith and Necron was the other "top tier" in Dark Crusade.
Recently got back into this game, thanks for making these videos
Both fun and useful. Thanks, mate! Looking forward to some casts ;D
When I first bought Dark Crusade many years ago I remember Tou being my favourite race ~ I still have the OG box and cds to this day
Glad to hear it!
The Landshark clip 😂
Tau breakdown? I thought all you neеd to breakdown the Tau is melee...
TRUTH
I NEED MORE OF THESE GUIDES
YOU WILL GET MORE OF THESE GUIDES
@@jagusartIT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS DO YOUR PART FOR THE IMPERIUM AND PUMP THESE GUIDES OUT.
Great video. Would love to see more for each race!
Hey Jagus, cool video, I can tell you have been putting a lot of time and effort into it. Great job
I would personally prefer more matchup based guides, but I understand the limited time you have, and the video is great regardless
That's a good idea and you can expect a series like that to pop up in the future!
Hey, I really appreciate what you do, can't wait for more of these.
Thanks bud, appreciate it!
great vid a lot of time went into this one and it shows
🥲🥲🥲❤❤ Appreciate it!!!
Thanks a lot mate, there were a couple things I didn't even know about. Gonna play a bit Tau now lol. Would love to see Chaos breakdown next.
Thanks man!!!
kauyon is best but all you need their ability to increase pop. the key to tau is the aircraft and the drone layer, thats it. all the other units can be mixed anyway.
Poor drone squads get no love. Their whack-A-mole ability is underappreciated. They also explode, causing knockback and damage, when they die.
I really hope you are still going to do this! It was really good.
Guard next pls!
Yes, guard next
Guard is next :)
@@jagusart yey
When talking about Crisis Suit Flamer upgrade, you didn't mention how effective they are against buildings.
I didn't realize they were effective against buildings too 😂
Best DoW Tau Breakdown on YT, this helps my fellow nooblings.
Did you voice this while doing the editing?😅
I did all the recording first, then edited on top of that. It was a nightmare...
great race breakdown! are you planing to do this for the other races too?
Cap, it's not brainwashing, just accept the fact that the Greater Good is above all
Lol.
Nice one.
What a shame Tau don't have a buildable turret but would depend on the Unit itself as thee Turrets
I know this is eight months old, and I know that this isn't really a big deal, but it is a pet peeve of mine and if nothing else mentioning it is cathartic; "kroot" is both singular and plural. They're not referring to themselves in the third person when they say "Kroot stand with you" or anything like that.
My favorite thing to do on main headquarters when I got bored was to make an army of gun drones and just mob everything. Definitely not an efficient strat in multiplayer though as matches are not long enough to really get your economy high enough to spam the little guys.
You'd be surprised xD
Loved it bro, Chaos is next or whaaa ?😉
Nah bro your favourite - IG ;)
thanks for the guide, just trying to get better with Tau now as luck would have it. do you plan on other unit/building breakdown vids for the other races? Thanks again!
Plans are there, just gotta do more research first so it sounds like I know what I'm talking about 😂
Right on! Can't wait! 👍
Hey cool channel, I just found it randomly searching up some tips for DoW Soulstorm. Does this game still have an active multiplayer community? And would that be just for the base game, or does everyone play the mods? I quite like just the base game. Cheers
Hey! This game is still fairly active in the vanilla community. More people play vanilla than the mods. I would recommend joining either the DoW SS UK server or Mr Landshark's server on Discord if you want to find some dedicated players to play with. Feel free to message me on Discord (username in my bio) for more info
@@jagusart Awesome I'll check em out after I beat the campaign lol. BTW do you have a Space Marine race breakdown vid?
@@iiJDSii None for SM yet, I just have a Build Orders guide for them but stick around and you might see me make one in the future :)

Kauyon is simply the better option
Advanced optics and metallurgy are just too valuable, and Montka doesn't offer anything to rival them
Can you make for the other races? :D
How do you see the effective range circles? Is there a way to lerp them up all the time?
With the squad selected, press "A" 🙂
@jagusart I figured it was attacking command. I was hoping there was a way to toggle it on Fulltime though. Maybe there's a mod for it
13:45 what mod did you mention?
Camera mod add-on - allows you to zoom the camera out further
Is this useful for the ultimate apocalypse mod?
Can't guarantee it, I'm not familiar with how much Tau have changed in that mod
Vaguely in that all the units have similar roles, but they are fairly different. This is very helpful for tau in the unification mod however.
Are any mods used here?
Just the camera mod is used for this video
For the Algorithm!
