Xpwn3ntial Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hello, all. I have a collection of Tau Empire-themed cards here and I was wondering what you, the community, thinks of them. Please be merciful, this is my first attempt and finding pictures for some of the units got [i]really[/i] difficult. If I get enough reactions, I'll move on to the Imperial Guard next. Disclaimer- I own absolutely none of the pictures used to make these things.

Flip it face up and look at it without activating its effect, then place it back in face down position. When this card is targeted for an attack, flip a coin. If heads, proceed normally. If tails, reduce the ATK of the attacking monster by 500. When this card is destroyed, flip a coin. If heads, no monster with "Tau" in the name may attack next turn and are changed to defense position. If tails, Increase the ATK of all specified monsters by 1000 points for your next turn.[/spoiler] [center][img]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9549/423193p.jpg[/img][/center] [spoiler=Lore]When this card is targeted for an attack, flip a coin.

Great Unclean One: VK Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Tau = Anime Anime = Weaboo if your not Japanese Thus Tau = Space Weaboo Communists with awesome BS but horrid WS. I never played Tau but I play Nids. Nids with the SwarmLord with 3 Tyrant Guards with Lashwhips that lowers your I to 1 so I can instant kill you and 40 Genestealers with Toxin Sacs (4+) and AG that goes on the table side that I want. Why? Swarm Lord's Hive Commander. Supported by 9 Hive Guards, each with 2 Strength 8 AP 4 shots that ignores Cover saves and line of sight. Of course, that's 1800 points. In Apolcaylpse this tactic is increased. Anyhow you play Tau? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Battlesuits are large robots, but Eldar are way closer to being weeaboo than that (space ninjas, howling banshee katanas, Eldar "robots" actually do become giant as opposed to large, various spirits within random things). I guess I'll never know. Those Tyranids sound scary. Yeah, I'm just getting into Tau. I usually play Space Marines but I thought they get plenty of attention.

Great Unclean One: VK Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Battlesuits = Large Robots Tau. Their codex is coming soon. GW soon, not regular soon. So your in for a long wait. But upside Ward ain't writing your Dex. So your safe. Unlike Necrons. Their now a Empire that they killed most C'tans (Their GODS) and enslaved them. But dear god, their units are sick. 11 points for a jump pack unit that have WBB and pistol range weapon that forces you to do some sort of test (toughness or strength, I can't remember) and if you fail, instant death. Anyhow, then again. I've heard the Sisters of Battle (MINE, MINE!) are before Tau though..... [spoiler= Rant/Lesson about Nids from what I learned] But Nids are one of the hardest armies to play. Why? We're so different. Unlike Spess marines we focus not on a single tactic or unit, but synergy. You know? What Steve Jobs couldn't do? Look at our TermaGaunts for example. Basic Gun: 12 inches range, ST 4 AP 5 Assault 1. Pistol rigt? Now we can have 20 of them a turn (Spawn these guys are turn) in addition to DevilGaunts and use them to give them a 4+ cover save and then assault you. Gun: 18 Inches ST 4 Assault 3. In a full brood, that's 90 ST 4 shots. We don't wound on 1st or 2nd try, but we focus on making you fail your saves. Another is the Tervigon. A pregnant Fex that spews out Termis everyturn and buffs them with Poison (4+) and gains Furious Charge with Feel No Pain. We combine those. Not only that but we also give you Perils of the Warp on 3D6. Now in addition to that we have Trygon Primes. Deep Striking Monstourous Creatures that makes all psychics in 12 inches face Shadow of the Warp. Also, beware the Genestealers. They are your worse nightmares. Sure, 1 wound but dear god, they tear Land Raiders, Marines, and nearly everything apart.... We suck overall but thing is, higher point games are our domains. Our titans are the cheapest and can take down the strongest ones in the games. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpwn3ntial Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Oh, thank the Emperor that Ward isn't writing the new Codex. I saw what he did to the Grey Knights. You like Sisters? I have a friend who absolutely hates them. You know, Faith and all. I guess that's why you probably like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 No, I like them since their cute and sexy...... At least the anime versions.... But the faith thing I have no idea but I'm willing to learn. But get some green stuff and bam. Cute and hot Sisters. With bigger busts no less. Anyhow, done fixing those cards? Also, let's take the 40k talk to PM before I get in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpwn3ntial Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well, at the bottom of the OP there's a spoiler filled with edited units. Except the Hammerhead, I can't open that one for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
