Space Marine Vs Tau
- The Tau (Imperial binomial classification: Tau tau), known in their own language as the T'au, are a young, humanoid and technologically-advanced intelligent race native to the Eastern Fringes of the Milky Way Galaxy who are fighting to expand their interstellar empire and extend a philosophical.
- Hey Im playing a tau player soon with my Salamander space marines, any tactics or suggestions? Meltas are the best weapon against a tau players tanks. His vehicles, while they can shoot like fast vehicles, are limited to 12' movement (excluding their piranhas) which really hurts the tau player.
So, I don't get Soulstorm. It seems to have three modes that call themselves 'Easy', 'Normal', and 'Hard' that actually are 'Ridiculously Easy', 'Very Easy', and 'Almost Impossible'.I'm playing Tau versus Orks, and the Orks on Hard mode just.swarm and win every time. I've tried every strategy I can think of, but I just can't get over the numbers. They get out their leader, suddenly have a ton of troops out, while I either have a few Kroot or Fire Teams unreinforced and some scouts.I've tried Scouts and Vespids with Jump to get past the hordes, but while the Scouts stay stealthed, the Vespides just get shredded anywhere near Ork buildings.What am I doing wrong?
I can't seem to get any amount of firepower to rush the AI to get even a bit of breathing space. Re: Soulstorm Hard mode - Tau vs. Orks.wtf?The only advice I can really give, is hurry to building your Path of Enlightenment as fast as you can, and when you get attacked start cranking out the Broadside Battlesuits and entrench them the moment they're built. The broadsides will die, but if you even have a token amount of an army there as well they'll take out a hell of a lot before they do so.That's basically my strategy for defending my base if I get surprised as the Tau, Broadsides all the way. I tried this in a 2-player Soulstorm skirmish against a Hard AI Ork player.
Here's the basic strat:Builder starts building a barracks, main base builds 2 stealth teams and a second builderThe stealth teams immediately cap points but aren't immediately reinforced. The second builder joins the first on the barracks and then both work on plasma generators.The teams keep capping points, I put a listening post on the nearest point while waiting for the 225 energy to build up.
We have an assault based Space Marine army going up against Frankie and his brutal Tau list. Lets see who comes out on top. Make sure to tune in at 7:00 PM PST to our Twitch channel. We will also be giving away one of our new ITC Terrain Series Urban L Buildings, so make sure to tune in and win!
Once it does, I build Path to Enlightenment.The Ork AI rushes with his warmaster, which can see stealth. He mangles a now-reinforced Stealth Team before i get it away and then rushes the base. I get Kroot out to slow him down while the Path to Enlightenment gets built, I get a Broadside Battlesuit out, which barely keeps the his boss unit off and now added other orks off. But while that's happened, the ork AI has taken the great majority of the map.Second rush decimates me, and end of game.
Re: Soulstorm Hard mode - Tau vs. Orks.wtf?My basic strategy is this:Build barracks with my first builder and queue up 2 stealth teams and a second builder.Stealth go capture nearby strat points.
Second builder does a plasma generator.The minute the barracks is done queue 1 squad of fire warriors and one of kroot.You've now got a force that can drive off a Big Mek, and now you wait and Listening Post some of your strat points and build a second plasma generator, then get the Path of Enlightenment.One thing, at no point until you've got your Fire Warriors and Kroot should you be reinforcing your squads, and even after that point it's somewhat dodgy. Men on the ground are very important, for precisely the reason you're encountering.This should work in the campaign, but I mostly play skirmishes on Hardest difficulty with a reasonably high win-rate. Re: Soulstorm Hard mode - Tau vs. Orks.wtf?Don't build 2 stealth teams, build only 1. Then start building listening posts - get jetpack upgrade so that stealth teams can cap faster. Also, don't focus on getting broadsides - they have 4s reload time and take ages to entrench.
Instead, try to get kroots and firewarriors first - you dont need vespids since there are no infiltrators for orks. Also, get stealthsuit burst cannon upgrade - it increases damage from stealthsuit by 3 times.However, if they rush slugga boys and a big mek, take tau commander first, and get vespids as well - place a snare trap in front of the base, and then once they come, sonic pulse the slugga rush, then target-acquired the big mek and keep firing. Your fire warriors will mince the sluggas.
Rumus pythagoras matematika. Keep the earth caste builders at the back because they are really vulnerable to attack. Dont build plasma generators too close to the front either.sometimes, of course, there are 2 exits. When that happens, just place kroots at both ends, reinforce them, take fire warriors, and use vespids to fly everywhere and help out, as well as the stealthsuits. Path of enlightenment should only be build after you hold off the first rush - by that time you should have enough req and power.hope this helped!'

Works goes apace raising a fully painted armyScouts spread out while the Rhino hides in terrainPat's opening move was very aggresive, pushing up midfieldA bold drop led to a scatter that gave Pat the opportunity to put my Marines out of the gameLovely luck. I can't seem to savePromptly losing more MarinesKept my Fire Raptor to the side to avoid Skyfire which was on his table halfSlowly but surely, I was losing the attrition gameIn a desperate gamble, I moved the Fire Raptor up his half to attempt to kill off a unit of SuitsI lost.again. Hmmm, this list may require a lot more work. Assault elements maybe?I need to continue testing it to confirm but right now I am leaning to a rewrite.Keith then asked me for a Malifaux game. The last time I tried this I just learned it. This would be the 2nd time I play the game.The card mechanic is really quite unique.
It was a 35 Soulstone game between Misaki of the Ten Thunders vs Kirai of the Ressurectionists.While I lost the game, it was a really fun game!I went back and repainted my Shang while adding more yellow to my Master and her HenchmanLove the models! They are actually true scale. This blog will serve as our community blog.
