I do but I can't make a good color for them that I like :bigeye:

[Archon]

I'll post some colors of them.And for chaos too.

[Nid]

I used to use Tau, they suck early game though, so I have swayed to the ruinous powers of chaos.
not on TT though
Chaos Badge and Banner and scheme go to some guy off filefront, can't remember his name, but I had to download his army, with the name like that (They who F*ck up your Christmas) XD
Credits to the custom Tau skins go to the guys at Skins@HiveWorldTerra, brilliant skin site, hunt them down and check them out.

PS, Killer, Nice job

So, heres a few bulk shots;

Tau sucks early game?What about tau commander,fire warriors,kroots and great stealth suits?My best race in DoW definitly tau.Second are chaos.
Good scheme for chaos.

[Nid]

Steath suits as scouts? that cost 85 req each? and do the equivalent gamage of a guardsman with a really hot lasgun?
they're the only units that can cap points while you begin to build your base, the Tau mod had a better idea, Pathfinders as Scouts.
Plus they're a really expensive race.

The Tau are one of my most favorite factions, mabye I just like the cool Kroots and stuff

[Archon]

Stealth suits has many good things.Capture/uncapture enemy points,jetpacks,stealth.Late game have use to destroy vehicles and becomes very powerfyl with all upgrades.I didnt play tau mod cuz I dont have winter assault.

[Nid]

Don't get me wrong, the tau are good in their own ways, predictable, ranged. Aye, stealth suits are not entirely useless, but when it's early game, and you're scrambling to gain resources before the other player rushes to your door with a couple of their basic infantry squads, it kinda does you in when you are trying to re-enforce your scouts to help hold off the attack, at 85 req each, it really damages your economy, plus they do very little damage for what they should be, they have burst cannons for God's sake, and they're in XV suits, they should be elite infantry. Plus to get them to jump, you need to research the jet boosters. They were just toally the wrong choice for scouts.

And then when you get the Tau barracks, your fire-warror squad, basic infantry, costs you 210 req each, and then another 70 for each additional member? They should have nerfed the FW unit before release, dropped the price, and increased the starting squad to 4, and the max squad to 7 or 8 or something.
They might hang around longer then, and cost a little less to get onto the battlefield.

2 races that you should never let turtle: IG and Tau....

Both of them are weak early ingame but if they tech fast enuff there's nothing that can stop em....I mean Tau have the Hammerheads and Greater Knarloc (basically Hammerheads disrupt infantry whilst the Knarloc pwns the vehicles) and the IG have the Baneblade which is basically same as the combo from above....

[Archon]

Well my opinion is that fire warriors is strongest basic inf squad.With or without upgrades.No spc marines,no guardsmens,no reapers(ok only cron warriors are strong but need time to train in the beginning).And imagine FW's with all upgrades:range/armor,full squad,damage.Definitlly best.And to prevent rush of basic enemy inf just train 1 squad of kroots.
Anyway every race have their own unique units and abbilities and also different strategies.
Tau and IG are not that weak in early game.Tau have kroots and FW's and IG strong command squad.Guardsmens are quite weak than other inf but they are superior in numbers.

And to add to that; It's not hard to get, at the least, 5 fully renforced squads out for IG early game. And Granade Launchers for them can make a mess of range based infantry. And thankfully, Commissars are avilable early, incase you start having major moral issues.

[TehKiller]

its not that hard to get 5 fully reinforced squads if ure playing quick start....on regular ress settings u cant even get 3 fully reinforced squads without a bankrupt (also whats the point if their morale is dead after 2 secs of fighting) and as for the IG commander....u do know that without all of his 5 squad members the command squad is a useless 450 hp commisar that cant attach to a squad


now for the Tau...Fire Teams are useless if they dont have some sort of long line of sight unit with em....otherwise they get easily overrun even by Guardsmen and the Kroot cant even withstand a one-on-one battle with any fully reinforced melee unit

[Archon]

You are right.If you use regular settings you cant train 5 squads.Need caping points.And for tau.I dont think that guardsmen squad can beat FW's.Maybe upgraded.But in the beginning vespids are must have.Thet and kroots can be good cover for FW's and tau commander.

Only if you turtle, if your aggressive and capture points like mad you can do it. Which is what I do.
The hard part is holding all those points.

[TehKiller]

however u cant capture more then 3 points and gather enuff req in a matter of 2 minutes....you can even easily end up being camped by the eldar at the gates of your base....hell even if you manage a miracle and cap 5-6 point still you wouldnt have enuff money

[Lizzie]

Are you talking just standard points or all kinds, because critical points and relics give out req like candy. Also take into account that guard can garrison their listening posts so if it comes down to needing to tank that can be done.

[Sgt. Nuker]

If you guys wish to discuss WH40k please do so in another thread. This thread is meant for posting your custom armies only .

my statment still stands....you cant do it in 5 mins (Relics and Crit's also capture 3x times slower and u cant build listen points cuz you again wouldnt have any req for a bunch of CP's nor the manpower to hold all the points to get the fortified


@ Nuker: Im too lazy to make a new thread and there isnt any other DoW thread to post in unless im gonna necro a oldie

[AllStarZ]

I made a Gue'vasa Auxiliaries Army Paint (simple to do), but I'm too lazy to post. Help me in this dilemma.

[TehKiller]

well if ure too lazy to post pics of em just send me the scheme file (and badge and banner if they are custom) over MSN ill do them for you

[Sic]

I used to make color schemes on my DoW before but I didn't have DC or Patch to have fun online with it so I uninstalled and never got to make my own armies :(. I couldn't map without patching either.
