Go Dart, go dart * dose a little dance * hooray for ranting !!! blaugh
I also play Tau so I try to be objective to both of my Armies and see both sides, The Empire is a million + worlds strong. Committing just two chapters to purge the Damocles gulf would be enough to wipe out the Tau, Unless the Tau allied with other races then it might take longer. I think we just went through nearly the same thing with the orks a few days back, one by one in turn every non imperial army is going to be made to seem uber in some way or another, It helps there sales. 3nodding

Well they better.
Did me and redd ever post out stats for the 2 man Marine army?
It was cool we made armies that consist of just a Space Marine and a Grey Knights. The Space Marines counted as two troop choices and the grey knight counted as an HQ. We gave them huge stat bonuses it was great, I really felt like a Marine when play them!

Surely you mean the Imperial Navy?
The Navis Nobilitai are the Navigators.

Erm, well I was going to leave that Tau topic alone, but it I just read a post from Dryfolius, consisting off:
"If the Ethreals ever decide to start expanding pass their air space, the Imperials are SCREWED?"
That makes me mad, because believe it or not that isn't the first time I've heard of people thinking that.
Just to let you all know, the only reason the Tau actually have any wins against the Imperium, is because the Imperium is sending small forces to attack a condensed EMPIRE. Although the tau's region is small, they do still technically have an Empire, but for the reason that their race is (as said before) condensed amongst this area, they are actually using more forces against what has been sent against them as you may have thought. The thing is, just the little Imperial force that is down there is giving them a hard time, once they actually get out of thet western side of the galaxy, into the more populated Imperial space, they'll be out in a week.
Let's be serious. stare

Okay, I admit I tried to show off. The guy in FireWarrior the crappy game for PS2, the admiral says he is from the Navis Nobility and is dressed somewhat like this. But I'm not to up to date on that kind of stuff.
Redd I agree with you of course.
And Aurelius to your second post, I wish I could help but I have little enough money to spend on Warhammer 40k. But from what i have seen BFG looks really fun. I have read a few articles and the fact that your ships have to prepare in advance to turn so you have to plan on what you need to do and how to move that sounds fun. One thing I love are naval battles, if I had the money I would be in BFG but like I said I just can't.

I know exactly how you feel Dart.
Mind you, the best way to get into it is...
Find a friend...
Buy a bag of small flying bases each...
Buy a bag of large flying bases between you...
Print off the blast marker sheets from the Specialist games website...
Download the rulebook...
Yep you've guessed it (Several people I know have done this)
Simply create a fleet and then paint names/ numbers etc onto flying bases of the correct size. draw a line from stem to stern with an arrow pointing forwards
And play away!!!
Since all the measurments go from either the stem of the base or the edge of it, the models are completely optional!!!
(And in some cases it's better not to have them, ast the models make 'boarding actions' etc. quite differet as the bases won't always touch when they should!)
I know it sounds both silly and cheap but many experienced players use thismethod while trying out new fleets. It also means you can use the same marker to represent different vessels or even entirely different races. Provided your opponent knows exactly what is what.
Trust me, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Wow lost of stuff happening. surprised
*Responce to Redd*
Yeah I also get irritated, I play marines first and Tau second. Ethereals are nothing more the Tau with a rock stuffed in there for heads to make the others think they are special. If the Tau where to try and expand they had better take out all of the ultra marines first, if they cant get past one chapter the boned against the rest. The only thing that I can say is on planets that have a high population of mutants or psychers The Tau may be welcomed, kind of like what happened with the nids. People/ Idiots worshiped them. Sure the Tau are arrogant to an extent but for the outcasts of the Imperium the Tau are the next best thing. Serve the Greater good and live and be treated moderately well or Be loyal to the Emperor and be fed to his throne or tortured with out mercy... honestly which sounds better... I choose life. xd
*Responce to Dart *
Nice coat, I'm gonna miss the goggles though. wink
I just got the midnight coat my self. 3nodding
*Responce to Aurelius*
I almost bought a... um... hmm... Battle Barge ? Errm... What ever the really big ship is. I am sorry I am not versed in BFG crying
I do like your Idea on proxy BFG peices. I may try it. 3nodding I have a ton of different color plastic army men I use them to porxy different squads to try my army in different ways. Gotta love the dollar store. mrgreen

Ok ok, im fighting a war i cant win i see this. And that is why i am Resigning from the Guild. All that seems to happen is the constant dogging of the Tau, and see, for all i care for is that, The Tau could kill over, the Imperium could kill over. And Games work shop can stop selling things so damn expensivly. 5+ dollars for one Space marine? God i can have my friend make me 100+ pewter/alloy type models for 5 dollars if i wanted to so seriously? But im off, im tired of the constant whinning. And i doubt any of you will miss me, due to the fact that im a Tau player at heart, and even if i played Chaos, you would just hate me more. So what ever.

And i doubt any of you will miss me, due to the fact that im a Tau player at heart, and even if i played Chaos, you would just hate me more. So what ever. Get a grip man, yeah most of us play marines but some play other armies also. We just welcomed three new players two of which play Tau. It has been my privet holy crusade to find more players of other armies. This is also the general talk thread meant for general discussion. If you call what we are talking about whining you have seriously skewed definitions of the term. Example: I play Tau, I am out numbered, no one loves me. Marines suck. There... that's whining. The plane fact is, Marines aren't suppose to like any thing that isn't human !! So... we don't. You should know by now the nature of the game you are playing, it takes a thick hide and the typical foot ball style your team sucks, my team rules is normal. If you want to lave that's you call. No one hates you ( yet ), as usual I am more then happy to lend a helping hand in the form of a few light slams to knock some sense back into you. If you need to talk PM me.

No one hates you folyius. I'm not going to ague for you to stay, it's your choice but really this is a discussion we are discussion matters on this broad subject. I have been playing for a good 1 year and I have seen how crappy the space marines are portrayed in game, and how they make the Tau seem so powerful. I mean have you ever seen the size of the Tau Empire compared to the The Imperium? There are ork Warlords that own more then the Tau and yet they make stories of these guys acting like their going to take over the galaxy next.
Just think about it from another point of veiw, if they made a new races calls the Rats that was even more advanced then the Tau and lived in a hole in the wall in the house farthest away from the Taus main home world but their fluff made it out like that rats are taking over everything and constantly expanding their own goals. You would be mad I guarantee it.

Battle Fleet Gothic looks pretty cool, I dont know if I would have the patients to paint all them little ships...I am being lazy. sweatdrop
What up with people wanting to leave ? It's to young of a guild for that stuff... I was readin back in one of the threads bunch of people picking imperial fists's bright *cough* gay *cough* yellow armor. xp and I aint crying, hell I'll agree. Any army can get the crap beat out of them on a bad day. Folyus instead of shooting your mouth off go find more Tau people.
