I actually just finished printing up an entire DAO army, mostly from DakkaDakka's Dark Sun and Midnight Sun models. The main problem I have with this army is that there's no cheap chaff because OPR separated out Kroot as their own army (Jackals). Hence, you don't have a good front line melee unit native do DAO. They play well if you can manage to keep everyone at range and maximize the spotting lasers, but try doing that against armies like Alien Hives, Wolf Brothers, etc.
18:27 I think the heavy stealth suit should have been pinned, due to being at half HP but succeeding the morale. Other than that small note, an enjoyable game. Though I feel really bad watching an anti-shooting DAO list get so thoroughly clobbered by an all-melee army.
Definitely a bad matchup for the DAO Union, about as bad as it could be. They held their own though, using the difficult terrain to deny long charges is smart. Tough watching the big stealth suit completely whiff on its big cannon all game, those 1A weapons can be very swingy.
Best looking set for DAO/TAU models.
Lovely armies and a nice video, guys!
😂 you brought Stealth to an Ambush fight.
Some times the wheel makes good choices, sometimes they are bad. In this case, it was real bad.
Great video! So excited for the elementals game. HEF is my next build.
I've gone with Neoteric Miniatures (also part of The Makers Cult's roster) for my DAOs, they have a neat weird hitech insectoid vibe which I love.
Love the color scheme/paintjob for the dao units

Great game, closer than I thought after watching turn 1!!
Loooooove piper makes. I have the same models waiting to be printed
Sorry for the Nitpick. Difficult terrain is max 6" of move, not halving your move.

Awesome Video, I like to run my DAO army as a Recon Platoon!

Not the best match up for the Dao Union but they still fought valiantly.

Yeah as soon as it came up on the wheel I knew it would be an uphill fight. When they go up against the elementals it should be a different story.
