A tau's worst nightmare, the bloody world eaters. Tau v world eaters. Range v melee. Best way to screen, capture points and not waste movement/shooting.
I've found World Eaters to be a swingy match up - depending on the mission/army list they play we can be favored. It certainly is a tricky one though! WE is on the list
Thank you for all the helpful tips and videos. I just recently started getting into warhammer and chose t,au as my first army, you've been very helpful for me learning the game as a newbie. For the matchup I would like to see would have to be Mont'ka or Retaliation Cadre vs Sisters
Love to see some content on a few points - World Eaters countering especially deployment and Angron - opposite end of scale, match up into Knights with a non-tailored list - would love your take on how you speed up the process of deciding on guiding pairs as I lose so much time in planning that in movement phase!
Great tips, thanks for the video. For matchup series, I think a few good ones to focus on would be some of our worst matchups: space wolves, blood angels, world eaters, and maybe imperial knights too.
Please keep up the awesome work! I am a new Warhammer and T'au player and have been loving all your videos! Also, please give RetCadre some love :D About the matchup: I had a rough time against Dark Angels with their access to Deathwing Knights. Those things are tough, and I would like to see how they should be dealt with!
Let's see an Aeldari match! I just recently started playing, and picked up Aeldari. But I've got a buddy that has been playing Tau for a while and I would love to see a game or two before I challenge him.
Would love to see Mont’ka vs Bringers of Flame - it seems that we are inherently similar armies (shoot fast), but currently their stratagems and some of the datasheets seems superior to ours. Also, their dominance in meta makes this matchup even more relevant.
I'm still diagnosing this match up myself, others tell me Mont'ka is favored but I'm not so sure. More testing to come, then the matchup video will follow. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I'm pretty new to all this warhammer stuff so I'm really looking forward for your serie, and for the matchup I think of maybe Montka vs Retaliation Cadre?
I would like to see retaliation cadre verse, thousands Sons. Mainly due to the rubrica hurting your starscythe unit. Ability to get close. Then magnus just being such a heavy threat .
Vs Tyranids. Since they can be a fast army with lots of units, I usually find myself getting pushed into a corner and struggling to deal with it. Would like to see some tips in this regard.
Loving the channel. Would love to see any detatchment against TSons. I play with some highly competitive players and TSons is the bane of my existence lol
Great Stuff! I'd love to see your take on how to handle a Knight army, it seems they are difficult given they are a non-traditional army with only a few very tough and dangerous units. Tau seem decently equipped given their range and shooting prowess but how should we best approach Knights without tailoring a list to deal with them? Thanks, and keep it up!
I can only speak for RC, but Farsight + Sunforge is amazing in that. 3" Deep Strike for 1 CP, wound on 3s against Armigers or 4s against the bigger Knights with full rerolls means you're gonna get some through. In my experience, even against higher Toughness stuff, Sunforges can dole out 20+ damage pretty easily, Farsight makes that more consistent but a Coldstar's extra 4 Fusions make up for it for sure. Also in RC, Fusion Ghostkeels are amazing. S13 in RC means wounding on 3s/4s, and the Lone Op n Stealth keeps them safe until they can actually get into range to drop those nukes. Plus the Twin Fusion on top isn't nothing, but especially works on Armigers. Otherwise, Starflare Enforcer on a Fireknife unit will also do alright. Wounding on 5s but the rerolls to hit help balance it out and Plasmas can be at 11.9" since they don't need the extra AP. Missiles work well too just for volume of fire, though being AP-1 is a little annoying by comparison. Prototype Weapon System Lethals with either a Coldstar with HOBC, 2x BC, and a Cyclic or the aforementioned Missile Enforcer are also solid.
Recently Richard Siegler played his Mont'ka into Lukas Troller of team USA on stream. It was for the Dreamhack US team tournament, tactical tortoise is the channel that streamed it. I highly recommend you checking it out. Thank you for the idea
I was definitely going to recommend World Eaters too. Since once of the best WE players said one of his most recent loses was to Tau because of their movement, I was curious to see this play out.
Will do, one of my friends is the top Drukhari player in the world currently. I'm hopeful he can contribute to that matchup video, should be a good one!
T‘au Ret Cadre VS Grey Knights! I‘ve been playing Mont‘ka so far against my GK and it‘s always super interesting, bc they want to get in and I want to block them off. How does it work for Ret Cadre?
I’m starting with Mont’ka matchups first but duly noted. I want to get more reps with Retaliation Cadre and get a feel for the matchups before I start with its matchup videos!
Hey, thanks for you videos, I recently started playing so I think a common match up should be a good starting video, before a harder match up, so I vote Space Marines since there is at least one player in almost any group. Other than that since your brother runs world eaters that seems like a match up you can make a pretty good video about, would love to see your experience against them. Even a commented match could be nice (though might be a little too long).
Retaliation Cadre into Templars - I'm newly back to Tau after a long way away from the game and Templars are my other army :D Also, what's the name of that Tabletop Simulator mod for playing 40K?

I would like to see a guard match up!

Very exciting that you're just getting into T'au. It is a fun time, sisters will most definitely be one of the first few i do!
Love to see some content on a few points
- World Eaters countering especially deployment and Angron

Some fine suggestions, thank you!
Another vote for Retaliation against Bringers of Flame, my friend has really been struggling on this pairing.
Mont'ka vs Necrons, I feel like the 3 C'tan list is unbeatable
Breachers man, they are the key. Thanks for bringing it up!
I am really enjoying your channel and would like to see Mont'ka vs imp knights as i have a game coming up thanks
Sounds good, I will do my best to get that matchup video out soon!
You have just gotta do World Eaters matchup! Great stuff, I'm new to Warhammer and am slowly building up my tau so all of your videos are a huge help!
World Eaters can do, I might even do some demonstrations with my brother who plays it. Glad you're learning from the videos so far!
Kauyon vs Sisters, very tricky matchup!
Mont'ka v Blood Angels for sure.
Noted, thank you!
Please keep up the awesome work! I am a new Warhammer and T'au player and have been loving all your videos! Also, please give RetCadre some love :D

Honestly what I would most like to see is Ret cadre vs Montka, but I think Kauyon into Bringers of Flame would make a good video.
Sisters is high on my list, will do!
For the match up series you should go with the new hotness, Dark Angel's Gladius Task Force.
I’d love to see the retaliation cadre vs black templars, just because it’s me and my friends fav army lol
Mont’ka versus thousand sons would be great, or hypercrypt crons. Seem common at WTC
T Sons are certainly high on the list. Hypercrypt is quite tricky now as well. Thanks for the idea!
Hey you won! Pls reach out on Discord to @johnkilco and we'll get the new Darkstrider model to you ASAP!
Montka vs Blood Angels! Real tough army to play against in my experience.
Indeed, it can be rough. Any railguns in the list are great for dealing with Baal Predators. Noted!
Great video! Would like to see kauyon/montka into Drukhari
Would love to see Mont’ka vs. Custodes - my friendgroup really tries to break our resident custodes players streak but nothing :D
Thanks for the tips hopefully vs a marine variation any army is fine tbh have learnt alot from your videos.
So glad to hear it Alvin, that’s the goal!
I'm pretty new to all this warhammer stuff so I'm really looking forward for your serie, and for the matchup I think of maybe Montka vs Retaliation Cadre?
It’s a wild ride, thanks for tuning in!

I am in the same boat as everyone, would like to see a world eater matchup. I am also on the fence of getting them as my 2nd army.
Retaliation VS Adepta Sororitas... A very strong army Right now
Loving the channel. Would love to see any detatchment against TSons. I play with some highly competitive players and TSons is the bane of my existence lol
Thank you, T sons vid just uploaded!

Certainly! It is a weird matchup, especially CK. I will add it to the list of matchups to cover first!
Enjoying the videos. Keep uo the great work
Would like to know T'au vs Green tide or T'au whilst still being good against the other.
Recently Richard Siegler played his Mont'ka into Lukas Troller of team USA on stream. It was for the Dreamhack US team tournament, tactical tortoise is the channel that streamed it. I highly recommend you checking it out. Thank you for the idea

Sure thing, I can certainly do a WE matchup overview!
Tau vs Sisters!
I'd love to see mont'ka vs. necrons. Love the channel!
Sweet we can whip that one up with certainty!
Retaliation vs Blood Angels would be good
I need some more reps with retaliation before I start doing matchup vids with it, but thank you for the suggestion!
Awesome stuff! Please make a Tau vs Drukhari. I know a lot of guys that get rocked by these nasty baddies
Will do, one of my friends is the top Drukhari player in the world currently. I'm hopeful he can contribute to that matchup video, should be a good one!
@@tautactics 🥲 you are the hero I've always wanted and the hero that this community deserves!
Drukhari Sky Splinter gives me a TON of problems. The speed+so many MSU blobs who can all score just seem to be too much for me 😢
T‘au Ret Cadre VS Grey Knights!
I‘ve been playing Mont‘ka so far against my GK and it‘s always super interesting, bc they want to get in and I want to block them off. How does it work for Ret Cadre?
This is great! Can you do a quick video about Grundy maneuver?
Added to my list of video ideas. Thanks for the suggestion!
Have you seen the original video?
ua-cam.com/video/izI8RpekkKA/v-deo.html
What Kyle said, the original video above is what you need to see!
Retaliation Cadre vs Death Guard please!
I’m starting with Mont’ka matchups first but duly noted. I want to get more reps with Retaliation Cadre and get a feel for the matchups before I start with its matchup videos!
Ret vs Blood Angels~!
Duly noted!

That is a great idea! I should have my brother on the channel at some point to get a game in.
Tau V.S. Blood angels. How to efficiently screen units that can move 12 inches with fly.
retaliation vs tsons
i enjoy your videos and hope you keep doing them. best of luck!
More to come!
I think Grey Knights would be interesting. Great channel!
It’s an interesting one for sure!
Thanks for content! If I had to choose a matchup it would be Dark Angels or Blood Angels!
For sure, sounds good! It’s added to the list
Montka vs Custodes! Is the stat check there?
Sweet, I haven't played into Custodes in a while so it will be a great exercise for me to better learn how they play today.
great video I'm really looking forward to the Kauyon video :)
Seeing as you are giving away dark strider maybe do a match up in which he is really useful like Grey Knights or Hypercrypt Necrons?
Can't wait for Tau vs Adepta Sororitas. For me the most fifficult matchup to deal with:)
Cool to see a T'au channel :)
Love the content! Would be interested in your Votann matchup, feels like both armies are doing much of the same thing but at different tempos
Suggestions for videos -
Deployment for tau vs different enemy types.
Objective choice or how to set up to maximise tactical objectives
Sweet thanks so much! Appreciate you sharing your ideas
Retaliation Cadre into Templars - I'm newly back to Tau after a long way away from the game and Templars are my other army :D Also, what's the name of that Tabletop Simulator mod for playing 40K?
If you look to tactical tortoises channel you can find a full tutorial on how to get TTS set up :)
@@tautactics Cheers mate, appreciate the reply!
Sisters :D
They’re coming up soon!
