Episode 108 - Show of Force: The Greater Good

Episode 108 of The Independent Characters is all about The Tau! We cover it with our patented (not really) Show of Force approach. This time it's Show of Force: The Greater Good. We talk about everything Tau, from the history and details of the race, their reliance on futuristic technology and weaponry. We go inside the background, rules, supplements and excitement of the youngest race in the Warhammer 40k Universe! We will discuss our experiences playing the Tau and how they perform on the tabletop in comparison to their backstory. To help us through all of this, we have brought in Jason McCurry of our local gaming group. Tau were his first army, and although he isn't actively playing them right now, he helps walk us through the confusion of marker drones, and ethereals! Additionally, as recommended by Reece Robbins, we have Israel Sanchez to walk us through playing Tau in the competetive environment. We hope you enjoy this episode!   Time Stamps: 0:00:00 - Show Intro and host introduction 0:05:30 - Workbench and Games Played 0:52:00 - Show of Force: The Greater Good (Part 1) 1:52:50 - Show of Force: The Greater Good (Part 1) 2:22:45 - Interview with Israel Sanchez about Tau 2:56:15 - Final Thoughts and Show Closing   Relevant Links: KR Multicase - SPONSOR Secret Weapon Miniatures! - SPONSOR Smells Like Wargaming - SPONSOR Spruehammer - SPONSOR Wargamma - SPONSOR 2014 Hobby Progress Challenge Forge World Games Workshop The Black Library
