Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade Message Board  

The Necron stronghold is pretty hard especially without an honor
guard. If you attack provinces first and get an honor guard then the bases are easy.

So far i haven't found a Single Ememy that is a pain with Tau,this is with out cheats,the Orks and the Chaos I have one problem with and is there ability to build a army fast in the beginning and thats all but the Tau's Defence abilitys really help on that.

I think it sux the tau dont have turrents, but they do have defensive units from the tau barracks but thats only available after the POE (path of enlightenment).

are all u guys insane? the Tau are the hardest to defeat!! i've finished the game with every race v.s the Tau, and they are the hardest!! due to the stealth suits placed all through out the city & the Kroot.... damn them damn them to hell , also you can't take a stealth approach, (like you would with the elder) due to their pathfinders. as for the rest of the race's child's play

if we rank the top 3 aid say
1-tao
2-necrons
3-chaos
if anyone has another way of ranking them,just say to me

CHAOS SCUM!! PURGE THE HERETICS!

i agree chaos is hard to defeat.

tau, on the other hand are frikkin great! on the second campaign turn, i wiped out all the eldar! god the last battle with the eldar was fun, with both orks and chaos involved! i saved the ork squiggoths so that they were on my side and helped me crush the rest of the ork resiliance.' then i went on to the first eldar base with my complete tau MEGAFORCE full of hammerheads, pathfinders, vespid, fire warriors, honor guard fire warriors (which kick ass!) and my great friend the ethereal! i always sacrifice the ethereal because it makes all the tau fight tough as nails. while my tau were kicking eldar prosterior, i had my earth caste builders build cadre HQs all over my side of the battle firld and make dosens of bases (there's no way anyone is taking this place back!).

the eldar retreated and sent in a big chaos force, which i wiped out with ease . there predators were no match for my sky rays and hammer heads! HAH! pityful chaos scum...

Then, it was up to the eldar's main stronghold, the webway assembly. i knew my force would take large casualties so i went forwards to build a defensive line with broadsides to make sure there would be no counter! like i knew, the tau would take great casualties for the greater good so i sent the order to move forward, the pathfinders going first. when i say them get killed by 2 wraithlords i thought; hey! knowbody does that to the tau! and charged my tanks right out in front to obliterate the wraithlords! but there was more, the drone harbinger went on to scout for any more threats. it didnt return... to my fear, the eldar had summoned the legendary avatar of khaine! i sent all my tau forces into the front line in the name of the greater good!

after the long gory attack of the avatar, rippping apart 2 of my fire warrior squads, we set camp for a short while, because there was alot more to go!

meanwhile a wraithlord and howling banshee squad had escaped through one of the webway gates right to one of my bases, so i sent in my elites alongside a drone squad to take care of them, easy as pie. with that base of mine destroyed i thought i should replace it, right where the tau were camping. the base was done reinforcments were here! so on they went!

it was a long battle with many sacrifices, i lost most of my best units to this eldar strike force... including all 3 of my crisis suits, a hammerhead, the remainder of my fire warriors and my vespid and ethereal. i also lost all of my sky rays. i only called in 2 more fire warrior squads to take and hold the remainding 2 webway assembly gates (the critical locations) and thus, victory for the tau! for the greater good!

wadya think, good battle report eh?

hey do any of you play the real warhammer 40'000?

i dont reallly know but i recon ive got a good sort of attack plan coz im the necrons and all i do is send my necron lord as soon as the game comes on straight into there base at there hq then if he dies all i have to do is make another one of him and he comes to life on the spot he died usaually this is right by the side of the enemys hq and i get him to smash into it then he destroys it and the game is finished in about five minutes and none of my trainers work it is really annoying can any1 help me with that 🤔

nither to me works the trainers now cuz i ve instaled a new patch
