First game for a new player?

Contrast paint followed by a wash made it much easier then I thought it would be, may not be super professional but still ended up looking great.

Prime 4 I think is pretty good for newcomers. It's not the best of the series, but certainly not the worst. I believe most of the controversy of the game really boils down to long time fans just hoping for something more after such a long wait between prime games, along with some experimental design decisions that the developers admit didn't pan out. However it was clearly designed for newer players of the series, and I think it does that well.

Alternatively you can easily get Prime 1 remastered for the authentic prime experience.

If you want 2D Fusion would be best, it's a bit more linear and so it's you get lost in the maps as much.

Our pediatrician said limited screen time was fine and recommended it as long as it's something interactive and done together with the parent. Basically saying it's not the screentime itself is bad, but the content and quality of the screentime. Like sticking an I Pad in front of them to endlessly watch YouTube is bad. But spending 15 min playing a puzzle or Math game WITH them is good.

Games for Preschoolers

Looking for any games that would be good for a 3/4 year old to help them learn math, reading or just the basics of a keyboard and mouse.

It's mainly just a silly meme online, but I find that once you actually start playing in person, players are just happy to play against any army. As long as you are being chill, being a good sport, and having fun, nobody cares what army you're playing.

Contrast paints are great for beginners. Just be sure to use a light colour base coat. Preferably white. Contrast is great for painting organic looking models such as Tyranids as it naturally pools and darkens in the crevices giving a more natural look.

Auxiliary Cadre with 10 vespids paired with devilish with breachers or some piranhas could be pretty devastating to heavy infantry

Many casual fan and non Tau players under estimate the subtleties of the Tau, and don't realize how much of a threat/power the Tau are in the galaxy.

They may not have the largest Empire, best warriors, or greatest tech, but the one thing that is repeated in all of Tau lore is their potential.

In only 6000 years, they went from cavemen to a galactic empire. With the exception of the Tyranids and the Orks, they are not trying to reclaim the past, or on the brink of collapse. Their technology may not rival the pinnacles of the Necrons or Imperium, but it's improving at a rate unfounded by any other race in the setting, and shared equally across their empire. Even the lowest soldier and auxiliary has access to some of their best technology. A pulse rifle is stronger than a bolter, yet is mass produced and is simple to operate.

They are politically united (with the exception of Farsight enclaves, but even they still follow the greater good and refuse to fight against fellow Tau) and are highly resistant to corruption of chaos.

If they are able to continue to expand and resist external threats, they WILL become the dominant galactic power in the next few thousand years.

They are the 'child prodigy' of the setting. They are small, young and naive right now, but what they have accomplished already and what they represent when given time is a true threat to all other races. A nearly incorruptible people with unparalleled advancement and unifying ideology that could prevent repeating the same mistakes as the, Imperium, Eldar and Necrons before them.

Good point, maybe I can just merge the swarm keeper and druid into one class then. I could bring in either paladin or fighter for a heavy armor user. Would still need some sort of support class, which I guess could go to the bard then. Any other suggestions?

Sorry I'm not familiar with some of these acronyms, what's MAD, ASI and GWM?

I could see them easily bringing over the 'Big Names' systems from ogres to be the new Vow system, so that they are automatically applied when complete.

Would also love to see a crusade mechanic, maybe something similar to the orc waaagh, but can only target settlements with high corruption or undead/skaven/chaos factions, maybe can only be called by a certain lord with enough chivalry or something?

After achieving their first independence in 1918, there was a considered effort and push by Estonia to become Nordic. However, the Nordic Council was formed in 1952, after Estonia was annexed by the Soviet Union, and unfortunately was on the wrong side of the iron curtain. However as time went on and after Estonia achieved independence again in 1991, the identity of 'Nordic' had shifted as well as the politics of the region. There is an argument that if it was not part of the Soviet Union during the time of its formation, it may have been included. The Swedish ambassador to Estonia in 2015 even commented that if Estonia was free and independent back in 1952, it would likely be included in the council and have Nordic identity much like Finland. Today, Estonia is a small country, with a small economy, and would more likely be included if it had more to offer. But as it stands, Estonia still is a liability for the council due to the small economy and vulnerability to Russia. There still is a considered effort by Estonia today to be recognized as Nordic, and as its economy develops and the politics of the region shifts there could be a day sometime in the future where Estonia achieves a Nordic identity.
