|  Does any one else think this Do you think Aun'Va looks like the prophet of regret from Halo? He has the hovery chair, the freaky hat, the two guys trying to look all tough..

| Yeah, there are distinct differences, but the same idea. Yet anyone playing Aun'va has an intense case of fluffitis or has no idea what "the ultimate price of failure" or doesn't know the power of the shas'o they could take instead with those 205 pts.

| They take them so they can be a target. I have learned my lesson on trying to take them out. Yes that ethereal does look alought like the prophits. The Carnifex also has a resemblance to the Star Craft Ultralisc but not nearly as drastic.

| Heh heh heh, thats a good one... Etherals always have left me baffeled. If the Tau have such a respect for their Etherals, why stick them in the line of fire? It's just not a good idea! Leave the fighting to the guys who are bred to do it, not a robed guy with a stick!

 | Well for starters its always good to have an inspirational figure in command, such as an Ethereal. Also its probably a good idea to keep those pheremones around to enforce Ethereals command.

| Well, it looks like Tau armies can fight perfectly well without an Etheral standing right next to them, so they don't seem that necesssary. Also, I would say Shas'O are inspirational too (but not as much as Etherals). I think the risk of them dying far outweighs any benefit of them taking part in the battle. Also, I find them annoying...

| Hmm, I suppose... though if their mind-control abilities are to be believed, I don't think the Tau are going to complain if they aren't on the battlefield. How many Etherals are there BTW? I guess its not many.

| if i were to ever play a tau army, (not bloody likely mind!) i would probably include the ethereal for the fire warrior bodyguard! BS4 fire warriors are dead scary and it would free up some of those marker light hits for other units to use... that and his inspiring presence rule is nifty! you only need a line of sight, so you can still deploy the ethereal at the back of your lines in some nice solid cover too! cheers!

| Hmm, makes a lot of sense... I've always thought he looked a bit strange... but how does he hide the hooves? I'm not that keen of the Fire Warrior bodygaurd, though they are cool. I just think that a even a Shas'El with a Crisis suit bodygaurd is a so much better way to go. But then I do love Crisis suits...
