Nar'tol cadres log

[lord marcus]

big project. this is in addition to my demons. my demons and this are my priority, i would like to sell/trade my other stuff if possible. once demons are 2k, demons are capped, and this continues.

i have ordered the codex a battleforce, and an extra crisis to join the two fire warriors and crisis i already have. more pics tonight.

hi all, this thread is to document the construction, painting, and gaming of my first tau army, that of a self made sept called Nar'tol. the planet is set to have an over limit population of tau, and no resident kroot. first there is some fluff, then a breakdown of the full extent of the cadre's (which i may or may not fully complete) along with pictures of my first "finished" fire warrior, which is most welcome to C+C.

FLUFF

Cast of characters for Nar’tol cadres.


Aun’o’viorla’ores’ka


Aun’o Ores’ka, as he is known by most of the tau on Nar’tol, is in his middle years. After successfully capturing a minor sept during the third sphere expansion with Shas’o’viorla’lar’myr. Now Ores’ka, along with a select group of Aun’el have been assigned by the higher ethereal to raise a half dozen cadre’s from Nar’tol’s over limit population, and strike against the previously unknown system to the galactic south west, which has been contested by many alien races for some time, and to capture it for the greater good.


Shas’o’viorla’lar’myr


Shas’o’viorla’lar’myr, or Shas’o’myr, as those under his command know him, has developed many of the Tau Empires greatest stealth formations and tactics, and as a result, is often called Commander shadow strike by his troops. After a five-tau’cyr retirement, the thirty-five tau’cyr old tau Shas’o has been forced to rejoin the armies of Aun’o Ores’ka as senior commander. He has been granted overall military control, and has set up a command structure within the half dozen cadres under his direct command. Now he waits aboard transport for the battles to come, hatching plans and giving lectures to the new shas’el. In secret, Myr has contacted ethereal leader Aun’va about the requisition of his former stealth cadre, and now, it has arrived.
