Tau players will know the one I am talking about, he's stood with one foot up on a rock and holding back his rifle/pick weapon above his head with both hands, like he's about to bring it down on someone's head. Is this model available? He's in the BGB but I can't find him on the GW website or anywhere else, I know there was a kroot shaper released for a games day but that's a different fellow.

Here's a pic:

I was under the assumption that he was the Games Day model...

Nope, that's this one:



He's asking about this one:

Ahhh....It's coming back to me.

Perhaps it was one of those "Tau Test Models" That they had at one of those Games Days that wasn't going into production, but was a test for a new sculptor.

So nobody knows?

There is another shaper model.
It's in the troops section.

...no offense, but...NO gak!

He's asking about a model which was shown last year along with an ejected battlesuit pilot, which were both said to be released as "collector's models" soon, like the Space Wolf with dual lightning claws. But they've been strangely absent. The whole point of the collector's range, the way I understood it, was so that they could release cool sculpts like this without having them be tied to a codex release, but so far they haven't really released much at all.

But no, I haven't heard a damn thing. GW showed off a lot of cool Tau models last year and I'm a little annoyed that they won't even give us that much love. I can probably live without the cool battlesuit model or the pathfinders (actually if they don't redo the battlesuit model with the next update I'm quitting 40k, for serious), but these guys were almost guaranteed to come out I thought, where the hell are they?
