Gooooood morning Dakka =)

I almost finsihed my tau army. But I want an real awesome Tau leader. And by that I mean a real tau, so none in a battlesuit.
So, since the Space Marines have Marneus, and the IG have Yarrick. Do the tau have any awesome (Game-Wise or panorama, don't care ) awesome leaders?
And would it be easy to convert your own tau leader?

Thanks in advance =)

Well, if that's so..
Are there any models which are easily converted fluff-wise?

Don't you have the codex btw? That should tell you that any tau without a suit is incompetent to say the least.

I know, but I just think an leader without a battlesuit looks more awesome, whenever it is on the gaming table or in an diorama ;o
And ofcourse I have the codex, can't start an army without in my opinion.

Wow guys.. I guess I should start by thanking all of you guys! Thanks a lot, since there is some very usefull information in this thread =)

I'll think I'll start by getting an ethereal, convert him using gs and some tau bits to make him look more awe'sum (inside joke, yes, it's awful >< and, since there's absolutely no way around it. I'll get another battlesuit, and put the commander in the battlesuit, like the picture dakkadood posted =)

since my army will be more cc orientated, I will also add some kroots in it. Any advice on awesome kroot leaders? ="

Sorry for not explaining my request good enough.

But what I ment was, if people could upload some pictures, or like you already did, post some fluff story's =)
