"Dark Eldar guy," huh?

I voted Shadowsun, because while she's not as grimdark as Farsight, she's shootier. So she fits my Tau better.

...tanks from the 23rd and 48th batallion were flanked by tanks from the enemies' 56th batallion. It was then that General Smedfordshire revealed his secret weapon: a slightly larger tank.

Pedro all the way! Except I rather it be Cortez. Because Captain Cortez was awesome!.
Pedro is awesome because he saved his entire chapter from an orc wagh! when his base blew up.

Calgar. Just for the artwork in the dex. When I first saw him all I could think was mean, he looks damn mean.

I have to second this, for one simple reason, "disarming" a Warboss with his ribcage Thats just Awesome.

Edit: Cortez now has more votes than Abaddon

Chaplain Grimaldus of the Black Templars. He had a friggin' cathedral collapse on him, and all it did was make him more pissed.

For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

I'm a tau player 4 life but i don't like any of the special characters due to their rules, my favourite has to be Ulrik the Slayer cos he is a really cool guy for space woofs, also i like Pedro Kantor as he is pretty cool, and after that i'd have to say Farsight cos he is a Tau and their best special character (If only he allowed kroot in his army!!!!!!!!!!)

I'm making a new poll with EVERY special character, can you please name the special character's that i've missed out (other than Orks and Nids) so i can add them

The picture on his page in the 3rd Ed. Codex (the one with him stepping forward bolters levelled, with 3 'nid head trophies) was awesome, and I maintain it's still the best pic of Calgar to date.

So 'other' is winning. Nice.

Suggests to me, that - no offense OP - a largely different selection of Special Characters is needed...

None of them particularly appealed to me, but Grimnar's a dude (and not on there).

Vulkan could have probably got a lot of love were he included, as would Muegan Ra, Lysander, Swarmlord and others were they included IMHO.

Enlist as a virtual Ultramarine! Click here for my Chaos Gate (PC) thread.

"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of."
- Roboute Guilliman

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

May I ask what's wrong with this, rules-wise? Not arguing, just still new here and honestly wondering what the infraction is.
