References to the name R'ylitan have appearred across the entire galaxy since the first days of Man. Whilst initially disputed as legends passed though time, it has been made clear by more recent Explorator expeditions that there is a degree of truth behind this being which has appeared in many civilisations. Depictions of him ranging from the ancient hierogplyths of the Gyptian Pharoahs, to the wondrous Greekian temples, to the far more recent white noises transmissions from the abandoned Persecutor-Class Fleet, R'ylitan has swayed the course of time on thousands of occasions, with only one certain consequence: the complete destruction of those who are unfortunate to witness his presence.

Timesplitter Blade: Said to contain the essence of a C'tan, those struck such a weapon begin to phase out of existence, doomed to roam until the end of time while their physical existence is obliterated. The Timesplitter Blade counts as a Power Weapon. Any models wounded by it but not killed must take a Leadership Test. Any model which fails is immediatly removed from play at the end of the Assault Phase.
Entropy Orb: The antithesis of the works of the Crypteks, the Entropy Orb was created as a by-product of the technology used to create the Resurrection Orbs. While Resurrection Orbs are able to knit minerals and, to a much lesser extent flesh, back into their component forms, the Entropy Orb works in the opposite way, annihilating the bonds beween atoms the same way as the more common Voidblades and Scarabs do. The Entropy Orb counts as a ranged weapon with the following profile: Range: Template SX (always wounds on 4+) Ap1 Assault 1, Entropic Strike
Shifter of Civilisation: Before deployment, all players must roll a single D6, which may not be influenced by any way. Add all the results together and consult the following chart, the effects of which will remain in place for the rest of the game.
2: Cataclysm - Comets impact into the ground, throwing up plumes of fire which can be seen for hundreds of miles. All players choose a medium-sized terrain feature (up to 12" x 12") and roll a D6 for their chosen terrain. On a 2+ the feature is removed from play, whereas on a 1, it is unaffected.
3-5: Eternal Night - Wherever from a volcanic event or an eclipse, darkness enshrouds the battlefield. The Night Fighting rules are in place for the first three turns of the game.
6-8: Sandstorm - Dust, ash and powdered remains are lifted into the atmosphere, obsuring targeting systems and Auspex matrices. Any unit wishing to fire over 36" subtracts 1 from their BS value (to a minimum of 2)
9-11: Radiation Purge - Local solar activity irradiates the area, causing withering effects on organic life, while artificial lifeforms are less affected. Roll a D6 for every unit in the game. On a 5+, the unit takes D6 S5 Ap- hits. Tyranids have been observed to be more vulnerable to these effects, they are affected on a 4+, whereas Necron units as well as any model with a 2+ save are only affected on a 6. Vehicles are unaffected.
12 or above: Divine Judgement: Perceived by previous cultures as the wrath of a celestial being, R'ylitan is able to unleash horrific powers contained within the world upon the enemy. After all forces are deployed and Scout and Infiltration effects have been made, the controlling player may place D6 5" Blast Markers on the battlefield, scattering them 3D6". Any model hit takes a wound on a 4+ with the Rending rule. However, this effect is non-discriminatory, as a result, after the controlling player has made these attacks, each enemy player may also place D6 markers in the same way as above.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
Even by Orkish standards, Skullsmasha is one thick . His brain is said to be so underdeveloped that he doesn't even know he exisits, he simply follows his Orkoid instincts and doesn't feel pain from half thatb shots that penetrate his leathery hide. His Waaagh! was a force of nature, much like the brute himself.
His Waaagh! started when, as a mere Nob of the Bad Moons, he marched to war under Gutrencha da Ork-iarch. His mob of no less than a dozen Nobs, led by Gutrencha himself, with a Wierdboy as his second in command, led a full force rampage into the battlelines of the Mordian 5th. The Ork race is noted for its massive impact when it gets a charge in, but Skullsmasha made even his Warlord's berserk rampage look like a toddler throwing a fit. He smashed into the enemy with a fury that could make Gork himself hesitate before following, hurtling headfirst into a Chimera and tearing it asunder before laying waste to the occupants, include what was assumed to be Lord Commissar Van Helford. They couldn't identify the body. Or what was left as it were. Soon after he was found tearing apart Leman Russ Battle Tanks with his bare hands and hurling Guardsmen so far up into the sky it is said Mork had to move out of the way to avoid being splattered with Guardsmen.
Gutrencher da Ork-iarch died in that battle, though it required serveral Leman Russ Squadrons to bring him to his end. After that though, Skullsmasha took over. He didn't exactly lead the Orks, he just kinda went stompin' off to battle with some Lackeys at his heels. his Nobs and lesser Bosses say he is dumb as a Bull Squig and as strong as a really strong Warboss (they're Nobs, they don't understand, "thinking").
When Skullsmasha gathers momentum, no creature on Terra save the Emperor, could hope to withstand they beast's impact. This seems to be magnified by the number of larger Orks in his company. On his own he is a force to be reckoned with. As the leader of the mob of boys and their Nob-Boss, he is deadly. Heading a Meganob Mob, he is a Daemon... That said, his low intelligence capacity makes his reactions increbly slow. Except when rampaging through a frenzied melee, in which case he is a quick as a whip.

So, at the head of a 30 strong Boys Mob with a Nob, he would gain +2 Str and Int.

Equipment: Mega Uber Giga Blasta, Da Grimsaw, Bionik Gubbinz
Mega Uber Giga Blasta: The Mega Uber Giga Blasta may fire in three different ways. Declare which way you will fire it before you roll to hit. Note that due to the constantly wavering frequencies, you may not pick the same mode twice in a row.
Da Grimsaw. This is a Close Combat weapon with the Rending Special rule
Bionik Gubbinz: These give Fluffy a 5++ and Feel No Pain
Special Rules:
Uncontrollable Rage: Fluffy, despite his name, is a furious hurricane in a close bloody assault. He gets D6 +2 attacks in assault. He also has the Furious Charge and Rage USRs.
Towering Behemoth: Any enemy unit within 6" of Fluffy must pass a Morale check or they will be pinned. If a unit that is charged by Fluffy fails a morale check, every model loses 1 attack to a minimum of one, and 1 WS to a minimum of 1.
Fearless: Fluffy is a massive lumbering Behemoth that is all but immune to the most devastating of attacks. Fluffy is Fearless.
Old Champion: Fluffy is a symbol of all Orkdom, a direct conduit of Gork and Mork. All units in an army that includes Fluffy gain +1 Strength and +1 Initiative until he is slain.
After the attack of a Tyranid Hive Fleet on the world of Fervin, several Tyranid Organisms lay scattered on the planet. One of these happened to be a Carnifex. Warboss Blackgob ordered his Boyz to clear the world of, as he put it, "Dese filthy squishy scum once and fer all!". One curious Ork Boy had managed to find the Carnifex in a cave, waiting to find it's prey. Fortunately, all connections with the Hive Mind had been severed, and it was left mindless. As the Ork boy looked upon the blue carapace, he thought more and more about how lucky it must be. After all, it survived the wrath of the entire Ork populace of the planet. The Boy decided to spare the Carnifex. He named it Fluffy, as that was a traditional 'oomie name to use. He put chain around his neck and led him to the village. Several Orks looked in disbelief, others in awe as they saw the great lumbering beast being led by the Boy. "Look at the size of dat!" was one of the many exclamations of the Ork townspeople who saw Fluffy. The Meks and Doks swarmed around him, offering the Boy free Bioniks and Dakka for the creature. He simply punched them to the ground, got Fluffy to crack their skulls open, and move on. He was headed to Warboss Blackgob's Deff Castle, where he would ask for teef to spend on "custumizin'" Fluffy. Blackgob laughed at him, and said "You really think that me money is best spent on dat gribbly?!" The boy said he would give him as a personal mount, then quickly proceeded to crush his head into submission using Fluffy once negotiation failed. Fearing a similar fate, the Meks and Doks that were once hassling the Boy were now fixing up Fluffy good an' propa. They attached a massize saw onto one arm, and a humungous cannon onto another. Various bitz were added to him, until the Boy that found him now had a saddle and reins to mount him with. And this is the beginning of the legend of Fluffy.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Carnifexes are not passive lurkers, like gaunts or Lictors. Once Hive Mind connections are severed, it goes into an unstoppable rampage that only a Baneblade or Fortress could withstand. Maybe. And a Boy could never in a million, trillion, a killion years would ever be able to kill, let alone chain up and lead around, a carnifex. I don't care how much jest or alcohol went into this. This is idiotic.

Unlikely, impropable, but It's hardly the worst thing I've seen.
Just because you see it happen all the time on TV doesn't make it true. Gilligan might simply need a slight coconut bonk to clear his noggin but something that is bred, created, and so closely tethered to the hive mind would probably loose most function aside from violence. And even then only because only because it is created to be like that.
But sadly most of these are opinions as we don't right the fluff for 'em. GW said that when they loose contact with the hive mind they go ape until they die. The flipside of that is that the fluff for a creature doesn't have to be bullet proof, just needs to be enough to let someone else field it against them.
I wouldn't.
AND +1 STR and I to everything in the army is bonkers. You're telling me then the orcs are as fast as an Eldar Howling Banshee?

General mael radec commander of the helghan imperial guard
Radec was just a child when his people were exiled from the paridise world of vekta 13 in the eastern fringe. The tau had conquered his world and forced the ideals of the greater good upon the people. A resistance formed and began gathering momentum radecs parents became involved believing they could throw off the chains of tau opression they made contact with the imperium and requested aid the imperium said they would come however the movement was betrayed from the inside and all those involved were arrested radecs parents didnt despair believeing the imperium would save them however upon hearing of the movements demise and suffering several defeats at the hands of the tau the impetium abandoned vetka 13 to its fate the tau commander soa'vre decided to make an example of the prisoners and exiled them and every member of their families. Abandoned by the imperium and exiled from vetka the exiles were forced to settle on the deathworld helghan. Full of ash clouds lightening storms and mutated carnivores helghan began to destroy the exiles those without reabreathers died within weeks of lung rot including radecs father however the exiles adapted their bodies growing stronger they took to calling themselves the helghast as they believed they were now more tan human. Eventually the planet began to thrive as a natural mineral in th planets crust was a potent source of energy cities emerged and trade began however many stil dreamed of vetka. 2 decades later the invasion of vetka began radec then a lieutenant in the helghast army was amongst the invasion force however they were constantly beaten back by the tau during the battle for vetka city radecs superior was killed the tau sensing weakness pushed forward men falling back around him radec took command and began an offensive that pushed right into the heart of the city where he met the tau commander the very one who had exiled him all those years ago his bodyguards fell to plasma fire but his sheild drones absorbed the damage he lept at radecs squad crushing the plasma gunner gutting radecs bodyguards radec lept foward power sword in hand to decapitate him but a shield drone lept in the way the tau commander swung his armored fist breaking radecs sword arm picking radec up.he prepared to finish him however radec pulled the pin on a krak grenade and and jammed it between the armour plates on his shoulder the blast severed the commanders arm fortunatly radecs rebreather saved him from the brunt of the blast he crawled toward the downed commander seeing he was still alive radec pulled his combat knife out and jammed it in his eye socket the tau leaderless fell back and were eventually driven off planet.

Eternal hatred: Radec despises the tau his unit and all those within 24 inch have the prefered enemy special rule (tau)
These symbols might seem foreign to you but they are very important. We call them "punctuation". Please use them so that it is easier to read.
Anyways I hate to lay down hate on fluff two times in a row but the Tau are a very young race who has evolved very, very quickly. It is highly unlikely that from the time they took the world to what we consider "present time" in 40k that they would be able to rebuild. Let alone have the tools to build much of anything. Also, the time it takes humans to evolve or adapt to certain drastic changes, such as the ash you mentioned, would most likely kill them hundreds of years before they could adapt. Although I will admit that it is more original than most of the fluff here. "Commander blahblah was Chapter Master at age 5 and killed Gre ater Daemons barehanded while still in his diapers" seems like a familiar story from most of the other characters. I'd patch it up by saying the Imperium sent supplies but never any military aide. Perhaps?
And most of all.... Why even bother with Prefered Enemy: Tau? Even a basic guardsman can probably take out a squad of fire warriors! I know, I know. Kroot and Battlesuits can kill stuff in melee, but I can still jest at it, no?

How many points is radec meant to be?
Is he an independant Character or an upgrade of some sort?
Depending on points, one assumes that the entire force will be Helghastian renegades, and in that case simply confering Prefered Enemy: Tau Empire to your whole force may not be unreasonable (especially being as guard, facing tau, neither of you are likely to be charging the enemy).
I'd also remove 'Eternal Hatred', having 'Old Wounds' confer the Perfered Enemy: Tau Empire rule as well as prohibiting the use of commisars.
Also - Tau oppression? I suppose from the view of radical imperials it would be... but nevermind. Tau tend not to live all that long, generally not for more than 40ish years, and it'll take them at least 30 years to make it to the rank of O (commander), then only a few years after that they can retire, so 20 years later he's probably retired or dead. Also only 20 years is a really fast pace for cities to be made, and enough infrastructure to send ships and armies on a full blown invasion (unless those terrible Tau sent them off with enough base resources / prefab to get going )
ANYWAY:
Updated version of my Tau Commander Sorrow, including fluff, rules and a picture
O'R'ashmya - Commander Mourning Sorrow
Spoiler:
During the War of Dark Revelations, hundreds of Tau were given over to the Dark Eldar Haemonculus Urien Rakarth as payment for aid against the Tyranid threat, these poor souls were tortured and warped into lumbering Grotesques by the fleshmelders.
Among the first wave of these creatures sent back through the webway to Vigos were the initial experiments, cannon fodder not expected to survive, and it was thought all of their creations from this first wave had been lost.
In truth in the opening moments of that battle one of them had been struck hard, then trapped under the corpse of a massive tyranid beast. After the smoke cleared, the tyranids pushed back and the covens had vanished once again into the shadows, there was movement among the piles of dead. A lone Grotesque rose, somehow his own man again, no longer a puppet of the haemonculi. Slowly he made his way back to the Tau lines, calling in a loud, guttural voice for his kin.
Already shocked and horrified at the realisation of what these creatures were, seeing one that knew he was Tau saddened them further. The creature that was once like them had no recollection of his name, or his caste, his body while strong was full of pain, yet his will was resolute. He wished to stand as a memorial to his fallen brothers and deliver justice upon the Dark Eldar. The builders and engineers of the Earth Caste took pity on him, and from the remnants of destroyed equipment built him weapons and armour to help him achieve his goal.
The nameless warrior took the title R'ashmya, or Mourning Sorrow and with his modified Plasma Rifle the Hammer of Dawn vowed to protect the empire from the dark kin. While many expected him to fall swiftly, he prevailed in conflict after conflict, always on the front line, eventually making it to the rank of Commander, and finally being given the option to retire. He refused, instead asking to commission a special strike force, and his wish was granted.
Having lived several times longer than most normal Tau, using the longevity borne of his new form, he now leads the Defenders of Twilight, a rapid response force that specialises in defending the empire against the Dark Eldar. They operate out of a customised manta, the majority of its internal space taken up by a jump drive, the ship, while with greatly reduced capacity can deliver the Sorrows force to anywhere within the empires borders swiftly, to deliver retribution against those who wronged them.

The Emperor's Twinkie: Works just like the Deathstrike missile found on page 55 of the codex except that it may be fired once every turn with unlimited shots. It also is Barrage, Pinning, Rending, Assault 1. In addition to these effects, whenever an opponent looses a model to this attack you may give him a wedgie (Once per turn)
Customized Pintle Hand: Having the amazing ingenuity that he does he insisted that the Techpriest Engineseers must graft the excess pintle-mounted weapons from a Chimera onto his hand. The adepts of Mars did so at once, seeing the ingenuity of doing so and crafted it the most powerful ammunition available. This weapon may be fired in addition to all other weapons:
Range: 0.5" to 120" S: 6 AP: 1 Melta, Pistol 6
Lasgun Crotch: Commander All Y'all also wanted everyone to know he has the biggest "gentlemen parts" in the solar system, so he has secured a genital mounted lasgun. This weapon has the profile of a normal lasgun from the Imperial Guard Codex but everytime it is fired the controlling player must also mention about how big own junk is. If your opponent or any observers make comments such as "You wish!" or "You're just compensating!" you have the right to hit him in the head with a pipe wrench (which has been included in the kit when purchased).
Ed Hardy Tshirt: this does not confer an armor save, but rather gives all of your opponent(s)'s models Preferred Enemy: Commander All Y'all
Special Rules: Feel No Pain, Independent Character, Fleet, Fearless, Eternal Douchebag (See: Eternal Warrior),
UHMURICA! YEAH!: At anytime the controlling player may insist that all people in the immediate vacinity stop and listen to him as he sings a song about the amazingness of Commander All Y'all's home country, Uhmurica.
Screw this! I'm too cool for this ! I'M OUT!: At no point in the game may Commander All Y'all be deployed onto the field of play
I wear my sunglasses at night: Commander All Y'all does not suffer any penalties from Night Fighting.
"This is like, top secret man.": You may choose to not show or explain any of these rules to your opponent. If he keeps asking, make sure that you call him a pussy and make him drink one can or bottle of the worst, watered down beer available lest his manhood be in question.

Screw this! I'm too cool for this ! I'M OUT!: At no point in the game may Commander All Y'all be deployed onto the field of play
I wear my sunglasses at night: Commander All Y'all does not suffer any penalties from Night Fighting.

Fluff: Commander All Y'all is awesome.
Picture here, if you're man enough to look. Still a WIP.
don't get too jelly.
For those of you who cant understand this: Pretty much an Imperial Guard Commissar who is tougher than usual but has no save and has some wierd wargear.

Carnifexes are not passive lurkers, like gaunts or Lictors. Once Hive Mind connections are severed, it goes into an unstoppable rampage that only a Baneblade or Fortress could withstand. Maybe. And a Boy could never in a million, trillion, a killion years would ever be able to kill, let alone chain up and lead around, a carnifex. I don't care how much jest or alcohol went into this. This is idiotic.
Actually, what if something came between the Hive Mind and the Carnifex, both severing it's link and replacing it with its own? Something like this was done in Starcraft with Hive Mind Emitters. It basically replaces the Overmind/Kerrigans link to that Zerg creature and allow the controller of the Emitter to command the Zerg creature.
Considering how random the Orks are, I wouldn't be surprised if this both happened on accident and worked because the orks believed it would.
Fluffy could quite easily be controlled by "Da 'Ive Mind!" courtesty of large metal probes being inserted into its brain, and the other end into a Mek (or Doc)'s Brain, mounted on its back with some gubbinz! In a beautiful mashing of Ork and Beast that no mother could love. Not that either has an excess of brain matter to share but combined it'd be deadly (or eat alot of fungus)
Soon his foes would learn that the only thing more dangerous than a savage three hundred pound brute is a savage three hundred pound brute with a plan - Ork Codex

Thats all part of the fun, lose 12 boyz but wipe out the enemy? All's good.

I just got a mental picture of a Carnifex with a hat and a large antenna sticking out of it, and a Mekboy riding it with a similar hat and antenna.
Wargear: The Emperor's Twinkie, Customized Pintle Hand, Lasgun crotch, close combat weapon, frag grenades, Ed hardy tshirt.
The Emperor's Twinkie: Works just like the Deathstrike missile found on page 55 of the codex except that it may be fired once every turn with unlimited shots. It also is Barrage, Pinning, Rending, Assault 1. In addition to these effects, whenever an opponent looses a model to this attack you may give him a wedgie (Once per turn)
Customized Pintle Hand: Having the amazing ingenuity that he does he insisted that the Techpriest Engineseers must graft the excess pintle-mounted weapons from a Chimera onto his hand. The adepts of Mars did so at once, seeing the ingenuity of doing so and crafted it the most powerful ammunition available. This weapon may be fired in addition to all other weapons:
Range: 0.5" to 120" S: 6 AP: 1 Melta, Pistol 6
Lasgun Crotch: Commander All Y'all also wanted everyone to know he has the biggest "gentlemen parts" in the solar system, so he has secured a genital mounted lasgun. This weapon has the profile of a normal lasgun from the Imperial Guard Codex but everytime it is fired the controlling player must also mention about how big own junk is. If your opponent or any observers make comments such as "You wish!" or "You're just compensating!" you have the right to hit him in the head with a pipe wrench (which has been included in the kit when purchased).
Ed Hardy Tshirt: this does not confer an armor save, but rather gives all of your opponent(s)'s models Preferred Enemy: Commander All Y'all

Seal up your lips and give no words but mum.
Equip, Reload. Do violence.
Watch for Gerry.
In regards to Fluffy, perhaps that boy had just a smidgin of psychic power, manifesting in the form of a very weak synapse-like aura. to weak to take a nid away from the hivemind, but strong enough to hold on to one who was already disconnected?

until they die. The flipside of that is that the fluff for a creature doesn't have to be bullet proof, just needs to be enough to let someone else field it against them.
