If GW were to introduce new TAu auxiliary models, which ones should they introduce? Galgs? Nicassar? Hrenian?

**Co'tor Shas**

Dermiug. Lots of potential there, besides, they're space-dwarves.

How is this for Background?

**Vankraken**

Tarellians would make for what I would hope to be tougher assault weapon type units that aren't afraid to get into close combat with a squishy or wounded enemy.

Gue'vesa could make for some cannon fodder infantry or maybe have some Greater Good fanatics that can bring a bit of fury and possibly suicide assault tactics to the Tau.

Also this would probably go better in the general sub forum as its less about background and more about model releases.

My mistake, but I can't move it, I'm not a mod

**Co'tor Shas**

If you report the thread and say something like "Wrong forum, should be in GD" the mods will probably move it.

**dusara217**

Ok, thx

The Demiurg are definitely something GW could work with. (They do owe us space dwarves, after they took the squats). Something else I would like would be to expand on the Kroot, there is a lot of possibility you can do with the race, and I personally can't get enough of them. (View profile for prood)

**chaos0xomega**

Nicassar can't enter gravity wells, so they're out.

Demiurg aren't space dwarves, at least not physically speaking.

**Co'tor Shas**

Actually, most of the concept art does make them space-dwarves.

**chaos0xomega**

you'll note that it is unused concept art, meaning that it doesn't really matter, and that any/all official/published descriptions of the species are left purposefully vague.

**Co'tor Shas**

But it's the only description we have, so we use it. Just how nissicar are floating polar bears.

Floating polar bears

I do want an army of Floating polar bears even if they are called Nicassar

**Ghazkuul**

Demiurg 100% its the only race not represented in the Tau codex that have a HUGE fluff presence. They basically gave the Tau most of the tech they possess.

**Co'tor Shas**

Well, just ion weapons, but true for that. The demiurg use them as mining lasers,

IIRC, one of the reasons they are allied with tau is that the tau were able to come up with a cure for a disease that the demiurg had that slowly turned them to stone. That would make for some awesome looking models, those who got it before it was cured so have parts of their body very stone-like.,

**Vector Strike**

Demiurg, Nicassar, Tarellian, Gue'vesa. The others are too small to get models for now.
