Famous Tau Ethereal Aun'shi

Superbly painted Tau Aun'shi, armed with Honour Blade, hard-wired sheild generator, and standing on a scenic base. An excellent model to represent a Tau Ethereal, or the brilliant and honourable Aun'shi.
When used as a Tau Ethereal this model has an Honour Blade which increases his Strength to 5, equal to the mighty Tau battlesuits. So inspiring is the Ethereal's presence that all Tau units may re-roll any Morale checks. This ability alone is a steal at 50 points as it greatly emboldens your entire force. Additionally any units joined by an Ethereal is so swayed by his presence that their belief in the Greater Good becomes unshakable and the unit becomes Fearless.
When used to represent the revered Aun'shi this model is even more impressive. In addition to the inspiring presence of an Ethereal, Aun'shi brings the prowess of a Blade Master to your force. He may use any of his attacks to reduce the number of attacks an enemy model gets against him. Furthermore Aun'shi is so skilled with his Honour Blade that any roll of 6 to hit automatically wounds his foe and denies them any armour save.
This figure, designed by Tammy Haye, was a challenge to paint. I enjoyed bringing out the musculature and clothing on this figure, because of Aun'shi's long service with the Fire caste I added several scars and fresh wounds on the figure. I am quite pleased with his unique Honour Blade and the golden sheild generator. To make him stand out even more and accent his prowess I added a dead first company Black Templars Space Marine to his base.
