===HQ: Old Mountain Hide - ''190 Points''=== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> ''No Fury Like the Mountains Fury'' <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> One of the oldest Anthrazod elders, "Thoom-Aroosh-Teen-Gun" or "Eldest Living Mountain" has worked with the Tau Fire Caste for most of his known life. He first came to attention of the Fire Caste commanders during an Ork invasion of the asteroid mining platforms of the Gri-Lok Asteroid Field, where he, alongside his mining crew held back an invading force of Orks with only their mining tools and natural strength. When the Fire Caste embarked on the plan to drive back the Ork infestation, Mountain Hide and his mining crew decided to go with the Fire Warriors on the initial counter-strike However the initial plan failed, the confusing layout of the Orks Rok base dividing the squads, and the extremely high EM Density of the asteroid interfering with their communications, leaving each squad to function individually, something that had not been planned for. When the Ork forces led by Warboss Arashk Rok-Crusha found Mountain Hide's squad they had already suffered critical losses and were planning on just taking down as many Orks as possible rather than extraction. Rok-Crusha seeing the chance for "a damned good brawl" with the Anthrazod miner decided to challenge him to a fight, planning on taking the miners gore coated tools as a trophy, what he didn't expect was the ferocity with which the miner fought, which brought the Warboss down despite Mountain Hide suffering multiple gruesome wounds in the short, but brutal, melee. With their warboss brought down, the Ork Warband's morale dropped down, and the surviving Tau managed to find a spot where they could call for reinforcements, allowing a Hunter Cadre to establish a Foot-hold which allowed them to sweep the Rok, exterminating the Orks with Fire and Plasma. For his actions in the initial combats, and personally taking down the Ork Warboss, Mountain Hide has been included in the Fire Caste as an honorary Shas'El and granted access to experimental weaponry when he is called to battle, but despite all of the experimental gear he is given he still weilds his old pickaxe, which has gone through a multitude of upgrades to make it truly battle worthy. </div> </div> {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 align=left |- valign=top !
