Editing Codex - Tau Auxiliary 8th edition (section)

==Tarellians <span style="color: red"> '''WIP''' </span>==
One of the many Alien Auxiliaries employed by the Tau Empire in its efforts to bring the philosophy of the Greater Good to the Galaxy, the Tarellians joined the growing empire out of a deep-seated rage at the Imperium of Man for virus bombing their home world to extinction, before a Tyranid Hive Fleet consumed their remaining major colonies. Accepting the offer of the Greater Good out of desperation at the chance to exact revenge upon the Imperium of Man they were quickly brought into the Tau Empire and given the chance to repopulate on several Sept worlds.

Called Dog soldiers by the Imperium due to the shape of their snouts and ears, the Tarellians more resemble large bipedal reptilians, covered mostly in rust coloured scales, with slitted pupils, they find themselves at home on desert planets where they construct their unique sonic weapon technology out of the unique minerals found in the sand of the sept world of T’ros.

Whilst not fiercely loyal to the Greater Good, whenever a conflict with the Imperium or a Tyranid Hive fleet happens, large hatches of Tarellian soldiers gather at the nearest port hoping to join the conflict so that they can take some measure of vengeance on their hated foes.

Tarellian combat doctrines differs radically from the normal Tau combat doctrines; rather than fight their foes at range, or employ stealth and ambush tactics, Tarellian forces will rush towards their foe shooting at the weaker looking enemies until they crash into their opponents battle-lines, where they fight with the short, but lethal hunting daggers that each Tarellian soldier carries with him until they are either dead or their foe is fallen, before moving on to the next enemy force.

===Special rules Tarellians <span style="color: red"> '''WIP''' </span>===
'''Overwhelming Hatred:''' If two targets are equally close, and one of the two is either Imperial or Tyranid while the other is not, the unit must fight the Imperial Unit.
'''We Will Have Revenge:''' If fighting models with the <Imperium> or <Tyranid> keywords, give your model an additional attack when in melee combat.

===Elite: Tarellian Sand Stalker ''??? Points'' <span style="color: red"> '''WIP''' </span>===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
"Graaa! Kill them all! For Tarrelia, and the T'au!" --A common Tarellian war cry, Author unknown
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Tarellian Sand Stalkers are mighty melee infantry, who lumber into battle with powerful sonic weaponry. Before the destruction of their homeworld, Tarellians wanting to earn the title Sand Stalker would train for years, before setting out to kill a predatory Sandworm with nothing more than a bone sword. After killing the Worm, they prove themselves worthy of the honor of building their own blade, called a Claw sword, made from the hardened teeth of the worm.

In the abscence of their homeworld, they now replace the Sandworm with either a space marine or a greater Tyranid bioform, using either the armor of a Tyranid or Space Marine to fashion new blades. In this way, the tradition persists. However, it is not only a title. Even to this day, Tarellians are deployed to surprise Tyranid, Ork, and Eldar forces that dare oppose the might of the T'au Empire, andonly these noble warriors can carry the mighty Disruption rifles, weapons of which they have great skill with.
