So-Spada, Master of the Trackless Wastes

	As the Tyranids continued through the ravine, they encountered more resistance: Sand Stalkers perched high on the cliffs with their specialised rifles, far out of the reach of any ground-based enemy, supporting troops of Dog Soldiers whose rage drove them on despite horrifying injuries. But one by one these resistances failed; Gargoyles plucked the Stalkers from their perches as Mawlocs tore through the cliffs, collapsing the hidden tunnels that they used to escape. Genestealers swarmed over the Dog Soldiers, drowning them in bodies and blood, and still the Tyranid horde pushed forward until all that lay between them and the last of the refugees was So-Spada himself, the White Stalker. He had escaped the collapsing tunnels of the Mawlocs, and fought his way free of the hordes of Genestealers.

He had escaped the collapsing tunnels of the Mawlocs, and fought his way free of the hordes of Genestealers.

	Stepping forward, So-Spada spoke a single word, not heard by the Tarellians behind him, and not understood by the ravening hordes before him, before the wall of Tyranids surged forwards to meet him. For a single day, So-Spada held the door to the temple of Agrona, the bodies of the Tyranids he killed piling around him as his ceremonial swords swept left and right, the blades tearing through whatever lay in their paths, the dull steel creating patterns of light in the air as they deflected blasts of bio-plasma from their wielder.

	Finally, covered in wounds, his flesh blistered, his bones broken, So-Spada fell to his knees as the unending hordes of screeching Tyranids closed in for the kill. Suddenly, a deafening crack was heard, and the wall of Tyranids that filled the ravine was being blasted apart in white-hot flashes of blue light as figures clad in yellow armour descended from huge gunships hovering in the air over the canyon. Strange weapons with strange-sounding reports blazed this way and that, cutting bloody swathes through the mass of creatures until none of the wretched things were left alive.

	~~I couldn~~'~~t think~~ of ~~any lore for these guys~~, ~~feel free~~ to ~~make some up for yourselves if you want~~.		Originally used to hunt down prey on their homeworld and colonies, these powerful bikes have found an ever growing popularity among the Tarrelians on the wastelands of T'ros. Their mighty engine propell them forward, carrying powerful and deadly disruption cannons to tear any unfortunate enough to be in range of them to pieces.

			When they have closed into melee range, they use horn lances to pierce even the armor of the mighty space marines, even running over them. In the end, the Tarrelians do not care where the blood of an Imperial or Tyranid flows from, so long as they get to spill it upon the ground.

	One of the many Alien Auxillaries employed by the Tau Empire in its efforts to spread the philosophy of the [[Greater Good]] throughout the galaxy, the Tarellians work for the growing Empire out of a deep-seated rage at the [[Imperium of Man]] for virus bombing their home world. Their race was then almost driven to extinction when a [[Tyranid]] Hive Fleet consumed their remaining major colonies. Accepting the authority of the Greater Good out of desperation, they were quickly employed by the Tau Empire and given the chance to repopulate on several sept worlds. While not fiercely loyal to the Greater Good, whenever a conflict with the Imperium or a Tyranid Hive fleet occurs, large hatches of eager Tarellian soldiers gather at the nearest port, hoping to join the fight so that they can take some measure of vengeance against their hated foes.
