Troll of Games Workshop America announces the following new releases:

Aun'Va - Master of the Undying Spirit

Aun'Va - Master of the Undying Spirit
It is said that Aun'Va is the oldest and the wisest of his caste. He has counseled the greatest leaders of the Tau for longer than any can recall, and his hand can be seen at work behind much of Tau history. He is the most senior Ethereal upon T'au, sitting upon the councils that rule not just the sept but the entire empire. His word is heeded by every member of his caste, for his counsel has ever proven wise and true.

But Aun'Va is not merely a spiritual leader, for history is replete with instances of him leading the Tau expansion from the very leading edge of conquest. His presence gave the Fire caste the will to rid the Si'coa system of the hateful Reek, his words sending them into a righteous rage. Upon the flanks of Mount Scion he pronounced the fate of the Orks of Waaagh! Grognik — a sentence that was efficiently enacted by ten thousand Fire Warriors.

Aun'Va stands as supreme Ethereal within the newly won septs of the Third Sphere, Shadowsun ever loyal at his side. Across half a dozen new worlds, a million Fire Warriors and many more colonists stand ready to sacrifice all upon a single word of their beloved Ethereal, the Master of the Undying SpiritAun'o'T'au'Acaya'Va'Denta.

Aun'Va is a Special Character. He may be used in Tau armies of at least 1,500 points as an HQ choice.

Part Code: 99110113018

This boxed set contains Aun'Va and two (2) Bodyguards. All models are supplied unpainted and require assembly.

Boxed Set - $30.00 USD

Tau Piranha

Tau Piranha
The Piranha is a lightly armored vehicle used by the Tau in a range of capacities including rapid response, support of Pathfinder Teams, and even as battlefield transport for high-ranking dignitaries. By upgrading the vehicle to carry a Fusion Blaster or a pair of Seeker Missiles, it becomes an effective tank hunter, particularly when guided to a target by Pathfinder Teams.

You may field a Piranha team of one to five Piranhas in your Tau army as a Fast Attack choice.

Part Code: 99120113009

This boxed set contains one (1) Tau Piranha. All models are supplied unpainted and require assembly.

Boxed Set - $25.00 USD

Vespid Stingwings Boxed Set

Vespid Stingwings
The Vespid provide auxiliaries to Tau armies, who value them for their skill at negotiating dangerous ground at speed. They make ideal mobile reserve or flanking troops, though the Tau rely on the communion helm issued to the Strain Leaders to communicate with the Stingwings and coordinate their actions.

The Stingwings evolved in a harsh climate, and they are well equipped to prosper in their homeworld's lethal atmosphere. Chitinous wings carry them aloft upon the cold, gusting winds, and diamond-hard claws provide the means to tunnel within the rock of sky-borne islands covered in stalactites. The weapons carried by the Stingwings represent a technology unique to Vespid. Mounted at the barrel of each is a highly energetic and unstable crystal harvested from the lowest levels of the largest islands. At such depths, the atmospheric pressures create bizarre crystal formations. The Tau have provided the Stingwings with the technology to mount these weapons upon advanced and highly efficient neutron containment and projection systems, making them amongst the most deadly weapons of their type.

The Stingwings have proven themselves of great use to the Fire Caste, which values the aliens' speed and agility as well as the lethality of their weapons. The Stingwings are often integrated into Hunter Cadres that are configured as fast-moving, highly mobile forces, where they act as scouts alongside infiltrating Pathfinder Teams. Vespid have also been deployed as reserves for Cadres with a high number of Crisis Teams, their speed and maneuverability allowing them to respond to orders and react to threats with astonishing speed. It is a great compliment that the Fire Caste regards the Vespid Stingwings as skillful and reliable allies, an honor yet to be paid to the mercenary Kroot of Pech.

You may include a Strain of Vespid Stingwings in your Tau army as a Fast Attack choice.
