Codex: Creepers part I

I made a codex of just a few pages that are supposed to be used as allies for Tau. The codex is based on selected units and options from the Eldar codex, so it is completely "legal" as far as values and point costs go. They would probably not be welcome in any tournament though...

Here's the story:

The ratmen had been living alone and undisturbed for many millennia, when a deamon from below emerged, proclaiming that it was time for them to watch the stars. The first ones to oppose the at the time seemingly insane idea where slain by the beast, silencing others. Quietly they followed, up and up, until the deamon broke the roof of the world with it's strange weapon. The people of the underworld had been let loose, now forced to accept a new destiny for themselves. They stood in the middle of an open wasteland, all gazing silently upon the star sprangled sky above.

The beast led them to a new home in the mountains, waging war against all that stood in their way. The beast was their king now, and no one dared question his demands. It was not until a blue alien being ascended from the stars that the bloodthirst of the beast could be calmed. The creature came with new ideas, a new purpose, that was appealing to the deamon. The ratmen and the blue ones would join forces, reach for the stars, and conquer them.

The models below are Veer-myn from Mantic games.

Next time we'll take a look at the HQ options and some other units.
