===Tarellian Sand Stalker=== The Tarellian Sand Stalkers are the elite of the Tarellian military. While the Dog Soldiers sell themselves for the sake of revenge and the Hunting Bikers ride for the sake of glory, the Sand Stalkers hunt the great beasts of the Tβros deserts that threaten their colonies on the arid planet. Rarely seen by the Tau diplomats to the Tarellian colonies, the few Water caste that have seen them describe them as tall and lean, standing a few inches higher than an average Tarellian, with scales the colour of the desert sands and long barrelled sniper rifles slung over their backs next to their ceremonial Claw Swords. While their regular duties keep them busy on their new colonies, a few Sand Stalkers are found with every group of Dog Soldiers, acting as general group leaders. They are responsible for making sure that each soldier gets his pay and equipment, and if he dies, that his family gets his belongings. On the battlefield, the Sand Stalkers fight almost completely opposite to the fervent rage that fuels the Dog Soldiers they watch over. Acting as cold snipers, they assassinate enemy commanders as the Dog Soldiers and Thunder Walkers wreak havoc on the front lines, only using their ceremonial swords if the enemy draws close, or they need to secure a sniping position silently. They take great pleasure in killing Imperial [[Commissars]] after they have performed a summary execution on their own men, using such tactics to sow fear and confusion in their enemies with extreme efficiency.

They are immediately considered locked in combat, with their opponents acting at Initiative 1 for that turn only. Execution Confirmed β Whenever an Imperial Commissar or Lord Commissar uses the special rule Summary Execution within range of a unit of Sand Stalkers, one model may make a Leadership test. If successful, that model may make a shooting attack against the model preforming the Summary Execution. If the Commissar is killed in this way, his unit must make an additional Leadership test on its unmodified Leadership against the condition that Summary Execution would have negated. Any model that uses this rule cannot fire in its next shooting phase.
