They cost 160, cannot have an invulnerable save, and are patently terrible in melee. However, they are really quite obnoxious to shift. I think you’ll find a good use for them. They don’t have the mobile push threats to credibly attempt to flip multiple objectives to their control on a single turn. But, as always, I’m going to end on a positive note. Good fortune comes and goes in 40k, and factions are seldom particularly weak for a long time. The Fire Warriors of the T’au Empire prefer to engage their enemies from a safe distance, cutting them down from afar with withering salvoes of pulse weapon fire. Their weakness has always been getting caught in melee, so the further away they can be from their targets, the better off they’ll be. Fire Markerlights (Action): One or more Markerlight units from your army can start to perform this action at the start of your movement phase. Aircraft Markerlight units can perform this action. The action is completed at the start of your next shooting phase. If this action is successfully completed, for each model in that unit that is equipped with one or more markerlights, for each markerlight that model is equipped with, select one enemy unit within 36″ of that model that would be an eligible target for that model if its unit had been selected to shoot, and roll one D6: on a 3+, that enemy unit gains one Markerlight token.

When you have enough firepower at your disposal to terrify Imperial Knights, you’ll want to make sure that your shots hit. The Earth Caste couldn’t agree more, and Stormsurges are thus equipped with retractable anchors to absorb the massive recoil. By deploying these in lieu of moving, pilots can significantly improve their accuracy. If you selected a Tactical Philosophy at the start of the battle, T’AU AUXILIARY units that are in the same Detachment as units with this tenet benefit from your army’s selected Tactical Philosophy.
Complete at beginning of your next command phase or end of battle, whichever comes first. If successful, relay is Installed. Points awarded for number of relays installed

RR1 support for non-Core is gone from the codex, so the Ion feels REAL dicey, as they still give 1 MW per 1 rolled, rather than a single MW IF a 1 is rolled at all. Darkstrider can usually be found fighting alongside elite cadres of Pathfinders, performing covert vanguard missions of sabotage and subterfuge. Hi there. Picture should prove my credentials. I promised not to give out more pictures, so I won’t. On the same front, I promise not to lie or embellish anything and to keep my personal commentary to an absolute minimum on any information I pass along. Accordingly, the Mont’ka Tactical Philosophy rewards decisive action in the first three turns, allowing its warriors to rapidly advance into enemy lines and blaze away with powerful close-range firepower. The steady gaze of the Ethereal reminds those of the Fire Caste that there lies within the heart of every storm a zone of silence that remains serene even as fury rages all about it. So inspired, they apply themselves to their assigned tasks with hard-eyed calm even as they continue to hammer the foe with unrelenting firepower.The Drone rules have likewise been heavily rejiggered- Drones are once again part of the unit that they are bought for, but do not count towards unit strength, Look Out Sir, morale, actions, and are never ObSec. Drones on vehicles are likewise now more of an afterthought- they still give the vehicle their weapons, but are destroyed when it does. The old uses of drones (sacrificing themselves to take a wound for a nearby unit and detaching, respectively) are still available via stratagems, but the strong flexibility of Drones as a whole has been significantly downgraded in this book. With that said, however, they are still a very useful thing to have around and you can expect most lists to field at least a small complement of them- but the days of swarms of 50+ drones are probably over. There is virtually no reason to choose Strikes over Breachers right now- and considering the two units are otherwise identical in statlines and cost, this bodes poorly for Strikes. Unless some drastic changes are made to their points cost or weapon profiles, they are unlikely to have much of a place in games of 9th Edition, because they are exceptionally ill-suited to the way the missions want to be played. They are little to plain and too boring, especially that they miss two phases (psychic as they have nothing to do and meleeas there is no true assault unit for that role in their roster – i know, i know, this is because their fluff). They can use Point Blank Volley (Pulse weapons are Pistol 2) if… like, somebody charged you as a joke or you want to waste a CP

The artefact world of Arthas Moloch was little more than a devastated wasteland when the Farsight Expedition arrived. Yet the T’au recovered a number of strange relics there, amongst them a hexagrammatic talisman. Farsight has seen first-hand that this arcane object protects its wearer and those around them from baleful energies, though neither he nor his advisors have the faintest idea of how it does so. No. they didn’t bother to give us generic Longstrike, Shadowsun, or Darkstrider that can be used with any sept (and aren’t as good). Why would they give us what amounts to Brood Brothers? This system lies firmly in the grip of a tyrannical regime, which must be defeated and the fear of it broken before victory can be achieved.Add 2 to the Military Power of this star system’s Core World. Like most Tau units, Strike Teams benefit from the For the Greater Good rule, allowing them to fire overwatch for nearby units. They also have the Bonding Knife Ritual rule, which means a result of ‘6’ on a morale test passes automatically. The T’au Empire is a beacon of innovation in the otherwise luddite 41st Millennium, constantly developing new and tremendously powerful weapons, evolving its tactics, and bringing new worlds under its sway.
If you selected the Mont’ka Tactical Philosophy at the start of the battle, then at the end battle rounds one, two and three you can score each of the following:
