Marker Drones

[Timbo]

Sorry to ask a Tau question in this day and age;)

Can a marker drone attached to Crisis suits move and shoot? In the Tau codex it says Crisis suits cannot move and shoot heavy weapons but in the BrB it says all jet infantry are relentless.

Crisis suits cannot move and shoot heavy weapons, however A) this was b4 relentless rule and B) drones are not crisis suits they are just jet packs, when attacthed to crisis, so they can move and shoot, TBh only good thing about stealthsuits is that a unit of 3 can have 7 markerlights, albeit at near 200 points

That makes sense. Cheers.

The best way to think of it is that the suit itself allows your to move and fire rapid fire weapons and not count as moving (as it is the suit which also gives the acute senses rule), whilst the jetpack provides the relentless rule. So a drone would get relentless as a jetpack user, but not acute senses.

Sounds great.
