For 300pts the Moray should have either 2x 75cm 3+MW attacks or 1x 45cm 3+ TK (D3).
Anything else just makes the thing not worth taking. There are pages of debate about this that a simple search of the Tau forums can attest to.
For Remora Drone Fighters, Mark_Logue and I used these stats:
Quote:
Speed - Fighter
Armour - 5+
Weapons - Twin-Linked Burst Cannons 15cm AA6+
Notes - Reinforced Armour (to represent the Stealth Technology), Markerlights
We wanted to emphasize the Markerlights rather than the Seeker Missile attack (as both seemed a bit over the top).
In an Armoured List that removes Pathfinders and relies more on Drone technology, these Remora Drones with Markerlights might help fill the Markerlight gap and keep the theme going.
We trailed it in a few games at 2x Remora Drones for 100pts (with a max of 1 Remora formation per 1500pts). That seems very cheap to me now but I don't remember it unbalancing our test games in a major way.
Another way to help represent the dependence on Drones could be to include Markerlight Towers as per the fluff in the Taros book. We used this formation in playtest games:
Quote:
Markerlight Sentry Support Group 1 Tau Markerlight Tower and 3 Tau Sentry Turrets. Upgrades: None. Cost 125pts
Markerlight Tower - Light Vehicle
Armour - 6+
CC - 0
FF - 0
Notes - Markerlight, Fearless
Tau Sentry Turret - Light Vehicle
Armour - 5+
Weapons - Twin-Linked Missile Pods 45cm, AP4+/AT5+
CC - 0
FF - 5+
Notes - Fearless
I'm not necessarily asking for it's inclusion but putting it out there as it might help differentiate this list a bit more from 6.4.
Cheers,
Steve.
