Force Rules

Philosophies of War: Read here -> (Codex: Tau Empire p92)

Selection Rules

Ambushing Predators: At the start of the first battle round, models in this unit can make a Normal move of up to 7". They cannot end this move within 9" of any enemy models. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Artificial Helpers: DRONE models are ignored for the purposes of:

- The Look Out, Sir rule.
- Determining this unit's Starting Strength, and whether this unit is below Half strength.
- Determining this unit's toughness characteristic, if it also contains models without the DRONE keyword. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

Battlesuits: BATTLESUIT models in this unit can make attacks with ranged weapons even when their unit is within Engagement Range of enemy units, but they can only make such attacks against enemy units that they are within Engagement Range of. In such circumstances, these models can target an enemy unit even if other friendly units are within Engagement Range of the same enemy unit.

Note that if a BATTLESUIT model has more than one ranged weapon, you can still choose to target units that are not within Engagement Range of its unit, but it will only be able to make the attacks with that weapon if all enemy units within Engagement Range of its unit have been destroyed when you come to resolve these attacks. In addition, when a BATTLESUIT model shoots a Heavy weapon, subtract 1 from the hit rolls when resolving that weapon's attacks while any enemy units are within Engagement Range of that model's unit. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Docked Drones: If this model is docked with another:

- Any weapons this model is equipped with are considered to be equipped to the model it is docked with instead.
- Attacks cannot be allocated to this model and it does not count as a model on the battlefield for any rules purposes.
- If the model it is docked with is destroyed, this DRONE model is destroyed as well. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

Inspired to Greatness: In your Command phase, select one friendly T'AU EMPIRE CORE or T'AU AUXILIARY unit within 6" of this unit's ETHEREAL model (excluding FARSIGHT ENCLAVES units). Until the start of your next Command phase, while that unit is performing an action, it can make ranged attacks without that action failing. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Limited Parameters: If this unit contains only DRONE models, this unit cannot perform actions (excluding the Fire Markerlights action, page 93) and loses the Objective Secured ability if it has it, and cannot gain it through any means. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

Manta Strike: During deployment, if every model in this unit has this ability, you can set up this unit in a Manta hold instead of setting it up
on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Markerlights: Units in your army can perform the following action:

'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.'

While a VEHICLE or DRONE unit is performing the Fire Markerlights action, that unit can move without the action failing. If it does, until the end of the turn, models in that unit without the VEHICLE or DRONE keyword that are equipped with any markerlights are treated as not having been equipped with markerlights for the purpose of the Fire Markerlights action.

Each time a T'AU EMPIRE unit (excluding T'AU AUXILIARY units) is selected to shoot:

- Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack against a unit with one or more Markerlight tokens, add 1 to that attack's hit roll.
- After that unit has finished making attacks, for each enemy unit targeted by these attacks, remove one Markerlight token from that enemy unit.

At the end of your Shooting phase, remove all Markerlight tokens from enemy units. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Valued Sacrifice: Each time a DRONE model in this unit is destroyed, it is ignored for the purposes of Morale tests if this unit contains models without the DRONE keyword. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

        - Set this unit back up on the battlefield, anywhere that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
        - If the mission you are playing is using the Strategic Reserves rule, place this unit into Strategic Reserves.

Force Rules

Philosophies of War: Read here -> (Codex: Tau Empire p92)

Selection Rules

Ambushing Predators: At the start of the first battle round, models in this unit can make a Normal move of up to 7". They cannot end this move within 9" of any enemy models. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Artificial Helpers: DRONE models are ignored for the purposes of:

- The Look Out, Sir rule.
- Determining this unit's Starting Strength, and whether this unit is below Half strength.
- Determining this unit's toughness characteristic, if it also contains models without the DRONE keyword. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

Battlesuits: BATTLESUIT models in this unit can make attacks with ranged weapons even when their unit is within Engagement Range of enemy units, but they can only make such attacks against enemy units that they are within Engagement Range of. In such circumstances, these models can target an enemy unit even if other friendly units are within Engagement Range of the same enemy unit.

Note that if a BATTLESUIT model has more than one ranged weapon, you can still choose to target units that are not within Engagement Range of its unit, but it will only be able to make the attacks with that weapon if all enemy units within Engagement Range of its unit have been destroyed when you come to resolve these attacks. In addition, when a BATTLESUIT model shoots a Heavy weapon, subtract 1 from the hit rolls when resolving that weapon's attacks while any enemy units are within Engagement Range of that model's unit. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Docked Drones: If this model is docked with another:

- Any weapons this model is equipped with are considered to be equipped to the model it is docked with instead.
- Attacks cannot be allocated to this model and it does not count as a model on the battlefield for any rules purposes.
- If the model it is docked with is destroyed, this DRONE model is destroyed as well. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

Inspired to Greatness: In your Command phase, select one friendly T'AU EMPIRE CORE or T'AU AUXILIARY unit within 6" of this unit's ETHEREAL model (excluding FARSIGHT ENCLAVES units). Until the start of your next Command phase, while that unit is performing an action, it can make ranged attacks without that action failing. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Limited Parameters: If this unit contains only DRONE models, this unit cannot perform actions (excluding the Fire Markerlights action, page 93) and loses the Objective Secured ability if it has it, and cannot gain it through any means. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)

Manta Strike: During deployment, if every model in this unit has this ability, you can set up this unit in a Manta hold instead of setting it up
on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Markerlights: Units in your army can perform the following action:

'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.'

While a VEHICLE or DRONE unit is performing the Fire Markerlights action, that unit can move without the action failing. If it does, until the end of the turn, models in that unit without the VEHICLE or DRONE keyword that are equipped with any markerlights are treated as not having been equipped with markerlights for the purpose of the Fire Markerlights action.

Each time a T'AU EMPIRE unit (excluding T'AU AUXILIARY units) is selected to shoot:

- Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack against a unit with one or more Markerlight tokens, add 1 to that attack's hit roll.
- After that unit has finished making attacks, for each enemy unit targeted by these attacks, remove one Markerlight token from that enemy unit.

At the end of your Shooting phase, remove all Markerlight tokens from enemy units. (Codex: Tau Empire p93)

Valued Sacrifice: Each time a DRONE model in this unit is destroyed, it is ignored for the purposes of Morale tests if this unit contains models without the DRONE keyword. (Codex: Tau Empire p94)
