Hiya, was just contemplating the impending end of building and painting my Tau. I'll have about 3k when finished, to mix and match with.
Anyway I was considering purchasing a droneport to give a bunch of pathfinders some groovy 4+ cover. I thought that 4 marker drones might be fun, firing at the same target as the pathfinders to help cascade or increase BS on rail or ion stuff from the pathfinders. To be honest the Idea of flying saucers full of Tau appeals greatly. Fairly moveable in a terrain heavy environment, not as big a target as a gunrig, and more versatile i feel due to drone options, also, like Piranha, once you deduct the cost of 4 drones from the points, it is the cheapest fortification available to Tau.

I'm sorely tempted. Please reply with thoughts or experiences.
