EnterRehab Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Per the Tau codex, the unit shooting can't use their markerlights.. So the squad shooting markerlights is still shooting at BS1. They still follow the snapshot rules for blast/template weapons.. Mathematically, 1/6th of the shots should succeed. How many shots are they wasting to get markerlights on a unit, then have to blow an entirely other units shooting phase. So? Pathfinders and Marker Drones don't care. They'll spam every marker they have into your Deathstar anyway, then start boosting. Also, you forget the broken Support 'O combo, where you put a Command XV8 with re-rolls and a drone controller attached to a cloud of Marker Drones. They normally hit things on a 2+ with re-rolls, and even when Snap Shooting it's still a 1/3 chance to land a marker hit. The link I found referenced 6th edition. I thought it was referencing the 6th edition codex- but it may be referencing the 6th edition rulebook FAQs. Can't access blacklibrary from work, so I'll investigate this evening to be sure. Will update this post when I get the relevant (or irrelevant) data. I've already checked dude. There is nothing in the Tau or main rulebook FAQ in the current 7th edition versions. You're just gonna have to deal with the clear writing in the Tau codex, which states you can boost Snap Shots using marker hits. I'm totally cool with it. Besides, there aren't any tau players at my FLGS. I went through and definitely confirmed it was a 6th edition rulebook thing.

I have three local players, with a fourth getting into the game by building 5 RIPTIDES. :( kill me now Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301041-aggressiv-and-defensiv-inquisition-gk-combo/page/2/#findComment-3936522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionicman Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Maybe they will change to Necron pretty soon... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301041-aggressiv-and-defensiv-inquisition-gk-combo/page/2/#findComment-3936802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
