Re: Marker lights
They are quite effective, since the targetted unit is denied a cover save, and is hit on a 2+ by one unit. Im going to use them with my fusionflamer crisis suits, instead of twinlinking their weapons. And maybe together with a hammerhead, if the target is important enough.

Re: Marker lights
An interesting strategy for marker lights.
Get a large number of Human Auxillaries, give each unit of them a marker light, move to 12'' rance... rapid fire, shockingly this tore an entire 10 Marine Tactical Squad to ribbons in one turn, I wasn't ready for those puny little gaurdsmen-tau to do that much damage and... they did.

Re: Marker lights
Marker lights are great except that the whole squad has to fire at the markerlighted unit...i think

Re: Marker lights
Well, i find the best use of a marklight is to be used in conjunstion with weapons with multiple shots, i.e. burst cannon, or SMS. And the fact that they negate cover saves is great, I almost got off an sub-munition round off on some guardman in cover with a marklight, but i got a bad roll of the dice

Re: Marker lights
As I understand it, the markerlight ignores cover, not the weapon it is supporting.
However, I could be mistaken...

Re: Marker lights
Wait, explain how a marker lighter works again, the model using it needs to hit the target with a ranged attack, correct?

Re: Marker lights
Yes. If you score a hit, then one model may benefit from that Markerlight.

Re: Marker lights
Really, it seemed to me that the entire squad that was connected with that model benefited from it?

Re: Marker lights
The ruling is if you're marked with a markerlight then NO cover save when your shot with the weapon that is hitting with a 2+ because they know exactly where you are
