I was wondering about the Targeting Array and what it does. I got in an argument saying that the 5 points go with the transport and not each indivdual infantry model. It states something like this (can't use exact words for copyright issues) a new technoledgy used by vechile mounted targetting networks grants user +1 Bs up to 5. It does not state the points in the infantry armory, but the vehicle armory. In the vehicle armory it says it increases the vehicle's Bs up by 1 to a max of 5. So first of all does it mean that for 10 points that I increases my mounted FWs Bs up to 5 or is it 5 points per model? Second if yes to the first question then do I have to but a T.A. for the vehicle+the squad or do I have to pay seperately? If so would you recomend getting a T.A. for my transports? Also does the HH Targeting Array help with my FW squad or not (I think not but decided it was worth asking). Last of all what would you recomend for my transports and my Hammer Heads. I allways have at least 1 railhead with a switchable for my second so I coul have a railhead or ionhead. My upgrades so far are multitracker, T.A. for devilfish if it is a yes to my questions and for my HH a multitracker and SMS, thinking of possibly switching it with pulse carbines.

1st. You may only have one targetting array per transport. The maximum a devilfish(the only tau transport outside of fw fliers) BS can be is thus four.
2nd. It affects the transport only, NOT the passengers. Note that this is even true for the drones. On a vanilla DF, this means only the burst cannon is upgraded. 3rd. Posting exact point costs of upgrades is bad. 4th. Please proofread. Please. 5th. TAs are fine upgrades, even with only a burst cannon. I really suggest decoy launchers, though, as a DF is a great vehicle, but getting it downed with troops inside can put a serious crimp in plans. Other than those two, I leave them as is, but the warfish config is also popular(a quick search should find detailed tacticas and the like) 6th. For increasing squads BS in the way you seem to want, try markerlights.

I'm using Tau Empire codex, it is on page 28 you can go check it out. They don't list points, they just write a small article, it is really easy to miss.
What you do over email is your affair, but don't discuss it on the forums. - Khanaris |

They don't have it in the infantry armoury. They have it in the Battlesuit Armoury. It does look like it is in the Infantry Armoury, but it is not. If you start at page 25 all the definitions of the actual item will take you to the top of page 28, (where it might look like it is the Infantry Armoury but it is not).
You can only purchase one per vehicle or battlesuit. What the "grants the user +1 BS, up to BS 5" means, if you had a marker light and used it's +1 BS, the vehicle would max out at 5 with the TA. You can't exceed a 5 BS. |

There are 2 types of TA's.
One is the Battlesuit variant (listed on pg. 25) which is only used by the battlesuit equipped with it. The other is the Vehicle variant (listed on pg. 30) which is only used by the vehicle equipped with it. The only wargear open to infantry is in the Infantry Armoury on pg.28 in that box in the middle of the page. If it's not listed under Infantry Wargear you can't equip it on your infantry models. Just because the description of the TA is on the same page does not mean it's part of the Infantry Armoury. It is part of the Battlesuit armory, and was put on pg. 28 because that's how far the descriptions for Battlesuit wargear go. Past that, most infantry models do not have access to the Infantry Armoury, only Shas'ui team leaders and Ethereals do. Quote:

Orange covered it. The Vehicle Target Lock has absolutely nothing to do with a unit being transported. It is in the infantry armor because Crisis Suits can take them.
