Hi everybody

Been looking around on the forum without finding any threads which suit my inquiry (think its spelled like this).

The new rules indicates that a jetpacker is relentless, and may so fire a heavy weapon after moving. A nice thing for marker drones and sniper drones (though the spotter may not fire if he moves/)

BUT

The 5'th FAQ from GW states in the very last Q and A that a model without a Stab. System may not move and fire a Heavy weapon.

Which rule is the correct one???

They are both correct. Drones do not count as having Jetpacks unless the model with the controller has a jetpack. This means that Drones with Crisis Suits or Stealth Teams are Relentless, but Drones attached to Broadsides and Sniper Drones are not. The clarification is there to explain that taking a Stabilization System on a Broadside will not effect the drone.

The only non-vehicle models in the Tau list that can fire Heavy Weapons and move at present are Marker Drones attached to Stealth or Crisis Suits.

Thx for the quick reply, but I thought that a drone always comes equipped with a jetpack a therefore is per say a "Jetpacker"??

[Circus Freak]

Nope. It's the same unit type as whoever it's attached to.

Again thx for the response. I now consider myself the more wiser)

Well it depend which drone you are talking about.

As stated: Wargear drone (gun, shield, marker, sniper) that the same unit type as their controller.

Whereas: Independent gundrone (fast attack choise) are jetpack infantry.
