TAU.31H.01 – Q: Can Marker Drones accompanying a Crisis or Stealth suit fire its markerlight on the same turn the unit moves?
A: Yes [RAW].

Ok - so what am I missing here? Markerlights are a Heavy 1 weapon, and I can see nothing that allows drones to move and fire with heavy weapons. Can anyone point me to the section that indicates that Marker Drones can move and fire with Heavy weapons?

On this, I cannot see the logic of that ruling. I've read (and re-read) the entries for Markerlight, Drones, Crisis suits, stealth suits.... couldn't not find how the RAW support this FAQ ruling.... maybe someone can clear this up?

Crisis Suits have Relentless, as they are jet pack troops

Drones have the same unit type as the unit they accompany

Drones therefore have relentless.

Thank you. That was the link I was missing.

Yep. That's what I get for not verifying Jet Packs.

To add in page References to what Nos pointed out:
Page 31: Codex: T'au Empire, in the Drones Box where it says "Unit Type: As owner".
Page 52, BRB, The "Jet Pack" box.

So yeah, Marker Drones with Crisis and Stealth can move and fire, but those with Broadsides and Infantry Cannot.
