I think Gw should make a fast support option for Tau instead of having the drones as a squad give us a unit that create drones. The one in the video game is the drone harbinger it's a devilfish that creates units of drones. The Nids have the Tervigon why are they the only 1s that can creat units. This is what it would look like

200pts
Has burst cannons but can upgrade to smart missile system for 20points

Creates units on a roll of 2d6 any double rolls of 1 and 6 cause a fire in the drone harbringer controls causes a glancing hit to the tank and halts all creation of units for the rest of the game and the units are still created

100point upgrade drones created are selfsuficent sniper drones with same rules as sniper drone squads but reduces unit creation from 2 d6 to 1 d3 and using a 6sided dice 1or2=1 3or4=2 5or6=3 on the six sided dice any roll of 1 causes failure in the system

Front armor 12
Side armor 11
Rear armor 10
Balistic skill 3

This should go in the proposed rules section. Your grammar is also kind of rough, please work on it.

This unit is interesting, but honestly just a killpoint farm for anybody else. At least the gaunts can be buffed by Tervigons to be more effective. Not the worst idea ever.

Give it a specialized markerlight(s) that can only be used to buff the BS of drones?

Excuse my grammar I'm not the best speller. Markerlights would be nice and that could be an upgrade to the weapon system 2 separate markerlights and a target lock for 30points. I tryed to make not to OP but I think the sniper drone cost is 2 high make it 50points, so that it's 280points instead of 330. For max upgrades minus wargear which disruption pods are a must lol

I think even 280pts is wayyy too high for this. 200 would be sufficient.

The tau use safe weapons, see their plasma rifle. There would be no chance of having the mobile drone factory catch fire.

It should only make gun drones, maybe heavy gun drones at best. Anything else would be too good.

Actually the necrons have the tomb spyder, which can create scarab swarms. They need to stick with the spyder, but there you go, another unit creating more models.
