Not sure why it took me so long to post this cause now I lost the tread.

One one of the other threads relating to Tau, someone made it sound like a Drone with Markerlights could move, shoot its markerlight and make its jump move.

Is this correct? If it is - were is the rules for it as I am not seeing that anywhere....

It's Jet Pack Infantry, which grants it the Relentless special rule, so yes, Marker Drones can fire their Heavy weapons after having moved (without it being a snap shot).

I'm not sure if they still get to make their Thrust move, because the Thrust rules all refer to "Jet Pack Units" rather than individual models.

Interceptor Drones can disembark at any point during the Sun Shark's move (even though models cannot normally disembark from Zooming Flyers).

But if you take a drone squad full of marker drones, toss in a commander with a drone controller, you can jsj all over the field with your silly amount of relentless, bs5 markerlight shots...
