I mean Split-Fire isn't that great, but it still gives you some options to not dedicate as much to get one extra Markerlight here or there. Jink is awkward, but remember, if you're trying to buff other drones, it's good to have and even if they do Jink, they simply go to the same hit rate as Pathfinders that have moved.
Now here's a weird question, why is it that the Mont'ka has these better drones with enhanced AI? Sure, it could be that they had more need, but has the Tau Empire itself been holding back its AI until it can make it more stable, and the Mont'ka is simply unleashing it a bit too much? I mean the AI in the Ghostkeel is basically Tau Waifus, so they clearly understand what the risks are of it.

Markerlight rules doesnt specify Shooting Phase/Assault Phase, so it can totally work during the "Intercept Phase" if you wanna call it that.
Imagine being able to Intercept a D Missile from a Stormsurge at a Dreadnought Droppod's cargo (which is allowed to charge from reserves) or strip the cover off a Termie blob for Riptide/ SS pi platey goodness.
Jink is nice since its a backup plan, even though its not a great one since snapshots, but you can always shoot at a flier if there is one next turn.
Really dont care about the other rules they get. Splitfire is a joke compared to Target Locks lol

I don't think that's the case, Farsight has always been rather naive, even about his demon blade. I'd think of it as more of something the Ethereals are worried about but not exactly any other Tau that are more optimistic. It could just as easily be the FSE going "Wait, why is this restricted? Let's remove this lock and see what happens.".
I think Jink is pretty amazing, especially if only one drone is left in the squad after fire, it makes it that much easier to keep it alive to buff the other drones in the army. It honestly sounds mediocre, but it feels like one of those abilities that can be stupidly good since people probably don't want to derp around with 1-2 jinking drones.
Edit: Not to mention that selective targeting on a squad that is mostly out of LoS can make very good use of Jink.

The TE codex explains that Drones run in large groups are smarter due to their ability to network, yet GW forgets to add an actual Drone formation in the TE codex. Mon'ka corrects this oversight.

That explains the collective targeting data buff, which is common in any robotics field, or even calibration of non-robotic objects. Artificial measuring objects don't generally have a sense of spacial awareness, you have to calibrate them to some extent at least, and the more angles the more accurate.
The Enhanced Tactical Response, now that's different.

Have you people even read my post about the pathfinders after the first five words?
I said clearly that the pathfinder win is MARK PER POINT. not durability, not suitability. MARK PER POINT.
Sometime, that counts.
Also, you keep taking the drones in formation, and the pathfinders not in formation. the pathfinders have some nasty formations (as I noted) of their own, and even with the drone network the non-formation pathfinders MARK better. they don't survive as much, they don't move well, but they MARK better.
And thats a considiration when making lists.
And I'm not defending my own here or anything, I don't employ pathfinders, I employ tetras in my CADs and now drone networks too. I personally value the mobility and durability over the raw mark power. (also, I don't run broadsides often, and don't own that many so RSC is out for me and I have no piranha for the IC)
But I appriciate the fact the they are still up there in the list of best marker units, and competing for the top spot, if only for being so cheap for how many marks they put down, and that unlike any other marker sources-they got backup weapons in case you don't need a mark right now and rather shoot something. (or for self defense)

Since the formations from Mont'ka can be fielded in any Tau army, I don't think the VX1-0 Drone Net is reflective of a difference in technology or AI between the Tau Empire and Farsight Enclaves. Instead, the different drone auxiliary formation choice between the Hunter Contingent and the Farsight Enclaves Dawn Blade Contingent illustrates different reliance on Drones.
Why would the Farsight Enclaves rely more on drones than the Tau Empire? Lacking the manpower of the Tau Empire and following the Tau'Va's teachings that no life is expendable, the Farsight Enclaves may prefer to use large drone networks where the Ethereals would instead employ Tau Fire Warriors in a war of attrition. This view is supported by the page from the Tau Codex on Farsight's rebellion; the Ethereal's willingness to sacrifice countless Tau lives in the name of the Greater Good is one of the reasons Commander Farsight chose self-imposed exile.

Yes, if all we consider are how many points you need for a Markerlight, then Pathfinders are slightly cheaper as they cost 11pts instead of 14pts, that is the only advantage.
Now what do you mean by "They mark better"? You said multiple times that they mark better, but what do you even mean by that? They have the same BS as networked drones, but no ability to move and shoot, so clearly the drones mark better.
As for formations, the Pathfinder Formations all require other things in addition to the Pathfinders, the drones do not, so when comparing the two alone you can use the drones in formation, but you can't use the Pathfinders in formation as then you'd have to include the other units, which would complicate things a bit much outside of direct list comparisons.
Honestly, Pathfinders aren't one of the best Marker sources, they're probably one of the worst, only second to taking Markers on squad sergeants. Tetras, Drones (especially in network, but with a Mark'O works too), and Skyrays are significantly better sources. I'd say the Remora and other formations are probably better too, but they're not as dedicated Marker sources as the previous three.

Are suicide fusion Crisis suits a thing? If so, what options do you take on them to make them do their job? I was thinking of taking one, putting 2x fusions, Shas'vre upgrade, and the PEN chip to give it tank hunter. Make absolutely sure that tank dies. That solo suit comes in at like close to 80 points, which is expensive for one dude, but considering many Marine players spend 125 points on a unit to do a similar job (5 tac marines in a drop pod with melta and combimelta), maybe not too bad.

Solo deepstriking suits are pretty common, either plasma or fusion. Plasma to counter termies and fusion for armor.
I wouldnt waste the PEN chip though. Two meltas usually kill any vehicle dead even without a couple marker supporting shots, and if it doesnt your dice hate you. Typically when my solo fusion bomb fails to kill his target is because i scattered like hell not because i missed/didnt roll 5+ lol.
Remember Tank Hunter doesnt reroll the pen table, which is what counts, it rerolls the 2D6 pen. Unless its a Land Raider or you scattered to a bad face, you need some BAD dice to not pen a vehicle on S8+2D6 lol.
Usually i put a shield gen on him. Debating taking that off and just adding in AdvTargets for sniping potential, since usually i dont even get the shield (or i fail it anyway)

I run two in my Ret Cad, they're just 1x Fusion Blaster and 1x Twin Linked Fusion Blaster, if I need to really kill something I can always invest Marker Lights or use the Dawn Blade special rule.
For 58 points getting two meltas, one being twin linked, on that body isn't that bad. The Low Altitude Deployment also helps since it buffs them the turn they land and helps pick off the tank. If you're still worried you can deep strike both on the same target for a ton of melta at not that many points.

I've been playing around with Drone heavy Monats, either CiBs or Fusion, with two Gun Drones and a Target Lock. This is of course supported by a Drone-Net, so the Gun Drones are BS3 base before markers. Using one of the Drones as the DS marker nets a smaller footprint for scatter, and lets me place the Crisis closer to the target if the scatter drifts in the wrong direction. The TL lets the Drones dakka infantry while the Crisis busts vehicles or monsters. Been using this build on my three Crisis from the Ret Cadre, which is pretty flexible for the points.

To be fair that report (in Nov 2014) is the 6th Edition Eldar codex. No scatter bikes (and none present in your battle report anyway) and, Wraithknight which was significantly easier to kill and significantly less deadly - you could sniper it to death, it didn't have stomp or FNP. I routinely would one-round them with Sniper Drone teams also but that tactic no longer works. I'm surprised by how ineffective your opponent's shooting was - my experience with 3+ Waveserpents in 6th was much worse. Although your opponent did have a stupid amount of points invested in that useless 'death star'.
I guess it shows that if both players aren't running competitive lists then the game is more balanced and more average units can be realistically fielded.

I wasn't talking about that. Lol. Nothing I directed you to included that other than as an example. My point was, and is, that pathfinders are effective and that batrep you're referring to (for some reason) had nothing to do with my recent victories, which I was referring to.

Monat suits have always been popular in some circles because they can take an objective and cost near nothiing, are dangerous enough to kill something and too dangerous to leave unattended forever (if the enemy has armor) so they expend too many points killing its inexpensive cost.
Some people do not like them becaue in KP missions they feel it exposes them to a loss but when you consider that they can be kept off the board somewhat until the enemy capacity to kill them has diminished, the value of it rises. So its a risk reward thing you have to gauge for yourself, but there are pros and cons for it. Perhaps not as hearty as one would prefer in such a gambit but certainly can be an embarrassingly effective return on investment. Automatically Appended Next Post: DirtyDeeds wrote:

No. the link was just an example. it is an older battle report. but it illustrated how to use them. But that is one of a hundred games they've been in so focusing on IT and not on the usage is a mistake.

Ah alright, got more like that with the current Eldar? I'm curious of what changes had to happen to tackle it as a GMC. I've never really even looked at pathfinders tbh, I just like drones better but this sounds like a different role that they can't really do.

Yeah I am almost done re-painting some of my Tau and new Tau. But I am close and then I will do more. I have been playing a lot of Night Lords. Militarum Tempestus and Dark Eldar in the meantime (sprinkled in games with my Eldar air force as well)
The Tau Empire are my truest love.

anyone ran the supremacy suit? I'm figuring out a decent list at 1500 and have no idea what would work with it.
clues!

I do not own one nor have I played with or against it, but on paper this thing is a beast (and dare I say Titan level overpowered in normal gameplay). If you really want to play this beast at 1500 points, you won't make any friends. But I guess you could fill your list with mobile elements since you DON'T want thing thing locked in combat. I know it's a super heavy and won't die, but you need it to shoot every turn at that point level.
