On the front page is a tau aircraft for epic/Arenotica Imperialis. If anyone is familiar with this design can you tell me what it does? I know the other varients are a railgun or a Ioncannon and drone carrier.

Not familiar, exactly, but the Tiger Shark has been around for a while in Imperial Armour. I think it is basically a heavy fighter/drone launcher.

It's in Tactica Aeronautica, I can't remember exactly what it's capable of, but yeah, it is essentially just a Remora Drone Launcher if I recall.

It says what the name is AX2-2. It's just a Tiger shark with drone launch capabilities.

It's a Tigershark C&C variant. It provides a reroll for the Initiative at the start of the turn as well as being a Mothership for a couple Remora drone fighters. If she goes down, the Remoras go slowed (but can still fly/fight).

There's also a similar Manta variant which kicks out a swarm of Remoras. The Tau can replicate the Chaos swarming tactics with loads of Remoras, which tends to annoy your opponent to no small extent.
