This is probably the best use of a skyray - 2 more markerlights. Unfortunatly due to its limited ammo it is hard to want to take more than 1 expecially since it is compeating against hammerheads and broadsides for those HS slots. I think it has a place in a mech tau list where everything is very fast, but (at least in my list) i leave it at home and bring more Str 10.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/750449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/750449.page GMT Skyray Effectiveness? HH or broadsides, I'd love to see it moved to the fast attack section or given unlimited seekers either would make it a competitive choice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/751340.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/751340.page GMT Skyray Effectiveness?
Against biker units (attack bikes and nobz in particular) the skyray does well at cutting them down early in the game.

I wouldn't advocate it's use without without also having a couple of pathfinder units in the army though.

Instead of thinking of the skyray as a down-gunned railhead think of it as an upgunned ionhead. St8 ap3 is othwise lacking in the tau arsenal.

Wow that was rambling even for me. I think my coffee has worn off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/751380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/751380.page GMT Skyray Effectiveness? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/751403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/751403.page GMT Skyray Effectiveness?

Thats definitely one half of it. But those 2 markerlights, as overpriced as they are, are like crack for suit based tau.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/752338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/752338.page GMT Skyray Effectiveness? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/752473.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242550/752473.page GMT
