3 Battlesuit Systems + 100 Points from the Armoury. He can take 3 weapons if he really wanted.

1 Weapon. No it doesn't change if it moves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/827116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/827116.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/827170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/827170.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs Pg 76, BRB:
Models with the Jet Pack special rule are Relentless
Relentless models can shoot with rapid fire and heavy weapons counting as stationary.
If you have a multi-tracker, you may fire two weapons.
The most you can fire at a time is 2 weapons, and if equipped with 3 weapons you generally are wasting the points on the third. However a few people have been equipping their Crisis with 3 weapons (PR + MP +Flamer) so that you can fire your flamer at enemies who get too pesky.

As an example:
In the common 'Fireknife' crisis setup, (Plasma Rifle/ Missile Pod/Multi-tracker) you would get 1/2 PR shots (depending on range) and 2 missile pod shots, whether moving or stationary.
With a Fireknife-6 setup (TL PR, MP, HWMT) you get 1/2 re-rollable PR shots, 2 MP shots. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828721.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs

Sorry, but the Tau Suits have their own special rules for the jet packs. Only the Drones follow the BRB Jet Pack rules IIRC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828846.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs

Nope they get the same Jet Pack rules. Unless you're thinking of Broadsides and their heavy weapons, but they don't get jet packs anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828854.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs

Yep found it this time, didn't notice that before. But, I don't think the normal suits have any heavy weapons anyway ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/828894.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs

Umm...don't have my codex on hand but i don't believe that stealth suits have the stipulation about not behing able to fire heavys and moving like the crisis suits do. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/829144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/829144.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs

Marker Drones follow the Normal Jet Pack Rules, not the suit rules, and Stealth Suits CAN Move and Fire Heavy Weapons. Crisis Suits cannot, 1) because it says they can't and 2) Because they can't take Heavy Weapons anyway!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/829272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/829272.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs

Not sure if this is true but i'm pretty sure that jet packs weren't Relentless in 4th and they wanted to make crisis suits fire their rapid fire weapons so they gave them this special rule that allowed them to fire rapid fire weapons as if they hadn't moved. Then in 5th they just added in the relentless to jet packs but we don't have a 5th codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/829809.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/829809.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs USR, but shares the same name, you go with the codex.

Is it rule lawyering for grotesques to use their FNP instead of the normal one?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/830658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247488/830658.page GMT Tau battle suit Qs BRB.
