I figure a squad of 5 gives you: 5 markerlights, 30 twinlinked s5 shots, and 10 seekers. I was thinking of using other marker light sources to launch their seeker missiles after the drones have moved behind ranks and jinked for a 2+ save.

But is it worth the points and the FW price?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6883902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6883902.page GMT Remora Drones Having Deep Strike is very useful for an aircraft, because it can appear behind other aircraft/vehicle/hidden important unit.

However, remoras are NOT very efficient.
A single one is criminally so, a pair is pointless, a trio is getting into casual levels only.

Once you hit the 4-5 members in the wing, you got yourself a decent team. but its a bit too big for your average game as its a massive point sink.


In the end-fun unit, but not great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6884301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6884301.page GMT Remora Drones

Does deepstriking them put them in hover mode when they enter or can they still be considered to be zooming. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6884395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6884395.page GMT Remora Drones

AFAIK, it can come as zooming. DS vehicles count as moving Combat Speed. No other info is given regarding this topic.
I believe there isn't any other DS Flyer in the normal codexes anymore; only some FW stuff retained it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6884963.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6884963.page GMT Re:Remora Drones FW models for Tau the Barracuda is nice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6888085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597808/6888085.page GMT
