 Re: Tau snipers?
OK here is the Deal...
Pathfinders come with a transport called a devilfish. The one draw back about the Tau is that all their vehicles look similar, so there transports look like their heavy tanks, therefore your opponent is going to blast every thing biger than a bread box out of the sky.
Makerlights are like laser targeters that todays armed forces use. The marker lights have a 36" range and you roll to hit just like with a weapon, however if they hit they don't actually kill anything, they just give you specail abilities. Really good abilities, but abilities none the less.
I personally love path finders with rail rifles. They have a good rage St. 6 great AP and they pin units. So what you do is you use a marker light on the unit that you want to shoot with the Rail rifle then you shoot with your rifle and kill guys there for causing a pinning test.
I would look at including both Path finders and Sniper Drone teams in your army if you are a sniper fiend. They both have great aplications and you can flesh out your army with enough Fire Warriors and Crissis suits were the enemy won't know what to kill first.
Hope this helps,
