Markerlight help

[manacycler]

Ok, I finally got enough money to buy a tau battleforce, so I got the codex early and read up on their armory and then I got confused.

How does a markerlight work? Like I know it allows for higher accuracy, but how long does it last? It says it stays til the end of the shooting phrase or until they are used...so what does that mean?

Also, give me any other tips on the use of markerlights.

You happen to have the codex?


Markerlights, if a model has it.. it can either use its gun, or the markerlight.

You choose the model you want to 'markerlight'. Roll to hit. If it hits, put a markerlight counter on the model.

Then in the Codex, there are about 4-6 different things you can use the markerlight counter for. Once you choose 1, the effect will happen, but the counter will no longer be used. Hence having a lot of markerlights for more counters is a great idea~

soo one marker counter per pulse rifle shot?...that doesn't sound very useful unless I divide my troops 50/50 between markers and guns.

...ok fine, I found the info on the internet, pirating is a way of life! Without it, half of today's movies wouldn't have existed.
