The Experimental Technologies that may be taken are as follows
:- Photon Cannon (Range 60", S:10, AP1, Heavy 2, Ignores Cover, Power of the Sun) (Power of the Sun: This weapon contains a stable Nuclear Fusion Reaction with the same intensity of a star, when used a against Non-Vehicle Targets this weapon counts as being Heavy 2d6, however should the wielder of this weapon be removed as a Casualty place a 7" Blast Marker centred on the wielder's last position, every model under this Marker suffers a S:10, AP 1, Ignores Cover, automatic hit) ''60 Points''
:- Fuel Rod Cannon ( Range 24", S:6, AP3, Salvo 2/6, Irradiate) (Irradiate: Whenever a model suffers an unsaved wound from weapons with the Irradiate special rule, it immediately rolls a Toughness test. If it fails, every model in the unit suffers a permanent -1 to their Toughness. This effect stacks with itself and with similar effects such as that caused by Imperial Rad Grenades. If these effects would cause a model to reach Toughness 0, it is removed as a casualty.) ''40 Points''
:- Tachyon Marker (Range 48", S:-, AP-, Heavy 1, Target Acquired Permanently) (Target Acquired Permanently: If a unit is hit by this weapon it gains a single Markerlight token that can be used by any friendly unit to increase their BS by +1, until the end of the opponents Assault Phase, this Token may be used once by each friendly unit per shooting attack.) ''50 Points''
:- Entropic Deflection Field - The Entire unit gains a 3++ invulnerable save ''75 Points''

=== Heavy Support - Swordfish Heavy Gunship - ''200 Points''===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Swordfish gunship is a Tau vehicle that is a relatively new addition to the Fire Caste’s armed forces. Its design is based on the familiar chassis of the Hammerhead and Devilfish. The Swordfish's defining feature is the huge, twin-linked Railgun mounted on its turret, which makes it extremely effective at eliminating enemy armour at great range.

It was for this explicit role that the vehicle was originally developed by the Tau, after the sometimes painful encounters by the Fire Caste with Imperial armour and heavy armour during the Damocles Gulf Crusade. The Swordfish was not designed as a replacement for the Hammerhead gunship, but instead as an addition to the Tau vehicle arsenal that could take on exceptionally well-armoured, super-heavy targets. However, the Swordfish vehicle design is not yet fully developed and the vehicle does suffer from several minor deficiciences, especially during extended campaigns. This is because the Swordfish requires an extensive amount of maintenance and repair or refit after each engagement. However, its impressive fighting capabilities make up for this drawback.

(An old/Discontinued Tau Unit from Epic Apocalypse/Chapter Approved, there are a lot of Homebrewed Swordfish on the internet, so it shouldn't be too hard to design or make your own)

===Heavy Support - Stingray Scatter Missile Gunship - ''220 Points''===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Stingray missile gunship is a Tau vehicle that serves as a potent ranged anti-infantry weapon. The vehicle was developed to break up the waves of Orks rampaging through the Tau region of space in the wake of the Damocles Gulf Crusade. A single large warhead, similar to the simple shell used by Imperial Earthshaker Cannons, was first considered by the Tau as a possible solution to the problem of dealing with massed infantry assaults. However, this was determined to be less effective than a modified Seeker Missile, with a large number of Smart Missiles loaded into the payload bay.

The resulting weapon was first fielded on modified Sky Ray air defence tanks. The first field tests proved promising, but revealed shortcomings in the vehicles used for the test. First among these was the sheer size of the new missile, which made the carrier vehicle extremely dependent upon resupply during extended combat. A new turret was then developed that could carry more missiles, but this required changes to the basic hull such as the reduction of protective armour plating to allow the unit to keep up with Devilfish and Hammerhead formations.

This new version of the vehicle that would become the Stingray was significantly less dependent on resupply during battle, and the larger turret allowed refinements to the missile itself, increasing the number of Smart Missile submunitions.

===Super Heavy - Tau Scorpionfish Super Heavy Missile Gunship – ''660 Points''===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Scorpionfish super-heavy missile gunship is a Tau super-heavy skimmer first deployed in the wake of the Damocles Gulf Crusade.

The Scorpionfish was developed as a response to the surprise of Imperial super-heavy tanks faced during that conflict and later engagements, and considerable effort was expended by the Earth Caste to develop a counter in the form of the Tau’s own super-heavy gunship. Lacking any other large vehicle as a basis, the Orca dropship design was modified with additional heavily armaments and armour, effectively reducing its mobility to that of a surface-bound skimmer. This variant was to become the Scorpionfish missile gunship and it carries no less than a full complement of Submunition, Seeker, Tracer and Smart Missiles, as well as direct-firing Missile Pods.

It has no single main weapon, but rather acts as a platform for a number of smaller systems, enabling it to engage any type of threat it encounters. This flexibility has proven to be a major asset in recent Tau campaigns. Whilst the Scorpionfish may be slower than the majority of Tau units, its skimmer capabilities mean that negotiating difficult terrain normally is not an issue. In battle, Scorpionfish normally form part of a stout firing line at the back of a Tau force, anchoring its defences.

(Once again, an old/Discontinued Tau Epic Armageddon Model, this is another popular one, but there is no agreed upon look for it, so choice is up to you)

:'''Special Rules'''
* Restock – Should a Scorpionfish Super Heavy Missile exhaust its supply of Seeker, Submunition Seeker or Tracer Seeker Missiles, it may leave the table by any edge other than the opponents edge, and enter ongoing reserves. It then returns to the table at the beginning of the controlling players Movement phase, with all missiles fully restocked.
* Light It Up – Any model underneath the Large Blast Template of a Tracer Seeker Missile generates a number of Marker Tokens according to the Cluster Fire Special Rule, Tracer Missiles may be Fired at Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures, but lose the Large Blast Special Rule when being fired at such targets, these Markerlights are not considered Networked and cannot be used by the model that fired the Tracer Missile(s), no saves may be made against the hits generated by a Tracer Missile.
* Cluster Fire – Most models hit by a Tracer missile generate 1 Marker Token, but any model with the Bulky or Very Bulky Special Rules, or the Bike/Jetbike, Artillery or Cavalry types generate 2 Marker Tokens, while Models with the Extremely Bulky special rule, or the Monstrous Creature, Flying Monstrous Creature or Vehicle Unit type generate 3 Marker Tokens.
* Chain Reaction Detonation – Should this vehicle suffer a result of ‘Explodes’ on the Vehicle damage table rather than losing 1d3 Hull Points as a normal Super Heavy Vehicle, it instead loses 1d3+2 Hull Points, and a number of missiles equal to the Hull Points lost.
