'''Marker drones''' are modified gun drones that carry [[markerlight]]s for their squad (why the lazy bums couldn't carry their own markerlights is anyone's guess). They're more expensive than [[Tau Pathfinder|Pathfinders]], but they can tag along with whoever is controlling them (which means, if they run with [[battlesuit]]s, they can <s>jump-shoot-jump</s> fall back from melee and still shoot as drones are basically independent [[jet pack]]s).

Unlike most Drones, Marker Drones aren't dumb. This is due to the feat of Earth Caste engineering.

The artificial intelligence of Marker Drones increases when they are networked together into squadrons, greatly increasing their processing speed and capability for independent action. This is to the point where a couple of Marker Drones can literally say, "I'm a strong, independent Drone who don't need no Tau!" and be completely right about it. Seriously. They are also capable of impressive tactical feats, and operating independently for long periods of time without the need for close supervision.

Marker Drones attached to a Tau [[Stealthsuit Team]] are always upgraded with stealth field generators, which allows them to operate without compromising the Stealthsuit Team's own ability to remain undetected.

Like the regular Gun Drone, the Marker Drone can be roided up and become even tougher. The '''Heavy Marker Drones''' are the same size as Heavy Gun Drones but, replace one of their Burst Cannons for a Markerlight.

Like the Grav-Inhibitor Drone, <s>fuck these guys too.</s> {{BLAM| The Ethereal caste tires of this consistent propaganda on this website. Such Kor'vesa shall not be insulted in this way.}}

Fun fact for the banal people: There are three variants: The Stealth variant, which has a more complex antenna and simpler markerlight (see above), the Line variant, which you will see in basically every box for T'au, and the Pathfinder variant, which has a slightly larger markerlight. There is no difference in stats otherwise.
