Drones specializing in...well...[[Derp|reconnaissance.]]

Yet another toy for Pathfinders, the Recon Drone takes the bold step of giving squads organic heavy weapons -- well, a [[burst cannon]] isn't any more powerful than a [[pulse carbine]], but it puts more shots downrange.

All Recon Drones are somewhat larger than standard mobile Drones in size, and this is primarily due to the specialist equipment they carry.

The Recon Drone also gets commended for its utterly [[Herp|silly way it looks]]. Seriously, it would have been far more cooler if it just mounted the burst cannon by itself, but the tau just had to add in the weird cylindrical object making it extremely bottom heavy and causing some to [[PROMOTIONS|say it resembles more like a butt plug.]]

It comes with some other toys for bringing in reinforcements, like a homing beacon and a positional relay (read: bubble of no-scatter for [[Deep Strike]]rs) letting Pathfinder units nearby it or a Devilish it is embarked on to ignore cover when shooting, in this way they are still able to use their support technologies whilst being transported during missions.

A Homing Beacon is a multi-spectrum homing device that, when activated, allow the Hunter Cadre's reinforcements to deploy with pinpoint precision, whilst a Positional Relay is a device that records detailed battlefield data and relays it in a tight-band, encrypted radio burst to Tau assets in orbit, allowing them to better coordinate forces operating in strategic reserve.

But seriously though, [[/d/|please don't actually use it as a butt plug.]] [[Slaanesh|Unless]] [[Emperor's Children|of]] [[Dark Eldar|course...]]
