Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Tau (section)

====Drone Profiles====
Basically every non-Auxiliary unit has access to drones. Even some flyers and forts have them. Drones are now part of the unit that bought them, meaning you can allocate wounds on them as normal, without having to roll or anything. Being mixed units, they have some rules that detail how they interact with their host squad:
*'''Valued Sacrifice:''' Drones are meant to be expendable even if they do have self-preservation routines. In mixed units, non-Drone models ignore destroyed {{W40kKeyword|Drone}} models for morale purposes. The opposite is not true, so don't hesitate to put them in harm's way to keep other Tau safe.
*'''Artificial helpers:''' {{W40kKeyword|Drone}} models are ignored for Look Out Sir, determining a unit's starting or half strength, or determining a unit's average toughness if the unit has non-Drone models. Thus a 6-tau Crisis squad w/12 drones has a starting strength of 6, and is wounded by bolter shots on a 5+, while Fire Warriors are wounded on a 3+.
*'''Limited parameters''': Drones are never ObSec, and can't do any actions on their own other than Fire Markerlights.
Characters, infantry units and battlesuits can often bring at least up to 2 drones, of either the Markerlight, Gun or Shield varieties. These three are collectively referred to as "Tactical drones". Vehicles often have '''Docked Drone'''s, mostly of the Gun variety. This means the drone's weapons are used directly by the vehicle as a single model (and can't take wounds on the vehicle's stead), and thus aren't really on the tabletop until undocked via the '''Designated Tasking''' stratagem, if at all.
*There are many different types of drones, all detailed on their respective entries, but almost all drones use the basic statline of M10” WS5+ BS5+ S3 T4 W1 A1 Ld6 Sv4+.  "Almost all" means:
**Advanced Guardian Drone (Commander Shadowsun)
**Command-Link Drone (Commander Shadowsun)
**Grav-Inhibitor Drone (Pathfinders)
**Guardian Drone (Strike Teams and Breacher Teams)
**Gun Drone
**Marker Drone
**Missile Drone (Broadsides)
**Pulse Accelerator Drone (Pathfinders)
**Sniper Drone (Firesight Marksmen)
**Stealth Drone (Ghostkeels)
*Shield Drones and Shielded Missile Drones (Riptides) are M10” WS5+ BS5+ S3 T4 W2 A1 Ld6 Sv4+, i.e. they have +1W relative to baseline.
*Recon Drones (Pathfinders) are M10” WS5+ BS5+ S3 T4 W3 A1 Ld6 Sv4+, i.e. they have +2W relative to baseline.
*Interceptor Drones (Sun Sharks) are M20” WS5+ BS5+ S3 T4 W1 A1 Ld6 Sv4+, i.e. they have +10M relative to baseline.
