Whilst the Tau are busy designing the prototype of their shoddy Magna-Rail Rifle knock-offs that could only be fitted on a [[XV88 Broadside Battlesuit]], the Leagues are already mass producing these things millennia before the Tau even existed.

The League's Magna-Rail Rifle is designed as the primary sniper rifle of the Squats and is small and compact enough that it does not need an external powersource or a mech suit to power it up. The Squat's extensive knowledge and experience in rare magnetic materials make sure that the League holds all the good shit. If the similar development relationship between the Tau and the Squats in regards to this weapon is certain, then it is possible that the history of the Magna-Rail Rifle is similar to the Tau's own relationship with Ion weapons vis-a-vis the Squats.

So whenever the Tau manages to get their Magna-Rail Rifles working, it would already be several generations behind that of the League. [[Just As Planned]].

On the tabletop, this translates to a 24" HunTR 1, S9 AP-4 Dd3+3 sniper rifle, and has the Magna-Rail keyword. [[Rape|Everything ridiculous about Tau railguns turned up to 11 and in a troop-portable package]]. Fills a similar role to the high strength/low shot weapons seen in other armies such as melta-guns and las cannons.
