=====Units===== Note that two of your characters can be taken by any Sept, so they've been moved out to the general unit discussion. All of the units below are HQs. *'''[[El'Myamoto_(Sub-commander_Darkstrider)|Darkstrider]]''': For his statline, he's a Fireblade with +1Ld, +1W, +1M, and -1WS/BS (i.e. he's more accurate). Equipment-wise, he has his own Fireblade version of a Pulse Carbine he insists on calling "Shade" because he's even more weeb than a normal weeb; it's literally just a 24" Assault Fireblade Pulse Rifle. He also has a normal markerlight and no drones at all. For his abilities, he's kept his old Pathfinder ones, so he has 7" Scout move and can take the Markerlights action at the end of the Move phase instead of the beginning. His remaining abilities are bespoke. His compulsory WT is the one for autoadvancing 6" and being at -1 to be hit. **'''Structural Analyser''': In your command phase, pick a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|TAU SEPT CORE}} unit within 6” and one visible enemy unit. Until end of turn, models in that friendly unit get +1 to wound with ranged attacks against the enemy unit. ***Doesn't specify {{W40Kkeyword|CORE}} ''models'', so this works on Drones in a Core unit just fine. ***Since he doesn't only target core models in the core unit, this will buff Drone guns just fine - and he has his own markerlight, lightening the pressure to take marker drone spam. Just make sure someone nearby has a Drone Controller if you're going to try this. **'''Drone Familiar Cluster''': Each time this model shoots, re-roll one hit roll and one wound roll. ***That will stack with the Sept Tenet, giving him 1 hit roll re-roll, 1 wound roll re-roll, and 1 floating re-roll he can spend on either when he shoots. **'''Fighting Retreat<sup>Aura</sup>''': Friendly non-{{W40Kkeyword|battlesuit}} {{W40Kkeyword|TAU SEPT CORE}} units within 6” can shoot after falling back. * '''Longstrike:''' No longer an upgrade to a Hammerhead, but a separate HQ unit choice and {{W40kKeyword|CHARACTER}}. Gains additional BS (down to 3+ base) and some abilities - otherwise he's a Hammerhead in all respects. You can make him your Warlord - his compulsory WT is the targeted buff where 6s to hit autowound - but you shouldn't; his real job is being an extra Hammerhead that's extra good at murder and occupies an HQ slot instead of a heavy slot. **'''Gunship Ace''': Longstrike’s ranged attacks against {{W40Kkeyword|MONSTER}}/{{W40Kkeyword|VEHICLE}} units have +1 to wound. **'''Targeting Array''': Each time this model shoots, re-roll one hit roll. **'''XV02 Pilot Battlesuit''': In your command phase, select one other friendly {{W40Kkeyword|TAU SEPT CORE}} or {{W40Kkeyword|tau sept HAMMERHEAD}} unit within 6”. Until the start of your next command phase, when that unit makes a ranged attack, it treats the target as having a markerlight. </div> </div>
