	The TX78 Sky Ray Missile Defense Gunship serves the [[Tau Empire]] as a perimeter and air-defense vehicle. Based on the Devilfish chassis, it is armed with deadly Seeker ~~Missiles~~ for the application of accurate firepower. They are rarely encountered in large numbers, with usually a single Sky Ray per Hunter Cadre, though more may be stationed to defend important targets. The Sky Ray is a known supporter with the policy on the [[Rape\|"Macross Missile Massacre"]] which is the over reliance on killing the enemy with countless amount of missiles till it resembles explosive rain. The [[Imperium]] [[Deathstrike Missile Launcher]] and [[Manticore Launcher Tank]] are also firm supporters of the policy.

	The Sky Ray carries six Seeker ~~Missiles~~ mounted in a 360° traversable turret. It also mounts a pair of networked ~~Markerlights~~ and a Target Lock support system, allowing the Sky Ray to aim and fire its own Seeker Missiles against two separate targets at once. Secondary armament is either a pair of independently-aimed burst ~~cannons~~, a pair of Gun ~~Drones~~ or a Smart Missile System.

	Seeker missiles have the range of a Railgun anyway, at the cost of being S8 with only -2 AP, with no mortal wounds on 6's. That doesn't matter though, because you are spamming shots on the target. Not many vehicles are gonna be able to avoid 6 missiles, and you'll wound only the strongest on 4's anyway(5's if you happen to be an incredibly annoying Chaos Knight.)

	Oh, the '''Skyray'''.		Oh, the '''Skyray'''.

	Sweet, beautiful, underappreciated Skyray.		Sweet, beautiful, underappreciated Skyray.

Notable mostly for the rather unique (and useful, dammit!) rules behind its main weapon, a battery of 6 seeker missiles, it is a fairly versatile weapon platform.

Line 46:		Line 46:
	Even though the Skyray can provide multiple support strikes in the same turn, it's simply just not as good as other choices. Heck, even the Hammerhead can double as an anti-infantry weapon too, since it has submunition rounds that also ignore cover and cover a wider area. No matter how boss the Skyray is (and it's very, ''very'' good), it will never be able to hold a candle to the undiluted armor-rape that are Broadside/Hammerhead Railguns. On top of that, the Skyray isn't even that much cheaper than other options; even if it were considerably cheaper, it still wouldn't really justify taking up precious heavy support slots.

	Further, as good as the Seeker Missiles are for wiping out things like heavy infantry or light to even medium vehicles, they lose again to the Hammerhead. While most people grab Hammerheads for the delicious S10 railgun, they are also capable of mounting an Ion Cannon that offers S7, AP3, Heavy 3 that could probably bust a Sentinel squadron wide open, or S8, AP3, Blast when Overcharged to instagib a squad of Marines. And while the Skyray can provide six Seeker Missiles a turn, the ammunition is limited compared to the constant shooting the Ion Cannon offers.

And while the Skyray can provide six Seeker Missiles a turn, the ammunition is limited compared to the constant shooting the Ion Cannon offers.

	Even if a player really wants to include seeker missiles, the Skyray does not own a monopoly on them. Though it brings more of them to the table than any other one source, many other kinds of Tau vehicles can mount a pair of seeker missiles each, including the [[Devilfish]], [[Piranha\|Piranhas]], [[Razorshark Strike Fighter\|Razorsharks]], and hell, even Hammerheads can mount a couple or Broadsides can mount one each, giving you railguns ''and'' seeker missiles in the same package and without taking up extra unit slots. The Skyray is certainly helpful in getting them, but by no means critical.		Even if a player really wants to include seeker missiles, the Skyray does not own a monopoly on them.

Line 55:		Line 55:
	On the other hand, the Skyray does have a few uses on the battlefield. It works very well with mechanized Tau and Battlesuit-heavy lists (esp. Ninja Tau), since these are less likely to have oh-so-precious markerlights, and a number of Tau armies field one to back up their Broadsides and/or Hammerhead - since it's kind of hard to argue that seeker missiles ''aren't'' fun as hell to use. Armies which use fucktons of markerlights frequently have several, since one critical advantage the Skyray has over the Hammerhead is that it can fire numerous times in one turn if the markerlights allow for it. Another key advantage is that again, Skyray missiles ignore line of sight restrictions and terrain obstacles when fired at their target - this makes Skyrays far more useful in urban combat scenarios, since they'll never have to shoot through terrain obstacles to get at their targets. The Skyray also has a velocity tracker alowing it to have two skyfire markerlights, turning it into a formidable anti-flyer weapon.

	The point is that Skyray Missile Gunships have their uses, provided you consider their strengths correctly. They may not have the raw firepower of Hammerhead Gunships or Broadside Suits, but the ability to drop extra markerlights or provide highly accurate indirect fire support anywhere a markerlight is drawn can be quite useful under some circumstances.

	With the removal of requiring armies to follow the Force Organization Chart, nothing is stopping you from saying "fuck the formation bonuses" and picking up one of these in addition to your other heavy support options. The wisdom of doing this is completely solid! After alpha striking with 6 missiles on turn 1, and disembarking their drones, Skyrays form assault shields with markerlights that are hardly worth the opponent's trouble to kill. There's also, of course, the possibility of loading up on all the Skyrays you can get your hands on and making a list with them, so you can FIRE ZE MISSILES turn one for an absolutely hilarious game for both sides.
