Markelights

If a model (other than a VEHICLE) fires a markerlight, it cannot fire any other weapons in that phase. When a unit is hit by a markerlight, place a counter next to it for the remainder of the phase. The table below describes the benefits T'AU EMPIRE models have when shooting at a unit that has markerlight counters. All benefits are cumulative.

• 1: - You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for T'AU EMPIRE models attacking this unit.
• 2 - Destroyer and seeker missiles fired at this unit use the firing model's Ballistic Skill (and any modifiers) rather than only hitting on a 6.
• 3 - The target unit does not gain any bonus to its saving throws for being in cover.
• 4 - T'AU EMPIRE models attacking this unit do not suffer the penalty for moving and firing Heavy weapons or Advancing and firing Assault weapons.
• 5 or more - Add 1 (or more, increasing with each markerlight counter after the fifth one) to hit rolls for T'AU EMPIRE models attacking this unit.
