Acting in support of Fire Warrior Teams and armed with twin-linked Pulse Carbines, squadrons of Gun Drones can pin enemy troops in place while the main body of the Tau army takes further shots at the advancing enemy.

Drones are independent artificial intelligences, programmed to protect the Tau. Unlike the Imperium, the Tau make extensive use of machine intelligences. Normally, Drones will require regular orders from a Tau, but when several intelligences are networked together in a squadron, the Drones become capable of acting independently for a long period.

You may take a Squadron of four to eight Gun Drones in your Tau army as a Fast Attack choice.
