Sky Ray

The Tau Skyray is a variant of the more common Tau Hammerhead Gunship, and provides a dedicated missile platform that is used by the Tau Fire Caste to provide point attack fire support for Fire Warrior Teams, who lack their own heavy weaponry. When guided by the Marker Lights of Tau Pathfinder teams, the Skyray makes an exceptional perimeter and air defense missile system. The Skyray is often regarded as the Tau version of heavy artillery, as they lack standard mobile heavy artillery platforms like the Basilisk vehicles the Imperium possesses.

Weaponry
The Skyray's primary weapon is its rack of 6 Seeker Missiles, which are not controlled by the Skyray itself, but by Tau Pathfinder teams equuipped with Marker Lights. Alternatively, it can use its own networked Marker Light to launch its missiles. The Skyray can also be armed with close range anti-infantry weapons such as Burst Cannons, Smart Missiles or Gun Drones.
