Help Please. Tau weapon worries

By Astartes-Lord 8, in Deathwatch Gamemasters

I'm a new GM and i havnt been able to get all the suppliments so I'm not quite up to date.

My main issue right now is that i can't find any stats for Tau Pulse weapons. Am i just being silly and not seeing them or are they in on eof the later books?

The books i have are:

Core Rulebook

GM Kit

Emperor Protects

Rites of battle

Any assitence would be greatly appreciated

They're in the Errata, downloadable from the FFG Deathwatch site. Un-errata'd, they're in Mark of the Xenos.

They are also with the Tau entries in the core book.

...Oh. Yeah. Well, some OTHER Tau weapons are in MoX. :P

Hey, I always lose track of the Tau entries in there.

In the errata the suit-weapons have the special arm weapon mounting instead of the mounted trait.

Is that supposed to be the same or do they now have something like a forearm weapon mount upgrade? And are thus usable without the suit?

I do not believe they are detachable. They clearly rigged to the armor and I would rule that they stay that way. demonio.gif

Yeah. I imagine they get their power from the suit itself.

And even if not, you'd need to rig up the ability to fire it, since you just tore it off. Not like it's going to have a trigger.
