I use them for my tau and there actually cheap and add a cheap way of adding fire power to your army.
Heres the stats.
CRAYFISH
You can use them as a Drone Squad taking up a slot in your heavies just like Heavy Drones or you can take a single Crayfish armed the way you choose, with each fire warrior squad. (1 per squad)
If taken as a single upgrade for a unit the Fire Warrior Shas’ui must take the Drone Hard Wired upgrade to control him.
The Crayfish must stay within 2” of the Shas’ui at all times.
The Shas’ui can only control a single Crayfish at a time because they are more advanced to control then a normal Gun Drone.
Note: They do not have jetpacks do to the heavy armor and added firepower.
But they are a stable firing platform for all Crisis Weapons.
They cost 10pts
Then you get the Crisis Suit Weapon of your choice at a reduced cost of 50% off of the weapon.
You must purchase separately and add the cost on top of the base price.
They come with a twin linked Pulse Carbine already included.
Note: Flamers cost the same as the Crisis Suits Flamer.
Stats:
WS-2 BS-2 S-3 T-4 W-1 I-3 A-2 Ld7 Sv-3+
You can also take a short barreled Broadside Rail Gun that shoots 48 inches and no ordinance.
Cost: 15pts
But these are used in heavy squads and take a heavy choice when you do this.
If you do this a squad can be 3-5.
Additional gear that can be added is a shield generator at 10pts.
Note: Do to there relativity small Processors they cannot link up with a Marker Light.
At this time it is too much information for them to process?
They work as a single unit and they have advanced processing when at full strength.
Works like bonded.
When at 50% they take leadership tests at LD 5.
With the Heavy team you can take an upgraded Crayfish Team Leader he has his pulse Carbines and advanced Tracking Processor and systems.
No other weapons.
He is a walking Target Lock and feeds his information to the rest of the team.
He is an upgrade and costs +18 pts.
He may also take a shield Generator. +10pts.
All stats are the same and as long as he is left in the squad he can Target Lock for the whole team.
