Tidewall Droneport

A Tidewall cannot move independently, nor can it fight in the Fight phase. Enemy models automatically hit this model in the Fight phase - do not make hit rolls. However, this model can still shoot if there are enemy models within 1" of it, and friendly units can still target enemy units that are within 1" of this model.

If a friendly T'AU EMPIRE INFANTRY unit is embarked on a Tidewall at the beginning of your Movement phase, you may move it in the Movement phase. A Tidewall cannot Advance or charge.

Models embarked on this model can attack in their Shooting phase. Measure the range and draw line of sight from any point on this model. When they do so, any restrictions or modifiers that apply to this model also apply to its passengers; for example, the passengers cannot shoot if this model has Fallen Back in the same turn and so on. Note that the passengers cannot shoot (except with Pistols) if this model is within 1" of an enemy unit, and so on, even though this model itself can.

When you set up a Tidewall Droneport, you can also set up a unit of up to 4 Tactical Drones in the slots in the Droneport. These Drones begin the battle fully automated - if able to, they must shoot in each of your Shooting phases at the nearest enemy unit to the Droneport that is visible to it. If there is a friendly T'AU EMPIRE INFANTRY unit embarked on the Droneport at the beginning of your Movement phase, you can take control of the Drones, which then detach from the Droneport and act as a separate unit. In addition, while a friendly T'AU EMPIRE INFANTRY unit is embarked on the Droneport, the Tactical Drones activated this way can use that unit's Ballistic Skill instead of their own when making shooting attacks. If the Droneport is destroyed before the Drones are activated, they are destroyed as well.

This model can transport any number of T'AU EMPIRE INFANTRY CHARACTERS and one other T'AU EMPIRE INFANTRY unit, but no more than 10 models in total.
