Bonkers

Put this on a unit with ranged and watch your opponent cry.  Also I believe it works with assault platform, so you can sneak it into combat.

AOE(2) umm get two of these on a planet and wipe the entire enemy army. YES PLEASE!!!1

 

3 auto include

Attach to some Assault Marines for AOE(4) goodness.

Good call on AoE being cumulative: I'd totally missed that.

Just an FYI this is referenced on page 9 of the RRG

 

Cards are considered to have a keyword or to not
have that keyword. A single card that has and/or is
gaining the same keyword from multiple sources
functions as if it has one instance of that keyword.
The value pertaining to numerative keywords does
accumulate, however. For example: a card with
“Area Effect (1)” that is gaining “Area Effect (2)”
would function as “Area Effect (3).”

They are loyal though

Fantastic attachment, good card otherwise. 5/5 because you have the option to chose. Granted it is likely to be a 4/5 with any other Tau Warlord as Shadowsun.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this work with Commander Shadowsuns ability? Gun Drones says it may be deployed as attachment, but Shadowsun puts into play. I don't think this can be recurred/played for free with Shadowsun.

Short answer is no.

Long answer is, just like you said, Shadowsun puts attachments in play, while Gun Drones say they can only be deployed as attachments, so it conflicts with Shadowsun's text. If the Drones said "can enter play", then it would be possible.

A standard unit, a great attachment. I like the flexibility of this cards and this particular drone is close to be out of scale.

5/5

Just to be sure. I can attach gun drones on gun drones (or any other drones) right?

So long as it is an army unit, not a vehicle, and doesn't have some other limitation (like "no attachments"), yes.

Even with the army, not a attachment, this card is nuts.

 

5/5
