I have an idea...
I saw a random thingy in the ground today and I had an idea for a bunker for the Tau. This bunker is deployable from the air, so a cluster could be dropped into a live battlefield to aid Tau ground forces. It would look basically like a dome with some drill-like things on the bottom for when it lands. There would be three battlesuit vents (from the back of the XV-8? Those long triangular bitz?) on the side, acting both as fins to guide the descent and as shield projectors to protect the bunker when it lands. The vent things would have the flat back part against the side of the bunker, with the wide end up.
When the bunker lands and digs into the ground, the top...about half lifts up slightly, making a slit to the interior all around the bunker except for three supports. The shield generators on the sides (the vent bitz) swing on hinges so the vents are facing up and a shield drone thingy rises up from the roof on a mount. This forms a shield matrix that protects the bunker from aerial bombardment. When Tau need to get into the bunker, the top half can be raised further and then lowered again once they are inside.
So...what do you think? I'll post a diagram in a second.
EDIT: Here it is.
