Just a quick thread to see if anyone has used the Forge World Tetra in their lists? How did you get on with them? What are the advantage/disadvantages of them?
Tetras are a great source of mobile markerlights. Better than skyrays IMO, but it is a shame they are not tourney legal.
Using them basically means you are using mech Tau mobile tactics. FoF and hammerheads, as well as Piranhas can redeploy quickly, and having ML's that can keep up is rather nice.

It is worth pointing out that Jon and I are looking at putting together Tau forces for a Campaign weekend at warhammer world in the future sometime, these mean that forgeworld stuff is legal, that the games are about fun and that army sizes will probably be 750, 1500 and 2250.

I have used tetras, before marker lights got their buff they weren't really worth it, but they probably are now. Particularly as they are one of the best ways to get ML without giving up a heavy choice, or using the strage affair that is pathfinder's now.
Gotta admit - the red being an ugly colour gags were totally lost on me....
Thanks for your answer Prometheus - I think Chered is already convinced of their usefulness, but I'm thinking he may be right - especially as my 8 man pathfinder squad and devilfish is so much more expensive!
[[[ I love my Tetras! BTW, some tourneys will allow FW stuff if it is NOT a Super-heavy/Flyer/Monster. they make a great compliment to any mechanized Tau force!
