Tau battleforce question

[striogi]

I've done a few searches for this information already, so if it's been answered, I was unable to find it.

Does the Tau battleforce come with the parts to equip a devilfish with SMS?
Does the normal devilfish box come with those parts?

Neither comes with the SMS. The SMS comes on the Railgun sprue that is found either in the Hammerhead or Sky Ray boxes. I scratch built an SMS. I used two missile pods and glued them back to back, the disk from the gun drone and parts from two plasma rifles/carbines for the supports. End result was a passable SMS unit that now is on my DF!

Hey there Striogi! The quick and sad answer is: No!

Devilfish in the box (the sprue i mean) is the same as that in the BF box. If you want SMS, you need to get yourself a Hammerhead kid, or Skyray. Just remember though, you get the H-head sprues even when buying the skyray box (get yourself some extra seeker missles and little bits if you want to, for the same price i beleive.)

There is a cheaper way to get SMS for devilfish, provided you have extra gun drone discs and two extra missile pods per each disc you want to make. You can put the two missile pods together and then attach them under the gun drone part, it looks 95% like the hammerhead SMS, and is far cheaper to boot!

That's what I've done with all my fishes!

As the above posters said, the answer is "no". If you are going to buy a devilfish or a hammer-head, just buy the Skyray box, it has all the part to make all three. Otherwise you can buy the spru with the SMS drones on GW's website; I believe it is the spru for the Ion Cannon part of a hamerhead.

Actually it comes with the Ion Cannon, Railgun, SMS, chin sensors, turret, and one extra Burst Cannon.

I was refering to the spru that contained the SMS drones on it. Which I believe is the spru primarily used for the Ion Canon.

There are three Tau vehicle sprues. One for the Devilfish chassis, one with the Sky Ray turret bits and one called "Hammerhead Weapons". The last one contains everything to change a Devilfish into a Hammerhead. Both main guns and the turret, one extra Burst Cannon, the secondary weapon mounts ("drones"), 2x SMS, nose sensor.

The Skyray box contains all three, the Hammerhead box contains the Devilfish and Hammerhead Weapons, and the Devilfish box, surprisingly, only contains the Devilfish sprue.
