Do unused markerlight hits last multiple turns (as per the wording the codex) or do unused markerlights expire at the end of each turn and GW just screwed up the entry?
Case of wishful thinking methinks there bud, it says they remain until the end of the current Tau shooting phase, or until they are used, this means that any marker token that is used is removed, if any are not used then the are lost at the end of the current current Tau shooting phase. The first part of the sentence is pretty explanatory in that it says ‘the end of the current shooting phase’ Basically you: 1. Shoot the marker lights. 2. Any successful hits are placed as counters against the targeted unit. 3. So if you have 3 hits you place 3 tokens. 4. You declare a single marker light benefit for an individual token. 5 You remove a token when you use each individual benefit (I/E if your upping the BS of a unit by 2, you remove two tokens after you declare the unit is going to go for the increased BS) 6. If you want to use the tokens to reduce cover saves or Leadership from pinning against the unit targeted by the BS boosted Tau unit, then this also has to be declared in the shooting
