Fact check: Can you use the high intensity markerlight strategem be used in conjunction with the marker drone to get three markerlight points in one activation?

Checked on September 19, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about the possibility of using the high intensity markerlight strategem in conjunction with the marker drone to get three markerlight points in one activation. After reviewing the analyses from various sources, it appears that none of the sources directly address this specific question [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. However, some sources provide relevant information about the marker drone and the high intensity markerlight strategem. For example, source [7] mentions that the High-Intensity Markerlight allows a Pathfinder to apply 2 markerlights instead of 1, but does not explicitly state whether it can be used in conjunction with the Marker Drone to get three markerlight points in one activation [7]. Similarly, source [8] mentions the Marker Drone, which has a High-intensity Markerlight, but does not provide information on using it with the High-Intensity Markerlight strategem to get three markerlight points in one activation [8]. The lack of direct information from the sources makes it difficult to provide a definitive answer to the original question [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources provide information about the eligibility to shoot and observe after advancing, which is relevant to understanding how marker drones and strategems interact [4]. Additionally, sources [5] and [6] discuss the general overview of the T'au Empire and its units, as well as the utility of different types of drones, but do not specifically address the combination of the high intensity markerlight strategem with a marker drone [5] [6]. Alternative viewpoints could include considering the rules for marker drones and strategems in different contexts, such as Kill Team or other Warhammer 40k scenarios [7] [8]. It is also important to consider the potential interactions between different units and strategems, such as the T'au Pathfinders and their abilities [7]. Key omitted facts include the specific rules for using the high intensity markerlight strategem with a marker drone, as well as any potential restrictions or limitations on this combination [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement assumes that it is possible to use the high intensity markerlight strategem in conjunction with the marker drone to get three markerlight points in one activation. However, none of the sources provide direct evidence to support this claim [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. This lack of evidence could indicate that the original statement is based on incomplete or inaccurate information [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. The sources that provide relevant information, such as [7] and [8], do not explicitly address the combination of the high intensity markerlight strategem with a marker drone, which could indicate that this combination is not a standard or intended part of the game rules [7] [8]. Players who benefit from this combination, such as those using T'au Pathfinders, may be motivated to interpret the rules in a way that allows this combination, potentially leading to disputes or inconsistencies in gameplay [7] [8].
