I've recently aquired several Tau vehicles of the "Devilfish" chasis. However none of the "instructions" show
what flight stem is to be used on those vehicles.
For anyone who has built them is it supposed to be the short stem or long stem.
I'm asking as I'm magnetizing the bases and want the vehicle to be at the appropriate hight

I've had a few in the past. I beleive they use the small ones, as they are only hovering a few feet above the ground.

Thanks for the quick reply, Time to start getting to work on those stems now.

yep./. they skim the ground like the Eldar.. I used the short pole .. except for the 2 that I modeled with landing gear down.

-P

its actually your preference, there is no restriction on which flight stand you use.
just keep in mind that if you use the taller one you might be able to draw line of sight under the skimmer.

Well so far I've modeled both size flight stands, The tall one seems a bit to tall for the transport. However the short one just does not do the "skimming" justice if the landing gear is down, in my oppinnion.
My trades came with both short and tall stems.
The short stem still gives decent clearence as loing as the models are not directly in line with the target, you can easily see under the drone docks and engine pods. I'll just have to make sure that the kneeling firewarriors all come out the back of the Devilfish for the Fish of Fury tactic

In 5th edition 40k, you can draw LOS under the skimmer regardless, I believe.

No True Line of Sight is just that, if you cant see under the skimmer you cant fire through it. If you want to fire under a skimmer you need to get it up on the higher flying base.
