You can't hard-wire Shield Generators, period.

you can ONLY hard wired a multi tracker, target lock, drone controller, or a blacksun filter. Unless its a commander, you can only do 1 item, commanders can have 3.

The only time you can hard wire a shield generator is with aun'shi, who comes with it @ no cost

shield generators are only available to crisis suits. although you can give your ethereal a drone controller and 1-2 shield drones. Aun'Shi does get a hard-waried shield generator but that unique to him. but i think he does have it at a cost... he is 50 points more expensive than a regular ethereal

A: xv88's can have shield generator's too.
B: aun'shi is 55 points more, lets see...

ws is +1....say 5 points?
bs doesn't matter
s is the same but with +2 so thats 10 points  for the honour blade

so hes 65 pts now

t - same
w - +1 so lets say.....5 more points

now hes 70

I - +2 so... +5 again?

now 75 points

ld same
save - 4+ invulnerable, 25 points

now 100

blade master - 5 points

there, 105 points, quite reasonable for his abilities, IMO.

Don't forget that in addition to his normal ethereal abilities, he'll add +1 I/A to any Tau unit he joins  :) And he has both photon and emp grenades (4 pts total). Quite formidable for 105 pts.

i didn't say he wasn't... but then again my tau don't use ethereal... never bring politics into a battle, they only screw with the battleplan and make propaganda from it.

lol. I rarely use my ethereal, I normally just completely max out on battlesuits so my troops are too busy shooting everything into the ground to worry about a casualty here or there.
