Random question about Tau Drones... I came across this problem a while ago while running a tournament. A player brought it to my attention that the Tau Codex states that Tau Battlesuits (or Crisis I honestly can not remember) can only have one of each type of wargear, in this case drones. But the battlesuits/Crisis say they can have any wargear they want. The problem stems from one of our gamers who takes 2 or more or the same type of drone ( an invunerable drone I think it called). The question is can he take more than one of each kinda of drone. The idea would kinda being like a Space Marine being able to take multiple Iron Halos/ Bionics, but not exactly as these ar not represented by a seperate model.
Two of our gamers have contacted GW and gotten 2 different replys. I have had friends who have played at GTs in Battle Bunkers tell me the people and judges ran it one way and other people who have gone to other places said those people ran it different.
Now are gaming group is rather small (about 12 members or so) and their options range alot on the subject. For now I am siding that they can have multiple of the same type of drone only becuse although it does make them rather hard to kill it doesn't seem to be messing with any other aspect of the game. It should be noted that in our gaming group tau are one of the best armies, and so far pretty much nowhere else on-line have I heard that about other gaming groups. Actaulk alot of people are talking about how bad Tau are in this edition of the rules, so I don't know.
I applogies for the question being worded so poorly, but I am hoping that someone out thier who either plays Tau or plays against them alot knows what I am talking about and the answer to my problem.
