Do drones remove my HQs independant character status?
Sorry this is untrue, as Onlainari stated if a Tau IC takes controlled drones they form a unit, this unit can be shot at if a target priority test is passed, if the IC and drones are not the closest unit. For all other intents and purposes (assaults, joining and leaving units etc) the commander/etheral is an independent character, the only thing that totally removes IC status is bodyguards and this is only until the BG are destroyed, when this happens the IC status is once agian regained.
