Hi all. I just have a quick question for those keeping up with the EA Tau rules better than me. Firewarriors are based with Drones, correct? So, a Firewarrior stand (using the standard bases) is at least one Firewarrior and up to four (or even zero) Drones. But, when the rules talk about formations containing Drones and their effect on blast markers, etc they actually mean formations with pure Drone units. So, a Firewarrior stand with a Drone on it, doesnt count as a Drone stand.
Also, if units of Firewarriors are based with Drones on them, does popular opinion state that this will not change, and the final list will have Firewarrior stands with Drones as 'Firewarriors'? I dont want my Firewarrior stands to become redundant.
Thanks.

Your guess is as good as mine on this one. But in any case, if you make it possible to distinguish Firewarriors stands from drones stands, then you are covered by the "Count as" rule under GT rules. That's the same thing as including a sergeant in a stand of Marines.
