Do not forget the "Lance" story.
It came to mirror the same name rule for 40 3rd Ed Eldars.

Didn't you notice we are talking about Tau here??? nobody mentioned Eldar but you
Not really, the thread is about changing the Lance rule, in the Rules Amendments subforum. If this were done it'd apply to all units, including the Fire Prism which was the where the rule came from in the official rules (Lance was published in Swordwind, not the main rulebook). Hence it's valid to consider the original intent behind the rule, even ignoring the balance issues with changing a core rule across several units.
That said, I think we reached a fairly watertight conclusion with the topic:
1. Leave Lance alone
2. Create a new rule e.g. Armour Piercing
3. If ACs want to give it to the Hammerhead and not the Fire Prism, cool.
