Updated FAQ

[Panzer]

So GW updated their FAQs. Some neat stuff for T'au this time as well!

A quick summary of what changed for us:

• Longstrike indeed buffs himself with his +1 to-hit modifier (both Longstrike and the Hammerheads got the Hammerhead keyword and his ability got changed so that it reads Hammerheads as well)
• Broadsides get 2 Missile Drones per Suit in a unit now
• Sunshark Interceptor Drones have two Ion Rifles each now!
• Shield Drones have a 5+ FnP as well now!!
• Velocity Tracker only counts for the model that is equipped with it and not for the whole unit anymore

Sunsharks were great...now they're awesome with that extra firepower!!! (Though they are more expensive now)

Their cost didn't change at all. The Drone cost is including wargear already. ;)

I'm not a T'au player, but my friend is, so I check in on their stuff every so often. I'm assuming that the shield drone FNP now makes them useful now, as FNP occurs even if the wound taken is a mortal one, correct?

That's correct. They are a viable choice once again now.

That's damn fair.
