    Question about Tau drones...

    Page 25 of the tau codex states that no model may purchase more than one item from the armoury yet everywhere i read about this army i see people purchasing multiples of the same version of drone (shield,gun, etc). i couldnt find in the codex where it said drones were an exception to this restriction nor on an faq. any help would be appreciated. are all of these lists illegal or did i miss something?

    The drone controller entry states that the bearer must purchase one or two drone in any combination, i would guess that since the drone are a required purchase this allows you to select two of the same type as required. Purchasing two separate drone controllers however would not be allowed.

    Bob:"A Whistling Zephyr? I waste it with my crossbow...ha I rolled a critical hit...28 points of damage, is it dead?"
    GM:"What? of course not you *****, it just carries on whistling thru the trees"
    Sara:"Guys relax a zephyr is just a breeze"
    Bob:"Breeze my ass, it just took 28 hit points and it's still whistling at me!"

    I was pretty certain that this very same line page 25 mentioned that drones were the exception. Turns out I was half right : in my french codex, that line starts with "With the exception of drones, ..." but apparently, this isn't mentioned in the english version (dunno about other languages)
