Is an XV8 (HQ) still an independant character with gun drones?

Yes and no.

He can still join other units, but the drones form a unit with him.

Um what i mean is if he joins other units or is joined by gun drones does he lose the independant character status

You don't lose IC status by joining a unit.

This. Without being snarky, have a re-read of the Characters section of the rulebook. It should clear up any issues you may have.

Of course, if, after re-reading, you still have questions, feel free to ask!

It also states in the tau codex what happens when a commander takes drones.
