When taking an allied detachment of Tau (Every codex can, bar Tyranids), Does the Crisis Commander and 1+ Fire Warrior minimum requirement apply, or can I take an Ethereal and Kroot for my HQ/Troop if desired?
Been out of the game for awhile, trying to find time to get back into it.
Nothing in the current ruleset seem to contradict that requirement, unfortunately, so my guess is that you do need to take the crisis commander and fw team. Local groups / friends and TOs might say otherwise so can always talk to them.
There's nothing in the Tau FAQ or rulebook that says the 1+ restrictions don't apply for allies, so it would seem that you still need at least one Firewarrior unit and one Crisis HQ.
Ok I haven't gotten my codex out to parse out the rule. I was hoping it would have been FAQ'ed. Looks like those who wish to ally tau must take the obligatory FW/Devilfish Combo along with a pretty good HQ. I like crisis commanders, I was just hoping to be able to ally with a cheaper slot.
