I was playing a game last weekend with my Tau vs Necrons and he said his HQ had an ability that took abilities like tank hunter away from my guys and gave it to his or he could give special rules to his own guys. The wording said it took special abilities but tank hunter was granted to my crisis team by a piece of wargear so could he still take it away?

The character removes the special rule and does not care about it's source (whether from an ability or wargear).

The chaacter in question is called Nemesor Zahndrekh and yes, he can take away a bunch of stuff from one unit and give one rule to one of his own. As the taking away rule says something like cannot have nor gain the rule, it doesn't care about whether it's wargear or not. Heck, it could be a psychic power only active for one turn - it would still prevent it.

That's brutal and makes me a very sad panda lol thanks for the info and prompt responses.
