Hi!
Ive just read through the Tau index book of the 8th ed. and I notice that Longstrike with his Hammerhead now is classified as a HQ. Am I correct that we now can put a Hammerhead (with Longstrike) in a HQ spot in a detachment? Furthermore, since Longstrike (with his Hammerhead) is tagged as character it should mean that the enemy not can shoot at it if it´s not the closest target, right? Sounds nice to have an almost untouchable Hammerhead.

Well how many wounds does a Hammer head have?

there is a limit to the shooting restriction.

Oh crap, forgot about that rule. It has 13 wounds, so no character benefits there I guess.
