Are Forge World Models like Heavy Gun Drone Squadrons and Tetras subject to the same 0-1 limit that most other units have in a Farsight entry? I am just curious, I don't own IA 3 or the new Codex. Also to clarify, hits from the Dawn Blade allow no armour saves, but it doesnt state that they are wounded automatically. This is what I first thought when I read the entry. Whats the deal with the Dawn Blade.

It's not covered in either IA3 or Codex: Tau Empire. You'll have to work it out w/ your opponent how it gets played. Strictly speaking, you can field Heavy Gun Drones squadrons and Tetras with no limit, since they're not on the list of Farsight restricted units. However, I feel it'd be much along the same lines of using IA1 to field 3 different variants of Leman Russ battletanks in an Daemonhunters army, that is legal, but rather frowned upon.

Why the heck would the Dawn Blade wound automatically??? Commander Farsight still needs to roll to wound with his S5, as do most units out there.

The way its worded threw me off.
