Q. Can you please clarify the rules for
independent characters and Bodyguard/Honour
Guard for Tau characters, especially if they also
select drones as part of their wargear. For
example, do Tau characters with a retinue always
count as independent characters for the purposes
of close combat, or do they not?

A. When selecting your army, if you buy a Tau
character without a Bodyguard, he (and his
drones) may join/leave units as a normal
independent character. In combat, the character
(and his drones) count as a separate unit.
If, when selecting your army, you buy a Bodyguard
for a Tau character, the Bodyguard and the
character (and his drones) must be fielded as a
unit, as described for Retinues on page 48 of the
Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. In this case, the
character (and his drones) cannot leave the
Bodyguard unit. The character (and his drones)
are members of the unit in all respects. Only if the
entire Bodyguard is destroyed, the character
returns to being an independent character, as
described above.
The same is true for Ethereals and their Honour
Guard.
