My Kroot List

[Yurrath (aka Rezzy)]

Kroot are my new passion, here's my list!

I haven't come up with much fluff yet, I will have to give it some thought...I'm thinking maybe a tribe of Kroot that have allied themselves with Exodite Eldar far out on the Eastern Fringe. Perhaps at a later date I'll stick an Autarch and some Rangers in here and use them as allies (as if I use the Kroot as allies they'll loose their bonuses). 8)
I like the idea of hunters, and so I'm going to align these Kroot quite closely with the Rangers role on the battlefield - I.e. lots of snipers and infiltrators eventually!

Try putting Everascators (sp?), the big chainsword things, on all the Shapers in squads. You'll be glad for the extra hitting power. Every shaper in a squad you plan to have in close combat will benefit hugely from them.

I'm considering it. Originally I wanted them to have been supplied thier weapons by the Eldar, hence the power weapons. But I'm thinking now that I could use Striking Scorpion chainswords as Esciverators. Hmmm...

It also seems a bit low on Anti-tank, but thats OK so long as your looking at it for fluff more than efficient gaming. I read a thread with (I think) Shaper council with wings and Meltaguns, maybe consider that?

[Yurrath (aka Rezzy)]

I've decided for anti-armour I'm going to use Esciverators (duel Eldar chainswords!) in my carnivore squads as well as the Krootox squad.

[seraphim]

Fair enough, as it seems you are going at this more for fluff than for effectiveness, and you'll use them with Eldar, the fact you have almost no chance against skimmers with a few Eviscerators won't bother you.

Still, a Kroot list would be really good fun to play. I should make one to go with my Tau, aside from the 16 carnivorres I can bring.

Hmm, if only i had the time or money...
