I've always enjoyed the look of the Kroot. Their stats kind of leave something to be desired, but I tend to root for the under-dog.
Here's what I came up with, but I don't want to paint all of these models if people feel they will just be used as a imperial guard bath-mat, or space wolves chew toy.
Oh, and heads up ^ --- This list also requires some rules tweaking and "fun thinking".
HQ: (Here's the tweaking)
Aun'va - Master of the Undying Spirit
Aunva's Guard X 2
Most of Aun'va's rules leave out the Kroot. Maybe I could make him a Kroot HQ and just switch those rules to leave out everyone but the Kroot. This is a big maybe, but would complete the Kroot look.
Elite:
Stealth Team X 5
- Fusion Blaster X 1
Stealth Team X 5
- Fusion Blaster X 1
Stealth Team X 5
- Fusion Blaster X 1
So these guys are posed as the 'Special Forces' guys watching over and kind of leading the Kroot, much like the American Special Forces do in foreign countries.
Troops:
Kroot X 20
Kroot Shaper X 1
Kroot Hound X 12
Krootox Rider X 2
Kroot X 20
Kroot Shaper X 1
Kroot Hound X 12
Krootox Rider X 2
Kroot X 20
Kroot Shaper X 1
Kroot Hound X 12
Krootox Rider X 2
Kroot X 20
Kroot Shaper X 1
Kroot Hound X 12
Krootox Rider X 2
Stealth Teams have Fusion Blasters with Melta to hit tanks. Krootox has 48 inch Strength 7 weapon Rapid Fire. And the rest is kind of a James Cameron Avatar wave.
Once again, I like the army, but I don't want waste time painting a blood bath.
Thoughts?
