Kroot - Blog Posts

Kroot & Krootling! My favourite part of the whole Tau empire; which in my opinion should have been Star Treks Federation rather than a weird mash of Gundam and Red China tropes, but I digress.

I like their eating/absorbtion based powers and how they're kind of just chill as far as beings go in the 40k 'verse.

I'd like to play as Big Dad Kroot in a 40k RPG someday.

The spackle technique looks great! The pattern scales perfectly; and the cross-hatching of the brush strokes reminds me of modern digital camouflage (and by extension, suggests that the Kroot received their cold-weather gear from their Tau allies).

This definitely seems like the direction to go in; and I'm very excited to see the finished result! 🙂

Work in progress shot of my first four Kroot.

Using Farstalkers as Carnivores simply because they have cloaks - my Tau are going to have snow bases, so the Kroot will match, and there is a limit to the amount of genetic cold weather resistance you can inherit by eating dire-lemmings, ice-ferrets and Valhallans.

Not at all happy with the snow camo pattern I botched onto these guys tho... Might have to go back to the drawing board.
