Kroot Hunting Pack

The T’au Empire, known for its futuristic warfare and strategic ranged assaults, reveals a different aspect of its military might through the Kroot Hunting Pack – a vital component that complements the T’au’s advanced tactics with raw, primal strength.

The Kroot, integral allies of the T’au Empire since their first introduction, embody the essence of versatility and adaptability. Their role expands with the anticipated Codex: T’au Empire, showcased first in this exclusive box set. The set not only unveils new Kroot miniatures but also celebrates their lore and battlefield prowess.

Leadership within the Kroot ranks is provided by the gene-wise Shapers, introducing new tactical dimensions with the War Shaper and Flesh Shaper models.

These leaders combine ancient wisdom with battlefield strategy, enhancing the Kroot’s natural ferocity with strategic guidance.

The core of the Kroot force, the Kroot Carnivores, demonstrates the savage yet skilled nature of these warriors, reflecting their combat efficacy and marksmanship.

The set enriches their representation with dynamic poses and introduces the innovative tanglebomb launcher, enhancing their battlefield utility.

Highlighting the Kroot’s symbiosis with their environment, the new Krootox models underscore their role as powerful, yet revered, creatures within the Kroot society. These models are adorned to depict their valued status, adding depth to the narrative of the Kroot within the T’au Empire.

The Kroot Hunting Pack is not just a collection of miniatures; it’s a declaration of the Kroot’s resurgence, now empowered with a dedicated Detachment in the new Codex: T’au Empire. This enables players to field an all-Kroot army, fully exploring their unique cultural and combat styles.

Stay tuned as we delve into the contents of this exciting box in the upcoming weeks. Prepare for the pre-order launch and discover everything the Kroot Hunting Pack has to offer!

Kroot Hunting Pack Review

The Kroot have always been this fascinating, slightly left-field part of the Tau Empire in Warhammer and I’ve been pondering whether this box is worth the investment.

Starting with what’s inside: 20 Kroot Carnivores. That’s a lot, right? And while the idea of a Kroot swarm is undeniably cool, I can’t help but feel the point value might not match the physical bulk.

For those just diving into the Tau or looking to expand their forces, this could seem like a light offering compared to boxes filled with heavier units or those that rack up more points on the battlefield.

Now, if you’re looking at the broader scope of your Tau army, incorporating Kroot offers a unique flavor and tactical diversity.

There’s a mention in the Tau Codex about a detachment centered around Kroot, which tickles my fancy for thematic army builds.

However, it’s worth noting that if your heart’s set on a more traditional Tau force, packed with Fire Warriors and towering Ghostkeels, starting with a heavy Kroot presence might feel limiting.

Here’s my take: if you’re all about the Kroot and keen to theme your army around these alien hunters, the Kroot Hunting Pack could be a thrilling addition. It’s a chance to paint up some new unique models and deploy tactics that’ll surprise your opponents.

But, if you’re aiming for a more standard Tau force or looking for sheer points value, you might find this box leaves you wanting more.

At the end of the day, whether you’re a seasoned commander or new to the galaxy of Warhammer 40k, the decision hinges on what kind of army you dream of building. If the idea of leading a carnivorous alien horde excites you, then the Kroot Hunting Pack is calling your name.
