Anghuta's Kroot Renegades (will be pic heavy)

[Alta]

This is actually my brother's army, but I'm helping with some of the converting. I will update this as I finish each unit.

Anghuta is the master shaper (currently unmade). He left the tau after a complicated series of events (which I will get round to posting someday) which, to summarize, was that the tau crossed kroot with nids to get an ultimate CC race. He left with his tribe and at first he didn't want to have anything to do with the tau, but, gradually, he came to realise that they would need the tau weaponry if they were going to stand a chance of survival. So they started raiding and gathering equipment, stealing battlesuits and adapting the technology for themselves. Now they stood a chance at beating the traitorous tau...

That's pretty cool, I don't like the back story, but it's pretty cool, can't wait to see more.

That is just a very rough summarisation of the background story. The actual story contains something like 40 A4 pages...

Awesome!

Do a kroot battlesuit

[Alta]

I'm going to. The Piranha is almost finished. My brother just needs to get another set of kroot so that he has more bodies. The battlesuit will be similar to the kroot battlesuit that Moloch did: www.hivefleetmoloch.de/kroot_renegade_headquarter.php.
One idea that I did have was to use kroot birds (I would have to sculpt them) instead of drones. E.g. sheild drones are birds with sheild generators strapped to them, merker drones have markerlights attached. Do people think this would be a good idea?

they look amazing but the backstory is abit on the lame side...

was thinking exactly the same, and then read this comment.
but you dont always have to have the fluff, but a croot themed army that plays like TAU is awesome!
well done, and the conversions look spot on!

[Devil's Advocate]

you should look to Hive fleet Moloch's Kroot renegades for some inspiration.

I do dig on the stealth suits, and look forward to more!

I like 'em. Neat conversions, Alta.
I'd like to see a Tau Commander like that.
