Kroot - Blackstone Fortress

Warhammer 40,000 – Sometimes the various boxed games will provide a decent set of rules for the larger game. Sometimes the rules are really “fluffy” but to restrictive to play in a competitive format. A good example of this are the models from the Kill Team: Rogue Trader box, the rules for them make sense and feel right but the restrictions of detachments and keyword mixing make them unattractive in any matched play scenario.

Apparently this little guy is a cheap elite choice for Tau armies which helps them to fill out brigades. I don’t play against Tau enough to know if this is a solid decision for building a force but the logic seems sound.
