whats this I hear of krrot being able to be used by other armies?I assume its some sort of chapter approved thing.


indeed. there's a chapter approved kroot mercenary list, which lets you build an all kroot army, or you can use them in other armies, excluding space marines, tau, necrons, tyranids, and witch hunters, i believe (maybe daemonhunters, too)


what does it mean, excluding Tau, that doesnt make sence to me?

The Tau are an Empire. They invade and enslave races.
Kroot mercenaries are those that refuse to be enslaved. Like rebels, or terrorists.

Rulewise, because the Tau already have Kroot in thier codex. Fluffwise, because the Tau have an exclusive deal with most of the population of Pech, and these Kroot Mercs are supposed to be those companies and clans that didn't feel that joining up with the Tau Empire was in thier best interest.

And Ophi, until the new codex comes out and confirms or denies the rumor that the Tau have used some kind of mind control helmet on the Vespids, the Tau haven't done any enslaving. That's the Dark Eldar shtick. Tau are like a blend of Imperialist Britain and Communist Russia. They're great believers in "The Blue Man's Burden" and would rather extoll the virtues of the Greater Good and employ the local sentients in low ranking/dangerous jobs. Yay for communist propaganda and imperialism!

The Tau are an Empire. They invade and enslave races.

Whoa! Not true! The Tau are an Empire. True. Communists, when you think about it, but it all works out. They do NOT invade and enslave races. Often, people like the Greater Good, and join the Tau. If you are starting a colony on a planet the Tau have claimed, they'll ask you to leave, and if you don't, they'll fight for it.
The Tau believe in the expression Speak softly but carry a big stick, and I tend to think of them as the gentlemen of the universe. There is NO invading and enslaving.
