I coped Kroot into Owlkeks rpgs and I still feel my meme magic not waning. I feel they could realistically be added to DT
>Unlike Tau they aren't weak in melee which is thematically important for Tide games. They are about as strong as Space Marine while being weaker than Ogryn.
>And unlike Tau, Kroot are everywhere in galaxy because they are mercenaries with access to Warp travel. There are known to be employed by Imperials, Inquisitors and Rogue Traders in particular. From story standpoint, we are desperate for allies in DT, hiring nearby Kroot mercs would be a no brainer for Rannick
>Tau actual infantry weapons are relatively small in number because of their Mech and Suit focus. What exists, Kroot can use as well if need be. And Kroot on their own have a very large amount of weapons. A lot of them could be used as an excuse to port otherwise unlikely VT2 weapons like Bows or Javelins, both of which Kroot use. Looking at pic related I can already see Axe&Falchion and Brace of Pistol equivalents
>And on top of this Kroot can access some of the already existing in game Imperial weapons like Heavy Swords, Axes or even Chainswords, all of which are on models even
>Unlike Ratlings and Squats they aren't small, which is apparently a problem according to Fatshark. They are tall but thin instead so they could be a second huge class next to Ogryn
>With all the units they have and had in 40k, range of possible playstyles and abilities is huge. You could make them another pet class with Kroot Hound or Kroot Hawk. Lean into their cannibalism theme. Or stealthy predator theme. Or fast glass cannon. Or heavy gunner. Or sniper. They have it all really
>For this same reason paypig slop potential is huge. They both mutate and use other species equipment like Ogres in WHFB
>Crossmarketing with Owlkek during Dark Heresy release. Might even be tied with potential second wave model release
>No complaining about ugly faces because they are monsters
I want to believe
