This is NOT HELPING NOT START A KROOT ARMY DAMNIT As always, absolutely sterling, Balders.

[@Warlock572]

So what color are you going to paint them? I'm thinking a blue palette for mine. Lol

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Kroot are an interesting example of parallel evolution to the Tyranids as they are two different species that use the DNA of their prey species to get better adaptions to survive in this hostile galaxy, but the difference is that the Kroot are a individual minded race while the Tyranids are a hive mind race.

[@DirtHermit]

It's always been a hunch of mine that the Kroot were actually involved in the War in Heaven, as just one of the many genetic warrior weapons of the Old Ones.

[@Lowlyking2001]

@@DirtHermitIf that was the case, they'd be much farther along Technologically. ​Even the Orks, who were beaten down from the Krork, were advanced.

[@DirtHermit]

@@Lowlyking2001 Not necessarily. Look at the Orks. They've been struggling to return to their genetic roots of the Krork, ever since the Enslaver Plague. It's also been said that the Kroot used to be more technologically advanced (hence Warspheres), but have either lost the majority of their tech, or shunned it due to past misteps.

[@DocWolph]

Too easy. To cite Earth as an example, the earliest lifeforms on Earth would literally absorb the genetics of their prey. In this way, they were able to "evolve". While life on Earth certainly evolved away from needing or using the genetic material of their prey, the Kroot never lost this ability. Thus, any species they preyed upon with compatible DNA, they could assimilate by eating it. This is not the same as the Tyranids who actively and intelligently analyze and recombine DNA to make additions and modifications to their bioforms, much as The Borg simply analyze and reconfigure and adjust their systems to adapt, to new challenges and prey. The Tyranids are not slave to the particularities off their physiology able to pick and choose and correct errors, at will. Meanwhile, the Kroot have to be careful what they eat. In this way the Tyranids show they are more an artificial lifeform than the Kroot being natural if obviously alien to the Human biological experience.

Ahhh,... I still remember when my soul was elated and love struck in my heart like a bolter over the lilting dulcimer tones of the fair gentile voice of our dear Baldermort ! His stories are the best... seek out his Kronan Da Kunnin stories and the Thaddeus & Tarquinus stories.

[@derekbidelman2442]

You gotta check out Thaddus and Cronan...🤯 prepare to be entertained on a top tier 40k story that is more than worthy of being lore or cannon at the least, and with Cronan... grab an extra pair of underwear because you might piss your panties laughing 😮

[@DirtHermit]

Our boy, Baldermort, is one of the best. If you are new, I highly suggest Thaddeus and Tarquinus. If you're an Ork fan, check out Kronan da Kunnin'. If you just want some wonderous 40k Storytelling, pick something. Anything ❤

I came into warhammer 40k and didn’t like the close minded approach of the Imperium of Man, then I got to see what Xenos were really like. And I now know why the phrase ‘Suffer not the Alien to live’ is spoken as a holy cant. Best video on the Kroot out there!:)

[@KalashVodka175]

To be fair, the Imperium did xenocide a lot of peaceful Star Wars and Star Trek style minor species. But then again a lot of minor xenos are just as fucked up as the Orks etc

I can't help but feel that the Kroot understand the realities of the setting better than the Tau themselves, but the Tau view the Kroot as useful savages, and so don't value their input as much as they should.

You have to admit the Tao lucked out massively on teh kroot, not only they are not eating them, they were in the perfect position to save the kroot. ensuring loyalty. Sounds insane f you consider that this is 40 k althouh that does take a 180 when they met the imperium, Come to think of it did you spoke of this already? Because if you are doing Tao, i for one can't wait for you to cover them meeting the imperium. It will be hilarious i can bet you could hear the sound of the Tao commander's brain just snapping then fizzling out.

It's why this is my favourite 40k channel. Instead of 'oh, it's dark, it's depressing, you shouldn't play it if you don't like what I like about it', it's 'you're playing a game where you get to make cool stories for the little plastic people you've lovingly painted. Enjoy it!' And I love that. The sheer enthusiasm and support for players new and old is wonderful.

[@garethbancroft855]

@@robjones7015 Not a player never have been. Liked painting figures when i was a lad but I've recently got into the lore through a friend. not bothered about playing but will be looking into picking up a couple of books. I think it's the 2000AD vibe that makes me like it.

[@robjones7015]

@@garethbancroft855 that's really interesting - so, full disclosure, I've only recently picked the game up again after a 20+ year absence. It's why I follow channels like Baldermort's, to re-immerse myself and see how things have developed. So it's genuinely fascinating that it's come so far that you don't need to play the game at all to enjoy the thing. Pretty cool, and you do your thing! You're definitely right about 2000AD, even down to some of Moore's aesthetics trickling in.

EVERY TIME YOU SAY THE WORD "PECK".... I CANNOT HELP BUT TO START LAUGHING MY ARSE OFF....BECAUSE IN MY HEAD NARRATIVE, ALL I CAN HEAR IS VAL KILMER , ( PLAYING MADMARTIGAN IN THE GEORGE LUCAS / RON HOWARD MOVIE "WILLOW", 1988, With Warwick Davis,) SAYING "THERE'S A PECK HERE WITH AN ACORN POINTED AT ME!!🤣🤣, And then the use of the word throughout the film such as : "OUT OF THE WAY PECK!" (AT LEAST 10×s) and then at one point he literally says Peck Peck Peck Peck Peck Peck Peck Peck ......Peck!...... I KNOW SOMEONE IS GONNA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT "DEROGATORY...BLAH BLAH BLAH..." , BUT IT WAS THE 1980'S, AND IT WAS A RUNNING JOKE IN THE MOVIE! AT one point, a BROWNIE, which is basically a TINY FOREST FAE CREATURE, EVEN CALLS WILLOW A "PECK".. (DESPITE BEING LIKE 4 FEET SHORTER THAN HIM!! ), AND it is HILARIOUS!!! ANYWAYS....WHENEVER YOU SAY PECK, I AM BROUGHT BACK TO A MUCH MORE INNOCENT TIME OF MY YOUTH, WHEN I COULD USE MY POCKET MONEY/ ALLOWANCE/ PAPER ROUTE TO BUY CITADEL MINIATURES RIGHT OUT OF WHITE DWARF, AND HAVE ENOUGH $$$ LEFT OVER FOR A TRIP TO THE COMIC SHOP!!
