You can do aggressors with auto cannon from a imperial weapons kit to the mid backpack on the righter pin side two mm drill plug with mag add to the base pin off the auto cannon especially if your doing a 5 man squad no terminator heavy so disappointed ☹️. May have a post on the Warhammer 40k community OGW.....now heavy incinerator with a left power fist serg flamer and twin plasma on that ball back pack with the hell storm should be it's base rapid one tactical troops 30points mmmm...😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smile's.

"If you'd like to see more Kroot..." Yes.

[@Gordonthecactus]

More Krooooot

[@Lamefoureyes]

[Tusken Raiders style] KROOOOT KROOOOT KROOOOOOOOT!!!

[@oliiking]

yes

[@HippoBean]

Krootified versions of useful Tau units would be so cool as thematic additions to Kroot detachments, just for aesthetic consistency

[@Gordonthecactus]

@@HippoBean I personally have some fun stuff planned using the gun options from the hammerhead kit and three Bastilodons

[@Frozenkoldfury]

More Kroot. Kroot-operated Vehicles would be a cool idea, or Kroot with armour and pulse rifles that are full on Fire-Warrior equivalents!

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Kroot eats some fire warriors: I know how to use a crisis suit now :P LOL

[@voxthesergal]

Oh if only you knew about the 3D artist that's been doing it for Years... And they're GOOD.

[@LordOfAllVikings]

agreed! very much agreed! ❤

[@scagmo_au]

I am Kroot

[@Nikusarusan]

would love all tau auxiliaries to get more spotlight

[@bessie8612]

This looks just like that Kroot “borrowed” that Broadside gun from a warehouse somewhere

[@mistformsquirrel]

It fell off a Devilfish.

[@anishshirodkar484]

[@guts8909]

I love how the krootox is essentialy the “ride wife” meme and its lore accurate.

[@polrua]

This is exactly the sort of creative approach to unit design that I tune into your channel for. Kroot get a new, heavy battle armour variant... "That doesn't sound right. Make it a heavy mounted unit." I'd definitely love to see more Kroot designs. Bring on the Dead Animal Bits!

[@Matt-md5yt]

sweet more Kroot conversions. glad they gotten a Codex finally.

[@carsonglenn1389]

They didn’t. They’re still in the tau codex, but there is a kroot specific detachment called the Kroot Hunting Party.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Honestly the idea of a Broadside Battlesuit piloted by a Kroot does sound really interesting. Could at least make a Broadside battlesuit where the pilot was good friends with them and decided to customize it to be kroot-like.

[@Micheal_Porter]

Was considering doing something similar to how he did the rider here, but clinging to the side of a battlesuit from straps/mesh of some kind. A go between between the kroot vanguard and the T'au

[@hannaelia6279]

My boyfriend and I are doing a kroot piloted Ghost Keel for a 1000pts list that's half a Tau / Demiurge doubles list.

[@rubenmazza_]

I vote for you to create an entire tau army kroot themed. Freaking amazing dude!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I would love to, if only I didn't have a hundred more ideas for other armies I'd like to build 🤣

[@user-ds8rj2vc4v]

@@PeteTheWargamer Would love to see an Inner Circle Dark Angel converted into a Grey Knight Purifier.

[@---we1ok]

@@PeteTheWargamerAnything can be a Kroot if it is tasty enough.

[@Bobb5555555555555555]

the work on the gold parts is so good. The whole thing is amazing as usual but the gold is just so eye catching

[@permixtg4322]

I've always loved the idea of making full armies from the "side factions" like the Kroot. The other two being Tzaangors and Sisters of Silence.

[@TheHorreK2]

As an Tau Player of DaW: Dark Crusade: there can never be enough Kroot.

Hell yes

[@kaoswarrior1980]

Pete... ya don't need to ask if we want to see more - you knock it out of the park each time you show us anything and we will always come back for more!!

[@paddiem19]

More kroot, more kroot, more kroot.

[@samuelalexandermarkovnikov891]

Honestly, pack a squad of stealthsuits in there too and the Broadside is still operating at ~95% capacity. Especially with the buff to the Stealthsuit's guiding/spotting ability.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

That's true, just having some markerlights will help massively.

[@swanurine]

seeing you carve creases into the padding, add stitches, and make straps was like watching a renaissance craftsman

[@fuse625151]

Yes to more kroot. Yes to Tau, for the Greater Good

[@Bastion85859]

I don't care what Pete says about his sculpting work being rudimentary😂 - bro is an absolute legend with that green stuff.🎉😮 Keep up the good work!!

[@Ruggfish]

I'm so glad you went for the scavenged tech on beasts look. It looks so good. Really hoping for more kroot content. I love them as a species

[@Alphy55]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! The Tau are such a fun faction to kitbash and there’s so many ideas you can do for auxiliary units that can be considered canon! MORE TAU!

[@left4cash]

Thanks for blurring the final product in the thumbnail, much better not knowing beforehand

[@Shawn-bl5ok]

Great job. Keep doing more Tau/Kroot kit bashing. Don't forget the Gue'vesa For the greater good

[@tko_5]

Yessssss more kroot models!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brendanmartin3359]

Definitely more Kroot conversions haha

[@7hird3ye]

Holy hell this was a gorgeous conversion. Also, as a fan of rhe T'au I am so happy to see Kroot love from GW and on your channel. Keep up the beautiful artwork my dude

[@zylowolfzan3345]

I love Kroot! Kroot are super cool and one of my favorite races from WH40k's universe. They're just super cool both in visual design as well as their lore. They're super fascinating, and I always feel that they need more representation. Good to see the new Codex expanding on them!

[@Bottle-OBill]

Watching both your sculpting and painting skills develop from when you started to now genuinely inspires me. Your early stuff was really good, but this model was something else. Keep up the great work mate!

[@verathorn1556]

i kit bashed a kroot piloting a ghostkeel a few weeks ago. fewer armor plates and more dead animal bits really made it look like it fit the kroot aesthetic but i dont think i can do too many of my kit bashes that way and continue to maintain the aesthetic. so i think the rest of my kit bashes for the army will likely follow more along the lines of something like this kroot ox broadside.

[@columbatiberius2176]

I remember seeing some "Kroot Battlesuits" that were converted from Sylvaneth Kurnoth models from AoS. Edit: yeah, so it's in a Kroot vs Guard battle report here on YT. The 40k Bunker.

[@Thertra70]

I loved the idea of using a spyglass for a rail gun. Came out perfect and hilarious

[@Weez-2_The-Beez]

I’m absolutely stoked for the all Kroot army!!! It seems that the Kroot Kill Team started my obsession with building an all Kroot army and my only gaming friend was on board with allowing me to build and play with it using modified rules that we came up with. Now it seems that my side project has become reality and I couldn’t be happier😁 Oh yeah awesome kitbash for sure 🤘

[@philippojer4293]

Omg, love the green stuff work, 😊 my green stuff is never that good😢, the overall outcome is great, keep up the good work😊 cheers Phil

[@HolyHandGrenadeOfAntioch12]

Awesome conversion! I always get excited for comes after "...and leaving me...with this"

Would love to see your take on a forest dragon and a necrolith colossus some day.

[@benjaminjack867]

Looks fantastic!

[@wpb5876]

Looks amazing!!

[@DerSisch]

There were a wide variety of Kroot once, including a flying Kroot subspecies with wings, that could be interesting as "Rule-Vespid-wise" units for the Kroot army.

[@spacerat1271]

Great video, I wanted to do something similar since I saw the kroot hunting kit. I just never though that I would be able to do it. So seeing someone else do it really makes it feel like a reachable goal. Now I can't wait to make a full army like this.
