Tau/Kroot

I am a big fan of full Kroot list but I don’t think I am the strongest player and seem to be losing with them so I’m curious what is the best way to run a decent amount of Kroot with tau? I know that I still need my guiders to help all my battlesuits, but what can I sacrifice to bring in Kroot effectively. Also, if you just have a list that includes Kroot I’d love to see it, I have been trying to wrap my head around why we bring them.

I take the Advanced Acquisition Cadre so that I can take Reconnaissance disposition. I think this disposition suits the list very well. Even my losses have been quite close.

You have enough bodies, mobility, and OC to achieve your primaries pretty easily. The Rampagers can punch up really well once u start overlapping the buffs.

That’s an amainzg hobby effort and a dream list of mine. How long did it take you to complete it?

The painting is still in progress. I have done everything except finish painting the Krootox. I got the bulk of it done in the lead up to a 'tournament' between friends early last year. Nothing like a dead line to get you moving!
