*'''[[Great_Knarloc|Great Knarloc]]<sup>{{W40kKeyword|Kroot}},Forge World,Legends</sup>''': GMO space chickens taken to the extreme. These big melee brutes can equip a bolt thrower (Assault 6  S6 AP-1 D1) with obligatory kroot rifle, a twin kroot gun (Rapid fire 2 S7 AP-1 Dd3), or baggage harness (Kroot within 6" get exploding 6s to hit at range). Has turbo boost and can inflict MW on a single unit it charged, dealing D3 on a 4-5, or a flat 3 on 6. For melee, with 4 S7 swings hitting on 3+, you're dealing a whopping AP-4 at 3 damage each. Pair this with a Shaper (made a warlord with A Ghost Walks Among Us, so he can keep up with Rexy here) and you'll be ripping space marines in half. If you're doing a fun Kroot list, Great Knarlocs should absolutely be an auto-include.
**Because all of the K-Rex's wargear are 0 points, having one with the baggage harness, coupled with a Shaper for re-rolls, babysitting a few gangs of Krootoxes could make a surprisingly brutal gunline. However, we then remember that Kroot aren't very good at shooting, so the effectiveness of this is up for debate.
** Alternatively, at only 65 points (wargear included), T6, 9W, and 4+ save, a Great Knarloc is only slightly less defensive than units like Carnifexes and Deff Dreads, all while being consistently cheaper. Slap a bolt thrower on it so it can keep some shooting up, and with the auto-advance and mortal wounds, it can make a fairly decent bullet-sponge/battering ram.
