	The '''Kroot Conga Line''' was a famous [[lulz]]y game in a ''[[Warhammer 40k\|40k]]'' tournament in which a [[White Scars]] player found himself [[Not As Planned\|shut down and "destroyed" in his first turn]] by two squad of 13[[Kroot]] Warriors. While similar tactics were commonplace at the time with [[Ork]]s, taking things to the extreme of tabling your opponent by ''deploying'' in such a public event was unprecedented and attached a stigma of WIN to the Kroot to this day.

	The White Scars player flagged down a judge, and together they pored through the rulebook, looking for some kind of out that would let the White Scars actually play. Legend says the judges were sick and tired of this guy anyway, but it hardly matters. The Tau were winners by default, as the White Scars couldn't take any turns, contest any objectives, or battle and kill any Tau.

	The battle became famous on the interwebz, passed around forums and Reddit, and used as the butt of jokes and "hey check out this cool Tau tactic!" in Tau list articles (such as our very own). It's believed that it even influenced the 6th edition rulebook, when they added in the rules mandating players to start with half their army on the board, though that was more likely to [[nerf]] reserve spam lists.
