Krootworm Pack

A less known variant of kroot, a Krootworm is a giant worm-like creature found in desert areas of Pech. It uses its enormous beak to dig into the sand and dirt and burst from under its prey to swallow it whole.

Flyers

Kroothawk Flock

The original ancestors of the current days kroot, in ancient times the skies of Pech were filled by these enormous beasts, but now only a few are left.

Fortifications

Hidden Mines

Ambushes are a specialty of the kroots like many other subtle ways of fighting. One of the most obscure but effective is the employment of explosives hidden under the ground that blow up any intruder that steps on it. They are quite dangerous, as friendly kroots can be hit by the explosion, but the damage they produce is well worth the risk.

This unit contains 3 Hidden Mines (Power Rating: 2). It can contain up to 3 additional Hidden Mines (Power Rating: +2) or up to 6 additional Hidden Mines (Power Rating: +4).

Each time a Hidden Mine explodes, roll a D6; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds on every unit within 3", and on a 6 it inflicts D6 mortal wounds instead.

Crusade Rules

Agendas

  • Hunting Expedition: The shaper has spoken, a new hunt will begin, and with that a new harvest for his kindred.
Keep an Hunting tally for each Kroot Kindred unit from your army. At the end of each Shooting or Fight phase, add 1 to that unit's Hunting tally if it destroyed 1 or more enemy units that battle round.
At the end of the battle, each unit gains 1 experience point for every 2 marks on its Hunting tally.
  • Military Espionage: Sometimes the contract requires a stealthy approach to the battle, this is of no problem to the kroot, for their abilities are well adapted to work in the dark.
Kroot Infantry units from your army can attempt the following action:
Military Espionage (Action): At the end of your Movement phase, one unit from your army that is within 12" of an enemy Character and not inside its line of sight can start to perform this action. This action is completed at the start of your next Command phase. This action cannot be attempted more than once for each enemy Character.
Each time this Action is completed you gain 3 Victory Points.
  • Taker of Heads: The best way to defeat one's target is to cut their head, be it figuratively or literally, it works either way.
Each time a unit from your army kills an enemy Character or leader model (e.g. Space Marine Seargent) during the Fight phase, that unit gains 1 experience point.

Requisitions

  • DNA Acquired (2 RP): Battling against a myriad of opponents has its benefits, like obtaining different sorts of DNA with which to evolve.
Purchase this Requisition after a victory is achieved in a battle against an army that doesn't have the Kroot, Necrons, Blackstone Constructs or Chaos keyword. Select one unit from your army and randomly assign one trait from the DNA Assimilation Stratagem from the respective faction to that unit. If your Crusade force includes a Kroot Shaper unit, then you can choose the trait instead of rolling it and apply it both to that unit and the Kroot Shaper. Add 1 to the Crusade points of units affected by this Requisition accordingly and make a note on its Crusade card. This Requisition can only be used once per battle.
  • Healthy Budget (0 RP): Achieving the employer's goals is something indeed important for a mercenary. If those who pay you become richer, then so will your payment.
Purchase this Requisition when you purchase the Increase Supply Limit Requisition. If your army contains a number of units that don't possess the Kroot keyword greater than those who do, select one Kroot unit in your army; that unit immediately benefits from the Fresh Recruits or Rearm and Resupply Requisition.
  • Mount Acquired (1 RP): Owning a Knarloc is a symbol of great courage and control, these warriors have differed from the rest on the battlefield and so they are granted their place in the winds.
Purchase this Requisition after a battle. Select one Infantry Kroot Shaper, Kroot Beast-hunter or Tribal Guards unit from your army that has obtained a Battle Trait this game. That unit can be upgraded to ride a Knarloc without any additional points increase. If so, add 1 to the Crusade points of the unit and make a note on its Crusade card. This Requisition can't target Kroot Shaper units with Wings or units with the Krootor Companion Upgrade.

Battle Traits

Kindred Units (without the Kroot Predators keyword)

  • 1) Alien Reinforcements: When the chances are odd, it's always nice to have additional troops on the field, for an additional price that is.
This unit does not count towards the number of Kroot units in your army when following the Alien Mercenaries Detachment Rule.
  • 2) Fearsome Hunters: Countless battles have turned these kroot warriors into fearsome experts at killing their target.
Add 1 to the attack characteristic of models in this unit.
  • 3) Genetic Code Reshuffling: Kroot physiology is extremely versatile when it comes to evolutionary traits and some kroots are capable of assuming multiples at once.
This unit benefits from one additional Evolutionary Trait.

Kroot Predators Units

  • 1) Accelerated Metabolism: The cellular functions of these kroot beasts are highly sped up, granting them more energy but at a higher food cost.
When this unit charges, roll an additional D6 and subtract the lowest result.
  • 2) Aggressive Predators: Nurtured with the blood of their prey, these beasts know well the warmth of fresh insides and that has turned them into fearsome predators.
Add 1 to the attack characteristic of models in this unit. If this unit is a Cavalry, then instead make one additional attack with that unit's Sharp Beak and Talons.
  • 3) Unparalleled Ferocity: These beasts have been trained in the midst of war; for them, every second is a battle for survival, and they'll show their strength with every bite and scratch.
Re-roll hit rolls of 1 when attacking with weapons from the Kroot Predators Weapons list.

Kroot Shaper Units

  • 1) Leader of the Pack: In this tribe, no one dares to argue the will of this individual, for only he is the true leader of the kindred.
Add 3" to this model's The Shaper Commands special rule.
  • 2) Renowned Mercenary: As the fame of this individual rises, so does the pay required to keep it on this side of the conflict.
If your army contains a number of units that don't possess the Kroot keyword greater than those who do, each time this model gains a Battle Trait after this, you gain 1 Requisition point. Requisition points gained this way can only be used to purchase Requisitions that target Kroot units in your Crusade force.
  • 3) Taker of Trophies: This individual takes great pleasure in taking little mementos of its past hunts. These trophies only serve to boost the fighting spirit of those around it.
Each time this model slays an enemy Character or leader model (e.g. Space Marine Seargent) during the Fight phase, friendly Kindred units within 6" of it add 1 to their Leadership characteristic to a maximum of 10.

Shaman Units

  • 1) Channeling of the Ancestors' Might: With great concentration, this shaman channels inside itself the power of the past high shamans, so they can guide it once more.
This unit can invoke one additional Invocation during your Command phase.
  • 2) Favored of the Spirits: Those watching from above have taken a particular liking to this kroot and they do their best to aid it when the time comes.
Invocations invoked by this unit do not count towards the number of times those Invocations can be invoked during your Command phase.
  • 3) Wisdom of Past Hunts: Stories passed down from one generation to the next have provided this shaman with great knowledge in the sacred arts of the kindred.
When this unit is trying to invoke an Invocation, add 1 to the result of the roll.

Hunting Trophies

Each time a Kroot Shaper or Kroot Beast-hunter from your army kills an enemy Character or leader model (e.g. Space Marine Seargent) during the Fight phase, add one Trophy token to its Crusade card.

For every fifth trophy gained, you can select one of the abilities shown below for that Character unit. Increase its Crusade points by 1 for each of these abilities selected. No model can have more than three of these abilities.

  • Adept of the Killing Blow: This dreaded hunter has mastered the art of the Killing Blow. When facing against it, there's no armor too thick or blade too strong which can withstand its attack.
When this Character attacks during the Fight phase, instead of rolling for its attack as usual, it can perform a Killing Blow. If so, make only one hit roll with the chosen weapon, but double the Strength and Damage characteristic of that attack. In addition, enemy models must halve the result of their save rolls when rolling for this attack. After performing a Killing Blow, the Character can't fight again that Fight phase, regardless of any Stratagem or Special Rule.
  • Breaker of Machines: Mechanical adversaries aren't seen often by the kroots, but this individual has fought far and wide and is now adapted to these strange beings' weaknesses.
On a wound roll of 6+ against Vehicle, Blackstone Constructs or Necrons units, the target suffers D3 mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage.
  • Master of Venom: Venom is a brutal weapon capable of instantly ending a hunt if used correctly. It's only natural for a skilled hunter to take full advantage of this deadly substance.
Attacks made by this model always wound on a wound roll of 2+, unless the target is a Vehicle or a Titanic unit. If this model is equipped with Venom Coat, then add 1 to the damage characteristic of weapons this model is equipped with instead.
  • Patient Assassin: The most deadlier of hunters is the one that knows when is the perfect time to strike its target from the shadows.'
At the start of the game, before the battle begins, chose one enemy Character that is on the battlefield. This model can only target that enemy model but, in addition, for each battle round in which this model is not in the Engagement Range of that enemy Character, it gains one of the traits below. These traits are cumulative but they stop being awarded after the first time this model arrives within the Engagement Range of that enemy model.
-This model adds 1 to its hit rolls against the enemy Character.
-Wounds caused by this model can't be intercepted in any way.
-The enemy Character can't disengage from this model.
-Halve the result of the enemy Character's armor saving throws against attacks made by this model.
  • Slayer of Warpspawn: Creatures tainted by the influences of the otherworld risk to ruin the hunting grounds who are homeland to the kroot from generations. For this reason, they have to be stopped.
Daemon and Psyker units suffer one additional damage from attacks made by this model. In addition, Daemon and Psyker must subtract one from their Invulnerable saves while within 6" of this model.
  • Striker of the Weak: This kroot knows the best time to strike is when its enemy is at its lowest because is at that time that its defenses are the most fragile.
This Character can re-roll failed wound rolls against models that have lost at least half of their starting number of wounds.

Weapon Enhancements

Kroot Weapons

-1) Fast Reload: Strength isn't the only thing that makes a weapon powerful on the battlefield, rate of fire too is an essential characteristic to consider, and the added magazine capacity of this weapon makes full use of this logic.

-2) Firm Handle: An abrasive layer wrapped around the handle greatly improves efficiency in battle, albeit at the cost of slight discomfort.

Each time the bearer fights, it makes 1 additional attack with this weapon.

-3) Serpentine Flail: Betterly balanced with added spikes, this whip soars through the air to envelop the enemy in a barbed prison.

Barbed Whip only. When making an attack with a Barbed Whip, make two hit rolls for each enemy model within 2" instead of only one.

Kroot Predators Weapons

-1) Cheramite Fangs and Talons: These fangs are so sharp, they are able to pierce through anything like air.

Improve the Ap characteristic of this weapon by two points (e.g. Ap: 0 becomes Ap: -2, and so on).

-2) Implanted Toxins: Careful selection of alien DNA has developed toxin glands inside the bodies of these kroot beasts, making every wound and scratch even deadlier.

When making an attack with this weapon, add 1 to the wound roll.

-3) Improved Muscle Strength: Thicker muscles turn the fearful impact of a kroot beast into an unstoppable force of carnage.

Improve the Damage characteristic of this weapon by one point (e.g. Damage: 1 becomes Damage: 2, and so on).
