kroot Carnivore squads are the most common auxiliaries
serving alongside the Tau armies. The Kroot worlds have
long been part of the empire, ever since a tau expeditionary
force helped liberate several kroot enclaves from Ork
domination. The Kroot warriors have a strict code of
honour and, in return for the support of the Tau empire,
supply large numbers of warriors as exclusive mercenaries.
Their self-sufficiency and unparalleled fieldcraft are
a major asset to the Tau and a useful contrast to their
more technologically dependent masters. Kroot squads
may also contain the lumbering Krootox and agile Kroot
Hounds.
Whilst the Tau find the Kroot's predilection for eating
the flesh of their vanquished foes barbaric, it is hoped
that prolonged exposure to the Tau's sensibilities and
culture will eventually purge them of this distasteful
habit. Despite this, the Kroot are afforded virtually
the same level of respect as a Tau, since their skill
at arms is much valued by the less physically able Tau.
The Kroot are honoured for their martial prowess and
are rewareded for their efforts, as befits loyal citizens
of the Tau empire.
A Kroot Carnivore Squad may be included in your Tau
army as a Troop choice.
