to such an extend that the tau told the kroot to stop eating them because they became so annoying to work with

i liked when kroot nick said "its krootin time" and then proceeded to kroot over everything

I accidentally restarted the video and used the "Kroot Counter" to get back to where I was 😂

Edit: Apparently I did not account for people reading the comments before watching the video, so I'm going to push my apparently very spoilery comment down so that you have to click "Read More" to see it rather than delete it. Apologies to those who have apparently been spoiled by someone commenting on a video after they watched it and commenting on the content of said video. For as much as the Kroot seemed to be getting mulched, the fact that Nick still could have won on points at the end says a lot about the game. Being able to keep bringing back wiped units to essentially redeploy where needed was really what made this detachment tick it seems.

As with a few armies in 10th edition though they shouldn't be competitive simply by spamming one particular trick or stratagem. That is always poor game design. Shame as they are awesome otherwise.

@@stuartfields9177I think the detachment becomes a lot more interesting when you think of it being more like taking 1000-1200 points of Kroot and then you take the rest as Tau to fill the gaps and give you some real guns. Then you kinda get the best of both worlds.

@anvos658

A close combat option that because of GW doesn't interact with most of other detachment strategems and doesn't benefit from the army rule though. The Kroot Detachment is something if you want an army that can actually do stuff in more than one phase though. This match though did point out what the theory crafters thought, that Kroot really need a pair of Tau heavies to deal with big targets.

i was actually laughing the entire time the kroot counter was up, you should have kept that up the entire time!

While Kroot are obviously the focus here, I just want to add that I recently started playing CSM using a Horus Heresy model based army and my god are they fun! I really love the dark pacts rule and the flexibility of models/loadouts makes them so fun to create. Also Abaddon is just so nasty - but I love watching CSM get played.

Damn, that is a nice looking table. The game looked like what would happen if a fully armed chaos marine army met Gungans. Brutal.

Nick forgot SO many of the +1 to hits against targets under starting strength and he still did really well.

Kroot Army is cool, but I feel like they do need a Hammerhead and/or Skyray, or maybe a squad of Broadsides, sitting in the back to give them some of the heavy-weapon oomph that they lack.

That Demon prince looks sick

That's alot of kroot

You guys got me into the hobby love everything you do, thank you all very much.

ahh the Kroot duped into being fodder for the Tau' from the beginning.

Coming from a tau/kroot fan... That game was rough! They seem to be going for a squishy hoard army but without any tanky units or really powerful shooting/melee! Without maybe a greater gnarlock or a squad of lesser ones, I'm pretty sure the kroot will be relegated to a flashy and fun army with no competitive umpf. Stuck as the wall of bodies to add onto a "regular" tau fighting force. BUT, as a force you add onto an existing one, I think these guys have some AMAZING potential! Always fun to see the 2 most charismatic members of PlayOn having a good tussle. GO TYKO THE UNBREAKABLE! and Nicky the Risky! or maybe Nick the Bomb?

That Beat of Nurgle is so killer! I love that paint job

I like the Kingdon Death die appearance.

love that y’all did this! i have a log. way to go before i can run a full kroot army but it’s def gonna be on my list

I enjoy the mid-game realisation this was the game Nick was probably talking about in the Tau codex video where he reinforced 70 kroot.

I'm excited for this.

That table is awesome! Good to see the Kroot in action. Some great new Kroot sculpts. ...Kroot

Let’s go Kroot!

Fantastic game Nick and Tycho! Wow! Swap out for some broadsides, hammer head and/or crisis suits, to add some much needed high powered guns and this could be extremely competitive. Great game!

Love watching both Nick and Tycho play! Fun game to watch guys

Wow, Tycho has such a beautifully painted army

That's a crazy awesome Daemon Prince.

I feel like it really hurts the kroot that they dont get the army rule. To have an army rule that basically doesn't work with one of the detachments at all feels a little bad. Let alone that the T'au already have fewer detachments than the rest of the released codexes.

I hope some madlads take the Kroot to tournaments so CA can buff them when their winrate sits at 20%^^.

so this is for Mubin for a fun combo i found with the Thousand Sons Scarab Occult Terminators. so, first i pick Sustained hits 1 for all psychic weapons for my detachment ability. then i get my Scarab Occult Terminators 12" of one of your units i just want dead. Inferno-Combi Bolters have 2 shots each with Rapid Fire 2 and a range of 24", Rapid Fire 2 triggers cause that enemy unit is within half the range of the Inferno-Combi Bolters. so instead of 16 shots that 32 shots. then i spend a CP on a strategem on one that gives my ranged weapons psychic and strength 5. so that means the Inferno Combi-Bolters have sustained hits. then my Sorcerer in Terminator Armour picks that unit for his ability, so i re-rolls 1s to hit! then my Sorcerer in Terminator Armour has his other ability on the unit, Lethal hits! so that means thats 32 shots, Sustained Hits 1 (i get an extra hit on 6s) and Lethal Hits (means for each 6, that hit auto wounds) with re-rolling 1s! THEN I CAST THE RITUAL TO MAKE THAT UNIT NOT ABLE TO MAKE SAVING THROWS! THEN IF MY SCARAB OCCULT TERMINATORS ARE WITHIN 6" OF MAGNUS THEY ADD 1 TO HITS AND WOUNDS! THAT IS 32 SHOTS, HITTING ON 2s, LETHAL HITS, SUSTAINED HITS 1, AND +1 TO WOUNDS THAT NO ONE CAN SAVE!

It seems that Kroot Nick had a great time in the video.

Fun drinking game: take a shot each time anyone says the word kroot

Anyone else think that when Nick rolled snake eyes for the Kroot shotgun, both barrels explode and kill the kroot, like Elmer Fudd in the old cartoons? Lol. All joking aside, gg to both Tycho and Nick. Very fun game to watch.

Bruh, before I go in "SPOILERS "...... Nick you need to work on your roll arm my guy. I feel you could've put a hurt on the Chaos if some rolls played out correctly. With that being said I'm in luv with Kroot their so cool and I wanna see what they do if their assisted with some Crisis Suits. Like a Suit goes in puts damage in and Kroot come in out of the smoke and over welm the target. Or the Kroot do their damage and Suits drop in to make the save. The ideas I have from this video. I can't wait for more. I hope other army's get something now and not just the Space Marines cause they got everything at this point. Then again, I'm new to all of this and just learning from these videos. Awesome work guys as usual.
