More Kroot are on the way as Games Workshop revealed brand new Hounds models and some rules from the upcoming Tau Warhammer 40k codex!
GW promised more Kroot, and they are delivering with more new Kroot models and rules from the upcoming Tau Warhammer 40k codex. They also say this isn’t the last release of new miniatures for Kroot, so don’t be worried if you haven’t seen everything you were hoping for. This is also the first time we’ve seen rules for the new Kroot, so it gives a good idea of what to expect!
New Tau Kroot Hounds & Rules Tear into Warhammer 40k!
Here is the latest on the new Kroot Hounds miniatures and rules.
You didn’t really think we’d leave the loyal hounds behind, did you? This pack of Kroot Hounds have slipped their collars to tear across the battlefield, snapping beak-like jaws and shredding unfortunate prey with razor-sharp claws.
The new minis look great! While, they feel like the old hounds, but definitely look updated for 10th Edition.
Hunting packs of Koot Hounds are unleashed to savage exposed flanks and chase down fleeing foes, driven into a frenzy by the scent of blood. Their incredible speed can punch through enemy lines to catch vulnerable targets – especially when goaded by an attendant squad of Kroot Carnivores.
While they don’t say how many come in a box, it looks like you’ll get at least five. We also don’t know how many extra poses they will have, as they only show the same five.
New Kroot 40k Rules
The Loping Pounce ability grants an extra burst of speed by allowing charges after they Advance. At their absolute limit, a pack of these hounds can rocket forwards up to 30” in a single turn – a turn of speed some Aircraft struggle to match.
30″ is no joke! We assume this means they can move 12″, advance 6″, and charge 12″. Hard to say exactly, but that’s what absolute limit means to us.
They’re even handy for capturing objectives, as the Hunting Hounds ability bumps their OC characteristic to 1 when accompanied by a Character. Now if only there were a Kroot Character who could keep up with them…
They will be an independent unit, but you’ll want to keep them close to your units and characters, as they will get buffed up.
The new Kroot Hounds miniatures look great and will probably be great flankers for any 10th Edition Tau or Kroot army.
