    You can't tell me the Kroot weren't based on the Yautja. If anything, though, they're even more bad-assed than Yautja. They might not be quite as robust, but they're a lot more flexible, a lot more agile, and just flatout frickin' SAVAGE. It's something else to see a naked alien with Paleolithic stone-and-bone weapons take on an Astartes embodying and wearing some of the greatest technical achievements humanity has developed in forty thousand years...and just rip him right out of his armor and devour him.

    I really wish the Kroot were more flushed out. For a species that supposed to be continuously evolving by picking and choosing different traits. They really aren’t that varied that much. It would be sick if different packs had different specialties. I don’t understand why some Kroot who’ve consumed Eldar dont have psycic abilities or ones that have fought against humans aren’t more adept at using tools and vehicles.

    • @morzorkatvfm
      @morzorkatvfm Před 4 měsíci

      Kroot who eat Eldar can and have evolved psychic powers, iirc against the Silver Skulls. Human genetics are otherwise unremarkable, there's nothing humans can do that Kroot can't at a biological level. As for being adept at technology, they already possess equal tech compared to the Imperium, but they refuse to use it unless they have to because they think reliance on technology makes them weak.

      It's from Battlefleet Gothic. The Kroot are descendants of a highly advanced civilization. But the kicker is that this civilization decided to deliberately embrace primitivity as they found new appreciation for their genetic absorption trait. They still kept some of their ancient artefacts, a few weapons and of course their space ships. But other than that they no longer care about civilization, only the hunt and growing through their prey. They basically won the game of civilization, got bored and decided to go do something else.

"This bird humanoid can eat them." Blah blah, on and on it goes. This video even shows a Kroot trying to stab a SPACE MARINE in POWER ARMOR with a knife. And I'm sure in the lore he can kill the space marine with a knife too. 'Cuz it's a special magical power knife or something that can pierce the POWER ARMOR of a Space Marine which is otherwise nearly invincible.

      Indeed, there are huge disparities between power levels in the different books, but this kind of looseness lets the fans of each faction have their own "special" army. As a plot point, it would be terrifying to have the necrons as these truly indestructible constructs, but for a tabletop game, its far more compelling, and "rule accurate" to allow these odd situations to come and go.
