Title: Kroot
Post by: AesirRey on July 06, 2012, 10:03:11 AM
Hi there, first posting so appologies if this is in the wrong place.

I'm in the delightfully unlucky position of being laid up with a badly broken leg at the moment so I'm looking for things to paint.

I was contemplating getting the Inquisitor Kroot kit from GW, does anyone know if it still comes with the bits to make a generic carnivore or only the bits to make the character version?

Sorry to hear about the leg! never good.

I bought the kit just recently, didn't see much in the way of conversion stuff so I think you only get the one option.

Thanks, been nearly 6 weeks now immobile, been working on my Circle Orboros for Hordes and now I'm in the mood for something a little more sci-fi.

Shame that they ommit those bits of the kit, I always loved the idea of the more generic Kroot. They did at one point include both in the same way they did with the Eldar Ranger. Might go ebay hunting.

Its a difficult question to answer as when SG did the reshuffle of what was going OOP and not, the official position was that all Kroot packs now have the plain head and rifle (what was then part of the conversion pack) so you should receive what you call the 'generic Kroot'. However, even after the reshuffle it isn't unheard of for some people to receive the original character Kroot bits instead...or very rarely, both.

When I get home from work, I'll take a picture of what you get in the kit, probably best way to see!
