Kroot?

I used to play Tau, making extensive use of Kroot. I didn't like the new Codex, so I decided to take my Kroot elsewhere. After putting my CSM army aside for a while, I thought I'd try an IG list with Kroot. What are your experiences with the Kroot Mercenaries List? Good? Bad?

Never tried it, and never will
(my opinion) I feel that the kroot don't mix well with imperial guard, they are really only good for CC, and imperial guard don't really need CC that much, first off, IG should never even get close to getting into CC, if you play your cards right the enemy can be obliterated in a good few rounds, and if someone really wanted a good CC support, they gave IG ogryns, or the grey knights.
For me kroot and imperial guard don't go together well, they simply don't need them that much, really, any army dosen't NEED them. Some may benifit, but if i were you, i would experement with a pure kroot merc list, or just stick with your tau, or start IG if you really want to, but start it using the IG models, not with kroot.

i'd go with .found on this one...mixing IG with kroot doesn't really go well...but i do think that a pure kroot mercinary army is good...especially with all their cool kroot adaptions...not with IG

my friend has an awesome IG army that is a tau auxillary army. he has guard infantry with tau shoulder pads and everything - it looks really sweet. I'll have to ask him if he's ever considered using kroot in his army before because it seems like it'd be a great idea!
as far as your situation is concerned, if you justify it with fluff, then by all means, feel free to create an individualized army that has alot of personality. some of the best armies I know are great not because they have a potent list, but because the story behind them is so well thought out and rich with history.

I was using my Tau army against a friend who played IG, my Kroot earned easily 4X their points that game. They destroyed two fully-upgraded guard infantry squads in CC, even after they had taken considerable fire. He surrendered even before my line infantry got into position! Anyway, never underestimate some Kroot, they can be deadly if they charge, especially to guardsmen. Plus they're only 7pts.
