Convert The New Kroot For The Best Warhammer Fantasy Army? #OTTWeekender
March 15, 2024 by brennon
It's OTTWeekender time! In this week's show, we have a chat about the new Kroot coming out this weekend for pre-order and how they're actually perfect to be converted for use in some Fantasy wargames! The new Kroot look awesome and could be turned into a great alternative Fantasy army for use in Warhammer games and beyond.
Lloyd was certainly right that you could get some good conversions together and turn those Sci-Fi weapons into black powder ones from an ancient period of time.

First.
Noooooooooooo!
Early Start! Disqualified!
Woot for the Kroot.
Lloyd.??
I’ve just received a few Age of Sigmar figures. I’m interested to see what the new edition brings.
It will be very interesting. I have been playing for a few months now and really enjoy the mechanics. I am starting to really enjoy the fluff as well
Sumorai 😀
I’m betting Justin hit the pub after this show lol
Recovery was needed!
@warzan was on fire this episode. Didn’t realise I’d missed his historical chats.
I thought Kroot evolved depending on what they ate. So if they’re eating more humans surely they’re going to look more humanoid.
If he sees this then he’s going to be finding all sorts to talk about no doubt!
Hi weekenderers let the fun begin folk’s
Ooh Skaven!
Got to love those rat men. New Skaven ahead and a range refresh hopefully.
Fingers crossed! They really need it for some of the range – especially Clan Eshin
I can see @Warzan sitting doing his Star-Trek shouting shields shields ?
It’s Big Bird’s army.??
What about future dinosaur’s that came back to live on earth ?
or the one’s in the book’s invading earth ?
just pick the time period for the army’s they are fighting against ? @warzan
I’ve no interest in actually playing Age of Sigmar but would love to build to a Skaven army for OPR
Fingers crossed for you then!
Great show guy’s
Here. IT’s where the weekend starts
Oh, rats!
Could be tempted back into the old world with that prize, but Discworld… no thanks, I can’t think of anything worse than TP stuff
Could be a good way for you to start up some Old World goodness and get them on squares. Don’t say that about Discworld – Sam will somehow hear you…
A tight well scripted show…and then warren shows up. God bless him, no schedule for that man
Both a blessing and a curse
cant go wrong with Dwarfs
My weekend starts here, indeed.
The weekend starts here
Just recently gotten into 40k. The Kroot don’t make a ton of sense to me aesthetically compared to the rest of the Tau. Fantasy definitely seems a better fit
I think it would be great to see Lloyd/Warren’s idea turn into something interesting, looking at it from a black powder perspective
The Kroot look really good. Been thinking of starting a Tau army for a while.
thunder cats vs rats – thank you Warren for this idea
