ooooh nice idea

but i thought of an upright walking huge Kroot, using a Krootox head adding the 'hair' with Greenstuff etc.

edit:

@Tael: i like to combine parts of the Kroot-Guns and their 'new' weapon (like the Flamer and the Plasma) it gives them a bit more Kroot'ish look and it can count as a Knife (even though knives don't need to be displayed).

think about it, Ganger1 runs towards the Kroot with flamer, pushes the flamer aside, the Kroot pulls up the gun and pierces the Ganger with the flamer blade those kroots are nasty bastards

okay i hope this one is big enough (or atleast bigger)


1. WiP Kroot (Assassin?) 2. 'Man-Kindred' Kroot with Flamer 3. Heavy Kroot with Plasma gun

okay here are some bigger pictures,



the ones of the plasmagun-Kroot follow in a second.

Did a quick browse of the thread... is that second Kroot preaching from a Digital Bible?

Curious modellers need to know

~ Tael.

If you must know, it's a hymnal. Being of avian decent, Kroot have uncommonly good singing voices.

Nice conversions Che

actually its the 'Imperial Infantrymans Uplifting Primer' its your pick if he reads from it, sings out of it, or laughs over the stuff written in it.

The kroot gang is coming along very nicely. You should get a plastic ogre from the fantasy range and convert him into an oversized thug for your gang.

thats the plan ... sort of.

i think i found something that i could convert into an Ogrin-Kin (or whatsoever) Kroot.

i think that one could be changed into a big Kroot that can run around with a heavy gun, even though i don't know if it has the right size ...

He's a slightly larger than a GW ork. Most of privateers trollkin are on a 40 mm base like terminators. Most of the older trollkin models in iron kingdoms and warmachine are the "civilized" trollkins which are smaller and smarter, the trollkin from their hordes game are much larger models, there's a definate size differance.

There's 3 distinct sizes they come in, medium based infantry, medium warbeast, and heavy warbeast both the infantry and medium warbeast use 40 mm bases, but the warbeast are much larger and basicing overflowing off the bases.

The medium infantry is slightly larger than most GW models, most are about the same size as a GW ork.

That model will work great with a heavy bolter or some simular big gun.

Thanks paulson,

i will have to think about it, best would be if i could see that model for real, i guess i have to check for stores around here that sell them and compare.

Ok here's a rough size compairison.

marine, medium troll infantry, medium warbeast, heavy warbest

The trollkin is a boomhowler trollkin mercenary from warmachine, pretty much the same size as the iron kingdoms guy you linked to. Trollkin infantry models are his height or better, some are 2-3 mm taller. The hordes med & heavy warbeast are pretty huge.

great Paulson

now i can 'picture' it, the second one, size-wise, would be best for what i am thinking of,

but the first one would propably be big enough for the Green-Kin one i was thinking about for so long.

i think i'll have to sleep about it ...
