ok first a little background on the kroot

kroot is a race from the warhammer 40k universe, fighting alongside with tau, who fights all races in the game. kroots are barbaric, and the tau use them as backup because of their close combat skill. the kroot also eat their prey in the middle of the battlefield, and gets the same attributes as the prey (eating a sharpshooter will improve accuaricy) however if they eat too much, they can become trapped inside a dog-like body.

so you would be a kroot, living on a planet in the tau imperium, you can chose to scavenge your planet, go to others if enough money (or if you have eaten a tech guy (orc mek boyz, space marine servitors etc) you can build a spaceship, and vehicles) do quests other kroots give you, or fight in the tau wars.

When fighting with tau, you meet different kinds of enemies with good skills you can use. If you do well on the battlefield you can also gain hi-tech weapons\armour\equipment.

leveling system. you gain attributes from what you eat. heres a little system.
lvl-enemies killed-enemies you can get attributes from
1 0 0
2 2 1
3 4 2
4 8 4
5 16 8
(i think you get the idea)


different attributes
strenght: you should understand this one. 1+ for every normal enemie (troopers) depending on enemie lvl.
agility: same as above
marksmanship: 1+ eating various snipers. depending on lvl.
close combat: depending on your level. 0,5+ per enemie killed in cc at lvl one - lvl 3 at lvl 3-6 1+ etc
mechanics: 1+ (depending on eneime lvl) per servitor\mek boy

whadda ya think so far?im a little tired right now....

i know there are about 5 mods using games workshop titles and about three comics, and one that says bad things about working for games workshop (and that suggest that creeps and glue sniffers come there)

Actually Games Workshop can be very supportive of fan-material; if it's of a good quality and doesn't debase their own work or get in their way, lol.

Not a bad idea. I like to see people doing something other than Space Marines for 40k material. I agree with ambershee too. If it is of a good quality, I am sure GW loves it. Get's the word out that 40k is great. Obviously poor mods/games *cough* Fire Warrior *cough* show poor representations of what 40k is about, and I am sure GW doesn't appreciate that at all. And obviously if ppl go around saying "This Warhammer 40k idea was all mine" then yes, GW might be a little upset

Tau are awesome. Stopped playing WH40K a year ago though.

I have like 2000 points of Dark Angels - I like the idea though... I hope it won't be too much like FireWarrior though :P

I know it's an RPG this one but still :O

if i would get a team, i would like it to be so that you fight against nids, humans (ig,sm and csm) eldars, orks....

i havent missed a race have i? the tau are at war against everyone.
also you could fight alongside humans (not csm) and eldars. they arent always at war

For those who doesn't know...

Nids: Tyranids
SM: Space Marines
IG: Imperial Guard
CSM: Chaos Space Marines
Eldars: The Eldar
Orks: Self-explanatory

And yes you did miss a race. Daemon Hunters, Dark Eldar and Necrons for example.

daemon hunters counts as humans =)
and necrons would probably be too hard =)

and dark eldar.... well im not a eldar fan, so i count them under eldars (now the eldar fans will be pissed=))
