Kroot Farstalker Kinbands
Hailing from the remote world of Pech, Kroot
(High Gothic: Krootis Aviana) are a xenos species
best known for their service as auxiliaries in the
Tau Empire’s military, mostly due to their planet’s
absorption into the Tau territories during the rst
sphere expansion. Tall and lean and surprisingly
light and nimble considering their immense
strength; the Kroot have humanoid anatomy, but
their biology features a number of avian
characteristics, including beaks and barbed quills
emerging from their skin, particularly
concentrated at the crown of the head. Unlike
most avian species, they do not have a cloaca for
handling waste and instead excrete waste
through their skin as an oily substance.
Known as Carnivores by much of the Imperium,
the Kroot have earned a reputation for eating the
corpses of fallen foes. This is not simply a form of
subsistence, Kroot have a unique biology that
allows them to absorb genetic material from their
prey, incorporating it into their own genetics.
Kroot who subsist on a single food source often
begin to adapt to become more like it, so
choosing prey is considered extremely important
in Kroot culture. Shapers are Kroot tasked with
fi
fi
fi
2
the important job of guiding a clan’s evolution
through selective eating. Kroot consider the
continued absorption of advantageous DNA to be
a religious calling, a likely factor in how the
species has endured in a galaxy with many
threats despite fairly stagnant technology. Kroot
believe that strong warriors’ spirits should remain
after their death, with eating the fallen being the
best way for their spirit to endure. As a result,
ritual cannibalism is an important part of Kroot
funeral services.
Many view the Kroot as nothing more than
mindless animals, but those who have dealings
with them soon discover this is far from the case.
Kroot seem primitive at rst glance, but they are
quick to adapt to new technologies, They are
bound by strict codes of honor, placing the
ful llment of a contract for their martial services
as a religious duty second only to their quest to
strengthen their species through eating as many
viable genetic specimens as possible.
 Numerous Kroot subspecies exist as a result of
runaway uncontrolled genetic adaptation. These
creatures are less intelligent than Kroot and more
bestial, but they are treated by their kin with
respect, and are even part of their kinbands often
as not. The Kroot subspecies seem to be xed
genetically, unable to further alter their genome,
in other words a dead end of Kroot adaptation.
The most common of these dead ends are Kroot
3 Hounds, quadrupedal creatures the size of large
dogs, they are used by the Kroot both individually
as trackers and in hunting packs on the
battle eld. Capable of emitting a piercing cry,
Kroot Hounds are a terrifying force multiplier.
There exist at least a few species of more avian
Kroot, including the Pech’ra and Kroothawk.
These species may actually be the origin of the
Kroot, rather than an evolutionary dead end, but
the Magos Biologis have yet to properly examine
an intact specimen. Another common Kroot
evolutionary dead end is the Krootox, enormous
beasts of burden used by the Kroot for
transportation and as heavy weapons platforms.
Krootox have an ape-like posture, moving upright
with weight on the knuckles of their arms. Their
immense stature makes them slower than their
kin, but they are remarkably hard to kill. Capable
of growth to far greater sizes than even the
Krootox, Knarloc are the mount of choice for the
most elite Kroot in a clan, and are also used as
battle eld support, carrying important supplies
and acting as transport for wounded kin.
Though the Kroot home world is part of the Tau
Empire, Kroot themselves exist spread across the
galaxy, navigating space in large Warspheres, a
ship of Kroot design. Capable of warp travel,
Warspheres act as mobile Kroot hives, housing
countless clans of kindred in their enormous
interiors. The ships appear to be a relic of the
Kroot’s past, a more technologically focused era
before the current dominant culture developed.
They settle on worlds with dense tree cover and
build nests from regurgitated wood pulp. The
Kroot seem to have an adaptation that allows
them to more e ectively coordinate and
communicate nonverbally when living within
these nests, ensuring a strong defense against
any attacker.
Kroot on Necromunda
Necromunda is a study in contradictions. A
crucial resource for the imperium and among the
most productive Manufactorum worlds in the
galaxy, the planet is nonetheless beset by
problems that would, on a less productive world
with a less politically in uential governor, merit
extreme inquisitorial intervention and potentially
even exterminatus. The presence of lingering
threats from the Genestealer infestation that cost
the planet’s second largest hive and the potential
for continued Ork development due to spores
remaining from the Ork invasion that destroyed
the hive known as The Skull are left up to the
governor to manage as long as the planet’s tithes
are met.
As a matter of o cial policy, Xenos species are
not allowed to exist anywhere on Necromunda,
with even the distant human relatives the Votann,
or Squats as they are known on the planet,
prohibited from entering the hives. And yet,
despite these o cial policies, there exists a sort
of exclusion zone in one of the upper spires of
Hive Primus, known as The Stranger. Here xenos
are allowed to visit, in a heavily restricted
capacity, to negotiate trade. It also exists as a
holding area for any xenos escorts or
companions that visiting important individuals
might bring with them planet-side.
As a common and sought after mercenary force,
Kroot are a relatively common sight in the
Stranger, often accompanying Rogue Traders,
returning nobles, and even less o cially
connected merchants with particularly deep
pockets. Detained in a quarantine away from the
planet’s population centers, it is of course o cial
policy that Xenos never leave The Stranger. As
one might expect of such a blanket restriction,
these rules are easier stated than enforced.

The Kroot spread beyond Pech are independent

of the Tau Empire and are known to do business
as mercenaries for any honorable employer who
is willing to pay and bring them new opportunities
to absorb the traits of their enemies and help
strengthen their species.

 Whether through bribery or guile, Xenos have on
many occasions managed to escape quarantine.
However, what they will nd in the immediate
vicinity of the exclusion zone is heavily policed
upper hive domes, an environment where they
both stick out like a sore thumb and risk constant
capture and summary execution by the Palanite
Enforcers. A su ciently in uential gure might
manage to bribe enough enforcers to keep their
entourage intact, but most Xenos who manage to
get into the hive proper have no choice but to ee
down, past the upper domes and their opulent
luxury, past the grinding industrial gears of hive
city, and down into the lawless depths of the
underhive.
In the Outlands and badzones, enforcers are rare
and o cial documentation for bounty hunting is
more of a suggestion than a requirement. This is
a perfect environment for the heavily adaptable
Kroot, they can nd no end of deadly prey to
hunt, and can get paid for their trouble. They are
a rare sight, but when they do occur, their
services are sought after regardless of their
o cial legal designation as outlaws to be purged
on sight.

Most Kroot visiting Necromunda are under
existing contract, bound by the needs of their
employer and loyal to their orders. Kroot will
endeavor to follow the strict guidelines of their
contracts to the letter. However, it is not
uncommon for such agreements to have a clause
that, should their employer leave them alone for a
su cient period as to require fresh prey, that they
may send out hunting parties to nd fresh food
and in the process take side contracts.
This is important, as visitors to the planet do not
always return to collect their escorts,
4
Necromunda being as dangerous as it is. Kroot
contracts are generally voided on the death of
their signatory, and must be renegotiated by any
successor.
As a result, though a rare sight in the vast and
barely habitable wasteland of the Underhive,
Kroot exist in small numbers scattered among the
tunnels, nesting in the hostile hive forests of the
badzones, and even out in the harsh conditions
of the ash wastes. The incredible adaptive
capabilities of the Kroot ensure they quickly
become well suited to their surroundings, feeding
in local fauna in small quantities to gain their
particular traits, though risking diverging into a
new genetic dead end if they cannot control their
hunger and overindulge.
Despite their obvious utility, Kroot are o cially
not allowed to take bounty contracts, and indeed
are supposed to be reported and apprehended
on sight by any Guilder who encounters them. As
such, Kroot are generally only hired by the most
desperate local o cials, paid far under the
normal market rate for venators, and shunned
from most marketplaces.

a weapon, another may not be added.
• If the gang is being founded for Campaign play,
ghters will be limited to equipment listed in
their entry, whereas ghters in a gang founded
for Skirmish play may also have access to
some items of equipment from the Trading Post
and Black Market. This should be agreed upon
by the players.
New Equipment
During a campaign, gangs may gain new
equipment, either by purchasing it from the
Trading Post or Black Market, or as a result of
Boons. These items are added to the gang's
Stash and may be distributed among ghters
during any post-battle sequence:
• Any ghter may discard any Wargear they are
equipped with in favour of new
Wargear. Any Wargear discarded in this way is
placed in the gang's Stash and may be given to
other ghters.
• No ghter may discard a weapon. Underhive
gangers become attached to the tools of their
trade and would rather hoard weapons than
discard them.
• Fighters with the Gang Fighter (X) special rule
that do not also have the Tools of the Trade
special rule cannot be given a new weapon if it
would take them above the limit of three
weapons carried.
• Fighters with the Tools of the Trade special rule
can be given more than three weapons as they
can have multiple Fighter cards, each
representing a di erent
'equipment set', as follows.
FIGHTER CARDS & GANG ROSTER
Finally, a blank Fighter card should be completed
for each ghter when they are added to the gang;
the characteristics of the ghter and any
equipment they now have should be noted down
in the appropriate sections of the Fighter card. A
gang roster sheet is also completed for the gang
as a whole.
cards, each representing a di erent set of
equipment:
• The controlling player can make an additional
Fighter card for a ghter with the Tools of the
Trade special rule at any time.
• An appropriate model should be available for
each di erent equipment set and / or
Fighter card a ghter has.
• There is no additional cost for having multiple
equipment sets; if for example a Kroot Kill-
Broker owns a Kroot Pistol, they may include
6
that weapon in as many or as few di erent
equipment sets as the controlling player wishes
without additional cost. The weapon is only
purchased and paid for once.
• Regardless of the number of equipment sets a
ghter has, they still have a single entry on the
gang roster. This entry should include the total
value of the individual weapons and items of
Wargear that ghter owns. But remember, each
individual weapon or item of Wargear is only
counted once.
• If the ghter su ers any Lasting Injuries or gains
any Advancements, they should be recorded on
all of their Fighter cards.
• Only one of a ghter's cards can be used for a
battle.
• If a battle uses random ghters from the gang,
all of the ghter's cards should be shu ed
together and one should be drawn at random
and added to the rest of the gang's Fighter
cards before any cards are drawn. This means
that only one of this ghter's cards can be
drawn for the battle, and that the controlling
player cannot choose which of their equipment
sets they will be using.
• When distributing equipment from the gang's
Stash, it can be moved to any or all of a
ghter's cards, and can even be moved to more
than one.

Equipment Sets
Senior gang members, enjoying the privilege of
rank, often maintain a cache of weapons that
allows them to equip themselves appropriately
for each battle. As such, ghters with the Tools of

Special Rules:
Gang Leader: A Kroot Farstalker Gang must always include a single ghter with this
special rule: 8
•A ghter with this special rule may not retire during Campaign play. For a gang leader,
the only way out is death.
•Should this ghter die during the course of a campaign, or otherwise be removed from
the gang (for example, if a captured Leader is Sold to the Guilders), another ghter must
be promoted to replace them (see 'Death of a Leader' above).

Gang Hierarchy (Leader): During a battle, once this ghter's gang has failed a Bottle
test, during any End phase in which this ghter passes its Cool check and does not ee
the battle eld, any friendly Kroot Farstalker ghters that are within 12" of this ghter will
automatically pass their Cool check and will not ee the battle eld.

Additionally, during Campaign play, this ghter may perform post-battle actions.

Tools of the Trade: This ghter enjoys access to a wide variety of weapons. A ghter with
this special rule may take multiple equipment sets.

Group Activation (2): When a ghter with this special rule is activated, their controlling
player can choose to activate a number of additional Ready friendly Kroot ghters equal
to the number shown in brackets that are within 3" of this ghter as part of a 'Group
Activation'
The controlling player must nominate all of the ghters who will be activated in this way
before an of them is activated.

•Once all participants of the Group Activation have been nominated, the controlling player
selects one and activates them as normal, fully resolving their activation before selecting
and activating the next. Each ghter activates individually; groups do not activate
simultaneously.
•Additional ghters with this special rule activated in this way may not themselves use
this special rule during this activation.

Mealtime: When this ghter causes another ghter to go out of action in close combat,
whether with a Fight or Coup De Grace action, replace the ghter with a Feeding token (a
25mm base or other marker will su ce). A Kroot model within 1” of a Feeding token may
make the following action:
Feed (Basic): The Kroot gnaws at their fallen foe, remove the feeding token and roll a D6,

retreat from combat or make consolidate actions, they must Coup De Grace if they have
the opportunity and must perform a Feed (Basic) action if within 1” of Feeding token.

Skills: When Recruited, a Kroot Kill-Broker may choose 1 skill from their primary skill sets.

automatically pass their Cool check and will not ee the battle eld.

Additionally, during Campaign play, this ghter may perform post-battle actions.

Tools of the Trade: This ghter enjoys access to a wide variety of weapons. A ghter with
this special rule may take multiple equipment sets

From the Shadows: If this ghter should be set up at the start of a battle, they may instead
be placed to one side. Then, at the start of any round after the rst, immediately before
rolling for Priority, their controlling player may set them up anywhere on the battle eld that is
not visible to any enemy ghters, and not within 6" of any enemy ghters. If both players
have ghter(s) with this special rule that they wish to deploy at the start of the same round,
the winner of a roll-o may decide which player places their ghter(s) rst.

Mealtime: When this ghter causes another ghter to go out of action in close combat,
whether with a Fight or Coup De Grace action, replace the ghter with a Feeding token (a
25mm base or other marker will su ce). A Kroot model within 1” of a Feeding token may
make the following action:
Feed (Basic): The Kroot gnaws at their fallen foe, remove the feeding token and roll a D6, on
a 3+ mark the ghter’s card with a feeding token. These can be exchanged for adaptations.

Ravenous: If a Kroot ghter has not made a Feed action yet this game, they cannot retreat
from combat or make consolidate actions, they must Coup De Grace if they have the
opportunity and must perform a Feed (Basic) action if within 1” of Feeding token.

Skills: When Recruited, a Kroot Tracker may choose 1 skill from their
primary skill sets. This skill does not cost any XP and does not
increase the ghter’s credits value.

 Exotic Beasts
The worlds of the Imperium are host to many strange and wonderful creatures, and Necromunda is no
exception. It is well documented throughout the ages that humans have a strange propensity for keeping
all manner of creatures as pets, fascinated by their behavior and comforted by their loyalty, and in this
the denizens of the underhive are no di erent to humans anywhere else in the galaxy. What is unique to
Necromunda, though, are the type and variety of pets that people choose to keep...

Exotic Beasts are purchased as Wargear and should be recorded on their owner's Fighter card
accordingly. However, where Exotic Beasts di er to normal Wargear is that they will have their own 20
Fighter card, which details their unique stats, skills, and weaponry.

They follow all of the normal rules for a ghter, with the following exceptions:

• Whenever the ghter that owns the Exotic Beast is selected for a scenario, the Exotic Beast may also
be deployed. This may take the number of ghters in a starting crew above the number speci ed by
the scenario.
• Exotic Beasts can only be activated as part of a Group Activation with their owner. Accordingly, the
owner of an Exotic Beast gains the following:

• Group Activation (Exotic Beasts): When a ghter with this special rule is activated, their controlling
player must activate all Exotic Beasts belonging to this ghter as well as part of a 'Group
Activation’ The controlling player selects and activates each ghter in this Group Activation as normal,
fully resolving each activation before selecting and activating the next. Each ghter activates
individually; groups do not activate simultaneously. If this ghter itself is activated as part of a Group
Activation, this rule still applies, meaning any Exotic Beasts this ghter owns are activated as
described above when this ghter is itself activated as part of a Group Activation.

Exotic Beasts must always end their activation within 3" of their owner. If the Exotic Beast is more than
3" away at the end of its activation, it must pass a Nerve test or become Broken.

• Should an Exotic Beast become Broken, it will run towards its owner when activated rather than for
cover. When an Exotic Beast makes a Running for Cover (Double) action, it runs towards its owner. It is
only concerned with getting back within 3" of its owner.
• An Exotic Beast that has become Broken automatically rallies if it ends an activation within 3" of its
owner (note that, during Campaign play, Exotic Beasts do not gain XP for rallying in this way).
• If the owner is removed from the battle eld for any reason, the Exotic Beast is also removed from play.
• If an Exotic Beast is removed from the battle eld for any reason, it is not counted for the purposes of
Bottle tests.
• Exotic Beasts gain Experience and su er Lasting Injuries as a normal Ganger and may become a
Specialist.
• Exotic Beasts may not take any additional equipment. They may not use weapons other than those
detailed on their pro le. They may never use Wargear.
• Exotic Beasts can be taken Captive, in which case the owning ghter's gang can attempt to rescue
them and the capturing gang may sell them as if they were a normal ghter. Exotic Beasts taken
Captive cannot be put to work in any Territories.p

Honed Senses: When the Kroot Hound’s owner is a sentry, they gain +1 to their roll to spot

Loyal Kin: When the Kroot Hound is Standing and Active or Engaged within 3” of their

Bonded for Life: If a Kroot Hound is taken by a Kroot Tracker, extend the range they can
move from their owner to 9”

Mealtime: When this ghter causes another ghter to go out of action in close combat,

 Hangers-on and Brutes
Once a gang establishes itself, its hideout can become as well-known as any other local landmark.
Some gangs' hideouts become centers of activity, with loyal hivers granted the freedom to come and go
as they please, while others are more like fortresses. In either case, they are sought-after destinations for
merchants and tradesmen seeking a reliable base of operations and o ering their services to the gang.

Hangers-on are primarily used in Campaign play, although some will prove particularly useful in Skirmish
play. Brutes are purchased speci cally to add some extra muscle and prowess on the battle eld and can
be elded alongside the rest of the gang normally. In the Update Roster step of the post-battle
sequence, players can recruit Hangers-on and Brutes. These are purchased with credits from the gang's
Stash in the same way as new ghters. A Fighter card is lled out for each and they are added to the
gang roster. Most Hangers-on and Brutes have various options for their equipment - these must be
decided when they are recruited and cannot be changed later.

During Campaign play, both Hangers-on and Brutes can be taken captive in the post-battle sequence,
just like any other ghter. In such cases, the gang can attempt to rescue them or make a trade with the
captor to have them returned. Should they fail to rescue them or secure a trade, the captor may sell
them as if they were a normal ghter.

The maximum number of Hangers-on and Brutes a gang can have is limited by its Reputation, as shown
by the table below. If a gang's Reputation drops to the point that it does not have enough for its
Hangers-on or Brutes, it must remove one or more of them from its roster until it is back within the limit.
Also, note that there is a limit on each type of Hanger-on and Brute - a gang can have up to two Rogue
Docs, but only one Dome Runner, for example. Hangers-on and Brutes do not count towards the
number of ghters in the gang for the purposes of determining how many ghters of other types the
gang may contain.

 Hangers-on
Each of the di erent types of Hanger-on brings a speci c bene t or a special rule to the gang that
employs them. Hangers-on do not normally take part in battles; their role is a non-combat one. However,
should a battle take place on the gang's own turf (i.e., when the gang has the Home Turf Advantage in a
scenario), roll a D6 for each Hanger-on before choosing a crew. On a roll of 1, 2 or 3, the Hanger-on is
unfortunate enough to be around when the ghting starts, and must be included as part of the crew.

Hangers-on cannot gain Experience or Advancements; if they su er a Lasting Injury that would make a
change to their Fighter card, they decide that the hideout is no longer safe and move on - they are
removed from the gang roster. They cannot be given any equipment other than what is listed.

Brutes
Unlike other Hangers-on, Brutes are purchased with the express intention that they be elded in battle
and are treated like any other ghter when selecting a crew. Unlike other Hangers-on, Brutes will gain
Experience and Advancements in the same manner as a Kroot Specialist (see page 42). Unlike Hangers-
on, Brutes will not leave the gang should they suffer a Lasting Injury that makes a change to their Fighter
card.

 Kroot Adaptations
Kroot are best known for their unusual practice of consuming the esh of fallen combatants after and
even during battles. Even the corpses of former allies and even their own kind. For the Kroot this is not
just a practical way of nding calories, their entire culture is built around their unusual ability to absorb
the DNA of their prey and adapt their physiology. Kroot have an almost religious drive to collect as much
genetic material as possible.

Using Adaptations
At hiring, Kroot Leaders and Champions can purchase one Adaptation. During the course of a campaign,
Kroot ghters gain Feeding tokens from performing the Feed (Basic) action, during the Spend XP step, 6
feeding tokens can be exchanged for a roll on one of the adaptation tables below.

• Stat increases from Adaptations are not cumulative

• Where noted, some adaptations cannot be combined, if a ghter rolls an adaptation they cannot take
