Kroot: Eaters of the dead - Necrons
I am not sure if this has been discussed before, but how can the Kroot's Eaters of the Dead rule apply to Necrons. It says that the Kroot are carnivorous and will eat the flesh of the fallen, this makes them have to pass a leadership test if they want to pursue or make a sweeping advance on a foe. The Necrons are "metallic", I don't see how it is possible that the Kroot would find them "tasty"? Shouldn't this rule be changed a little bit?

Re: Kroot: Eaters of the dead - Necrons
I can't find any reference to that rule in the kroot unit description, special rules are fieldcraft and infiltrate, nothing about eating...

Re: Kroot: Eaters of the dead - Necrons
I do belive eaters of the dead was taken out in the new codex for the kroot. Don't have the codex yet so take it with a pinch of salt.

Eaters if the dead has been removed.

Re: Kroot: Eaters of the dead - Necrons
Yeah. A kroot eating a necron caused a very strnage evolutionary trait. One that the Games Designers couldn't justify.
It resulted in the creation of Kroot-ons.

Re: Kroot: Eaters of the dead - Necrons
Okay, seeing as how I don't have the new Codex (slow store), I can see why I missed that. Thanks for the input, I hope to get that codex soon ;D. I guess eating metal only applies to the guy from Guinness who ground up buses and cars and put them in his food every day..........okay a little off topic there. I think he died after eating halfway through a bus.

Re: Kroot: Eaters of the dead - Necrons
It's a shame that they took it out. It was a fluffy rule, and the change really has almost no effect.
In any case, I would say that they still would have had to check against necrons. The reason? Checking to see if there WAS anything to eat. Maybe they're just tiny creatures inside thick armor. The kroot might spend some time taking it apart and trying to find meaty morsels inside. Quote:
