thats about as much anti-tank you can get in a kroot merc. list.

I really love Kroot. Thinkin' of doing an army of mercs myself. Except for great modeling oprospects Trackers seem largely a waste, cavalry = heavy weapons seems an ineffective combination. Also why no eviscerators? I think it was a good move putting in 6 carnivore squads, as they are by far the best unit in the game for their points (my opinion though). Have you actually made this army yet?

eviscerators strike last, and with the low stats of kroot they would die before i can use it, and due to not being able to hide in transports or DS i figured melta would be the best anti-tank.
i hate the idea of cav. models having heavy weps, dont even get the +1 attack for the blade on thier wep :(
but 2 more units able to pin seemed useful.

I guess so. Also, the lack of eviscerator keeps point down too. Why don't council have wings for a definite turn i assault? Or hounds to soak up wounds?

hounds are tempting.
wings would make them a big target, i dont want them runing off too far ahead.
