This was an attempt to combine the primitive look of a Kroot with the advanced technology of their T'au allies. Body is a kruleboy with a head/hands/feet swap. Weapon is a kroot rifle stock with an incubi klaive, and the Van Saar shield has a stealth suit drone controller added to the front. Bits and bobs were added from Seraphon and corvus cabal kits, and the head is 3D-printed from the PonyQuills head set made by MasterShaperFelix, which allowed the head to sit on the Orruk shoulders without the quills being in the way.

Seriously awesome stuff! This is a brilliant conversion, that kruleboy body fits perfectly. Gotta say my favorite part is the bladed weapon, fits perfectly. Excellent work!

Cool concept) It's a little unclear why there are power cells on the back... Maybe a cable should be passed along the arm to the shield? The ball in the center of the shield sticks out strongly... And in general - it turned out very well, rarely anyone succeeds with Chroot like this!

Looks awesome!

That is a natty conversion, I love everything about it! The Kruleboy body is an excellent stand in. How much taller is he then a regular kroot?

The kruleboyz are about one head taller than the regular Kroot models. I find it acceptable for some counts-as units I'm hoping to represent them as.

Very cool and a great job.

Nice kit-bash and paint, and nice sample of your army!

Yet again, you've knocked that poor Kroot right out of the park, and somehow it all looks like it was always meant to go together that way!

Great idea and execution, reminds me Gungans from Star Wars You could add a power cord made of wire going from the batteries on his back to the shield.

These guys look fantastic - and a great concept!

Thanks for sharing

That’s badass! Great use of the Orruks, really cool conversion!

I tested out some lit powders and am pretty pleased with the glow it produces.
