So i know that the rule of 3 states that the same data sheet cant be used more than 3 times except for troops choices and dedicated transports.

I was playing around with possible 1k kroot army builds and since the loss of gnarloc riders and the great gnarloc there is a severly limmited choice for them.

But as i can have a shaper, ox, and hound for no force org included with every kroot carnivore squad, like theway dedicated transports are 1 per infantry unit, do those 3 follow the rule of 3? Or do the no force org slots fall under what prerequisit unit is created first, in this case a troops choice of kroot carnivores.

Isn't it the "rule of 2" at 1k points?

They don’t take a slot, but they still have their role.

So an HQ remains an HQ, even if it takes no slot.

They aren't dedicated transports, so no, you do t get more than 2

best you can do for kroot is currently 995 points. 2 shapers, 96 kroot, 3x3 riders, 3x8 hounds.

It really sucks that they dropped gnarloks and greater knarlocks from kroot.

Matched play mission limits are 2 units using the same datasheet at 1000 points, so I think you are actually looking at 2 shapers, 96 Kroot, 2x3 riders and 2x3 hounds.

You might be better off playing Crusade (no rule of 2/3/4 in the missions) if you want to play such a fluffy army list.

Usually the casual leagues will let you run the legends units. The Riders are pretty meh, but the Great Knarlocs are solid. Here's my list:

1 Etheral with 1 Marker Drones: 70pts
2 Shapers: 50pts
60 Carnivores: 360pts
6 Krootox: 150pts
20 Hounds: 120pts
2 Great Knarlocs: 130pts
4 Knarloc Riders: 120pts
