New to tau and was just wondering what people think of Kroot snipers - are they worth it?
If so, anyone got any ideas for a 1500p or 1750p list based on them? Thanks

I Don't play Tau but several in my group do and I've never seen them take Kroot without sniper rifles

How many do they take? I have no idea how to take them

That depends
if you wanted to spam them 80 with sniper rounds and 2 groups of 20 with one kroot hound each to outflank is 810 points, infiltrating all of them on the board will ensure you can shoot the enemy and the 2 outflankers will be a pain for the enemy to deal with.
you'd just need anti tank and your goodish to go
just don't expect them to live

At 1 extra point why not.

the chance to rend precision shot and wound high T is worth all of that 1 point.
