Really like the new Kroot, but I wonder if they are going to keep the KT Farstalker Kinband as a unit for Kroot, or maybe roll some of those weapon/equipment options into the general Kroot unit? Those guys looked pretty cool, too.

They will keep them as an elite unit where Carnivores are your basic troops.

Well, it looks like at least some of the weapons options from that squad are filtering out. The one Shaper has a bow. I really hope they give out rules for Kroot pistols, as models for them have existed for 20+ years

The shaper has a 'dart-bow and tri-blade.' One advantage (or extreme sillyness) of the 10th datacards is they're self contained and need have no relevance to anything else. But the dart -bow isn't likely to have the S7 anti-vehicle profile of the 'Londaxi tribalest.'

I never really read the rules for that. So, this Kroot is basically cosplaying Rambo from the second movie?

It ate Sly Marbo and now has all his skills.
