At least I can proxy them into the ork codex a little bit, mostly as boyz.

I am not sure what happened to all the 'White Dwarf' codex armies in 5th edition. I assume they have gone poof for now.

White Dwarf armylists are all in that vague limbo of is it valid or isn't it. Different tournaments have different rules. Most friendly games are open to the unique and interesting armies; after you've played every army in the store a couple of times anything different can be a breath of fresh air.

I say yes to Kroot, yes to Feral orks! Until the official GW nerf batter beats us all outside the head.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/347709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/347709.page GMT Kroot mercinaries still legal?
Feral Orks are not valid because they sit on top of the 3rd/4th codex for rules. There are too many differences in force org and units.

Now I could Proxy most of the models into existing rules except for the squiggoth models. Also, there are lots of Burnaz that would have to be remodeled as Nobs in Feral ork land could get burnaz. Pretty much all the boyz would end up as regular boyz instead of brute boyz or madboyz.

BTW, I ran Feral orks in a GT once. I could have swore I have seen Kroot in GT too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/347828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/347828.page GMT Kroot mercinaries still legal?

I am surprised That the Kroot were not featured in the Tau empire more considering the krootox models and the other kroot riders.

Kroot Mercs aren't the only army that can out-flank/deep strike/reserves. My first tourney came against an all Genestealer army that tried to out-flank.

My Eldar can nearly do the same, except come in on a 2+ on turn 2.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348250.page GMT Re:Kroot mercinaries still legal? GW sanctioned tourny. Your local game store may be kind/misguided enough to allow it, and of course you can always use it in a friendly game. That's about it though.

Which is unfortunate, since it's one of my favorite army lists. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348272.page GMT Re:Kroot mercinaries still legal?

Because Dark Eldar are in an actual codex that's supported by GW via a FAQ explaining how they work in 5th edition.

For GTs, Rogue Trader/local tournaments, leagues and campaigns: ask the organizer/store.

For playing with your mates at the FLGS or in your basement: check with your mates.

From a completely abstract perspective, there are a lot of armies running around with 3rd ed. codicies (Necrons, Dark Eldar, Space Wolves, Daemonhunters, IG, Witch Hunters...) and WD lists (Blood Angels). Why shouldn't they be legal as well? Since 5th ed. didn't come with a "Ravening Hordes" style packet of army lists, nor has there been any statement that un-updated codicies are invalid, why would we assume that Kroot are illegal?

However, at the end of the day, I stand by my original statement: who cares if it's legal in Muncie if you play in Kokomo? As long as your group and local scene is okay with it, go for it. And if they don't, look at that: they're orks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348720.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348720.page GMT Re:Kroot mercinaries still legal?

Most RTT's (though the store owners have discretion) follow the GT format. As I've said, you may be able to use kroot mercs at a select few stores in RTT's, but that's as far as your going to get. Since you asked so nicely, I'll quote an exert from the 40k GT rules:

Armies must follow all restrictions on army selection from their own Codex.

Only the main army list be used for the army in question. No appendix lists are permitted.

Special Characters are permitted, subject to the normal restrictions for that character in the Codex.

Only armies from the following Codexes may be taken at the Grand Tournament:

* Codex: Space Marines
* Codex: Space Wolves
* Codex: Black Templars
* Codex: Dark Angels
* Codex: Blood Angels - White Dwarf 329-330
* Codex: Imperial Guard
* Codex: Daemonhunters
* Codex: Witch Hunters
* Codex: Eldar
* Codex: Dark Eldar
* Codex: Orks
* Codex: Necrons
* Codex: Tau Empire
* Codex: Tyranids
* Codex: Chaos Space Marines
* Codex: Chaos Daemons

(http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=true&catId=&categoryId=300005&pIndex=5&aId=3400027&start=6)

As you can see. Only codex armies are allowed. No Chapter Approved, no obscure or outdated WD rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215856/348807.page GMT Kroot mercinaries still legal?
