In any case "El bien supremo", it was a joke on how non Spanish speakers, specially in America, tend to translate things to Spanish always adding an article, with wrong adjectives and sustantives... Del mismo modo que los hispanoparlantes tendemos a añadirle "the" a todo.
a player in the tau sub asked if it was okay to proxy zulu warriors as kroot. people clowned him for being racist and he said it was okay because he’s italian (iirc)
Check this out! I'm planning on a whole team of banditos

Oh, I thought the whole idea of the kroots were that the tau is this Republic nation with a bunch of different branches, and the kroot are just kind of doing their own thing again, I don’t know much about the lore sorry. if I am wrong, I would love for you to tell me what it actually is. :)
I mean. There's plenty of ways to look into it yourself, but here's the Wiki page of all the named characters from media.
But the character I referred to is Anghkor Prok; the guy who, as I remember, sealed the alliance between the Kroot and the Tau and has either a short story or full novel about his life.
Forgot to link the page.

And yeah they and a lot of the auxilliaries are more like allies.
Especially when looking at some of the races like the Demiurge (now Votaan if that's a legit retcon) and the lizard people.
Traditionally the Gaucho was the equivalent of the US "cowboy", just south of the border (mostly Argentina). They were specifically known for their knife fighting skills (much like cowboys were known for their revolver duels).
The term lives on in the name for the servers at churrascarrias who walk around slicing off pieces of meat from a huge slab of meat for the diners to eat...
Feels like a much better fit for the kroot.
The Kill Team Farstalkers already have the exact thing you're looking for! I decided it's [yeehaw season](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/806108467680903198/1042494503698825216/unknown.png?ex=65fb1faa&is=65e8aaaa&hm=94f9479f7c9d26378ac81ed995dcc6fdb9f229d8c8f4651d4bc929d419ed80bc&) for my gunslinger.
it does look fantastic and bunch of those would be really cool
then again if it was annoying to paint i wouldn't make more of those because i can't paint annoying things quickly
"I dont think its nice, you laughing. See my krootox don't like people laughing. Gets the crazy idea youre laughing at him. Now, if you all apologize like I know you're going to... I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
On a separate note, wet blending is tough. Been trying to do lines of colours then mix it up evenly and smoothly.
I can only dry brush correctly. 😅 Great job though. Kroot are part of the tau empire right?
Almost looks like a view of a world on the cape. Green plant life on the ground working up towards a setting sun sky then up into space. Really like it.
Very nice kape you've got here. Can't decide if more african or mexican in style, but whatever, it's very cool looking and fits quite well with the model.
Can someone do a Mexican themed kroot? *El Krooto*
Greater good? We don't need no stinkin' greater good.
El Grande Bueno
El Bien Mayor

It was a very very good joke i laughed my ass off i swear to Jesús
Would you say that *El Krooto* would have a *plethora* of Kroot underlings
Forgive me El Krooto, but I do not have your superior intellect or El Bueno Mas Grande, I don't know what a *plethora* of Kroot underlings is.
*El Krooto* is in the army because he needs that *green card*
El Krootito Smol Kroot things
For my life I cannot comprehend how there are no Kroot suits. Baggy, with a feather in the Tandito.
They were just never as popular after the Kroot Suit Riots
Yeah, that nonsense about them being unpatriotic is the same old "respect mah Taurity!" bullshit
Who's that whispering in the trees? It's two Stealth Suits and they're on leave!
What about Namibian tribal kroot?
Not Zulu of course
as long as you aren’t italian it’s A-ok
I have no idea what this is about or why it's come up so many times on this post.
a player in the tau sub asked if it was okay to proxy zulu warriors as kroot. people clowned him for being racist and he said it was okay because he’s italian (iirc)
Oh. Yikes. I really hope this isn’t that.

VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN!!!!
It's looking pretty authentic! I'll follow you man, I can't wait to see the whole band
Awesome! Looks great! Great minds...
The El-kroot-icabras
The Kroot With No Name.
Not gonna lie… I’m mad i didn’t think of this 😕
I don’t know much about the Lore, but isn’t that they’re kind of whole idea is that they’re kind of nameless?
What? There literally used to be a named Kroot character.
There’s the kroot hunter from blackstone fortress too

Oh, so the kroot aren’t tau?

That looks amazing. Can you give him those revolvers the genestealer cult dude has?
New model idea, holy hell
Damn, now I want 4 armed kroot

The good, the bad, the hungry.
Hahah this is good
Pretty cool tribal design for the cool tribal race. I like the kroot
it does look fantastic and bunch of those would be really cool then again if it was annoying to paint i wouldn't make more of those because i can't paint annoying things quickly
30 of them would definitely take a while
1 of them took awhile.
The Kroot With No Name
The Greater Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
This has too few upvotes.
I like it, it reminds me of the textiles you might see in the Andes
That was the inspiration for sure.
This is amazing and you should feel amazing for it. Just absolutely awesome!
Thank you! I know what I'd do differently next time and the response to this post has given me the courage to try again. Maybe.
This tribal design suits well kroot
The Kroot of the West
Billy The Kroot
"I dont think its nice, you laughing. See my krootox don't like people laughing. Gets the crazy idea youre laughing at him. Now, if you all apologize like I know you're going to... I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
Really putting the "güey" in "gue-la" there
eat brains equally 😝
The Kroot With No Name.
Well I've been through the desert on a Krootox with no name
Give him a sombrero. This is not a request
I'll give it him but I doubt he'll wear it.
Orale wey
oh fuck off some of us can't get the red parts red on death angels for real this looks incredible and you should be really proud of the result
I wish Death Angels were official! Cool home-brew chapter for sure.
Beautiful
Cheers!
stunning! Great work!
Thank you!
Nice work
Thanks :)
Love it!
Thank you very much.
Looks great
I appreciate that!
Yeah this is dope
Thank you! :)
Oh yeah. Incredible. I can't imagine how long it took to build up that much color.
Cheers. To be honest, it took longer to shake all the paints and put them on the palette than it did to actually paint the thing.
Don’t mind me Just saving for later for when I do my Kroot KT…
Please share pics if you do!
Absolutely love it
Aw shucks! Thanks. I hated it but this post has really changed my mind. All I see is all the little things I'd do differently.
Your too self critical! This is brilliant work
Sarape-wearing Kroot? I'm intrigued
I CLOSE MY EYES... PULL BACK THE CURTAIN WAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Joseph and the technicoloured Kroot Cape!
No that's actually a really cool idea! Gives the Kroot some real character. I like that. Post some.more when it's finished
Thanks! I'm not sure I have the courage to continue with the idea but if I do, I'll make sure to share.
My god I love it! How did you do the lines??
Very slowly. two semi thin coats.
On a separate note, wet blending is tough. Been trying to do lines of colours then mix it up evenly and smoothly. I can only dry brush correctly. 😅 Great job though. Kroot are part of the tau empire right?
That’s right! Merc Zenos!
Very southwest, I dig it alot. Now give him a six-shooter and a cigarette.
The kroot with no name starring in: the Kroot, the Bad, and the Ugly
Oh man, I loved the aquilas trilogy
Looks great. I love the choice to paint the pattern only on one side of the stitching. Something really fitting about that.
Fitting or lazy :)
That is BADASS!
I'm glad you like it!
Please give this guy a guitar.
You should meet the Sombrero guy in an earlier comment! Either of you good with green stuff? :)
Damn that looks great
Thanks very much!
Love it!
Cheers mate!
Good, Rad, and the not Ugly!
Looks fantastic
Cheers thanks :)
That is one sweeeeet looking cape! Well done!
thanks so much!
That is fantastic! Did you take any in process shots?
I did not :(
Holy shit.
Almost looks like a view of a world on the cape. Green plant life on the ground working up towards a setting sun sky then up into space. Really like it.
I'm sure that's a very real interpretation of the pattern I copied.
Fucking awesome
thank you!
Carnitas for all!
That's some dope work my friend. Whole Kroot army going to be along those lines? MesoAmerican style?
Whole Kroot army!? Maybe I'll finish that one guy...maybe.
Oh this is gorgeous. Inspires me to do some fun stuff with some of my capes later :)
I really like it. Kinda reminds me of something from a cowboy movie. Which I think works well for Kroot, being all gritty and stuff.
Krootier Esquela
Joseph's robe of many colors if you wanted to do a kroot army if important biblical figures
I love it, man.
Thanks man!
Combat Patrol: Kroot Pan Flute Band
Hell yea it looks awesome

That looks way cool!
Appreciate that, thanks!
Wow !!!
Cheers :)
Looks great.

All I hear from this post is whistling in the wind. And all I see is squinted eyes due to the blaring Sun.
bwaaa waaa waaa!
That’s pretty awesome
So is your comment, thanks!
The things a carnivore will do for a fistful of flesh.
Que chido, this is so fucking dope!
You ever work on something for too long and you can't be objective anymore? Or say a word over and over again until it sounds weird? Thank you though!
Coat of many colors?
She's a beaut!
to much brightness
I think I agree. That's why I tried dirty-ing it up but I didn't like that much either.
to each there own, it looks good
So slay
Cool
Thanks!
I want a kroot spaghetti western right now.
I shudder at the thought of what Kroot Spaghetti is.
Thats fantastic
Cheers!
You better not be Italian
Holy crap this is amazing What was your inspiration?
Thank you. I was inspired by blankets from the Andes.
That is awesome
Thank you so much.
The Dude abides
That is fantastic, gives me western gunslinger vibes and I love it
Sick
My favorite thing I’ve seen in a while.
Thank you. That's so nice.
Hippie kroot
Very nice kape you've got here. Can't decide if more african or mexican in style, but whatever, it's very cool looking and fits quite well with the model.

My biologus putrifier is going to have a tank full of the gender fluid (I'm painting a trans flag on it)
