Kroot Special Rules

Fieldcraft
Unless otherwise stated in the unit listing, all units in a Kroot Army have the fieldcraft special rule. Fieldcraft grants the unit a +1 to their cover save when they are in woods or jungle terrain. The unit also ignores the effects of difficult terrain in the moving and assault phase if the difficult terrain is caused by wood or jungle terrain, dangerous terrain tests still apply as normal.

Knarloc Mount Special Rules

A model mounted on a Knarloc changes its unit type to Calvary and gains all of that unit types special rules. In addition a model mounted on a Knarloc adds 1 to its Toughness. Models on Knarlocs are still subject to the Fieldcraft special rule unless otherwise stated in their unit listing.

Infiltrate
Unless otherwise stated in the unit listing, all units in a Kroot Army have the Infiltrate universal special rule.

Kroot Army Warlord Traits

An army consisting solely of models from the Kroot Codex can roll for its Warlord trait from the Kroot Warlord Table if the warlord is a Master Shaper.

Bold - Kroot units in the army add 1 to their leadership characteristic. In addition, if a unit fails a morale test after taking 25% casualties to shooting instead of falling back the unit will instead go to ground. 2. Chameleon - Kroot units in the army gain the Stealth universal special rule. This replaces the +1 to cover save granted by fieldcraft. If a unit already has the stealth it

Kroot Hound Special Rules

When taken independently Kroot hounds are considered beasts and are subject to the Animalistic Nature Rule. However, when taken as an upgrade to another unit the Kroot Hounds unit type is the same as the parent unit. Ie if the parent unit is Calvary the Kroot Hounds are also Calvary units.
