Probably? I don't know to be honest with you, that's an open area for the player to consider. Perhaps access to more Tau weaponry? There's not a whole lot of lore behind it so its kinda up to the player. At the very least a rise in rank among the Kroot
Kroot Shapers can use Pulse Rifles.... Soooo yea..... ^^ http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Pulse_Rifle Pulse Rifles can also be used by Kroot Shapers.[4] 4: Games Workshop Official Site
Ah, true. While I think I will be going Tau, was curious. The room for advancement as a Kroot with evolutions is exciting. Even the Kindreds, I've enjoyed. Headhunters, Stalkers.. The Knarloc riding Trackers are cool.
Tau Full Name: Shas'Ui'Fal'Shia'Mal'caor Common Name: Mal Age: 21 Caste: Fire Caste Position: Pathfinder Sept/Homeworld: Fal'Shia Length of Time at Current Rank: 3 years Background/Personality: Mal'caor is a soul of mischief before and after the hunt, a ready smile and a chuckle ready to go. Energetic would be an appropriate description for a warrior of the Fire Caste, until the hunt. His mischief and curious nature is honed down to a single point of focus that guides the Pathfinder in the field, a silent watcher and spotter for the Cadre following in his wake. Named after the spider fittingly enough, Mal'caor is an agile tracker who is able to climb and sneak through the terrain of his homeworld of Fal'Shia and other worlds with relative ease. Equipment: Pulse Carbine and underslung Photon grenade launcher, Pathfinder Armor (Increased grip on boots and gloves, if possible), Bonding Knife. This, unless you foresee Kroot riding to war on Knarlocs in the future. In which case I may need to very, very carefully reconsider.
Pathfinders... in Ghost Suits... under Se'hen... hahahaha... Full Name: Shas'Ui'Fal'shia'Se'hen Common Name: Se'hen (Roughly: 'Lightning Flash') Age: 19 Race: Tau Caste: Fire Position: Pathfinder - Squad Leader Gender: Female Sept: Fal'shia Starting Location: Orbit - Kor'vattra Current Unit: La'rua'Fal'shia'Tak Length of Time at Current Rank: ~3 months - Just completed Trial by Fire Personality: Loud and obnoxious, basically the opposite of what Kauyon teaches. Goes into battle headfirst, common sense trailing far behind. Seems physically incapable of disliking people, though, and is quick to defend others. Very fanatical follower of the Tau'va. Background: Se'hen's personal history is one of near-deaths, stupid heroics and surprising victories. While she isn't well liked among most of her peers, or superiors, her creativity and spontaneity gave her somewhat of a reputation. Her nickname of Se'hen, the Lighting Flash, was earned during a battle that had quickly gone south, with only a last line of Fire Warriors remaining to protect a hundred noncombatant Tau Empire citizens - Se'hen and Monty among those warriors. While the battle raged, Se'hen, who had lost a large part of her squad, grabbed the pulse carbine of a fallen Pathfinder and charged a squad of Imperium gue'la soldiers alone, obtaining heavy injuries but taking out five of them and buying her squad time to fall back and evacuate a nearby civilian building. Of course, for this maneuver, others have taken to call her Ukes, being 'as sharp as a spoon'. Monty and her have continued to serve side-by-side for quite some time, until their mission at Atrilia, which gave Se'hen a quite noticable scar across her temple. Recently, she has been promoted to Shas'ui for charging a tank headfirst and was put in charge of the Pathfinder squad. This has led her away from her comrade and close friend Monty. Gear: Pulse Carbine, Pathfinder Armor, Shas'Ui Helmet, Bonding Knife, 2 Photon Grenades
The planet is a major population center for the Tau, perhaps there are Knarlocs on the planet...of course whether they are friendly or not will depend on things.
Yes still waiting! At the very least for Evicus, and I was hoping for one or two more besides that, but we'll see how that turns out.
