More angles of the flying Kroot conversion.
To point the weapon both legs were cut at the knees, hips and ankles (to remove the feet). One leg was then posed and glued to the weapon, staying mindful of the length of the other leg. Once both were glued in place I used putty to fill any remaining gaps and blend it all together.
The body could rotate about the hips, so getting it pointing the right way was easy.
Some more photos of my first Kroot.
As with all the first of a unit type in my army/collection I keep to the stock model and a "usual" colour scheme.

Flying Kroot.
One thing I learnt about Kroot was that they take on features of the creatures they eat.
What happens if you feed them birds?
And further to that, my answer to how would a kroot with wings handle a gun...
Sculpted wings, re-posed legs, cut off feet, glue to the hands on the gun, hide the flight stand in a plant...
This Krootox would like skritches. He’s a best Kroot boy.

Listening to Alamaailman Vasarat and building some #kroot
Chill evening.
Kroot carnivore #1.
The first kroot warrior I built for my army/collection.
Built with no modifications, but I did paint up his little snack with an alien skin tone to add a little colour.
I painted this month's miniature of the month and tried letting him wade through some bloody water.
A friend said he looks like he just ate a lot of Drukhari and I have to agree. That's a very Dark Eldar colour scheme!

Final set of photos of the flying kroot conversion.
While the outer feathers are painted with reference to your average bird, I painted the inside of the wings a bright yellow so they could use it to dazzle the enemy or maybe even a mate.
And yes, I bought the new #Kroot army box. Because I clearly need yet another painting project.
Well well well. #Kroot #Warhammer40k #TauEmpire

More photos of the flying Kroot.
Each layer of feathers were sculpted separately, starting at the lower edge and then overlapping the next.
New #Warhammer models revealed at #LVO24. My highlights: a #Kroot good boi, new #Harlequins, and the Solar Auxilia. The Mandrakes are also nice, I guess:
The #RumourEngine for 26th September 2023.
If that isn't a big Kroot gun, mounted on the back of a bigger Kroot beasty, you can call me names for 3 days.
