Diy Kitchens Scotland

Make her mildly pregnant, and maybe decorate her in a bit more jewelery bestowed by her mate. That should get the point across, I think.

Well fluff suggest the Kroot evolved from something like a bird so they may lay eggs; but you can also follow the avian ancestor ideal and make her colors duller and more grayed out than the males. The tertiary sexual characteristics of the jewelry is still a good ideal.

Maybe she should have a baby croot in a basket on her back? I'm guessing krootses are nomadic, I have no idea about wanything they do.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Especially you, kakean44!

Scottish kroot with the kitchen sink it is!

Kroot bilogy is suprisingly well described in some old article. Basically, they have no outward signs of sexual dimorphism, at least non humans can see (I think other Kroot can tell their gender by smell).

Other interesting Kroot facts:
* Kroot do not defecate or urinate like most creatures. Instead their waste is expelled by sweating. Kroot sweat is thick and strong-smelling. They may use it to mark territory.
* Kroot have no external genitalia. The male rubs his sperm (which is secreted by sweating like their bodily waste is) on the female to impregnate her.
* Kroot give birth to live young. However, as they lack the orifices found in most creatures the babies are born through the mouth, with the mother quite literally puking them out.
* All vertebrate life on the Kroot homeworld of Pech is Kroot-based, due to Kroot-derived animals having taken over eveyr ecological niche (the exception being the Kroothawk, which seem to be no derived from the Kroot, but their ancestor). This is why they must travel around the galaxy looking for new genetic material, as eating only things native to Pech woud eventually lead to a kind of inbreeding and the Kroot ebcoming locked in an evolutionary dead-end (which is how the various Krootiform beasts such as Krootoxen and Kroot Hounds have been created).
* Kroot are awesome. This has been scientifically proven.

They are also masters of sarcasm.

If it were up to me I'd give the males really bright ostentatious coloration and the female a much more subdued Earth tone, like peafowl.

Well it is canon that kroot sometimes unintentionally take on various attributes that aren't harmful to them but aren't a hindrance either, so they don't bother to try to get rid of said attributes. For example, kroot that eat lots of dark eldar usually start showing a strong sadistic streak. By this logic, their usual lack of sexual dimorphism could be overturned by their consumption of a species that brighter coloration in males than females, a trait they have either come to appreciate or else simply don't care enough about to get rid of.

So for those who may not have been aware, non-Apocalypse 40k finally has giant fighting robots.




Considering that the tau basically live in an anime you'd think they'd have had their own before now, (crisis suits are fine and dandy but they're not exactly in the category of giant fighting robots).

Also the new eldar update puts more emphasis on the fact that the eldar are having to basically resort to necromancy to ensure their race's survival which I've always thought was an angle they had that wasn't given enough attention. For instance, that giant eldar robot is called a Wraithknight, and is piloted by both a living eldar and said eldar's dead twin. There's also close-combat Wraithguard known as Writhblades:

What a lovely shade of red in that last one.

I dunno if it's the weather or the various psychological issues I'm medicated for, but I don't see bright, vivid colors around here that often.

More elves should have faceless cyborg armor and be bound to the souls of their dead.

Agreed.

I've been kind of disappointed with eldar until this recent update since the whole "dying race fighting desperately against inevitable extinction" thing has been their shtick from the get-go and it tends to take a back seat to the "mystical psychic space-elves" bit.

really disappointed tau went with "moar mechas" instead of human auxiliary meat-shield, more kroots and the return of squats.
