Re: [Tactica: Kroot] I like it. Only thing I can see is you forgot to include tactica on the Krootox and Kroot Hounds.
Oxen:
I think it depends what you are doing with them. I like em because it gives you more than just bolters to shoot with when holding that patch of trees, etc. It does, however take away your ability to infiltrate. This is problematic for getting them into position, but if you can pull off a good positioning from your normal deployment zone, then I think Krootox are powerful merely for the Kroot Gun.
Hounds:
Again, depends. If you DO use them in the open, then Kroot hounds would cover for the Initiative problem. And they're cheaper... The countercharge thing would work better with hounds I'd think. I really don't see anything wrong with using them as a countercharging threat.
Shaper:
He gets the +1 bonus for an extra CCW as well, so at 4 A, you only get two more attacks for his price. And I think its foolish to say 'there only going to lose 2 out of the ten because we have cover saves'. Leadership is important, ask my guardsmen. 7 leadership is not exactly good in any circumstances.
Use what you will, its your tactica. And I definitely learned from all of what you said, I'm just raising questions.
