TEXT: Anghkor Prok - The Great Uniter
  Anghkor Prok - The Great Uniter
  A
  nghkor Prok was a Kroot chief and holy man under whom the Kroot
  kindreds of Pech united in their struggle against the Orks. After
  refusing to give way to a larger Kroot at a feast table, he was given the
  name Anghkor Prok, a term used to describe a bull Krootox sitting
  intractably on its haunches. It was a name he would live up to
  throughout his life. Celebrated for his ferocity in battle, Anghkor Prok
  came to be recognised among his kindred as a visionary leader
  committed to preserving traditions and values of the Kroot’s way of life.
  Even as a youth, Anghkor Prok was a warrior of repute, and when the
  Orks invaded Pech, the Kroot home world, the kindreds were almost
  wiped out by the warlike Greenskins. More and more kindred were
  destroyed by the Orks in brutal raids on their homelands, until less than
  50,000 Kroot were left alive on Pech. In one such attack, the supreme
  Ork Warlord, Dregruk Grimtooth, encircled the winter camp of Anghkor
  Prok’s kindred. At dawn, the Orks attacked the encampment and within
  minutes hundreds of Kroot were dead, many of them cut down by Ork
  choppas as they crossed a frozen river. Anghkor Prok would only speak
  of this massacre in his later years, where he talked of mothers chopped
  down with their infants, warriors and young killed as they fled with their
  families. Barely a handful of Kroot escaped the killing and, as they left
  their dead behind in the snow, Anghkor Prok vowed he would have his
  revenge.
  Thus the stage was set for a bitter war between Anghkor Prok and
  Dregruk’s Orks. He orchestrated the most successful guerrilla war
  against the Orks ever fought by a Kroot leader, engaging in deadly 
  hit-and-run attacks throughout the rest of the winter. So successful was
  he that the Orks were forced to construct forts throughout the heart of
  Kroot territory, stretching from the Kamyon Mountains in the east to the
  highland forests in the west, Anghkor Prok’s courage was legendary
  and his reputation soon spread to the other kindreds. Widely respected
  for his bravery and insight, he was declared Chief of the Kroot kindreds;
  the last, best hope for the race.
  As three columns of Ork warriors moved to surround Anghkor Prok, he
  summoned the allied kindreds to his camp on Kaikown Mountain. There
  he led them in ritual feasting, offering prayers to the Great Ancestor
  Spirits, and slashing his arms a hundred times as a sign of sacrifice.
  During this ceremony, he was granted a vision in which he saw Orks
  falling into his camp like Kroothawk falling from the sky. Inspired by this
  vision, Anghkor Prok set out for battle with 5,000 warriors, surprising
  Dregruk’s troops and forcing them to retreat at the Battle of the Ice
  Fields. To celebrate this victory, the Kroot moved their camp to the
  Valley of the River, where they were joined by 9,000 more Kroot who
  had left their lands to follow Anghkor Prok. Here, they were attacked by
  Orks under the impetuous Warboss Rotfang, whose badly outnumbered
  Stormboyz first rushed the encampment, as if in fulfilment of Anghkor
  Prok’s vision, then made a stand on a nearby ridge, where they were
  utterly destroyed.
  Following the victory, some Kroot Kindreds took refuge back at Kaikown
  Mountain, but Anghkor Prok remained to battle Dregruk. The Warlord’s
  outrage at this defeat brought thousands more Orks to the area, and
  over the next year they relentlessly pursued the Kroot throughout the
  highland forests. But Anghkor Prok remained defiantly elusive.
  Many years of fruitless war followed, with neither side able to gain a
  clear advantage until news reached Anghkor Prok of the return of the
  exiles, those Kroot who had left Pech many years before on their war
  spheres to ply their trade as mercenaries. Anghkor Prok was elated,
  believing that this event promised to rid Pech of Orks and restore the
  Kroot way of life. Sending word to the newly arrived Kroot, he marched
  at the head of ten thousand warriors to the Plain of Bones where
  Dregruk had his camp.
  Dregruk’s army had also suffered in the intervening years. Cut off from
  reinforcements, his army had dwindled to a fraction of its former size.
  The Kroot’s consumption of dead Orks prevented their numbers from
  being replenished by natural means, and the lack of raw materials on
  Pech had limited the war machines he could construct. The Kroot fell
  upon his army from two directions and the battle was fierce, lasting
  nearly a full day. Neither side was willing to give or ask for quarter, but
  in the end, the Orks were defeated and their flesh consumed in a feast
  of celebration. 
  Anghkor Prok led his kindred for a further ninety years, winning many
  battles and, famously, swearing allegiance to the Tau empire at the
  sacred Oathstone before falling in battle against Ork pirates. His body
  was buried on the slopes of Mount Kaikown, where a carved Jagga tree
  marks his grave. Anghkor Prok is still venerated among the Kroot, not
  only as an inspirational leader and fearless warrior, but also as a Kroot
  whose faith in their way of life gave him prophetic insight and lent
  special power to his spirit.

  Special Character: A Tau army may include Anghkor Prok as a special
  character. If you decide to take him then he counts as one of the HQ
  choices for the army. If used, the army must include at least one Kroot
  Carnivore Squad. He must be used exactly as described below and may not
  be given extra equipment from the Tau Armoury.
  Equipment: Anghkor Prok has a Kroot rifle.
  SPECIAL RULES
  Independent Character: Anghkor Prok is an independent character and
  follows all the Independent Character special rules as detailed in the
  Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. In addition, if he joins a Kroot unit they will
  use his Leadership (rather than their points value) for all Morale and
  Leadership tests. 
  Friend of the Tau: Anghkor Prok was instrumental in forging the agreement
  between the Tau and the Kroot. Because of this he is accorded great
  respect by the Tau. Anghkor Prok may therefore join and lead Tau units –
  the only one of his kind to be extended this honour.
  Inspirational Presence: Anghkor Prok has the ability to motivate his
  kindred like no other Shaper. Any Kroot unit in close combat that has at
  least one model within 6" of Anghkor Prok may re-roll failed to hit rolls in
  close combat once.
