Hi all,
I like to know more about the Kromacs. What's their game plan? What models work well with them?
Maybe I can get a link to some batreps?
I like their sculpts and the fact that they both are able to get the work done on their own.
But I have no clue how to start. Any advice is welcome.

I can talk about Kromac1. The common setup is a beast brick with at least one Stalker. You want to include ranged attacks so you can maximize Warpath usage. Ghetorix will win you games with overtake and warpath movement. The weakness here is that every model is critical and you can't affort to trade a lot, or make mistakes.
My favorite setup with him is in Bones, using guardians, wyrds and fulcrum. I still have to try it with wights. You still have the power of warpath but are more resilient to enemies attacks.
Another army I have used him is in Devourers Host with Wrong eye and a stalker. It has been fun.
Now, about the jump assassination. That's never going to happen,specially if you are using Bestial each turn. It's a very static threat that everyone knows, so don't count on it. Use your transformation to reach flags, to get a more resilient form the turn you will take an alpha, or to take out important solos. You can't kill a heavy even using your feat, he is not Kromac2. Use your feat to get extra fury and cast everything you need at that moment while still having something to camp.

I’ve played loads of games with him and just not used the feat, as the threat of it can really manipulate ur opponent’s positioning, but really u never want to have to use it other than as Nahualli said, a defensive move or if u have to get extra inches to a flag/zone.
Although he can be a beast, try to avoid going their due to the restriction on ur fantastic support spells.
Remember, he does NOT crack armour, even in beast mode, that’s what heavies are for.
Keeping his upkeep’s going is his big thing:
Hot switching Wild Aggression to eek out 2 very efficient charges (great on stalkers).
Warpath does wonderful things for Stalkers, it’s not just a threat extender (see the Wilding Way link on their Tactica)
Bestial is simply awesome for shutting down magic esp in ‘those themes’ and vs Cryx (arc nodes). It can make that bit safer to push Kro1 forward to threat bigger next turn.
Rift rarely pays off as a spell, but I’ve of heard some that spam it on his feat turn to plot thru chaff and annoy w rough terrain. Probably better off via Geomancy tho as it’s expensive at Cost 3.
Hope that helps
