56-54 T'au Empire: Krootox RiderKrootox Riders are living gun platforms, loaded with armaments that would be far too bulky for light footed Kroot infantry. Though the Krootox are not naturally aggressive, these powerful beasts regard their fellow Kroot as packmates, and will lash out with fearsome strength to defend their kin.

Krootox Riders are living gun platforms, loaded with armaments that would be far too bulky for light-footed Kroot infantry. Though the Krootox are not naturally aggressive, these powerful beasts regard their fellow Kroot as packmates, and will lash out with fearsome strength to defend their kin. Guided by gunners who sway atop their steeds in sturdy harnesses, they lumber into battle to provide mobile fire support for aggressive hunting packs.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Krootox Rider, an elder Kroot kin-beast with a gunner perched atop its broad back. The Krootox carries one of two heavy weapons into battle – either a rapid-fire repeater cannon that can punch through armoured troops or even light vehicles with a barrage of charged rounds, or a tanglecannon that launches explosive bolas to shred entire hordes. When the fighting draws too close, it crushes foes into pulp with its massive, muscular fists.

You'll also find cosmetic build options to help mix up your Krootox herds – including three different heads for both the Krootox and its Kroot gunner, as well as optional accessories to hang from kin-beast or rider.

This kit comprises 43 plastic components and a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
