T'au Empire: Krootox Rider

Krootox Riders serve as sturdy, living gun platforms, hauling heavy armaments that far exceed the carrying capacity of standard infantry. While naturally placid, these massive beasts possess a deep pack-bond with their kin, lashing out with devastating physical strength to protect their Kroot allies. Strapped into stable harnesses, their riders direct them across the battlefield, providing vital mobile fire support to bolster the momentum of aggressive Kroot 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.

The kit provides various cosmetic build options to add visual diversity to your Krootox herds. It includes three distinct head sculpts for both the Krootox and its gunner, along with a selection of optional accessories that can be attached to the rider or the kin-beast to create a unique look for every unit.

This kit comprises 43 plastic components and a Citadel 50mm Round Base.
