Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Tip for players |
|---|---|---|---|
| A flexible army element for applying pressure on objectives and supporting the main strategy. | A solid mix of mobility/durability/firepower or melee (depending on build) with room for faction synergies. | Medium – you gain the most through proper positioning and timing. | Plan the first two turns ahead: where you will score and how to prepare safe positions. |
Commander Shadowsun
Commander Shadowsun is a set that expands your army with a strong gameplay element. In practice, it adds pressure on your opponent, helps with objective control, and gives you new tactical options.
What you’ll find in the box
Models are supplied unpainted and require assembly. For best results, we recommend plastic glue and basic mold line cleanup.

Positioning and role on the table
Stay in cover, play the objectives, and plan your movements to maintain pressure without unnecessary losses.
Why you want this in your army
- Immediately strengthens your army in-game
- Great choice to expand after a Starter/Combat Patrol
- The model stands out on the table and is enjoyable to paint
How it performs in match-ups
- T'Au Empire: Fits well into most builds and supports both objective play and applying pressure on the opponent.
- Add-ons: We recommend complementing it with units that cover weaknesses (anti-tank, screening, speed).
- Match-up summary: Performs best when you play objectives and pick your trades. Against hordes, keep your distance and clear units gradually; against elites, focus fire/attacks on key threats. Against vehicles, manage your anti-tank and focus one target at a time.
