Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| A flexible army element for applying pressure on objectives and supporting your main strategy. | A solid mix of mobility/durability/firepower or melee (depending on build) and 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 set up safe positions. |
Krootox Rider
Krootox Rider is a set that expands your army with a strong gameplay element. In practice, it adds pressure on your opponent, helps control objectives, and gives you new tactical options.
What’s in the box
The models come unpainted and require assembly. For best results, we recommend plastic glue and basic mold line cleanup.

Positioning and battlefield role
Stay in cover, play for objectives, and plan your movement to maintain pressure without unnecessary losses.
Why you want this in your army
- Immediately strengthens your army in-game
- Great choice for expanding 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 pressure.
- Additions: We recommend adding units that cover weaknesses (anti-tank, screening, speed).
- Match-up summary: Works best when playing objectives and choosing trades wisely. Against hordes, keep distance and clear units gradually; against elites, focus fire/attacks on key threats. Against vehicles, ensure anti-tank and focus one target at a time.

| Objectives | Score consistently – positioning is key. |
| Synergy | Combine with buffs/auras – even small bonuses make a big difference. |
