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) 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 you will prepare safe positions. |
Tidewall Shieldline
Tidewall Shieldline 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
Models are supplied unpainted and require assembly. For best results, we recommend plastic glue and basic cleanup of mold lines.

Positioning and battlefield role
Stay in cover, play the objectives, and plan your movement to maintain pressure without unnecessary losses.
Why you want this in your army
- Instantly strengthens your army in-game
- Great expansion after a Starter/Combat Patrol
- The model stands out on the table and is fun to paint
How it performs in match-ups
- T'Au Empire: Fits well into most builds and supports both objective play and pressure.
- Add-ons: We recommend adding units that cover weaknesses (anti-tank, screening, mobility).
- Match-up summary: Performs best when playing objectives and choosing favorable trades. Against hordes, keep distance and clear units gradually; against elites, focus fire/attacks on key threats; against vehicles, manage your anti-tank and focus targets one by one.
