Tau Empire: Krootox Rider

Krootox riders are living weapon platforms, laden with weapons far too heavy for the nimble Kroot infantry. Although Krootox are not aggressive by nature, these mighty beasts see other Kroot as packmates and strike with terrifying force to protect their clan. Guided by archers mounted on their steeds in sturdy armor, they stomp into battle, providing mobile fire support to the aggressive hunting packs.

From this multi-part plastic kit you can build a Krootox Rider, an older Kroot clan beast with a gunner mounted on its broad back. The Krootox carries one of two heavy weapons into battle – either a rapid-fire repeating cannon whose projectiles pierce armored troops or even light vehicles, or a bola cannon that hurls explosive bolas, tearing entire hordes to shreds. When the fighting gets personal, it crushes its foes to pulp with its massive, muscular fists.

Here you will also find cosmetic options to make your Krootox herds more diverse - including three different heads for Krootox and Kroot archers, as well as optical accessories to decorate your clan beast or rider.

This kit consists of 43 plastic parts and a Citadel 50mm round base. This miniature is unpainted and requires assembly; we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
