T'au Empire: Krootox Rider is a powerful mobile weapons platform that combines the strength of an elder Kroot kin-beast with the skill of an experienced Kroot gunner.

Product description
Add heavy mobile firepower to your Kroot hunting packs with a Krootox Rider. This imposing miniature depicts a muscular kin-beast carrying a gunner and a heavy weapon that would be far too large for ordinary Kroot infantry.

The rider sits in a sturdy harness mounted across the broad back of the Krootox, directing its movement while operating the heavy weapon. The combination of powerful alien creature and practical battlefield equipment gives the model a distinctive appearance within a T'au Empire army.

The Krootox can be armed with either a repeater cannon or a tanglecannon. The two weapons create clearly different silhouettes and allow the miniature to be adapted to the visual style of your hunting pack.

Heavy mobile firepower
The repeater cannon is a rapid-firing weapon designed to unleash charged rounds against armoured infantry and light vehicles.

The alternative tanglecannon launches explosive bolas intended to tear through tightly packed enemy formations.

Only one complete heavy weapon can be assembled from the supplied components, but both options are included in the kit.

Powerful Kroot kin-beast
The Krootox is an elder kin-beast with immense arms, a broad body and heavy muscular fists.

Although its primary role is to carry the gunner and weapon, the creature is also capable of defending itself at close range by crushing enemies with overwhelming physical strength.

The model captures the contrast between the steady, powerful movement of the Krootox and the alert, practical posture of the rider above it.

Customisation and visual variety
The kit includes three different head designs for the Krootox and three head designs for the Kroot gunner.

Additional decorative accessories can be attached to the rider or kin-beast, allowing the miniature to be matched with other Kroot units in your collection.

These parts provide visual variety without changing the basic role or identity of the model.

Detailed alien design
The Krootox features muscular anatomy, rough skin, long quills, heavy hands and practical harness equipment.

The gunner adds cloth, leather, scavenged armour, weapons and small hunting accessories to the composition.

These contrasting surfaces provide excellent opportunities for painting skin tones, quills, worn metal, leather straps, fabric and weathered battlefield equipment.

Background
Krootox Riders are living weapons platforms used by Kroot hunting packs to provide mobile heavy fire support.

The kin-beasts are closely related to the Kroot and regard nearby warriors as members of their pack. When threatened, they protect their companions with tremendous physical force.

Experienced gunners guide the Krootox into position and operate the heavy weapons mounted on their backs, supporting more aggressive Kroot warriors as they advance.

This combination of natural strength and practical firepower reflects the adaptable warfare of the Kroot auxiliaries serving alongside the T'au Empire.

• Distinctive Kroot support unit - add a powerful living weapons platform to your hunting pack.
• Two heavy weapon designs - build the model with a repeater cannon or tanglecannon.
• Imposing alien miniature - combines a massive kin-beast with an experienced Kroot gunner.
