via Warhammer.com
SOLAR AUXILIA BASILISK/MEDUSA $70
The Medusa and Basilisk artillery tanks employed by the Solar Auxilia are armoured bombardment platforms, their heavy guns mounted on a hull derived from the Leman Russ. Enclosed against enemy fire and protected from the hazardous atmospheres of toxic or alien worlds, these mobile siege batteries can keep pace with the cohort’s advance, pummelling the foe’s positions even as main line units move to engage any survivors.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Solar Auxilia Basilisk or Medusa, an armoured artillery tank mounted with a powerful siege gun. The Basilisk’s long-barrelled Earthshaker cannon hurls explosive shells across incredible distances, while the Medusa’s mortar fires munitions heavy enough to shatter mighty walls. The tank has a fully detailed interior, and the rear door and roof can be opened to reveal two crew loading its siege gun. Both the gun and rear door feature glueless assembly options, allowing you to adjust their positions mid-game.
The tank’s forward hatch can be assembled with closed doors, or opened for a Solar Auxilia spotter or gunner with a pintle-mounted weapon – a heavy flamer, multi-laser, or heavy stubber. The kit includes components to upgrade your Basilisk or Medusa with a hunter-killer missile and dozer blade, and you’ll also find cosmetic options such as sigils and a choice of gunner heads.
This kit comprises 187 plastic components, as well as a Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 180 waterslide transfers. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
HERMES LIGHT/VELETARIS SENTINEL SQUADRON $70
Hermes Sentinels are employed as scout walkers and mobile fire platforms by the Solar Auxilia. Fast-moving squadrons of Light Sentinels can strike at enemy formations and disengage before significant resistance is brought to bear, while more heavily-armoured Veletaris Sentinels support aggressive frontal assaults by pressuring the target’s vulnerable flanks.
This multipart plastic kit builds two Hermes Light Sentinels or Hermes Veletaris Sentinels – swift combat walkers for the Solar Auxilia. Each Hermes Light Sentinel is ridden by a pilot in void armour, and can be armed with either a multi-laser or a grenade launcher. The Hermes Veletaris Sentinels are piloted by elite Veletaris soldiers in reinforced armour, and feature additional plating on their legs and sides – they can be armed with a heavy flamer or a volkite caliver.
Both styles of pilot have poseable heads, and each Sentinel’s legs can be assembled in different poses to add variety and character to your squadrons. An adventurous hobbyist can even remove the pegs, for full poseability on every leg-joint!
This kit comprises 110 plastic components, 2x Citadel 60mm Round Bases, and a Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 180 high-quality waterslide transfers. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

COMBAT PATROL: T’AU EMPIRE $160
The T’au Empire employs advanced firepower and complex metastrategies in its quest to enlighten the galaxy, each suited to different environments, objectives, and enemies. The Sudden Dawn Cadre specialise in the philosophy known as Mont’ka – the Killing Blow. Skilled Pathfinder scouts mark vital targets, Breachers mobilise with swift grav-transport technology, and Commander Cloudspear uses her powerful Enforcer Battlesuit to lead high-risk, high-reward tactical raids deep into hostile heartlands.
Fight for the Greater Good with Combat Patrol: T’au Empire! This boxed set is loaded with a balanced force of versatile units, offering enough mobility and firepower to sweep the battlefield clear. This box also allows you to save money compared to buying each kit individually, making it an excellent way to start your army or expand an existing collection.

KROOT CARNIVORES $55
Kroot Carnivores are swift and vicious warriors, employed by the T’au Empire as skirmishers and shock troops. These alien mercenaries harness fieldcraft and predatory instinct to close rapidly with their foes, for what they lack in heavy armour, they more than make up for in stealthy skill and close-ranged savagery, hammering out volleys from their Kroot rifles before charging in to tear their victims to gory ribbons.
This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Kroot Carnivores, agile alien mercenaries employed by the T’au Empire. Each of these stealthy hunters is armed with a bladed Kroot rifle, allowing them to harass enemies at range and wreak havoc in melee combat. You can equip one Carnivore with a heavy tanglebomb launcher, and build another as a veteran Long-quill to lead the unit, who can be armed with a double-barrelled Kroot carbine.
This kit offers plenty of cosmetic build options, including interchangeable heads, a variety of shoulder pad designs, and a choice of poses for each Carnivore. You’ll also find loads of accessories – pistols, quill grenades, pouches, ammo, cuts of meat, and even a Kroot Hound pup – to customise your hunting packs and ensure no two Kroot look quite the same.
This kit comprises 106 plastic components and 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOTOX RAMPAGERS $60
Krootox Rampagers are terrifying skirmish cavalry, combining the aggression and agility of juvenile Krootox mounts with the vicious skill and cunning of a Kroot rider. Rampager packs strike fast at their foes from unexpected quarters, launching a heavyweight ambush that breaks their battle lines and leaves them vulnerable to the rest of the hunting pack.
This multipart plastic kit builds three Krootox Rampagers, belligerent Kroot kin-beasts ridden into battle by daring alien warriors. The Kroot riders strike out from atop their steeds with pistols and long-handled blades, as well as quivers full of vicious hunting javelins. The Krootox themselves bound forward on muscular arms, trampling into enemies with prodigious strength and bellowing mass.
You’ll also find several cosmetic build options to help mix up your Rampager packs – including interchangeable heads and different weapon arms for the Kroot warriors, as well as plenty of accessories like grenades, knives, and armour plates to hang from both kin-beasts and riders.
This kit comprises 77 plastic components and Citadel 3x 50mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOTOX RIDER $45
Krootox Riders are living gun platforms, loaded with armaments that would be far too bulky for light-footed Kroot infantry. Though the Krootox are not naturally aggressive, these powerful beasts regard their fellow Kroot as packmates, and will lash out with fearsome strength to defend their kin. Guided by gunners who sway atop their steeds in sturdy harnesses, they lumber into battle to provide mobile fire support for aggressive hunting packs.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Krootox Rider, an elder Kroot kin-beast with a gunner perched atop its broad back. The Krootox carries one of two heavy weapons into battle – either a rapid-fire repeater cannon that can punch through armoured troops or even light vehicles with a barrage of charged rounds, or a tanglecannon that launches explosive bolas to shred entire hordes. When the fighting draws too close, it crushes foes into pulp with its massive, muscular fists.
You’ll also find cosmetic build options to help mix up your Krootox herds – including three different heads for both the Krootox and its Kroot gunner, as well as optional accessories to hang from kin-beast or rider.
This kit comprises 43 plastic components and a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOT WAR SHAPER $35
Kroot War Shapers are experienced battle leaders, responsible for both the composition and disposition of Kroot hunting packs in the field. They are also exemplary warriors in their own right, striding into battle armed with traditional weaponry that is no less deadly for its symbolic, antiquated natures. Under a War Shaper’s merciless gaze, prey quail while the kindred find renewed strength.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Kroot War Shaper, a skilled commander for the Kroot forces employed by the T’au Empire. This cloaked strategist carries a Shaper’s blade and Kroot pistol at their belt, alongside a choice of paired traditional weaponry – either a double-ended bladestave and ensnaring preyhook, or a powerful dart-bow and vicious thrown tri-blade.
You’ll also find cosmetic build options to personalise your War Shaper – two different heads, two designs of shoulder armour, and a spare pistol or quiver of arrows. As well as a perfect leader for any contingent of Kroot mercenaries, the War Shaper is an absolutely wonderful miniature for painters, loaded with different textures to showcase your skills.
This kit comprises 20 plastic components and a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOT FLESH SHAPER $35
Kroot Flesh Shapers are masters of their kindred’s genetic development, guiding hunting packs to the finest specimens in order to devour and claim their strength for the Kroot. These revered gene-shamans employ gruesome talismans and ritualised butchery to take the art of consumption to sacred and visceral extremes, with immediate and striking psychosomatic effects on their fellow Kroot.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Kroot Flesh Shaper, a fearsome leader for the Kroot forces employed by the T’au Empire. The Flesh Shaper brandishes a pair of ritualistic butcher’s blades for carving up carefully-chosen prey, and keeps a Kroot scattergun slung over their back in a holster. They are draped in the grisly charms of their art, ranging from strung bones and spare blades to meat hooks and a Kroot skull.
This kit comprises 8 plastic components and a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOT TRAIL SHAPER $35
Kroot Trail Shapers are more than simply masters of fieldcraft – through sheer skill, they shape the very battlefield upon which the Kroot will meet their prey, defining the guiding routes along which the hunt will progress and the nature of the engagements in which their kindreds will fight. A single Trail Shaper can alter the entire character of a war in the favour of the T’au Empire.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Kroot Trail Shaper, an experienced scouting leader for the Kroot forces employed by the T’au Empire. Draped in a hunter’s shawl and hood, with their finely-made Kroot rifle ready to reload and a vicious Shaper’s blade hooked at their belt, the Trail Shaper marks out fresh routes and targets for the kindred to pursue. Through their wisdom, Kroot warriors can engage enemies from advantageous vectors and shift the course of battle.
This kit comprises 11 plastic components and a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOT HOUNDS $40
Kroot Hounds are predatory kin-beasts, kept as hunting animals by Kroot kindreds. Once set loose in packs, they lope swiftly across the battlefield in search of prey. Kroot Hounds are driven into a feeding frenzy by the scent of blood, and pounce upon their victims with frightening swiftness, ripping and tearing with beak-like maws and vicious talons.
This multipart plastic kit builds five Kroot Hounds, swift hunting beasts for the Kroot of the T’au Empire. These ravenous creatures prowl or bound forward in a variety of poses, ready to snap at the enemy’s flanks or savage a vulnerable foe. The Kroot regard their Hounds as partners, and adorn them with bracelets, quill-beads, and vambraces, offering plenty of details and textures to break up their tough hides and spiked quills.
This kit comprises 21 plastic components and 5x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
KROOT LONE-SPEAR $45
Kroot Lone-spears are grizzled mercenaries who range far ahead of their kindreds, or solitary wanderers who prefer the wilds and the company of beasts to their fellow Kroot. Mounted upon colour-shifting Kalamandras, they make for effective long-range scouts – and when armed with suitably potent weapons, Lone-spears excel in picking off valuable enemy targets or even eliminating armoured vehicles.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Kroot Lone-spear, a cunning outrider for the Kroot of the T’au Empire. The Lone-spear is mounted atop a tamed Kalamandra, an agile amphibious creature with a vicious bite and the ability to hide in plain sight. They carry a choice of deadly hunting weapons – either a massive Kroot long gun for sniping prey at a distance, or an explosive blast javelin and a quiver of razor-tipped hunting javelins for taking out high-value victims up-close. You’ll also find several cosmetic build options – a choice of heads for the Lone-spear, plus heads and poses for their Kalamandra – to further personalise this wandering hunter.
This kit comprises 35 plastic components and a Citadel 90mm x 52mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
