Among the Death Korps, few honors are greater than joining the Death Riders. These warriors serve as the regiment’s elite cavalry, charging headlong into the enemy without fear or hesitation.
They are famed for their suicidal determination, using shock and speed to create gaps in the enemy’s defenses for infantry and armor to exploit.
This multipart plastic kit builds five mounted Death Riders, each astride a genetically enhanced Krieg steed equipped with protective barding.
The unit includes extensive build options, from backpacks and tails to a variety of weapons. Riders can be armed with frag lances, power sabres, or lascarbines, and one can be built as a Ridemaster, complete with a unique backpack and command gear.
With 20 optional accessories, the models are highly customizable, allowing collectors to add narrative details such as pouches, packs, and Krieg insignia.
On the tabletop, Death Riders serve as a Fast Attack choice. They are excellent for flanking maneuvers, harassing enemy back lines, and securing distant objectives.
Their explosive lance charges make them especially deadly against weakened infantry, while their resilience allows them to weather counterattacks longer than most cavalry.
The Death Riders are both a collector’s centerpiece and a battlefield menace, combining unique Krieg aesthetics with dynamic cavalry poses.
Whether you’re building a full Death Korps army or adding a thematic unit to your Astra Militarum miniatures collection, these models bring a striking and deadly presence to the tabletop.
