Overview

Speed, discipline, and precision come together in the Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum Death Riders.

Each rider can be equipped with a choice of power sabre, frag lance, or lascarbine, enabling varied battlefield roles. The kit includes 20 extra accessories to add insignia, decorations, and character touches that reflect your force’s story. Interchangeable parts—backpacks, barding, and tails—make it easy to craft a squad with unique silhouettes and poses.

In-game versatility and setup

Use Death Riders to strike from the flank, contest distant objectives, or finish off targets softened by heavy artillery. Their speed and mobility complement slower Astra Militarum units, creating opportunities for strategic positioning and rapid pressure across the battlefield.

Painting and assembly tips: clean mold lines, secure joints for dynamic poses, and apply insignia from the transfers sheet to match your army’s heraldry. The kit’s components are designed to be assembled and customised as you build your force.
