New Desert Raiders Bits are Perfect For Tallarn Alternatives!
As you can see, they have all kinds of bits! Any weapon you could want; they have it for the Desert Raiders. We’ll take a look at some of our favorites, but as we said, they have all kinds of upgrades available.
So let’s start with a look at the actual infantry squad.
Desert Raiders Infantry Squad: $37.36
These models are just so incredible and some of the most excellent alternatives we’ve ever seen for the Desert Raiders! They are also on sale now, but they probably won’t stay at this price for long, so don’t miss out!
Desert Raiders are sturdy, battle-hardened soldiers of the Imperial Guard that serve on a planet completely covered in sand. From the time the lethal forces of Daemons invaded their homeworld, they’re still leading a never-ending war using hit-and-run guerilla tactics.
This set of high-quality resin parts is enough to make a Desert Raiders Infantry Squad consisting of ten miniatures: nine Desert Raiders Guardsmen and one Sergeant. Heads and bodies have unique designs. Various special weapons available for Guardsmen (Flamethrower, Sniper Rifle, Magma Gun, Grenade Launcher, Plasma Gun, Thunder Rifle) and a Sergeant (Chain Sword, Power Sword, Power Fist, Las Pistol, Plasma Pistol, Thunder Pistol).
IMPERIAL GUARD FLAMETHROWERS: $10.84
The usefulness of Imperial Guard Flamethrowers is undeniable. This kind of weaponry is extremely lethal at a short range against infantry units. With the Imperial belief in purifying features of fire, it isn’t a surprise that Guardsmen highly use it.
The product design fits 28 mm scale wargames. This set is supplied unpainted. Cast from the highest quality resin. Our products are intended for experienced modelers and may require trimming, bending, and fitting.
IMPERIAL GUARD PLASMA GUNS: $10.84
Plasma Guns are a rare sight among the ranks of Imperial Guardsmen, even if the forces of the Imperium highly use their technology. Despite the constant need to reload, plasma guns are very effective on any battlefield. This weaponry works best when aimed at heavy infantry or light vehicles.
The product design fits 28 mm scale wargames. This set is supplied unpainted. Cast from the highest quality resin.
IMPERIAL GUARD CHAIN SWORDS: $10.84
A preferable weapon choice for most Imperial Guard Sergeants, Chain Sword is an example of fierce close combat weaponry. Thanks to the use of similar technology, it operates and sounds (more or less) like the ordinary chainsaw – the one difference is the purpose of using these two.
The product design fits 28 mm scale wargames. This set is supplied unpainted. Cast from the highest quality resin.
