Amongst the storied regiments of Cadia, the Kasrkin are lauded as the elite of the elite. These special operatives are trusted with more potent weaponry, such as high-powered hot-shot lasguns, and equipped with thicker carapace armour than their peers. The Kasrkin are peerless shots and battle-tested killers – disciplined and professional, they are equal or superior to any unaugmented warrior of the Imperium.
This multipart plastic kit builds a squad of 10 Kasrkin, Cadia's unmatched special forces. These miniatures can be used as Kasrkin operatives in games of Kill Team, or fielded with Astra Militarum armies in games of Warhammer 40,000. These highly-trained soldiers are armed with hot-shot lasguns fuelled by a back-mounted power-pack, and can be equipped with a variety of special weapons – including grenade launchers, hot-shot volley guns, and meltaguns. The kit includes loads of interchangeable heads and accessories to customise your kill team, plus components to build specialists like the camouflaged Sharpshooter, stimm-wielding Combat Medic, explosive Demo-trooper, and more.
This set comprises 166 plastic components, and is supplied with 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. Also included is a Cadian Infantry Transfer Sheet, with 597 transfers featuring numerals, squad markings, and Cadian regimental heraldry. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):
1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.
2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
