A fearsome Kroot leader for your T'au Empire army. Geared to get up close and personal, with a scattergun and a pair of ritualistic blades. Inspires nearby Kroot to greater acts of butchery and feasting.

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.

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.
