Here’s a bit of a blast from the past. I’ve not thought of the Attilan Rough Riders unit for the Imperial Guard in decades, but they’re what’s front and center as GW is looking to bring out a new unit of them for your tabletops. Get a look at the new minis and some of their stats in this preview.
From the article:
Do you like going fast? Do you want to plunge into battle sat astride a powerful steed, armed with nothing more than a lance, a sidearm, and a fur-trimmed hat? Then polish your spurs and book a trip to Attila – the legendary Rough Riders are back in the saddle with some brand new models.
Rough Riders first appeared way back in White Dwarf #111, with the planet Attila – home to the most famous of these far future cavaliers – arriving a few years later in the second edition of Warhammer 40,000. They’ve been on something of a hiatus since 2009,* but the wait is over – they’re raring to go, and ready for horseplay.
It takes a ridiculously brave soldier to ride into the horrors of the 41st Millennium on horseback – not to mention a ridiculously brave horse! Daring Rough Riders specialise in lightning assaults on enemy weak points, and punch far above their weight thanks to the sheer destructive power of their hunting lances.
