Croak Raiders |
 This model is available in one Prime Army, Blindwater Congregation. It can also be used in the Unlimited game mode. You can view the other Mk3 models that made it into a Legacy Army at this page. Note that the rest of this page is about the model's Mark III rules. |
Coordinated groups of skilled warriors, croak raiders employ a powerful two-pronged attack. Working in pairs, one raider lobs hollowed gourds to soak an enemy with a highly flammable liquid, and then another launches a flaming projectile from an atlatl to ignite the enemy in a pyre of flame. This devastating combination has allowed them to eradicate even more numerous and technologically advanced foes.

Thoughts on Croak Raiders
Croak Raiders in a nutshell
Croak Raiders are a strong unit of ranged skirmishers, able to shoot effectively and to advance deploy and with a decent melee game.
Combos & Synergies
- Road Hog - it loves oiled targets.
- Bloody Barnabas Pop & Drop
- Jaga-Jaga's Signs & Portents amps their accuracy and damage
- Any debuffs like Parasite from Calaban the Grave Walker or Mortality from Maelok the Dreadbound
- No-knockdown-tough or reposition from Skorne's Paingiver Task Master
- Other factions' models with fire-typed guns, such as Northkin Raiders, Cataphract Incindiarii or Ravagore
Drawbacks & Downsides
- They die to blast damage.
- They need to bunch up to do well in melee
- They struggle against armour
Tricks & Tips
- Expect skirmishers, not the Mk2 killers
- Try out the frogs with Dominar Rasheth: Move up the raiders to do their thing, but position one frog next to enemy models. Rasheth then casts Breath of Corruption, targeting the frog in the back (so he hits on 3+ (7+ if the frog got too close and is in melee). The frog cares not as it is immune to Corrosion spells, but the spell is an AOE and will affect close models. The AOE even stays for a round, causing enemy to take additional damage or move away and take a free strikes from the frog.
Other
