Discover what's inside The Other Side Rail Gunner Character Box, how it plays on the table, and whether this Abyssinian fireteam fits your King's Empire army.
Quick answer
The Other Side Rail Gunner Character Box gives you a single Abyssinian fireteam model that delivers one devastating long-range shot per activation, making it a specialized armor and priority-target killer for King's Empire forces.
What makes the Rail Gunner different
Unlike standard infantry fireteams that rely on volume of fire, the Rail Gunner is a precision piece. Its compressed rail gun technology, powered by a Soulstone-amplified source, lets it threaten heavily armored targets that smaller arms bounce off. The trade-off is that you get one shot per activation, so positioning and target selection matter more than with a unit that can spray shots across a squad.
Where it fits in a King's Empire army
The Rail Gunner belongs to the Abyssinian faction within the King's Empire alliance. If you already run Mechanized Infantry or other Abyssinia units, this fireteam adds a dedicated anti-armor option that your force may lack. However, if your list relies on mobility or close-range brawling, a slow, single-shot model may feel out of place.
Decision rules for the Rail Gunner Character Box
- Buy if you need anti-armor firepower: Your King's Empire force struggles against high-Armor enemies. The Rail Gunner's single shot is designed to crack those targets open.
- Skip if you prefer volume or mobility: If your playstyle relies on multiple activations per turn or fast flanking moves, a one-shot fireteam that must hold position will frustrate you.
- Check your existing Abyssinia collection: The Rail Gunner is an Abyssinia Allegiance model. If you own other Abyssinia fireteams or the faction starter, this box slots in naturally. Without any Abyssinia units, you may need a larger purchase to field it. Consider the Abyssinia Allegiance box as a foundation before adding specialists.
Product facts
- The Other Side: Rail Gunner: Recruited from the sharpest Mechanized Infantry marksmen, the Rail Gunner delivers one extraordinary long-range shot against Armor and priority targets. This means you're buying a specialist that excels at removing key enemy models, not a general-purpose shooter.
