Attilan Rough Riders

![]() |
The Attilan Rough Riders are a mounted cavalry Imperial Guard unit originating from the planet of Attila. They are, quite unsurprisingly, Hun warriors, in SPESS. They are fierce warriors, born in the saddle (and more than likely dying in it). While they can be deployed en masse, they are more often than not assigned in small units to other regiments that can make use of their swift flanking abilities. In battle they employ foul tempered horses built like tanks (and sometimes incorporating parts from them) and use explosive-tipped lances to fuck up your shit.
They are the vanilla cavalry (even called Rough Riders) for Imperial Guard forces and are never seen on the tabletop. Their current line are incredibly shitty-looking figures that date from a time when the Imperial Guard range was a lot more diverse, with metal model lines for all the major regiments available. They no longer mesh into the current line very well and they're sold for ridiculous prices. Convert your own from some Warhammer Fantasy stuff, fool.
