Don’t miss the new Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set for Warhammer The Old World complete with 50 fresh minis, and a horde of tribal fury.
Chaos is on the march again, and this time it’s not the shiny, iron-clad types leading the charge. The frozen wastes of Norsca have spat out their toughest, wildest, and fur-wrapped maniacs yet, the Chaos Marauders are here to raid, burn, and probably steal your cows while they’re at it.
The newChaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set brings a mountain of new miniatures, a hefty Arcane Journal, and a strong whiff of “things are about to get messy.”
Let’s break down what’s in the box, why these models rule, and what’s got us side-eyeing Games Workshop’s growing trend of sub-faction creep.
Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set
In the Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set, you get 50 new miniatures, that’s 40 Chaos Marauders and 10 Marauder Horsemen, all redesigned from the ground up. Forget the dated sculpts of yesteryear; these new models look like they stepped right out of a heavy metal album cover.
Like all the new minis in these battalion style boxes, they will be released on their own at some point, but sometimes for the Old World, it can take a couple of months, or a couple of weeks.
The Marauders themselves are dripping with character: fur, leather, and enough chainmail to make a Dwarf jealous. Every model has two head options, interchangeable weapons, and a bunch of shields, trinkets, and charms that show their devotion to the Ruinous Powers.
Whether your tribe worships the Bloodied Hound, Carrion Crow, Slithering Serpent, or Fell Raptor, they’ve all got one thing in common: they’re ready to torch the Westerland and call it a good day’s work.
The New Chaos Marauders Look: Barbaric but Beautiful
Let’s be honest, the new Chaos Marauders sculpts are fantastic. They actually look like people who live in frozen hellscapes, not reject extras from a Conan knockoff. Every detail sells the “tribal chaos warrior” vibe, right down to the animal pelts and crude totems.
And then there’s the cavalry. The Chaos Marauder Horsemen charge in as the first wave of carnage, swinging flails and spears while sneering down from their ill-tempered steeds. Like the foot troops, each rider has two head options and a full command group, so you can easily split them into two units of five.
Two transfer sheets with 246 decals round things out, giving you plenty of runes and tribal symbols to really make these raiders your own. It’s a solid amount of customization.
The Catch for Chaos Marauders Warhammer Old World?
Now here’s the thing, the new Chaos Marauders Warhammer Old World models are stellar, the lore is juicy, and the rules sound fun. But there’s a nagging thought in the back of every veteran player’s mind: are we already splitting Warhammer The Old World’s factions?
Because if so, that might get messy fast.
Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar both learned the hard way that too many sub-factions can make balance a nightmare and fragment player bases. Having “Marauders of Chaos” as their own micro-faction sounds cool, but if we start carving every army into smaller cults and clans, it could complicate things down the road.
That said, this is The Old World, the setting that thrives on flavor and faction personality. As long as Games Workshop doesn’t go overboard, we might just end up with the best of both worlds: deep lore and versatile gameplay.
Chaos Marauders Lore: Frydaal’s Burning Crusade
Backing all this up is a new 48-page Arcane Journal: The Razing of Westerland. It’s packed with background Chaos Marauders warhammer old world lore, new rules, and more reasons to throw your models headfirst into glorious, chaotic battle.
The book looks at the four Cults of Chaos and the primordial spirits they worship, plus new rules like Chaotic Traits, a Lore of the Shadowlands, and Artefacts of the Shadowlands. It even chronicles Frydaal the Chainmaker’s invasion, so you’re not just painting barbarians, you’re fielding characters straight out of Chaos mythology.
Final Thoughts on Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set
The Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set is a fantastic way to inject raw, howling fury into your Warriors of Chaos army, or start a fresh raiding party from scratch. The new models are beautifully sculpted, the customization options are great, and the accompanying Arcane Journal adds plenty of narrative bite.
But as we celebrate this wave of chaos glory, it’s fair to keep one wary eye on the long game. Splitting The Old World’s factions this early could lead to some déjà vu headaches for players who’ve already seen this story play out in other systems.
Still, for now, it’s hard to complain when the models look this good. The tribes of Norsca are back, they’re armed to the teeth, and they’re coming for the civilized lands once more, one burning village at a time.
