Don’t miss our unboxing and build of the new Warhammer 40k Chaos Space Marines Possessed and Accursed Cultists- check it out!
Rob is back unboxing the newest releases for Chaos that will buff up your forces. He’ll see what it takes to get them ready for the tabletop, show the models’ size, and tell you the GOTCHAS to be aware of when building them!
We will show you everything, including the sprues, bits, and of course, the size. That way, you can decide if these are worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.

These are the boxes we’ll be taking a look at today and run for $50 and $60, which does seem expensive for 5 models, but we’ll have to see.
Chaos Space Marines Possessed Directions & Sprues
They are doing all the splicing again, and how they set this up, you get a decent number of options for the squad. The backpacks look to be interchangeable throughout the squad as well. There are a ton of slices, though, so some of them look like you really can switch parts out.
Some models have much more options than others, so we’ll have to see how much you can really mix the squad up.
Considering they are multi-part, there will be a decent amount of flash to clean up, but nothing unexpected. Overall the bits look very detailed. The heads are also notched, so it looks like you could swap them out.
Built Minis
They are expensive, but the models are just super cool!
Rob isn’t hot on the price, but the posing and models themselves are just awesome.
There are a lot of small parts on these so that it can be a little frustrating, but nothing too hard.
They are pretty big, as you would expect, but don’t tower too high over the Space Marine.
Accursed Cultists Directions & Sprues
There looks to be a decent amount of work for the small models and just a lot of parts for a model on a 25mm base.
The bigger models also have a lot going on, but since they are bigger models, they shouldn’t be too hard. However, they do have a ton of bits, so it could still be a pain.
The sprues themselves are highly detailed, but there will be a little bit of flash and such on these.
Built Minis
Oh man, these are tiny! They do look cool, but the cultists in this box are just so small.
They all just look great, and even though they are so small, they still go together well.
As you can see, compared to Primaris, they just look so small.
These were also smaller than Rob expected but again look amazing!
Even compared to Primaris, they are basically the same size. From the pictures, we just expected something bigger.
Overall, the models are really cool, but the price is pretty high in “real people” dollars.
