The Chaos Marauders return to The Old World with a fresh wave of redesigned miniatures — and the design team explains the ideas behind their savage new look.
TL;DR
New Chaos Marauder models are on the way, featuring updated sculpts, brutal new weapon options, and a more grounded northern-tribal aesthetic.
-
Foot and mounted units both get expanded gear options.
-
The visual style leans into harsh-climate barbarism: furs, hides, crude iron.
-
Designers outline how the new look ties the Marauders deeper into Chaos lore.
The upcoming Chaos Marauder kits showcase a complete visual overhaul for one of the Old World’s most iconic warbands. The design team focused on making them feel like true raiders from the far-north — rugged survivalists wrapped in heavy furs and stitched hides, armed with rough-forged axes, flails, and spears.
The foot troops now feature more variety than older generations: hand weapons and shields for solid frontline fighters, flails for wild shock attacks, and hulking great weapons for players who want that full berserker vibe. Mounted Marauders follow the same brutal logic, equipped for fast raids and crippling charges.
Even at a glance, these are unmistakably northern reavers. Thick belts, scavenged trophies, chainmail patched with leather scraps — the whole kit sells the fantasy of tribes hardened by an unforgiving land. Fans who enjoy cinematic skirmish battles will appreciate how much personality each model carries.
Why It Matters for Skirmish Gamers
For Gangfight players, these kits are a natural fit. The Marauders already function as small, self-contained raiding parties, and the mix of melee weapon options makes it easy to build distinct specialists: a heavy hitter, a flail-swinging brawler, a mobile skirmisher, or a mounted outrider. Their gritty northern-tribal style also works nicely for fantasy frontier campaigns, dark-age settings, or Chaos-themed expansions of homebrew worlds.
