Chaos Marauders Get a Brutal New Redesign

Chaos Marauders Get a Brutal New Redesign

Nov 21, 2025 | Chronicle, New Mini News

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.

Maggotkin of Nurgle Preview Reveals New Rot-Infested Miniatures for Age of Sigmar

Nov 14, 2025 | Chronicle, New Mini News

A new preview from Games Workshop showcases the latest horrors of the Maggotkin of Nurgle, featuring new daemonic champions and grotesque warriors steeped in pestilence. Fans of the Grandfather’s garden will find plenty to fester over as these corrupted figures take center stage in the Mortal Realms.

TL;DR

Games Workshop revealed new Maggotkin of Nurgle miniatures for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, expanding the army’s bloated ranks with twisted, disease-ridden champions.

  • New daemonic and mortal models feature warped organic detail

  • Sculpted with Nurgle’s signature mix of rot, humor, and horror

  • Ideal for collectors, painters, or custom skirmish warbands

Spreading Decay Across the Realms

This new reveal focuses on Nurgle’s relentless gifts—bubbling flesh, ruptured armor, and oozing resilience. Each sculpt captures the disgusting vitality of Nurgle’s followers, from their rusted weapons to the writhing parasites crawling over their skin. These aren’t clean warriors—they’re walking contagions that revel in decay.

Painters will appreciate the chance to experiment with slime effects, cracked skin, and diseased color palettes. The mix of organic and armored textures makes these miniatures perfect for anyone looking to show off their brushwork—or their stomach for the grotesque.

Corruption for Your Skirmish Table

Beyond Age of Sigmar, these Maggotkin models fit naturally into small-scale games. In Gangfight, they’d make excellent stand-ins for mutants or corrupted crusaders—plague-ridden enforcers who spread the rot wherever they go. Their gritty, diseased aesthetic pairs perfectly with narrative campaigns or horror-themed settings, or the demon legions of Chronicle.

Expect these new Maggotkin to arrive soon in full, bringing another wave of beautifully disgusting detail to the Mortal Realms—and plenty of inspiration for your next skirmish warband.

Both sets are expected to ship soon and are available directly from Steamforged’s online store.

A Worthy Addition to Any Collection

With Forest of the Damned and Glade of the Evil Oak, Steamforged continues to blur the line between RPGs and miniature wargaming.

Relicblade Unleashes New Hard Plastic Battle Pigs Miniatures

Relicblade Unleashes New Hard Plastic Battle Pigs Miniatures

Nov 1, 2025 | Chronicle, New Mini News

Relicblade has announced an impressive new addition to their fantasy skirmish range — the Hard Plastic Battle Pigs, a fresh multi-pose kit that brings durable plastic to their previously metal model line.

TL;DR

The new Relicblade Battle Pigs kit is the game’s first release in hard plastic, offering hobbyists:

  • High-quality multi-pose pig warriors with customizable parts
  • Easier conversions and lighter models for gameplay
  • A big step forward for indie miniature production

Pig Power on the Tabletop

With the new hard plastic Battle Pigs, Relicblade is shifting the game’s production toward a more modern standard — offering the same gritty detail of his sculpts, but in a format that’s easier to assemble and modify.

Each Battle Pig sports the trademark mix of humor and brutality that defines Relicblade’s world: muscle-bound boar warriors in patchwork armor, brandishing cleavers and axes. The hard plastic format allows for dynamic posing, weapon swaps, and potential cross-kit customization with other miniatures — making them appealing even beyond the Relicblade system.

Skirmish-Ready for Any Game

For players using the Gangfight Skirmish Game System, these Battle Pigs can easily form the core of a savage warband in Chronicle, our fantasy setting. Their bulky frames make perfect stand-ins for Heavy or Leader characters — brutal melee specialists or mutant enforcers from the darker corners of the world.

The move to plastic could also open doors for broader distribution and accessibility, signaling a new era for indie wargames where small creators can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with major brands.

No firm release date has been confirmed yet, but fans can follow the official Relicblade site for updates and preorder announcements.
