SHOWCASE·WHITE DWARF 395

New Releases: Warriors of Chaos

November 2012·pp. 4–25

THE SHORT VERSION

The release showcase examines the Warriors of Chaos through highly detailed new centrepieces and remastered classics. A sacrificial Warshrine carried by mutated bearers contrasts with the armoured mass of Skullcrushers and the unsettling anatomy of Slaaneshi Hellstriders. Scyla, Valkia and Festus each embody a different form of divine corruption, while returning lords, Chosen and Be’lakor illustrate the established range. The 2013 filmmaker White Dwarf provides a humorous counterpoint, with his steam-powered camera and elaborate director’s accessories.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham recalls a metal Chaos Warrior named Daethskar as the miniature that first drew him into the hobby. The new Warriors of Chaos releases renew that early fascination, particularly the Warshrine, Skullcrushers, Hellstriders and character models. He introduces the battle report as a test of what these additions can do against his own Ogres, connecting a personal collecting history with the issue’s central release.

Imperial Defence Network: The Wall of Martyrs

The Wall of Martyrs is presented as a modular Imperial defensive position whose ornate trenches are piled with fallen Guardsmen and abandoned equipment. Its bunker has a removable roof, while emplacements can operate alone or link defence lines into varied layouts. The review stresses practical model placement as well as appearance: paths, firing slits and pits are sized to hold squads and heavy-weapon teams, making the scenery useful across an actual battlefield.

Forge World Latest

The Forge World selection moves from compact, muscular Magma Dragons to a gaunt Incarnate Elemental of Fire, examining how sculpted anatomy and flame convey different kinds of power. New Marine jetbikes provide an Art Deco-inspired Heresy silhouette with several heavy-weapon options, while redesigned Bull Centaurs bring a much larger, heavily armoured presence to the Chaos Dwarfs. The descriptions focus on the miniatures’ character and modelling appeal rather than supplying new rules.
