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.

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.
