Classic Chaos Space Marines - Advance Order

Worshippers of Chaos have spilt the blood of many enemies for their dark patrons for thousands of years. And it appears their sacrifice has resulted in some new miniatures to add to their warbands. Original commentary by Andy is below with my own thoughts...

Last Tuesday the Chaos Gods spewed a host of new Daemon models into the material realm, and today they've deemed us worthy of a second helping. First up are Khorne's elite cavalry, the Bloodcrushers, which are now a multi-part plastic kit. Next, Tzeentch's most powerful sorcerer, Kairos Fateweaver. Finally, the gods have clubbed together to create two new Bitz Packs - one pack of Familiars and another containing some classic Chaos Space Marine miniatures.


This is the first time we've ever had a model for Kairos. In Warhammer he's the most powerful magic user a Daemons of Chaos player can field, and in Warhammer 40,000 he allows all nearby Daemons to re-roll their saves. I'm sure he'll be a regular sight on the battlefield

Also available to advance order from today are the two Bitz Packs listed below. The More Famous Familiars set is full of characterful models you can use to personalise your Chaos units, add to dioramas and use as Familiars. I've also listed the original Familiars pack in case you fancy combining the two. There are about 3 miniatures out of the dozen or so that I can see myself liking. And for 40+ AUD that isn't really worth it on a student budget. For Warhammer 40,000 players Traitors of Chaos set is great for adding Aspiring Champions to your units.

For ten thousand years the Traitor Legions have waged a relentless war against mankind. Sworn to the service of their foul gods and determined to crush the weakling Imperium of the false Emperor, the Chaos Space Marines will not rest until they have overthrown the Emperor and defeated his servants forever. That is from the little description on the product page.


Who doesn't think that Emperor's Children Space Marine looks cool? Not me...
