New chaos characters are coming because of the Battleforces. We acquired our palms on them so let’s take a look at the Slaughterbound and Lord of Poxes!
Video games Workshop has a pair of recent characters coming to the the Chaos aspect of the home. The Loss of life Guard have a brand new Lord of Poxes and the World Eaters have the Slaughterbound.
For now, these characters are solely accessible within the new Battleforce packing containers that are up for pre-order this weekend. Good luck getting your palms on these. Anyhow, we acquired despatched some evaluation copies and these new characters are fairly near what we’ve been anticipating.
Loss of life Guard – Lord of Poxes
Miniature-wise, we’ve been seeing this character teased by GW a bit already. However getting a more in-depth look, it’s eye catching. I can’t assist however have a look at this miniature and paint a narrative in my head about him. It’s nearly like he’s wandering by way of the wasteland with that large pack on his again, alongside together with his trusty sword, able to proper wrongs and meter out justice…
Oh wait, that’s another person’s story. The Lord of Poxes might be the rationale there’s a wasteland as his pack is spewing forth plague-gas. And that large sword isn’t for justice dishing out — it’s for slicing his enemies in half! I wouldn’t take into account this miniature a noble son of the wasteland. Extra just like the vector for the strolling plague of demise and illness that he’s!
In case you’d like a have a look at his guidelines, we coated that already as nicely. I feel he’s going to be incredible addition to the Loss of life Guard military as his interplay with the core military rule has nice synergy.
World Eaters – Slaughterbound
Okay, full disclosure: I’m a fan of the World Eaters however I’ve by no means been an enormous fan of “Possessed” models. Whereas I recognize the lore of the Eightbound/Exalted Eightbound/Slaughterbound I simply don’t like these hybrid daemon-marines. It could be heresy to say however favor my Chaos House Marines of their ornate energy armor with loads of spikes and approach much less daemonic tendrils round.
That mentioned, I can recognize what GW was going for with the Slaughterbound. He’s actually taking the Eightbound idea and going as much as 11 with it. In case you DO like your hybrid daemon-marines, particularly from the World Eaters, then he’s a pure match for the military. It’s straightforward to see this character main the cost with a bunch of Eightbound following in his wake.
I additionally like among the callbacks to the World Eater’s historical past with this miniature. The Butcher’s Nails are fairly apparent. It’s additionally clear that there’s greater than somewhat Bloodthirster popping out of this champion. If that’s your cup of tea then get able to take pleasure in it when the World Eaters come to play.
Once more, each of those miniatures are first included of their respective Battleforce packing containers. The Gorestorm Slaughterpack and the Poxwrought Vector. Sadly, on the time of penning this, I’m unsure if they’re in inventory and even accessible on the US web site but. So good luck! It’s price noting that these characters could have a solo launch at a later date although.
These Possessed Chaos Marines give me the willies.
