There’s a batch of steel miniatures for the Warriors of Chaos coming to Made-To-Order. However what when you don’t wish to wait that lengthy?
Video games Workshop has introduced 4 miniatures coming again for the Warriors of Chaos on the market. There’s two Daemon Princes, a Chaos Sorcerer Lord and a Chaos Spawn coming — all in steel. Nonetheless, Made-to-Order sometimes has fairly a lead time as soon as the order is positioned. So what are your GW choices when you don’t wish to wait that lengthy? Let’s check out some trendy plastic choices vs their steel counterparts.
Chaos Daemon Princes
Let’s begin with the obvious selection. The steel Chaos Daemon Princes. I do know there are some previous hammer vets on the market that love these miniatures. And hey, extra energy to you. However I a lot choose the trendy plastic package over these minis.
We will discuss concerning the variations in these miniatures all day lengthy and loads of that’s going to be private choice. Nonetheless, if my opponent confirmed up with the plastic model, so long as it was on the proper base, I wouldn’t have a difficulty. I’m there to get a recreation in. The plastic choice additionally has a great deal of choices to work with and you’ll customise it as a lot as you need. That additionally contains choices to depart the armor off and make it look extra just like the classics when you select…
And once more, it’s out proper now. No want to attend for the lead time on the Made-to-Order variations.
Chaos Spawn
Very like the Daemon Princes there’s an alternate plastic choice that’s out there proper now for this package. That mentioned, that is one case the place I do truly just like the steel sculpt greater than the plastic choices.
I used to be fascinated about these plastic miniatures and the way they’re designed. They do have the benefit of coming in a field of two and also you’ve received a TON of customization on them as effectively. Nonetheless, I personally don’t actually look after Chaos Spawn. No less than the previous steel one appears scary with these scythe arms. The plastics (which had been reboxed in 2016 however are even older than that) simply don’t encourage worry.
I imply, if I used to be a Chaos Warrior and the specter of getting become a spawn was hanging over my head I’d wish to keep away from that destiny. Principally as a result of they only look terribly goofy. The steel model is nearly a reward vs the plastics…
Sorcerer Lord on Chaos Steed
Okay, this mannequin is a winner and I’m glad it’s again. Full cease. And right here’s the kicker: There isn’t a contemporary plastic model of a Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Chaos Steed. Personally, I by no means understood why GW up to date the Slaves to Darkness military in AoS and by no means bothered to offer us a mounted Chaos Sorcerer. I imply, I sort of understood from a guidelines perspective. However we had the Sorcerer on a Manticore for a bit…
Anyhow, the closest comparability to this MTO model is the one that’s out now for pre-order. It’s additionally for the Previous World. It’s additionally on-line solely presently:

Between the 2 of those choices, I feel I’d a lot moderately have the MTO model. Both that or it’s time to transform a Sorcerer from one of many horses pulling the Chaos Chariot. Which is definitely very doable when you’ve constructed the Gorebeast model. You simply want an acceptable rider and a few moderately primary interest abilities. Simply tossing that on the market…
On the finish of the day, I’m saying I’m 50/50 on the MTO vs the trendy plastics with these choices. Which of them do you favor?
