Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Bodies for objectives” – cheap, numerous infantry for holding points, screening, and winning fights through model count and board control | Two separate units in one box + command models; flexible loadouts (shields / great weapons / flails) for different battlefield jobs | Easy to medium (straightforward to use, but good positioning and charge timing makes the difference) | Start with 20 models as an “anvil” in the centre. Shields hold, great weapons punish – pick one job and commit to it. |
Warhammer The Old World: Warriors of Chaos – Chaos Marauders
Chaos Marauders are the perfect first “block” for Warriors of Chaos: you’ll build them fast, and on the table they do exactly what you want infantry to do in The Old World – fill space, take objectives, and force your opponent to react. The box gives you two units, so you can run one bigger horde for the centre, or multiple smaller detachments to apply pressure across the line.
What are Chaos Marauders – and why you want them in your army
Marauders are northern mortals – cheaper than elite warriors, but still dangerous when they come in numbers. On the table they give your army width and board control: they occupy space, protect your expensive units as they advance, and at the key moment they can overwhelm an opponent thanks to charge timing and volume of attacks. The box is great for collectors too – you get command models and enough options to build a unit that looks properly “chaotic” in your own style.

Where they fit on the table (and in your list)
Chaos Marauders are a “core” unit that fills your battleline and frees up points for the expensive hitters (Knights, Chosen, monsters). Use them on the table as: (1) a central block for objectives, (2) a screen against shooting and magic, (3) a cheap unit for trades and redirecting charges. For starting out, the simplest approach is one larger block – fewer decisions, more stability.
Main benefits you’ll feel from game one
- Board control: more models = more space, more blocking, and easier objective play.
- Flexible job: shields for durability, great weapons for punch – tailor them to your list and meta.
- Two units in one box: test different unit sizes without buying another set.
Matchups and the “game feel”
- Warriors of Chaos: forward pressure, hard-hitting elites; Marauders hold space and do the “dirty work” for points.
- Common opponents (Empire, Bretonnia, Orcs & Goblins, Dwarfs…): shooting, cavalry, or big blocks – Marauders steal space and force the centre fight.
- What it means: into shooting, play cover and screens; into cavalry, guard your charge angles; into hordes, win through better timing and support (buffs / counter-charge).
Box contents
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Chaos Marauders (2× unit) | Two separate 10-model units – ideal as one bigger block or multiple smaller detachments. |
| Command models | In each unit you can build a Champion, Musician, and Standard Bearer (each once per unit). |
| Weapons & bits | Options for shields / great weapons / flails + extra details for a proper “chaos” look. |

Stress-free “battle ready” painting (PW shortcut)
Quick beginner setup: primer + a few colours for basecoats, shade, and details. No overcomplicating.
Primer (recommended)
Chaos Black (Spray)
Use: Fast black basecoat – forgiving, perfect for grimdark leather/metal/skin.
Base colours (minimum for “battle ready”)
Rhinox Hide
Type: Base
Use: Leather, straps, boots, wood – one colour that ties the whole unit together.
Leadbelcher
Type: Metallic
Use: Weapons, buckles, spikes – the fastest route to “done”.
Agrax Earthshade
Type: Shade
Use: One wash over leather/metal/straps and the model instantly gains depth.
Gorthor Brown
Type: Layer
Use: Quick highlight for leather and straps (drybrush = win).
Stirland Mud
Type: Texture
Use: Bases in 2 minutes – texture + drybrush and the army looks “finished”.
Recommended tools (optional)
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: Plastic welding glue – strong bonds, beginner-friendly.
Citadel Starter Brush
Use: One all-round brush for basecoats + washes + basic details.
On-table tactics (practical, no fluff)
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Unit size | Start as one bigger block (20). It’s more stable, holds objectives better, and forgives movement mistakes. |
| Loadout role | Shields = survive and hold. Great weapons = punish once you’re in. Flails = pressure and trades. Make the unit “about one job”. |
| Charges and angles | Don’t get “ridden down” by cavalry. Keep angles so your opponent can’t easily slam your flank. |
| Army support | Marauders win with support: buffs, counter-charges, or a threat behind them. Alone they’re great for points, not always a “solo carry”. |
Beginner FAQ (quick answers)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it playable on its own? | No – this is a unit for a Warriors of Chaos army. You’ll need Warhammer: The Old World rules and an opponent/army to face. |
| Do I have to build and paint it? | We recommend it. Plastic glue + a few paints is enough. Even a “battle ready” look is great on the table. |
| How many models should I build into one unit? | Easiest start: build 20 as one block. Once you learn your playstyle, split into multiple smaller units. |
| Is it good for a total beginner? | Yes. It’s a core unit that teaches movement, objectives, and charges – without overwhelming extra rules. |
How to keep building your army
| What next? | Why |
|---|---|
| A hard “hammer” (elite unit / cavalry) | Marauders hold and tie things up – you want a unit that decides the fight at the right moment (counter-charge / breakthrough). |
| Hero / support | A leader and support pieces increase reliability – buffs, leadership, and better control of key moments. |
Recommended expansions (PW picks)
| Follow-up | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Fast mobility | Marauder Horsemen / a fast flanking unit – adds pressure and hunts softer targets. |
| Elite удар | Chaos Knights / Chosen-style units – that’s the “hammer” Marauders set up. |
| Flavour & hobby | Banner upgrades, transfers, basing materials – small things that add a big “wow” on the table and in the display case. |
