Just this morning I was lamenting the fact that the Darkoath Marauders of Warhammer Age Of Sigmar were still the old plastic miniatures from Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Well, Games Workshop's ears must have been burning as they now have an awesome set of revamped miniatures for you to start your Darkoath army.

Leading the way is the Darkoath Chieftain. At the head of your tribe, they are those touched by the gods and whilst not fully giving themselves over to the powers of Chaos, they can accomplish some mighty deeds thanks to watchful eyes from afar.

This miniature (above) comes with three heads plus two options for the steed. You can also choose between a sword or an axe. Wear a mask or let your enemies see their doom approaching!

A Monstrous "Gift"

When a Darkoath Chieftain or champion gives themselves over to the powers of Chaos, that's when you get a Wilderfiend. Even in this monstrous form, they are still watchful guardians of their former mortal companions and will slay anyone who dares to enter their territory.

An awesome beast with lots of different accessories for you to focus on as you're painting. Additionally, there are a couple of head options for you to choose from. I quite like the closed maw myself as it looks a little more menacing in my opinion. You can check out some of the other options on the Warhammer Community post.

New Marauders!

As well as the new characters, there are some newly updated core miniatures for your Darkoath Tribe. Leading the way are the Marauders who have been given a nice upgrade, bringing them in line with a lot of the miniatures we've seen for the likes of Warcry.

The new Darkoath Marauders set comes with a variety of one-handed weapons for you to use in battle or spears. You can also make a Champion, Musician or Icon Bearer for the warband as well. There are also thirty different heads for you to choose from, a dozen or so shields and five male and five female bodies for you to choose from. A superb new set for representing the Marauders of The Mortal Realms.

Have no fear if you'd prefer to dive in and do battle on horseback. You can also get your hands on these ace Darkoath Fellriders.

Another great set with loads of heads, shields, and face masks for your horses and then a bunch of javelins and blades. You can, again, also build a champion, musician and icon bearer for your unit. Either use these riders to harass your enemies or smash them to the ground under the hooves of your massive chargers.

New Darkoath Army Set

All of these miniatures are included as part of the upcoming Darkoath Army Set which celebrates the release of these new miniatures for your Slaves To Darkness army.

Darkoath Army Set // Warhammer Age Of Sigmar

You get the Darkoath Chieftain, two sets of the Darkoath Marauders, Darkoath Fellriders and Wilderfiend. Combine this with the Brand Tribe that we saw over the weekend plus a plethora of different kits from the Warhammer Age Of Sigmar range (like the Chieftain or the Warqueen) and you'll be fit to make a proper Marauder army.

As well as the Army Set, there is a new supplement coming for Slaves To Darkness. The new Battletome Supplement: Darkoath will cover the new Warscrolls from the army box, and the lore of the Darkoath plus feature new art for you to use when painting your armies. Chaos Undivided awaits!

The Army Set will feature four Warscroll Cards and a set of Tokens plus the supplement. The Supplement will then be available separately as a free PDF download after the launch of the set.

Could you be tempted by this new Army Set and those new miniatures?
