The Spire Tyrants Rampage Into Warcry With New Preview
October 24, 2019 by brennon
The Spire Tyrants are the next warband to be joining the war to win the favour of Archaon The Everchosen. Battling in the fighting pits of the Varanspire itself these are some of the most hardened warriors in the Realm Of Chaos and they seek to prove themselves against all of these pretenders and upstarts in Warcry.
The set has been designed to represent a little bit of a mix between the traditional Chaos Warrior, the old Marauders and also some more martial elements of the Chaos horde that takes to the battlefield. You'll notice that as well as regular humans in the mix you've also got a grim-looking Bestigor and there is even a howling Duardin!
There is also a good mix of male and female miniatures in the set which is neat to see. I particularly like the fellow in this expanded image above with the shield and axe combo going on. Much like as we mentioned when it comes to the new Necromunda release, these models are great for Warcry but could then also be used to populate units in Age Of Sigmar proper too.
I could see them as Champions, leaders and special elements to show that the forces of Chaos are varied and draw in all manner of broken creatures.
There is certainly a gladiatorial theme running through the models too which is neat to see. I'm still never sure on painting the damnable trim on Chaos armour but this doesn't look like too much of a pain.
What do you make of The Spire Tyrants from Games Workshop?

The naughty Dwarf is interesting and only one model with foot on rock!
Needs less rock and more hat.
When you’re the shortest guy in a tribe made up of humans and beastmen, you’re allowed to get away with that. Though I guess the horns make up for it.
Seeing the dwarf my first thought os the Hanna Barbara character Captain Cavemen. He’d need a huge club though.
That beastman is amazing. I need him in my life
at last a proper chaos dwarf again! Not one of those that are all old hat.
Who stole Abaddon’s clothes?
Some interesting new forces for the chaos army’s.
I thought the whole point of the Warbands fighting in Warcry was to BECOME Mary S- I mean Archaon’s Chosen. What’s the point of having a faction that’s already that?
Because they believe their chosen…but I’m sure Archaon is a little more fickle than that. So they now have to go put and kick everyone else’s asses.
Don’t even know why anyone WANTS to be one of the Mary Sue’s Chosen. In the Realmgate Wars novel Call of Archaon, he basically sends them out to charge cannons.
I second the beastman model is awesome.
