New Apostles & Terminators Coming To Warhammer 40,000
March 22, 2019 by brennon
Games Workshop has slipped a few new releases coming our way into their articles this week focusing in on the Chaos Space Marines. Warhammer 40,000 is going to get a whole lot more crazy and zealous with the likes of the Dark Apostle getting thrown into the mix.
As someone mentioned on Twitter, the new Chaos stuff is getting seriously whacky and over-the-top which is awesome. I love the look of the Dark Apostle there with his flaming, cursed book. Whilst he does have foot-on-rock syndrome I think he looks epic, especially the facial details and those horns curling from his forehead.
He is then flanked by some chaotic servants, the Dark Disciples.
This is another great addition into the mix, giving you some cool eyes onto the other denizens of the Warhammer 40,000 world who follow in the wake of these Traitor Legions. Whilst I'm sure they have a great role to play in-game I think that they'd be awesome as part of an epic diorama showing off a Chaos Legion marching through a ruined city they've just destroyed.
A Brutal Assault
As well as these dark followers of the Chaos Gods, Games Workshop also added into the mix a sneak peek at the new Chaos Space Marine Terminators.
They look a little bigger than their predecessors although many of the same ideas have continued over into these new designs. I particularly like the tusks attached to the helmets giving these warriors a daemonic feel.
I think you could even perhaps go through changing the lead Chaos Terminator to actually have a daemonic head, gifted by the Gods for his service.
What do you make of these new Chaos offerings?

That dude on the right (with the skull and chain) looks like he’s asking himself “how should I use this thing? Who designed that? If that thing messes my robes up there will be blood!” XD
Looks like he’s doing the ymca a bit;
“young man, theres no need to feel down… I said young man, Nurgle is in town… i said young man, the emperor let you down, but there’s no. Need. To. Be unhappy
*boltgun shots*
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM
its fun to pray to gooood of decay.
GOOOOOD OF DECAY YAY
You will never be clean… There are no meals… That’s maggots you can feel…
Young man…..
I would up vote this all day!
Why did you stop? This is brilliant!!
I love these. The Disciples are awesome as are the Termies!
It’s so subtle, but just the addition of loin cloths to the chaos stuff, adds that splash of potential colour to make them look quite different to loyalists. See, we didn’t need spikes and tentacles all along
They do have spikes though ha ha, hopefully ones that do not break off 100% of the time.
Great terminators an the disciples will fit 40K and warhammer.
More great looking Chaos Space Marine models. CAD sculptors at GW are really giving they all for Chaos Space Marines. So much so that some of them are sure to be Chaos worshipers.
Still on the fence about the CAD sculpting, the minis done using this method have fantastic detail BUT “something” about the posing always seems off with CAD sculpts. If you look at sculpts by the masters such as Kev White of Hasslefree you see a sense of motion that CAD sculpting never can attain (something about seeing the sculpt in 3D in your hand I suppose). The pose for the Dark Apostle is rather awful (foot on rock, arms in a YMCA pose as other have said…in fact it looks like he’s about to fall over), the pose on the… Read more »
True. But CAD sculpting is how they these days do it at GW and I happen to like those that are shown here so saying otherwise would be me lying. Besides when end result of CAD sculpting is from my opinion bad I do say it as well so I try to judge each sculpt based on it’s own merits.
Most METAL high school Drum Major EVER.
He has a BOOK, made of PAPER, that is both BLEEDING and BURNING without actually burning. It appears evil and epic, like it should inspire his fellow chaos marines as much as it amps him up.
…but his two acolytes look like their are chll’n at work on hump-day.
This is how Chaos should look. It’s not over done, there isn’t crazy amounts of sculpting going on to make a model look like someone just threw it together. It gets the point across and makes the models nice to look at as well.
These new minis are exactly what Chaos has been needing for a long long time.
I’m a little disappointed by the direction the chaos models seem to be heading. I always found the spikes, horns and top knots a bit 80’s glam. I would’ve hoped they’d move away from that by now. The colder, more archaic look of the Horus Heresy is far more sinister IMO. The terminators in particular could really have done with a bigger overhaul.
Gee. I wonder if Loyalist Terminators will be redone?
I really doubt that since when it comes to loyalist Marines these days it’s all about Primaris that have Aggressors instead of Terminators.
Arg maybe it’s the pic but those new terminators don’t seem to have been given human proportions again. The worse thing about most of GW’s terminators is that they’re wildly out-of-proportion: i.e. a human’s head is completely clear of a human’s shoulder: whereas terminator models weirdly have the head roughly the same level as the shoulders! madness.
I guess maybe they’re meant to be hunch-backs but arg.
