Warhammer 40,000 – Brutal Chaos Characters Take Command
April 8, 2019 by brennon
Games Workshop is making sure that you have more command options when it comes to playing games with your Chaos Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000.
Leading the way is the terrifying Master Of Executions.
This brutal looking fellow is all about murdering Loyalists and anyone else who might get his way. His real focus is as a close combat powerhouse, charging into battle to hunt down enemy leaders and cut their heads from their shoulders.
He is clad in skins, leather, and bones. I quite like the miniature as a whole but I'm not sold on his face.
Dark Words & Dark Deeds
As well as this close combat murder machine, we have one of those calling up power to the Dark Gods. Say hello to the Dark Apostle and his followers.
I love the over-the-top nature of these sculpts. The servants are cool as a starting point, but the flaming, bleeding book of the Dark Apostle is an awesome new addition to the Chaos Space Marine line-up.
A New Lord
Obsidius Mallex is also coming to the tabletop. Following on from the events of Blackstone Fortress, he now has a chance to take command on the battlefield.
His slow and purposeful pose makes for an intimidating figure and that hammer is just...well...amazing. I love that as a choice of weapon and you can imagine the power it brings with it as it crushes through the armour of his foes.

That first one has an awefully clean axe for an executioner. ?. I think if you swapped the weapon and removed the backpack spikes/trophy rack he’d make a great Chaplain for a non-Codex Cimpliant Chapter. 😉
Good to see Obsidius Mallex available on his own; I imagine there’s plenty of eBay scalpers that’re going to be peeved at their prices for him being undercut. ?
I like this head way better than the hooded version.
That Axe has so much potential for Alignment with one of the Chaos Factions. The Plastic Nurgle Lord from Fantasy comes to mind.
All hail the dark Lord.
Love the figure’s.
To be honest I am not too keen on that Executioner but Dark Apostle and those servants that he has are really good. It’s also nice to see Obsidius Mallex to be available on his own.
Hit and miss for me. Firey-Jazz-Hands-Man isn’t my cup of tea. The others are absolutely superb.
Those servants for the Dark Apostle are great.
I think I will have to take a closer look at these at my local Games Workshop outlet. The Master of Executions and Mallex look like they could be converted to my World Eaters army without too much trouble.
Would anyone else like to see a completely new race added to WH40K? I think it’s time for a new direction to spice things up.
