Chaos Warrios Darkoath Marauders Archers old world fantasy battle masters Warhammer - Posted: August 10, 2025 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
These figures were the ones I was dreading the most from the Battle Masters Chaos army, and I really
considered not bother to paint them at all. I was going to replace them with 4th edition fantasy goblin
archers with those funny smurf hats that later became known as night goblins. Anyway, when the Oathmark
Marauders were released and I realized that GW was going back ot the punk-rock esthetic for Chaos, and
away from the Norse esthetic, I changed my mind, and I'm glad I did. These are fantastic barbarian punk rockers
and their hair is amazing and was a lot of fun to paint! Yes, it's pride-inspired!

The Chaos archers from behind, I really liked the crisp detail with not too much unecessary detail in there.

I had to throw some pumpkins on there... round hsields, how could I not? This is the last of the beastmen for
Battle Masters and I likely will never paint a beastmen figure again. They were a lot of fun tho and some of my
favourite figures from Battle Masters!

The detail on these was so clean and not overdone. I miss these days. Imagine how good these would be if there
were 20 different models? Oh my, these would be so popular haha!

I got this figure back in the early 2000s from a buddy who was dumping all of his Hero Quest figs.
I instantly hated it, so monopose and goofy with the sword-and-sorcery tights (skin I guess?) and giant He-Man
skull... but then as decades passed I came to really appreciate the simplicity and simplistic
design quality of the thing, and so yeah, decided to paint it up. Happy with how it turned out,
I definitely like it a lot more than the modern figures with their spindly realistic proportions!

Is that what the Chaos Sorcerer from Hero Quest looks like from behind?!?
Chaos Warrios Knights Warhammer - Posted: June 22, 2025 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
I picked these up dirt cheap on eBay to add some flare to my Battle Masters Chaos knights. I may or
may not use them for anything, but I thought I'd paint it up in the purple and orange color scheme
of the others for fun and see how it fits. I'm pretty happy with it, but the purple scheme is very
clean and I feel like this generation of Chaos really turned away from those clean lines and into
the dirt and grime and decay. Note that the lance arm is from the first generation of partially
plastic Chaos knights.

From the other side you really see only purple... Lost in purple really.
Chaos Warrios Knights Warhammer - Posted: June 22, 2025 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
So much purple... Maybe the next one will be mostly orange? Or maybe I'll abandon purple all together.
Chaos Warrios Knights Warhammer - Posted: June 22, 2025 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Here they are all together with some old Battle Masters and modern Chaos warriors in the background
all looking great!
Battle Masters Darkoath Marauders Chaos Bowmen and Archers - Posted: January 30, 2025 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
I feel like these original Chaos warriors with bows are actually Chaos Marauders back when Chaos
was more representative of punk rock, before the marauders became more inspired by fantasy
Vikings. I had thought the punk-rock Chaos era was good and dead, but then I saw the Darkoath Maruaders
and rejoiced that Chaos had returned to the punk esthetic! I hated these figs for decades and decades and
actually planned to replace them with goblin archers up until the Darkoath Maruaders were released and I
began to truly appreciate what they represent. I much prefer punk-rock chaos to the fantasy Vikings; as
a historical pedantist, I can't abide the rediculously muscular, horned-helmeted Chaos vibe. I get why
people like it of course, it's just no for me!
Battle Masters Darkoath Marauders Chaos Bowmen and Archers - Posted: January 30, 2025 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The punnk-rock Chaos archers from the back, looking good. I really like the figs too, pretty well
detailed considering when they were made. I love the pose, even if there is only one pose.
Battle Masters, Hero Quest, Underworld Khagra's Ravagers Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
All of the recent Chaos warriors together in one big family shot! They scale pretty well... sure the head
is a bit small on the modern fig from Khagra's Ravagers, but otherwise, pretty good match!
Khagra's Ravagers Underworld Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Really like this figure, it's like the latest incarnation of the modernized Slambo in plastic. The Hero
Quest plastic figure is my favourite plastic Slambo, but this warrior from Khagra's Ravagers is pretty
cool too.
Battle Masters Hero Quest Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Comparison between a modern GW Chaos warrior and the Battle Masters, Hero Quest, early plastic figures.
You can really see the clear design lineage here. They're basically different takes on the same figure!
Hero Quest Warhammer Chaos Warrior - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Another take on the Hero Quest Chaos warrior, which will fit very well with my Battle Masters Chaos
warriors. I like the purple helmet better than the metal helpet I did before. Pretty happy with this
one and will add more in the future!
Hero Quest Warhammer Chaos Warrior - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Again the clean lines and unique character of this figure is quite nice.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
More of those lovely chaos warriors from Battle Masters. I really like these figs, some of my favourite
Chaos models of all time. Sure they're simple and single-posed, but they get the job done with the right
amount of character for me.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Really enjoyed painting these capes, just the right amount of detail for what they are.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
These beastment from Battlemasters take a lot of hate, but I feel like they are very well sculpted
and have a great amount of detail! Drybrushing works, altho probably those fancy washes that GW sells
might not since the details aren't super deep like the new GW figs. So much character, so much fun. I
struggled with the right paint scheme, but in the end I'm happy with how they turned out!
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 15, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
A back view of these beastmen. Loog at the great simple but effective detail on there, so good.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: January 18, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
This is one of my favourite plastics of all time for Chaos Warriors, it's the Slambo derivative
that could be found in the Hero Quest game. An absolutely wonderful Chaos warrior from which all
later Chaos Warriors derived! Painted up to match my other Chaos warriors from Battle Masters.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: January 18, 2024 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Although from different games, they were definitely from that same era where plastics were brand new
and Warhammer was just taking off across the world thanks to Hero Quest and Battle Masters. These two
will definitely feature prominently in my future Chaos armies!
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: August 16, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Here's the mighty Chaos Ogre on its Battle Masters base, all ready to smash
some Empire soldiers into smithereens. Note the freehand belly shield.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: August 16, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
A close up of the figure on its 40mm square base, which fits into the slot
on the Battle Masters base. I'm pretty happy with this figure, I put some gray putty
on the shoulder sleeve to cover the gap, but otherwise this is the same figs that was
moulded in 1991.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: August 16, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
This side shows off the weakest sculpted areas of the model, but it's not terrible.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: August 16, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The back of the Ogre Champion shows off its butt, and I'm pretty happy with those pants.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: August 16, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
A close up of the freehand shield design. It's based on the GW design, which is
quite obviously based on Greek Hoplite shield designs from classical Greece. I'm pretty
happy with it! I didn't have the heart to scuff it up or add chips or anything :D
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: April 14, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The design here is based on the Vampire Count for my undead army. She is on a
purple-and-orange barded horse, and since I plan to use these figs as vampire cavalry
I painted them the same. The shield is inspired by a jack-o-lantern, but it has a demonic
look as well. Overall, it was fun to paint this old Battlemaster figure with an old Chaos
Knight head on the horse.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: April 14, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Another of the vampire cavalry-themed Battlemaster chaos knights. This one has the
original heal. These miniatures are actually pretty awesome even though they are much maligned.
Again, the shield has a demon-like jack-o-lantern face.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: April 14, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The third chaos knight with the vampire cavalry barding theme that I used before. Note that this
shield is pretty much a straight-up jack-o-lantern, and not really demon inspired at all, which is fine.
Again with the original head.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: April 14, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
This chaos knight was the test figure, the first one that I painted in the vampire knight theme.
It has the metallic helmet, and the striped cloak, both of which I abandoned for the later figures.
This one does have the demon-inspired jack-o-lantern shield as well, and the Battlemaster head replaced
with a Chaos Knight horse head.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 27, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
I really like these Battle Masters Chaos Warriors, and they will look great
as Vampire Infantry in my Undead Kings of War army for sure. I kept with the
jack-o-lantern shield theme here, but went with a more sophisticated look
with a detailed shield design. Also, went with a purple armour, as opposed token_get_all
pure metal... otherwise I would have had to do too much metal!
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 27, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
They all look identical, given the poses, so I differentiated them with the shield
designs, using demons as inspiration for some, and scream for others.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 27, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
This is maybe my least favourite shield design, something about the eyes are just too...
something.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 27, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
This is an evil look, and the pupils in these eyes give the jack-o-lanterns a more
life-like look I think.
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 27, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
All oval teeth on this one I think turned out very well. This is one of my favourite
shield designs.
