It’s about time. The Chaos Space Marines are finally getting new Mutilator Miniatures and Games Workshop is showing them off!
Ever since we got plastic Obliterators I’ve been hoping that GW would remake the Mutilators.Those old miniatures were…not my favorite. These new ones are bigger, badder, and made from plastic! And Games Workshop is showing them off in all their glory.
The hulking monstrosities known as Mutilators are born when a mind obsessed with slaughter and butchery falls victim to one of the many technoviruses that gestate within the Warp. At first their symptoms are subtle, manifesting as a compulsion to constantly clean and sharpen weapons or a refusal to be parted with their favourite blade, but soon flesh and armour begin to knit into one impossible whole as the host’s mind decays and their body swells.
Chaos Space Marine Mutilators
Just so we’re on the same page above is one of the Mutilators. Below are the old miniatures for them:
Yeah. I know they were supposed to be a close combat take on the Obliterators. But I could never bring myself to spend money on these guys. If you liked these miniatures then go for it…we’re just going to have to agree to disagree on this opinion. The new plastic versions look way more appealing to me.
Also, I’m not 100% sure on the base size but they look to be larger and more in line with the plastic Obliterators based on the legs. Those look very similar:
At least we also know what these teasers were for now:
Now I’m starting to get the itch to run Obliterators, Mutilators, and Hellbrutes together. Maybe with a Lord Discordant and a few Venomcrawlers, too? Oh but wait…does that mean we’re also about to see the OTHER teaser reveal?
Defiler? Please be a Defiler. It might be time to go full-on Chaos Space Marine Monster Mash with these kits!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to start planning a new Chaos Marine list. On the plus(?) side it looks like I’ve got plenty of time.
This new set of three Mutilators will be coming to a shelf near you within a few months or so – alongside Kravek Morne, and this mysterious ‘Eye of Terror’ book that we know so little about. Will there be more to see from the forces of Chaos before the Iron Warriors launch their campaign against the Imperium? Our prognosticators say “yeah probably”.
