This Warhammer: The Old World Core Set has the best Chaos Warriors GW have ever made (review)
The Old World is getting its first true two-player starter set, and it arrives with some of the most detailed Chaos sculpts Games Workshop have ever produced. We’re unboxing the Warhammer: The Old World 2026 Core Set, which brings brand-new Chaos Warriors, Chaos Knights, and Champions alongside a sizeable Grand Cathay host, all packed in with a revised hardcover rulebook. In this review, we go through every kit in detail with high-res sprue images and a 4K unboxing video.
Showcase: Miniatures of the year 2025 (painted by the Tale of Painters crew)
The best Warhammer miniatures of 2025 were chosen by you on Warhammer Community. Here on Tale of Painters we were also busy last year and painted quite a few of the chosen miniatures, putting our own unique stamp on them. We’re presenting you which ones in this showcase post.
Showcase: Slaves to Darkness Urkhan, the Dark Warden (inc. painting guide)
In this post I’m presenting Urkhan, the Dark Warden. This Chaos Lord was recently released as a commemorative miniature for Warhammer Day 2025, and I grabbed him to test the new True Metallic Metal paints from Vallejo on his armour. More pictures and a detailed painting guide can be found here.
Review: Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set
I was not expecting that: new Chaos Marauders were not on my hobby bingo list for 2025. But now it has come true, and before us lies the first Warhammer The Old World army box with completely new models. In this review, we will take a very close look at the HQ sprue images and build options of the new Marauder and Marauder Horsemen kits.
Showcase: Chaos Sorcerer Lord (inc. painting guide)
In today’s blog post I document painting and photographing my finished Abraxia astride the monstrous Thanatorg. There’s a stunning photo I’ve taken in the style of Frank Frazetta’s art and a complete painting guide with some top tips.
