I think they are scratch built. The worm reminds me of Reaper's Purple Worm but the one you posted is fully above the ground.

I don't know about the marauders but my guess is the fly heads are from toy bugs and the rest is green stuff.

It also makes sense to prime a scratch built model to show it off better.

they have to be scratched up, sure looks like GW stuff as base for figs. based on chaos stuff, very cool stuff done well would love to see them with a bit of paint.

Well there's plenty of danish speakers on here (me amongst them) if you post the listing I'll see if I can translate it for you.

Those seem to be converted. The "chaos warriors" are nothing but chaos marauders with plenty of putty, different weapons, and toy bits.

Similar "worms" can also be got from Gribbly Minis and Troll Forged if that helps.
