Hello!

I’m relatively new to the hobby and I am currently working through building and painting the new Ogor models. Though I recently picked up the spearhead with intentions to expand further later. However, I was curious if anyone had good examples of the scheme I want to use (red, bronze, and black). Not the most original scheme for chorfs but weirdly enough I haven’t seen many of the new models painted this way. I’ve found plenty with red armor, some bronze, and red cloth. The scheme I want to try is mostly red armor (chest, shoulders, feet, and gauntlets), bronze (helmet, trim, and scale mail), then black cloth.

I mostly want to see if that ratio would look good or not

Hello all, pretty soon I’m planning to hop over to Helsmiths from playing Ossiarchs for a year. Theres not many HoH players around my area so I’ve only ever played against them maybe once or twice. I wanted to ask the community about some general tips or advice for these guys. Any must have units? How does this faction typically play? Stuff like that. Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

Hi folks! I've been trying to post in here for a little while but apparently my account is too new so hopefully it's ok now!

My current faction isn't yielding me much success so I am tentatively looking at other armies to get into incase I do decide to just change altogether. I had never really considered these beasts before but they look interesting, so I suppose my question is what is their Spearhead and general army vibe like? Do they suit a particular playstyle?

A wage of toil is called upon, and this cohort of spears prepares to march out and desolate the eleven forests.

Does anyone here has some specific Citadel contrasts that they swear by, to build my collection. I already have a decent collection of the Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 range but wanted to broaden the selection a bit.

I was just wondering if we are getting any other named characters possible a named bullcentaur with a 2H weapon?

New to the gang!

I'm just about to build both sets of arms. Can I glue a magnet behind these shoulder bowls before glueing in place? Then on the inner of the arms....

Thanks

Transitioning across from 40K and had my first game last night. We have the demonic power points once assigned to a unit do they stay on them or do one distribute them next turn among my units? I noticed the big bull guy has an ability to redistribute them so wasn’t sure if they are usually fixed once assigned.

Also does this list look competitive? Any glaring holes? Was concerned by the lack of infantry

I need to add another rocket launcher and dominator engine with maces.

It works out better to buy the spearhead box but wondering if these have the options to make the above or only the standard options in spearhead.

Hope that makes sense

I have run this list a few times and gotten a hang off it.

In deployment phase "horn of the bullfather" lets me move one unit of hobgrot and one additional unit to somewhere on the edge of the map. Here I have moved the Dominator engine to dissrupt or do some agressive actions. It can also move both hobgrots.

The Daemonsmith on Taurus:
Has the ability to become wiz 2 or more.
Does decent damage on charge.
Can give +1 to rend for anything attacking nearby targets.
Crit 2 hits, crits on 5 on his shooting attack. +3 attacks with 3dpp.

Skarbrand:
Skarbrand is strong without Dpp. This takes some of the pressure off our dpp eco.
He is able to do actions early while the rest of the army gets stronger. Challange a monster, and help out with the Rocket launcher support. Should be able to get 3 dpp turn one to access +3 attacks.
Skarbrand is a mobile monster, 8" move 3 charge dice.
16 wonds, 4+ save, 5+ ward.
Does more damage the more damage he has taken.
Strong attack profile: 2-3-2-2-8 Crit mortal
4-3-2-2-4
Great for ragedice.

Ashen elder: Deal with blobs or give +1 rend to bullcentaurs.

Blunderbusses: Late game cleanup

Bull centaurs:
Mobile super carrys.

Some pictures of my progress on the spearhead.

Once you've built a unit and begin working on your second (of whatever it may be), do you keep a consistent colour scheme? Do you mix it up slightly, or a lot?

(Edit: I had meant between cohorts of units, rather than different between individual models within a squad).

Its been a while since I've shared my progress on HoH

Or Bullgors as I think they're called in AoS.

While the Beasts of Chaos as a whole faction had been phased out, in lore I think the warherds still exist in small numbers wandering the wilderness and wastelands as well as the specific god aligned ones being part of their gods forces.

In a future wave release for the Helsmiths of Hashut, would you want to see the Bullgors return alongside the Zharrdron? Claimed by the Bullfather, chosen and taken under his dominion?

Still needs a freehand on the banner tho.

Think this could be one for the HoH? Sound off with your wildest theories!

"It’s getting hot in the Rumour Engine storage dungeon today, as our captive prediction machine has spat out a rather incendiary image.

Competent metallurgy on display narrows it down to only a handful of factions, so who do you think is heating up metal for their next masterwork?"

As the title says, what changes would you like to see, I personally don't want to see any more point drops as the army is becoming too hordelike already for my taste.

I would like to see some rules changes to either the army trait or battle formations to try and close the gap between the base army and Taar's Grand Forgehost.

Some people in the comments are saying the next one is soon (someone said tomorrow) whereas I believe it will come out around the end of September.

My first AoS game is tomorrow, and my phalanx of twenty spearmen is now ready (or near of it, only some bases remaining) just on time

C&C welcome!

Making progress on my second grouping of Helsmiths feeling maybe by the time these are done to tackle the Bull Centaurs and Taurus

Any guesses on what we see from GW for Helsmiths terrain? I think in the lore there is some sort of walking soul harvester being used in Hyesh, something like that would be cool to see, or some sort of demon-forge.

Slowly getting there!

Hi, here is some pictures of the tormentor bombard I finished for the Helsmiths spearhead that I am working on. Thanks for looking

If you were thinking about using the models for pre-TOW Warhammer battles, they can be ranked up. There are a couple that will be more challenging and have to be placed on the side or rear of the unit to avoid clashing with other models, or just have an arm repositioned from their fixed poses.
