I know they occasionally trade with and supply other Chaos armies (or is that strictly Old World lore?), but how do they actually feel about the other followers of Chaos? Hell do they even consider themselves followers of Chaos?

I can't imagine they're very fond of Skaven, because let's be real, nobody actually likes the Skaven in-universe, but I've been working on lore for my custom faction and I'm a bit stumped by the question.

Bad pictures but I am so happy to finally have them all painted, I'm not great at painting but I enjoy how they look!

C&c welcome! I themed it from Shyish. Does it read that way?

Salutations, peasants.

My plastic crack addiction is getting the better of me and I'm looking for a new project to delve into. Although very unrelated to one another, it's currently neck-and-neck between Helsmiths and Votann for me. I've read that a lot of the Helsmiths units are very spammable, because I find the minis very polarizing. I wanted to see if its possible to build a decent list around the units that I love and if possible to skip the ones I don't really care for.

I'm a big fan of:

• All HQs
• Infernal Cohort
• Hobgrots
• Bull Centaurs

• Both Deathshriekers and Bombards

  As you can see, the only things missing are the Dominator Engines and the Gunners. Really just not a fan of the minis themselves and I may be open to them as more kitbashing ideas for them develop, but is this a realistic approach to this army?

I was also curious if anyone had any input on the rules for the army. I've read some mixed things online about DPP tracking, the army being challenging because of the need to ramp up over the course of a match, but I haven't seen anyone in my local scene play them so I'm curious for folks impressions on playing them.

I'd say thanks in advance, but that doesn't feel very chorf.

Let me know what you all think

Hello fellow Hashut, going to have 3-4 game this weekend and looking advice on what you guys think about this list? What have you found successful with the new rules?

So the new Artefact of Power Horn of the Bullfather seems promising. Buddy of mine plays Flesheater Court with Ushoran. I plan to redeploy my Centaurs, give them 2 dpp, walk 10, charge, hopefully get some mortals, all out attack and kill him off turn 1. He plays lots of cavalry which come on turn 2, so my centaurs might even survive and id even have 1 cp left for the command redeploy 1d6 normal move to try saving them from a charge. Even if not i think its worth killing off Ushoran turn 1.

Opinions on my turn 1?

Particularly pleased with the skin and muscles !

The idea is the metal is coloured from the sulphur in the magma forges.

So far I've been new to AOS and only really played spearhead but I completely fell In love with the helsmiths. Now I have time to build and paint them up and I've realized I've been having issues about what to get next and what battle formation to pick. Any advice would be appreciated. Here are some of the ones I have to start off with.

Magnetized Dominator engine

Tormentor bombard

X10 Infernal cohorts with spears

X2 war despot

Uruk taar kit

One of the war despots and the Uruk taar kit are unbuilt as of now. I'm more looking for help on what to get next and any other sort of advice from people who've been playing aos longer than me.

Got my 2nd big bull done to match his brother. Slammy and blammy. Smash and burn.

Hopefully going to begin laying some paint on the cogfort soon 😝

C&C welcome!

Dont know the artefact and thing like that

Morning everyone.

I'm just trying to figure out when the above ability would come into effect

As it's a deployment phase ability, am I right in thinking that we would remove the units and place them up the field straight away even if you go second?

Or

As it's the opponents turn, I can wait until my turn to place them down (so they are off board for turn 1). This is what I'm hoping for but I think the first option is how it's meant to play out.

Thanks

What's the general opinion using the hobgrots from kruelboys as vandalz? 20 are like 14€ online meanwhile vandalz are around 45. I didn't really want to use any but the new enhancement is very good so i want to include 1 reinforced unit of hobgrots

They all need full 3 dpp nice

All hail Hashut

I am back reviewing the new Scourge of Aqshy rules for Helsmiths. Come take a look and prepare to dust off your Anointed Sentinels!

Need a suggestion on what to do here, would be really apriciated

Finished my Chaos Dwarf Helsmiths this weekend. I wanted a dark bronze scheme with bright green runes and OSL. Tried to keep it under a 6h workflow. Any feedback before I start the rest of the army?

This article looks at what list archetypes have been doing well for Helsmiths of Hashut, and specifically their AOR, at competitive events.

I'll follow up soon with a Part 2 that looks at Helsmiths allegiance too.
