If you thought the Mortal Realms were safe, think again.
The Helsmiths of Hashut bring fire, steel, and sheer arrogance wherever they march. From their opulent war machines to the daemonic fury of their cavalry, these forces are all about crushing foes under hoof and hammer alike. Whether you are a veteran of Age of Sigmar or a curious new player, this primer reveals how Daemonsmiths, Ashen Elders, and Bull Centaurs combine to make a truly terrifying army. Get ready to strip, despoil, and dominate as the twin influences of industry and Hashut’s tyranny guide your battleplan.
Daemonsmiths – Masters of Fire, Ash, and the Infernal Taurus
Daemonsmiths are the backbone of the Helsmiths’ deadly tactics. At their peak, they ride the mighty Infernal Taurus, a living engine of destruction with horns and hooves perfect for goring enemies.
With the Unholy Stampede ability, all friendly cavalry nearby can Retreat and still Charge later, making tactical repositioning deadly and smooth. Their melee stats are brutal: 6 attacks, hitting on 4+, wounding on 2+, 2 rounds, and dealing 3 damage each. Even those who cannot yet ascend to mount an Infernal Taurus prove formidable on foot, repairing war machines with Molten Mending and keeping the army’s infernal engines running at full fury. Every daemonic power point increases the range and healing, rewarding careful resource management in battles.
Ashen Elders – Preachers of Pain and Fanaticism
The Ashen Elders bring a different kind of threat, combining piety with battlefield influence. Their Stoked Fanaticism allows nearby units to ignore the first damage point allocated to them each phase. Standing within 6 inches, they inspire units to endure wounds that would scatter lesser troops. These venerable prelates foster an aura of resilience that complements the Daemonsmiths’ fiery assaults. In gameplay terms, they are perfect for supporting frontline units, reducing casualties while maintaining pressure on opponents.
Bull Centaurs – Charging Envoys of the Temple
Bull Centaurs are the living embodiment of Hashut’s wrath. Mutant demigods with bull-like strength, they use Bull-Charge to inflict mortal damage with devastating effectiveness. Each daemonic power point improves the potency of their charge rolls, making them ideal for breaking tough enemy lines. Meanwhile, the Anointed Sentinels, a more disciplined branch, strike first in combat with Zealous Counter-Attack, letting them meet charging foes head-on. Together, these units create a terrifying synergy of raw power, speed, and tactical flexibility.
Integrating Helsmiths Forces – Fire, Fury, and Strategy
The Helsmiths’ power lies in combining the mobility and impact of their Infernal Tauruses and Bull Centaurs with the strategic support of Daemonsmiths and Ashen Elders. War machines belching daemonfire, cavalry charging and retreating seamlessly, and preachers boosting resilience all contribute to an army that punishes poor positioning and rewards clever planning. Whether repairing engines mid-battle or trampling foes under hooves, the Helsmiths reward players who embrace Hashut’s philosophy of tyranny, fire, and domination.
Final Thoughts – Step into Hashut’s Furnace
Age of Sigmar players can finally bring the might of Hashut’s champions to life. The Helsmiths offer a thrilling mix of brutal close combat, tactical flexibility, and daemonic flair. With Daemonsmiths riding Infernal Tauruses, Ashen Elders supporting with divine zeal, and Bull Centaurs smashing through lines, every battle feels cinematic and intense. If you want an army that combines spectacle, strategy, and sheer destructive power, the Helsmiths of Hashut are a perfect choice. Prepare to unleash fire and steel, and let the Mortal Realms feel the wrath of Hashut.
