Particularly pleased with the skin and muscles !

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

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!

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

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?

Just seen the Horns in S2D newly updated legends warscroll on GW.

If only GW put the Helsmiths tag on these guys.

I know they aren't game changing but it would have been nice to field them.

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.

Haven't checked for other changes yet in rules but the points drop for cohort with spears was not needed in my opinion as they already punch above their weight.

Glad Dominator Engines are down as well as I love their sculpts.

What i thought would take me an age...i knocked out in 24 hours haha, Helsmith crew, as much as possible of the fancy cities filigree removed. Cannon ends changed and hopefully enough Hashut added bits and bobs to give it some personality.

The proof will be in the paint job, wish me luck!

C&C Welcome

This little dude is actually super useful in my 1k list and I’m happy with the points reduction. Tried for the first time to do an OSL thing with the flame but the results were a bit meh. Anyways, he’s ready to heal up those dommy mommies on the table regardless lol.

Sumal of the Acrid Rain
War Despot
- A sadistic zharrdron with a penchant for testing the sharpness of his glaive on his inferiors, usually hobgrots
- Indebted to Daemonsmith Molgissar Smeltheart after the “Iron Port Incident” where Sumal butchered a whole Cohort on a whim. Molgissar covered up the story, and now has the Despot’s Wage of Toil
- Only dispatched on seek-and-destroy missions due to his unreliable cruelty to slaves

The Innel Jailers
10x Infernal Cohort
- Kinsmen of Sumal from the disreputable Clan Innel, they help run his daemonic gunboat “Cage of Ancestry”
- Led by Quartermaster Zaul Buulsdottir, a fiery orator who longs to join the Scorched Sect once the debts to her foul uncle have been fulfilled
- When the Cohort is split into two teams of 5 zharrdron, Zaul assigns the standard bearer Harxklas to lead a team

Soulsbane
Tormentor Bombard
- Stromni, Frukton, and a blind hobgrot called Laghat operate an older bombard retired from regular service
- Zharrdron don’t typically name their artillery pieces, but after watching a volley disintegrate a swarm of Nighthaunt, the disturbingly affectionate Frukton dubbed the bombard “Soulsbane”

Shandahr’s Final Spite
Dominator Engine with Immolation Cannons
- Originally christened as Desolate Spite, this war machine was crafted by the late Daemonsmith, Shandahr the Grey. He was mortally wounded by Ossiarch Bonereapers and ordered his Cohort to toss his body into his creation’s furnace
- Seemingly possessed by its creator’s cruel sentience and eternal hatred for Nagash’s minions
- Zaul Buulsdottir regularly maintains and inspects the Final Spite for imperfections, revering it as an avatar of Hashut

A good change as it removes the unesscessary complexity of the ability. Unfortunatly I still think Taar's Grand Forgehost is better but having the flexibility to run either is better.
