The Chaos Dwarfs stomp into Age of Sigmar with daemon engines, elite duardin, a Taurus, and the new Helsmiths of Hashut army set!
Age of Sigmar players, meet your new dark masters: the Helsmiths of Hashut. These aren’t your granddad’s Chaos Dwarfs.
The Zharrdron have finally stormed onto the scene, armed to the tusks with daemonic weapons, infernal artillery, and a cruel streak that makes them the perfect addition to the forces of Chaos.
Let’s break down why the Helsmiths of Hashut might just steal the show — and your next paycheck.
Who Are the Helsmiths of Hashut?
The Zharrdron are duardin who long ago pledged themselves to Hashut, Father of Darkness. In the Mortal Realms, they’ve taken corruption and industrial brutality to new heights, an army of weaponized arrogance clad in heavy armor and powered by enslaved daemons.
This isn’t a polite invitation to tea; this is a dark industry marching to war.
What’s in the Helsmiths of Hashut Army Set?
This launch box is stacked and ready for war:
- War Despot: Your brutal centerpiece hero, clad in hulking armor and wielding daemon-infused weapons. He’s here to drive your troops forward or into the dirt if they fail.
- Infernal Cohorts: Zharrdron infantry armed with daemon-forged spears. Uniformly vicious and disciplined, these form the beating heart of your army.
- Hobgrot Gong Carrier: Yes, your army includes a Hobgrot with a huge gong. It’s loud, crude, and absolutely on brand.
- Tormentor Bombard: Artillery that rains daemon-infused shells across the battlefield. Chaos munitions at their most terrifying.
- Deathshrieker Rocket Battery: A kit option packed with warheads that ignite mid-air, scorching everything in sight.
- Dominator Engine: A daemon engine built for smashing and burning. Whether armed with bane maces or immolation cannons, it’s a walking nightmare for your opponents.
You also get a stunning launch-edition Battletome: Helsmiths of Hashut, brimming with lore, artwork, and rules. It’s your guide to mastering this elite and terrifying faction.
The Helsmiths Playstyle: Elite and Brutal
The Helsmiths of Hashut are no horde army. Every unit hits hard, and every model oozes dark power. Their mechanics lean into enslaved daemons as resources, fueling spellcraft and weapon enhancements. If you like to control the pace of the battle and punish mistakes with overwhelming force, this army is built for you.
Oh, and two new Regiments of Renown let you bring a taste of Hashut to other Chaos armies.
Coming Soon: More Evil Toys
The new Helsmiths of Hashut release after the army set, dragging more dark duardin straight into Age of Sigmar with a nasty mix of daemon engines, elite warriors, and a massive Taurus!
From eyeing new conversions, expanding your collection, to marching an army of cruel little tyrants to war, this release has plenty to fuel your hobby cravings.
New kits on the horizon include:
Daemonsmith / Ashen Elder Kit
The Daemonsmith is your go-to problem solver if your “problem” is that your opponent’s army is still standing. This sinister sorcerer isn’t just tossing fireballs for fun (though he does that very well). He’s also keeping your daemon engines in fighting shape, pouring foul magic into their iron guts so they stay operational and murderous.
Feeling more like a spiritual tyrant than a battlefield wizard? Build him as an Ashen Elder, that’s a grim priest of Hashut who feeds off the destruction left in the army’s wake.
Nearby units fight on longer and shrug off wounds sustained by his blasphemous rites. Either way, this kit delivers a model that oozes menace and utility, perfect for players who want both destructive power and battlefield support.
Bull Centaurs
The Bull Centaurs are back and more brutal than ever. These monsters combine the stubborn resilience of duardin with the raw fury of a charging bull, a terrifying fusion built to smash enemy lines before they even know what hit them. Their mauls aren’t for subtlety; they’re here to flatten anything left standing after the initial charge.
Want a more disciplined look? You can build them as Anointed Sentinels, guardians of sacred sites who excel at counterattacks.
Infernal Razers
Need some fire support with attitude? The Infernal Razers are ready to oblige. This squad brings five heavily armed duardin to the field, and you get options galore.
Go with Grizmalok blunderbusses for a devastating close-range punch, or kit them out with Karagthrun flamehurlers and burn everything between you and your objective.
Hobgrot Vandalz
The Hobgrot Vandalz are the perfect expendable rabble. No one respects them, not even their Zharrdron overlords, but they’re useful, and that’s what counts. These sneering mobs fill gaps in your line, clog objectives, and give your more valuable units breathing room.
They’ll likely die in droves, and that’s fine, it’s what they’re there for. But while they’re around, they can tie up your opponent’s best-laid plans just long enough for your daemon-forged war engines to get to work.
Urak Tarr on Ghorrakos
Urak Tarr isn’t just any sorcerer; he’s ancient, wicked, and terrifying in equal measure. Said to have learned under the gaze of Hashut himself, Urak is both feared and cursed.
The price of his power? A creeping petrification turning his flesh to stone, though it seems to have done nothing to dull his malice.
He rides Ghorrakos, a monstrous Infernal Taurus that’s as much daemon as beast, and together they make an imposing centerpiece for any Helsmiths army.
Urak’s pulpit on Ghorrakos’ back isn’t just for show; it lets him rain down spells, curses, and daemonic fire with ease while the Taurus charges headlong into the enemy.
New Battletome & Goodies
The Helsmiths launch includes two other Battletome formats: a standard hardcover and a compact gamer’s edition that fits right into your bag. Handy for the player who wants rules at their fingertips without the bulk.
A themed dice set also rounds out the release.
Final Thoughts From Us
If you want a dark duardin army that’s elite, hard-hitting, and dripping in style and lore, the Helsmiths of Hashut are calling. The range blends stunning new sculpts, rich narrative hooks, and unique mechanics, making them a standout addition to Age of Sigmar.
From industrial aesthetics, daemon-powered machines, to sheer spiteful cruelty, there’s plenty to love, and even more to crush.
