Helsmiths Of Hashut
Released: November 2025, Warhammer Community.
Ruthless and avaricious, the duardin worshippers of the bull-headed god Hashut see the riches of the realms as theirs by right. Binding daemons into their weapons, they unleash hellish infernos to engulf their foes, marching forth to claim whatever is left amongst the ashes.
Battle Trait
Optional Rule
Battle Traits are optional rules that add additional flavour to a warband. All fighters must share this runemark to be eligible.
There are also Battle Traits for each Grand Alliance.
| Trait Runemark | Trait |
|---|---|
Horns of Hashut | At the start of each battle round, gain a number of daemonic power points (DPP) equal to the number of friendly desolation tokens on the battlefield (see the ‘Leave the Land in Ruin’ ability). At the start of a friendly fighter’s activation, if that fighter has the Helsmiths of Hashut () and Warrior () runemarks, you can spend up to 3 DPP on that fighter. If you do so, apply the corresponding effects below to that fighter’s first attack action made that activation. The effects are cumulative (for example, if you spent 3 DPP on that fighter, all the effects would apply to them). 1 DPP – If it is a melee attack action, add 1 to the damage points allocated by each critical hit from that attack action. If it is a missile attack action, add 1 to the damage points allocated by a single critical hit from that attack action. 2 DPP – Add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack action. 3 DPP – Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that attack action. |
Reaction
| Runemark | Reaction |
|---|---|
| [Reaction] Disposable Lackeys: A friendly fighter with the Helsmiths of Hashut () and Warrior () runemarks can make this reaction after they are targeted by an attack action but before the hit rolls are made. Pick a friendly Hobgrot Vandal that is visible to the attacker and within 3" of the fighter making this reaction. Remove that Hobgrot Vandal from the battlefield and set them up again within 1" of the fighter making this reaction and as near as possible to the attacker. That Hobgrot Vandal is now the target of that attack action. |
