HELSMITHS OF HASHUT: WAR DESPOT

Command. Conquer. Burn.

The War Despots of the Helsmiths are brutal overlords of the forge legions — towering figures of iron discipline and unholy devotion. Clad in rune-forged armor and wreathed in smoke, they rule through fear and fire, driving their followers to wage endless war in the name of Hashut. Each War Despot is a living symbol of dominion, their every command carrying the weight of divine wrath.

What’s in the Box

• Multipart plastic kit to build one War Despot, the battle-hardened commander of the Helsmith legions.

• Includes multiple weapon options, such as the Infernal Cleaver or Daemonforged Axe, along with customizable head and armor variants.

• Optional components allow you to assemble the War Despot with a banner of conquest or a horned helm, adding character and presence to the model.

Lore & Background

Where Daemonsmiths forge engines of war, the War Despots forge warriors. They are the warlords and taskmasters of the Zharrdron hosts — commanders who lead from the front, their rage and cruelty inspiring those beneath them to greater acts of bloodshed.

The War Despot embodies Hashut’s creed of domination through flame and fear. Their voices carry across the din of battle like thunder from a volcano, commanding ranks of twisted duardin and daemon-bound constructs alike. To disobey a War Despot is to invite annihilation, for their fury burns hotter than the fires that birthed them.

On the Battlefield

• Master of Command: Inspires nearby Helsmith units, granting enhanced leadership and combat effectiveness.

• Tyrant’s Might: Armed with devastating melee weapons capable of cleaving through enemy champions and monstrosities alike.

• Infernal Fury: Grows stronger the longer the battle rages, embodying the unstoppable momentum of Hashut’s legions.

• Army Anchor: Serves as a powerful leader choice, uniting infernal warriors, daemon engines, and enslaved ranks under a single iron will.

Hobby & Display Appeal

The War Despot stands as a fearsome centerpiece for any Helsmiths of Hashut collection. From the flame-etched armor and towering horns to the jagged weaponry and imposing stance, every detail exudes authority and menace. Whether leading a phalanx of infernal troops or standing defiantly atop a pile of scorched ruins, the War Despot perfectly captures the ruthless grandeur of Hashut’s chosen warlords.
