Designers’ Commentary
Battletome: Helsmiths of Hashut
| Q: | When using ‘Harness Daemonic Power’, when daemonic power points are removed from units, are they retained to be reallocated to friendly units or are they lost? |
| A: | They are lost. |
| Q: | If a unit is affected by both the Ashen Elder’s ‘Stoked Fanaticism’ and the Taar’s Grand Forgehost spell ‘Reinforce Daemonsteel’, both of which allow a unit to ignore the first damage point allocated to it in a phase, do those abilities allow that unit to ignore just the first damage point allocated to it or does that unit ignore the first and second damage points allocated to it? |
| A: | Only the first damage point would be ignored. |
| Q: | If one of the WAR MACHINES in the Curse-Steel Battery has been destroyed, can the ‘Display of Total Power’ ability be used? |
| A: | Yes. |
| Q: | When a unit in a TAAR’S GRAND FORGEHOST army gains a daemonic power point (for example, from the Infernal Cohort with Hashutite Spears’ ‘Conquered Lands’ ability), does it lose that daemonic power point at the end of the battle round? |
| A: | No. |
Faction Rules
Battle Traits
Helsmiths of Hashut armies can use the following abilities:
 Once Per Turn (Army), Start of Your Turn |
HARNESS DAEMONIC POWER: The Helsmiths of Hashut believe themselves above the fell influence of Chaos and readily harness daemonic power to embolden their spellcraft and ensorcelled weapons.
Effect: You must use this ability at the start of each of your turns. Remove all daemonic power points from each friendly unit. Then, gain 1 daemonic power point for each friendly desolation token on the battlefield.
Then, allocate your daemonic power points to friendly non-HOBGROT HELSMITHS OF HASHUT units. Each unit can have a maximum of 3 daemonic power points. Then, all unallocated daemonic power points are lost.
Designer’s Note: Non-HOBGROT units have abilities that become more powerful depending on how many daemonic power points they have. We recommend using coloured dice to track the number of points each unit has.

You can have 1 Anvil of Apotheosis hero on your Order of Battle and/or army roster, unless otherwise specified in the battlepack you are using. They can be your warlord.
There are 7 steps to follow to create your hero:
1. Set a destiny point limit.
2. Fill out the starting warscroll.
3. Choose an Archetype.
4. Pick your hero’s origin and/or flaw.
5. Choose a Battle Mount.
6. Pick any Battle Mount Upgrades.

Your Hero's WarscrollYou can download a blank warscroll from warhammer-community.com on which to record all of your hero’s details. | ||
| The Anvil of Apotheosis is a hero creator. Using the rules in this section, you can create a custom warscroll for a HERO to use in your Path to Glory campaign. This can represent any miniature of your choosing, including one you have lovingly kitbashed or converted. After the Anvil of Apotheosis, you will find 2 Paths for Helsmiths of Hashut units. These follow the rules outlined for Paths in the Path to Glory battlepack you are using (e.g. Path to Glory: Ascension in the Core Book). | ||
Step 1 - Set a Destiny Point Limit
The Anvil of Apotheosis uses a currency called destiny points. First, you need to set a destiny point limit. This will determine how many destiny points you have to spend on your hero, what type of hero they will be and what their battle profile points cost will be.Pick 1 of the following:

Over the next few steps, you will pick options for your hero. Each option has a destiny point cost, abbreviated as DP. Keep a record of the number of destiny points you have spent. You cannot exceed the limit you have set.

Infernal Sorcerer -3DP

EXTRACT POWER: The hateful chanting of Hashut's priesthood rips energy from the realms.

Step 4 - Pick Your Hero's Origin And/Or Flaw

When this unit has 3 stone-flesh points, you must remove this unit from your Path to Glory roster.

SPEARHEAD
Helforge Host
To the servants of Hashut, war and conquest are matters of calculation. The masters of the ziggurats know to ensure their stockpiles remain full and that nothing is done without the goal of ultimate personal gain. Helforge Hosts embody this martial philosophy: concise but deadly assemblages of force sent to claim a particular resource or punish a chosen enemy.
Helforge Hosts are not led by sorcerers – there are few of these rarefied figures, and when they take to the field, it is for more sinister purposes. Highborn from the royal clans instead command on their behalf, seeking to accrue favour by achieving results no matter the cost. These warlords are accompanied by warriors of their own household, perhaps even their own bloodline, but the true mark of their authority are the daemon engines that growl and rumble at their side. Drawn from the forges of the patron Daemonsmith and animated by their dark magic, these hateful machines can decimate a force that outnumbers them many times over. Such is just as it should be, to properly enshrine the dominion of Hashut and his scions.

6" 10 2+ 2 Dark rumour swirls around the Dominator Engines, those mechanised constructs wrought in the image of almighty Hashut. Within these beasts of iron burns an inferno of tormented daemon-matter, and the malice of those entities leaks from their eyes in hateful waves. The purpose of these engines is to destroy the enemies of the Zharrdron and the Father of Darkness in the most total and extreme fashion possible. In pursuit of these ends, many Dominators have their arms replaced by great Immolation Cannons, barrel-mouthed weapons that spit forth torrents of blazing death across the field. | ||

6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect.| Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
2.0 Spells
The declare step of each spell will tell you to make a casting roll of 2D6. If the roll does not equal or exceed the spell’s casting value (at the top-right corner of the spell), the spell fails and its effect is not resolved.If the unmodified casting roll includes 2 or more rolls of 1, the spell is miscast: the spell fails, its effect is not resolved, D3 mortal damage is inflicted on the WIZARD that used it, and that WIZARD cannot use any more spells in that phase.
Enemy reactions can only be used if the casting roll equals or exceeds the spell’s casting value. So long as the spell is not unbound (see 4.0), then it is successfully cast: resolve its effect.

32.0 Objectives
Many battleplans award victory points for controlling objectives, which are represented by objective markers. Unless otherwise specified, objective markers are round and 40mm wide. Models can move over and end their moves on objective markers. If an objective marker is on the border between territories, it is within all those territories but wholly within none of them. Objective markers don’t block visibility.
32.1 Contesting Objectives
Unless otherwise specified, if an objective is within a model’s combat range, that model is contesting that objective. If any models in a unit are contesting an objective, that unit is contesting that objective.Each unit can only count as contesting a single objective for the purposes of determining objective control (see 32.2). Before determining objective control, for each of their units contesting two or more objectives, the active player must pick one of those objectives for it to contest. Then, their opponent does the same.
Designer’s Note: For purposes other than determining objective control, a unit can contest more than one objective.
7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.

After all those STRIKE-FIRST units have fought, the active player picks the next unit to fight.If there are any STRIKE-LAST units in combat, they cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability if there are any units in combat that do not have STRIKE-LAST and have not yet used a FIGHT ability.
If a unit has STRIKE-FIRST and STRIKE-LAST, treat it as if it had neither.
| There may be situations when a unit that has STRIKE-FIRST is not in combat at the start of the phase, but because of moves such as pile-in moves, it is ‘pulled into combat’ later in the phase. In such cases, STRIKE-FIRST has no effect on that unit because it was not in combat at the start of the phase. Abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST or STRIKE-LAST constraints, so you could not pick a unit with STRIKE-LAST to fight immediately after a unit with STRIKE-FIRST. | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Combat attacks
Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.16.0 Picking Targets
When declaring an ATTACK ability for a unit, you must pick the target unit(s) for its attacks. The number of attacks each model can make is equal to the Attacks characteristic of the weapons it is using. In most cases, models attack with every weapon on their warscroll (melee weapons for combat attacks, ranged weapons for shooting attacks), though some warscrolls specify that certain models in the unit are armed with special weapons or that the unit must pick between multiple weapons when it attacks.If the unit is in combat, it can only target units that are in combat with it. If a model has more than one attack, you can split the attacks between eligible targets as you wish.
- Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.
- Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).
| Your Shooting Phase |
SHOOT: The warriors take aim and unleash a deadly volley.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn to use this ability. Then, pick one or more enemy units as the target(s) of that unit’s attacks (see 16.0).
Effect: Resolve shooting attacks against the target unit(s).

4.1 Enhancements
Each set of faction rules include a number of enhancements that can be given to units, e.g. heroic traits and artefacts of power. You can take 1 enhancement from each enhancement table in your faction rules. Each enhancement table lists which units are eligible to be given that enhancement. UNIQUE units cannot be given enhancements.While some abilities allow you to take extra enhancements, the same unit can never have more than 1 enhancement of the same type, and you can never include the same enhancement in your army more than once. Enhancements cannot be given to Regiment of Renown units unless they have a keyword that matches that faction’s name.

Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).Obscuring
While every model in a non-MONSTER non‐WAR MACHINE unit that does not have the FLY keyword is within 1" of this terrain feature, the following apply:- That unit is only visible to enemy units that are within its combat range.
- The Range characteristic of that unit’s ranged weapons is halved (rounding down to the nearest inch).
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.32.2 Objective Control
In the deployment phase after all Deployment Phase abilities have been used and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
3.2 The General
You must pick 1 HERO in your army that is leading a regiment to be your general. If any units in your army have the WARMASTER keyword, you must pick one of those units to be your general. Your general’s regiment can include up to 4 non-HERO units in addition to your general.
The non-HOBGROT HELSMITHS OF HASHUT and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following Helsmiths of Hashut warscrolls:
The non-HERO HELSMITHS OF HASHUT and WAR MACHINE keywords are used in the following Helsmiths of Hashut warscrolls:
3.5 Regiments of Renown
In addition to creating your own regiments, you can also spend points to include 1 Regiment of Renown. Regiments of Renown are pre-built regiments, each with their own special abilities. The rules for each Regiment of Renown will specify which factions can include it. A unit in a Regiment of Renown cannot be your general even if it is a WARMASTER.- You cannot include more than one Regiment of Renown in your army unless otherwise specified in the notes column of that regiment’s battle profile.
- Units in a Regiment of Renown cannot use (but can be picked as the target of, if otherwise eligible) any faction rules from the faction they are allied into, including enhancements and lores.
- If an ability allows you to set up a replacement unit (Core Rules, 24.2) for a unit in a Regiment of Renown, that unit also counts as being part of that Regiment of Renown.
Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.1.1 Power Level
Each WIZARD and PRIEST has a power level shown after the keyword, e.g. WIZARD (2). A WIZARD’s casting power level determines how many Spell abilities they can use per phase. A PRIEST’s chanting power level determines how many PRAYER abilities they can use per phase.MULTIPLE POWER LEVELS
- If an ability references a unit’s power level and that unit has more than one power level, use whichever power level is higher.
- If an ability modifies a unit’s power level and that unit has more than one power level, it modifies both.

24.2 Replacement Units
Some abilities allow you to set up a replacement unit. When setting up that unit, it should have the same warscroll type, weapon options and number of models as the original unit, unless otherwise specified in the ability. Many of these abilities specify the proportion of models in the replacement unit (e.g. half the number of models from the original unit). In these cases, you can pick which models from the original unit are set up.The replacement unit is otherwise treated as a new unit; any keywords or abilities the original unit gained during the battle, and any persisting effects that applied to it, do not apply to the replacement unit. Each unit can only be replaced once, and you cannot replace replacement units.
If the original unit was reinforced and the replacement unit has more than half the number of models from the original unit, the replacement unit is considered to be reinforced.
| Because a replacement unit is treated as a completely new unit, it could, for instance, use a Once Per Battle ability on its warscroll even if the unit it replaced used that ability earlier in the battle. | ||

Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.13.1 Fight Abilities
Abilities with the FIGHT keyword follow a different sequence to other abilities. When the players are using Combat Phase
abilities as described in 13.0, they cannot use FIGHT abilities.After the players have finished using
Combat Phase
abilities that are not FIGHT abilities, they must alternate picking 1 eligible unit to use a FIGHT ability, starting with the active player. Each unit in combat must use a FIGHT ability if it is able to.Once a player has no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, the other player continues to pick units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, one after another, until there are no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability.

This HERO can join an eligible regiment as a ZIGGURAT STAMPEDE WIZARD.

1.5 Faction Terrain
Some factions have special terrain features called faction terrain features. Faction terrain features have their own warscrolls. They are not considered to be units, with the following exceptions:- In the combat phase, they are treated as if they were units for the purposes of movement, combat range and being in combat. Units can finish a charge move within ½" of an enemy faction terrain feature as if it were a unit.
- They are affected by all enemy abilities as if they were units.
- They can be damaged in the same manner as units. However, when they are removed from play, they count as being demolished instead of slain or destroyed (this means that they do not count as destroyed units for the purposes of abilities, scoring battle tactics etc.).
- Faction terrain features cannot contest objectives even while they are garrisoned.
- If a terrain feature has any melee or ranged weapons, it can use the ‘Fight’ and ‘Shoot’ CORE abilities as if it were a unit.
- Terrain features that have a Move characteristic of 0" (‘-’) cannot move (note that pile-in moves are a type of move).
- Faction terrain features with a Move characteristic greater than ‘-’ are treated as if they were units in all phases for the purposes of movement, combat range, being in combat and setting up terrain features, other manifestations and other units.
Some faction terrain features allow you to place a unit on them (this will be clearly specified in that terrain feature’s rules). When doing so, instead of measuring range or visibility to and from the unit that is on that terrain feature, measure to and from the terrain feature instead. Unless otherwise specified, units on a faction terrain feature cannot use FIGHT abilities.
If a unit placed on a terrain feature is removed from it (e.g. if an ability removes them from the battlefield), that unit counts as having left that terrain feature and loses any special role or benefits it had as a result of being placed on it.
| The Citadel Terrain List shows the number of scenery pieces each terrain feature can consist of. If you are using terrain features that are not included on that list, agree with your opponent before setting up the battlefield how many scenery pieces make up each terrain feature. | ||

1.1 Power Level
Each WIZARD and PRIEST has a power level, shown in brackets after the keyword, e.g. WIZARD (2). A WIZARD or PRIEST’s power level determines the number of SPELL, PRAYER or BANISH abilities they can use per phase, in any combination. For example, a WIZARD (2) unit could use 1 SPELL and 1 BANISH ability in their commander’s hero phase.
1.0 Wizards and Priests
WIZARDS are special units that can cast spells, and PRIESTS are special units that can chant prayers. Spells and prayers are powerful abilities that can have a dramatic impact on the battle.

The HERO and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following Helsmiths of Hashut warscrolls:
18.2 Allocating Damage
After resolving the effect of any ability that inflicts damage points (whether via attacks, mortal damage or both), you must allocate the damage points.When allocating damage points to a unit, the damage points in its damage pool are allocated to it one at a time. Each time the number of damage points allocated to the unit equals the Health characteristic of that unit, 1 model in that unit is slain (and removed from play) and the number of damage points allocated to that unit is reset to 0. Keep allocating damage points until there are none left in the damage pool.
If the number of damage points allocated to a unit is not enough to slay a model, keep track of the number of damage points currently allocated to the unit (most players place a dice or markers next to the unit). While a unit has any damage points allocated to it, it is damaged.
23.0 Tokens
Tokens are not considered to be models for rules purposes and can be ignored or moved out of the way for purposes of visibility, coherency or abilities. They cannot be picked as the target of abilities. Their purpose is to indicate persisting effects on units they are placed next to. Each time a unit with a token finishes a move or is set up, place the token next to the unit.
18.3 Slain Models
The commander of a unit must pick which model(s) in the unit are slain. However, after each slain model is removed, the unit must be in a single coherent group (see 15.1). If this is not possible, continue to remove models, one at a time, until the unit is in a single coherent group. You must remove the fewest models possible to make the unit a single coherent group.
