Helsmiths of Hashut – The Curse-Steel Battery
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
The Curse-Steel Battery
Many Daemonsmiths detest walking the muck of the realms, leaving underlings to handle direct trade. Yet Gurok the Leveller prefers the personal touch, as he believes only his magics can coax out the full devastating potential of his glorious engines. Even the dreaded Korghos Khul once sought the service of Gurok’s artillery, for it can break an enemy army’s spine in moments. Of course, Gurok is no fool. Once his weapons’ power has been aptly demonstrated, negotiations can begin in earnest… | ||

 Once Per Turn (Army), Your Shooting Phase | 1 |
DISPLAY OF TOTAL POWER: The first salvo from Gurok’s engines comes free of charge. Should clients show a taste for such power, subsequent bombardments demand a price…
Declare: If neither WAR MACHINE unit in this Regiment of Renown used any SHOOT abilities this turn, pick an enemy unit to be the target.
Effect: For the rest of the turn:
The first time you use this ability, you can use it without any command points being spent.
Effect: For the rest of the turn:
- While that enemy unit is on the battlefield, the WAR MACHINE units in this Regiment of Renown can only pick that enemy unit to be the target of their shooting attacks.
- Each of those WAR MACHINE units counts as if it had 3 daemonic power points.
The first time you use this ability, you can use it without any command points being spent.
Shooting attacks
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).The HELSMITHS OF HASHUT keyword is used in the following Helsmiths of Hashut warscrolls:
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.
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. | ||
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.

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.
