Giving us the rules and lore we all need is the Chaos Battletome: Helsmiths of Hashut which comes in Ashen Hooves Gamer's Edition and Vengeful Anvils Standard Edition. There's also a big selection of minis, including the miniatures from the former Army Box plus what seems like the rest of the range as well. Leading off the charge is the War Despot, a powerful leader who seems to carry all the rage that the Helsmiths embody - a pretty big achievement in such a small miniature! The other single leader model is the Daemonsmith/Ashen Elder combi-kit, which really does make two miniature that are so different! This set also gives you some lovely bitz to add to your bitz box. The big model in this range is the Urak Taar the First Daemonsmith/ Daemonsmith on Infernal Taurus combi-kit - and it's stunning - a huge winged bull with three character options, again, all very different and incredibly thematic! Pain in the butt to paint, but a gorgeous kit. A standout favourite is the Bull Centaurs/Annointed Sentinels combi-kit. How would you choose? Both amazing, both dynamic and just awesome. These embody the whole Helsmiths of Hashut vibe and are just fantastic. In terms of infantry models we have the Infernal Razers (which can be armed with Grizmalok Blunderbusses or Karagthrun Flamehurlers), the the Infernal Cohort core unit (with either blades or spears), and the much-maligned Hobgrot Vandalz, infantry fodder but still very cool minis and a huge improvement on the awful Hobgrots we got with the Age of $igmar Swamp Orcs a few years ago. In terms of heavy hitters we have the Dominator Engine (which comes with either melee or ranged weapons) and the Deathshrieker Rocket Battery/Tormentor Bombard combi-kit, which gives your Helsmiths much needed firepower. There's also the Helsmiths of Hashut Dice, but no amry cards this week, so ideally they will be soon.
++ Please note that the Infernal Razers, Hobgrot Vandalz, and Infernal Cohort will not be up for pre-order in Australia and New Zealand this weekend ++
