I got caught up in the HYPE and decided I NEEDED a Helsmiths of Hashut army and so I pre-ordered the Launch Box/Army Set with my FLGS before it was even available for pre-order!
PAINTED
The Entire Force, so far... (yeah... just the one guy... but hopefully that will change soon!!)
Heroes
War Despot
Units
STILL TO DO
This is what I have still to do:
- 1x Dominator Engine with Immolation Cannons
- 1x Tormentor Bombard
- 11x Infernal Cohort miniatures
- 10x Hobgrotz (from Orruk Warclans!)
THE PLAN
As with all of these forces, the first priority was to finish up the Spearhead army - which was included in the Launch Box/Army Set.
After that...? If I was having fun playing with the army in Spearhead, I thought I'd pick up am individual Hero or Unit that looked fun, assemble and paint them... then pick up another individual Hero or Unit, so that there is never more than one unit or hero unpainted...
At SOME point, it might be worth it to pick up a second Spearhead - because getting a second of all those units would be handy if I ever wanted to build the army up to a full 2000 point force!
Spearhead
This spearhead consists of:
- 1x War Despot (General)
- 1x Dominator Engine with Immolation Cannons
- 1x Tormentor Bombard
- 11x Infernal Cohort miniatures
Path to Glory
If I were to build this force up to a 1000 point Paths to Glory army, I might do one of two things...
The first option has a Daemonsmith on Infernal Taurus which looks like a lot of fun... The second option the Daemonsmith is on foot.. but uses the Hobgrotz I have and gives me some cavalry...

STUFF TO GET
Anything I might need for any of these planned options I will need to get... as mentioned, however, I plan to build this force slowly! But ONE Hero or Unit and assembled and paint it before buying the next!
The one exception to this, is that, at some point, I might buy a second Spearhead force, as all of the units in that set would be very useful to have a second one of - built as the OTHER option that each of the units could have been built as...
Where will I start...? Probably with a Deamonsmith (on foot) I like that model...
