The dark omens have finally come to pass—whispers in the shadow, strange relics, and ominous signs heralding their return. Now, the Helsmiths of Hashut march from their ziggurats with one goal: absolute domination. This week, Games Workshop delivers not just their long-awaited arrival, but also two new Spearhead forces and a hard-hitting Necromunda expansion.
Helsmiths of Hashut Army Set
The Mortal Realms tremble as the followers of the Bullfather emerge. With daemon-binding sorcery and fire-belching war engines, these duardin are a force built on cruelty, industry, and conquest.
Inside the set, you’ll find 14 brand-new miniatures that form the Helforge Host Spearhead:
-
A War Despot, master of the ziggurat clans
-
10 Infernal Cohort armed with Hashutite spears and led by a hobgrot gong carrier
-
The Dominator Engine, a walking idol of Hashut that spews chaotic flame
-
The Tormentor Bombard, lobbing ruinous shells across the battlefield
The box also includes a special edition Battletome with full-art cover and gold foil, 32 warscroll cards, and a transfer sheet with over 450 designs to mark your new legion.
This release is a landmark moment—the first time we see a fully realized force of Helsmiths brought to Age of Sigmar as a Spearhead-ready army.
Spearhead Expansions
Two more factions are joining the Spearhead format:
-
Deathrattle Tomb Host – An undead legion led by a venerable Wight King, supported by skeleton warriors, elite Barrow Guard, and bone-rattling cavalry.
-
Snarlpack Huntaz – Fast-moving gitmob raiders, their Snarlboss leading wolf-riding cavalry and rickety Sunsteala contraptions into battle.
Both provide compact, playable forces right out of the box—perfect for diving straight into the game.
Necromunda: Bastions of Law
While the Mortal Realms burn, Necromunda drowns in crime. The new supplement Bastions of Law puts the spotlight on the Palanite Enforcers, Hive Primus’ answer to unchecked gang violence.
This 128-page book brings expanded lore, updated patrol rules, new Wargear, Enforcer Prefectures, and two fresh scenarios. It’s the definitive guide for anyone looking to bring law and order (through a very heavy boot) to Necromunda.
Supporting releases include:
-
Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants – 8 veteran miniatures plus transfer sheet.
-
Palanite Enforcer Weapons & Upgrades – A kit brimming with heads, arms, and gear to customize your patrol.
-
Ashwing Helamites – Giant flying insects domesticated by the Ash Waste Nomads, complete with handler options.
-
Bastions of Law Dice & Tactics Cards – Essential accessories to round out your Enforcer campaigns.
Final Thoughts
This week marks one of the most significant drops we’ve seen in a while. The Helsmiths of Hashut Army Set is the crown jewel, bringing a brand-new force into Age of Sigmar with a complete Spearhead right out of the gate. The Deathrattle and Snarlpack boxes expand the Spearhead format in exciting ways, and Necromunda players are spoiled with a supplement and kits that breathe new life into Palanite patrols.
For collectors, gamers, and lore enthusiasts alike, this is one of those weeks where the Mortal Realms and the Underhive both shift in big ways.
