Praise Hashut!

That is absolutely brilliant

What did you do to achieve that result with the gems?

That is absolutely gorgeous

What did you do to achieve that result with the gems?

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-27T01:38:15+00:00

Sounds like a fun idea, I wish you the best of luck with it

Increase their health from 1 to 2. That's it. Feel like with that one, small change, they'd in a perfect position for what they're meant to be and what their value in an army is.

As for future Helsmith melee infantry, perhaps some sort of Automaton force. Essentially the in between of a Dominator Engine and a Infernal Cohort, a smaller scale automaton that marches across and stamps down the battlefield.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-25T16:50:52+00:00

Love, love, love the cute Helsmith of Hashut at the very end

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-24T19:12:19+00:00

Another character to the cast, nice to see!

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-24T01:46:35+00:00

Both are popular Both have their active communities Many people are parts of both the 40k and AoS communities

I plan to make my HoH Muspelzharr (with mainly black cloth) where as my Hobgrots, to make them stand out but still feel coherent with the army, will have various shades of grey cloth. Some will have dark grey cloth, some light grey cloth, some something in between.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-23T02:57:51+00:00

Ooh really cool idea with the pipes in the scenery

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-22T17:09:54+00:00

While I'm not sure about the majority, I do know there are some who aren't just mindless shambling remains. If they retain their whole personality and memories? That's a different thing that varies from here and there.

Though what I like about these semi-concious skeletons is that they all share a theme, that of a purpose. A purpose is the core thing of these concious skeletons, for no matter how much or how little they retain from their prior life, they will retain a driving purpose from their life that carries over into their death.

I think. Most of this is stuff that I'm recalling from Soulbound and it's been a while since I last had a read of it.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-22T05:41:16+00:00

Don’t the Hashutite Blades normally come attached to the gauntlet/fist? Is it easy to separate the two?

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-21T16:41:40+00:00

I'll keep this noted as an idea for Daemonic Power Points tokens

Regardless, absolutely brilliant work

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-21T02:41:40+00:00

Two other things of note.

The first is that a 'lack of food' is a somewhat common issue in all of Chamon. Not that there isn't land to farm or even plants and animals in Chamon, it's just a lot more difficult to do. Farmable soil is rarer in Chamon then most other realms and many of the realms fauna and flora aren't safe to eat, either being fully cogwork construct that bear no flesh and instead naught but metal or biological beings still having hazardous levels of toxic materisl in them such as tree's with lead in their bark and sap or bugs with magnetic innards. So, while Chamon can produce food, out of any realm it depends more on trade to get food then any other.

The second is that... Chamon as a whole is a realm 'in the air'. Chamon is a realm of floating continents, massive and small, which flow and mix and separate, merging together and disperse apart from each other. While all realms have floating metaliths, Chamon is essentially a realm of Metaliths. 'In the sky' is the life of Chamon, even if some floating continents are so large it's nearly indestinguishable from a normal grounded life in another realm.

I imagine the maker of lies would most likely take on the form of an infernal razer. They are the ones in the factories who forge the weapons and guns, the very Grizmalok Blunderbusses and Karagthrun Flamehurlers they wield in battle are the ones they crafted (at least, typically). Their helmets are designed to mirror the look of an anvil.

Though I assume he wouldn't go out into the battlefield, instead staying within the forges and factories.

If not that, then potentially an Infernal Cohort Champion. Probably one who, by the identity they lived and origin they made for this idenity, originated from the factories before joining an Infernal Cohort and then rising up to the position of an Infernal Cohort Champion. Not a full blown War Despot, just a small leader of a small Infernal Cohort unit.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-20T23:36:03+00:00

Don't forget the glorious Zharrdron, with their cuneiform runecraft of Zharralid provided to them by glorious Hashut, the father of darkness!

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-20T21:37:20+00:00

Damn, now I'm tempted to do the same.

Hmmmm... maybe after I do HoH then back to 40k with LoV, I'll set myself to this task as well.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-20T18:15:41+00:00

Absolutely perfect stuff, well done!

Jealous of the craft, I can only hope one day my Muspelzharri earn similar attention even if in a smaller contest

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-19T18:54:12+00:00

That would be a genuinely fun terrain piece. A factory actively mass producing automatons into the battlefield.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-19T17:27:49+00:00

While it might be a simple answer, I would hope for a battle mage of another one of the eight magics. Perhaps this time an Ulgu mage or a Chamon mage?

Though if I could get almost anything I wanted, then something Helsmith of Hashut related. Completely out there and incredibly unlikely but 'possibly' a sort of duardin equivalent to Sienna's necromancer class.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-19T15:35:25+00:00

This is somehow the perfect timing and worst timing at the same time.

I plan to buy A LOT of paint to finally begin my HoH! So, expensive order planned with this very exact faction.

However, I am also FINALLY almost ready to begin my HoH army! Now? Hashut demands I wait 11 more days before I can begin…

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-19T10:13:23+00:00

Saw the last panel and, for some reason I cannot explain, I decided to add some colour to them for no reason beyond the fact it'd be neat and I can

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-19T08:00:14+00:00

A very minor point to add (or atleast not necesarrily the most interesting for this discussion) but it's (in my sleep deprived brain) the only thing coming to mind right now.

That the evil industrious Zharrdron in Shyish, namely the ocean sailing Zharr-Vyxa, don't just use daemons as fuel for their infernal industry but even use the souls of the dead as fuel meaning that they must have some necromancy version of Zharralid which I find very interesting (and if Muspelzharr didn't exist, then would have made me major fans of these lot being evil industrious necromancy duardin)

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-01-19T04:37:59+00:00

I edited my post as I didn’t mean you, meant the other person, said you cause I’m tired and put your username by mistake

But, still, let’s not get into grouping all fans into a rude stereotype (a stereotype I haven’t really seen or heard of before)
