The War Despot is exactly the kind of cruel, bitter noble who claws his way to the top of a Helsmiths of Hashut army — and stays there by being the hardest thing on the field. Clad in ornate, rune-covered armour and wielding the Daemonflame Glaive, a wicked weapon powered by a trapped daemon, he leads from the front and keeps his warriors in line through sheer menace.
What's in the box
1 monopose plastic War Despot — 6 components in total
1 × Citadel 32mm round base
Fixed pose armed with the Daemonflame Glaive; no build options or spare bitz
On the battlefield
Wields the Daemonflame Glaive, a brutal daemon-bound weapon
A leader model that fires up nearby Hashutite troops while getting stuck in himself
With just six parts to assemble, he's a lovely quick-build project — all the character of a centrepiece hero without the multi-part faff, and every rune and gem on that armour is crying out for careful brushwork.
