War Despots are the lords of a ziggurat’s royal clans, and its commanders in times of war. Swollen by dark power and clad in imposing armour, they see their thrall hosts as extensions of their conquering ambition. Underlings are driven on relentlessly – expected to triumph or perish – while a Despot’s rivals fall beneath weapons acquired at a terrible price, and empowered by the most dangerous daemonic essences.

This multipart plastic kit builds a War Despot, a warrior noble for your Helsmiths of Hashut armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. They are armed with a Daemonflame Glaive – a brutal weapon powered by a trapped daemon – and wear ornate armour covered in runes and gems. These cruel overlords make ideal leaders for Hashutite troops, inspiring nearby warriors to fight harder while also getting stuck in themselves.
