Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light infantry for objectives and “screening” – blocking movement and tying up the enemy. | 20 models in the unit, a mix of looted weapons + shields, optional champions/musicians/standard bearers, a great unit for numerical advantage and board pressure. | Medium (20 models is more work, but painting is fast: basecoat + wash + highlight). | Play them as a “living shield”: spread them wide, block lanes and take objectives. Don’t forget the champion and musician – the bonuses pay off in every game. |
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Helsmiths of Hashut - Hobgrot Vandalz
Hobgrot Vandalz are light infantry of the Helsmiths of Hashut – sneaky “vandals” with shields and looted weapons who can take objectives, block movement and absorb the first enemy удар. Great for complete beginners: you get a large unit that forgives mistakes and teaches you positioning and board control.
What are Hobgrot Vandalz and what do you do with them on the table?
In the box you’ll find 20 plastic light-infantry miniatures – ideal “mass” for taking objectives, screening important units, and annoying your opponent. Thanks to their shields and a mix of weapons (hammers, blades, hooks), they look great and on the battlefield they work as a reliable buffer that buys time for your key models.

Where do Hobgrot Vandalz fit in an army?
Hobgrot Vandalz belong to the Helsmiths of Hashut faction (Grand Alliance: Chaos) and typically fill the role of numerous support: they hold objectives, block movement, protect important heroes/elite units, and force unfavorable fights on the opponent. If you’re building an army and want “something that will always be useful,” this unit is exactly that.
Main benefits (for beginners and veterans)
- A 20-model unit = great objective control and space denial.
- Flexible builds (champion, musicians, standard bearers) + lots of character for hobby work.
- Perfect “screen”: absorbs the first удар and protects your key units.
Who vs who (and what to expect in a game)
- Helsmiths of Hashut (Chaos): dark industrial aesthetics, a hard-hitting core, and dirty tricks – Hobgrots are the ideal “mass” to work the objectives.
- Stormcast Eternals (Order): elite warriors with strong durability – they want to punch through the mid-board and win on quality.
- What to take from it: Hobgrots don’t win by quality, but by quantity – block, take objectives, and don’t let the opponent fight where they want.

Tactics – how to play Hobgrots simply and effectively
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Screening and blocking | Spread the unit wide and build a “wall” that slows charges and cuts off the opponent’s ideal movement. |
| Objective control | A 20-model unit is great for holding objectives – even as you lose models, you still keep the point. |
| Tying up dangerous units | Throw Hobgrots into combat so the opponent’s elite unit can’t go where it really hurts. |
| Support for your core | Hobgrots protect heroes and key units – the opponent must “chew through” the mass first. |
Starting Age of Sigmar? (FAQ for complete beginners)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What do I need to play? | Basics: Core Rules, dice, a tape measure, and an opponent. For the hobby side: clippers, plastic glue, and a few paints. |
| Are the models painted? | No – the miniatures are unassembled and unpainted. That’s the best part of Warhammer: you make them your own. |
| Is this suitable as a first unit? | Yes. You get 20 models, so you’ll learn the basic workflow (build, basecoat, wash) and in-game they help with objectives and screening. |
| How long does it take? | Building is a bigger project (20 models), but painting can be fast: primer + 2–3 colours + wash and you’re ready to play. |
Continuing the game
| What next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Expand the army with a “hard core” | Hobgrots hold objectives – add units that can “kill” and you’ll get a balanced army. |
| Add faction rules | A battletome/faction rules unlock your abilities, synergies, and proper list building. |
Where next? (recommended progression)
| Progression | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More Helsmiths of Hashut units | Add elite/striking units and heroes – Hobgrots then become ideal support and objective holders. |
| Rules and cards | Core Rules + faction rules speed up play and reduce mistakes (everything at hand). |
| Terrain and a gaming mat | More terrain = a better, more fun game. Hobgrots love cover and chokepoints where they can block. |
