With the booming thunder of their deep drums, the Helsmiths of Hashut stormed into the Mortal Realms a few weeks ago with their army set. Now the second wave with the remaining kits follows in their wake. In part one of our review, we’ll take a closer look at the Uruk Taar on Infernal Taurus, the Bull Centaurs / Anointed Sentinels, and the Daemonsmith / Ashen Elder kits.
