I've got to agreewith Xander, I always pictured Hashut as looking somewhat like the Doombull. That's why my GT is a converted Doombull model.

I either picture him as an actual Bull, like the Great Taurus, possibly with wings, but certainly surrounded by shadow and flame (in the same way as the LotR Balrog I'd say). Although this puts him in quite a bestial light, I always thought of the Great Taurii as Greater Daemons of Hashut anyway, and so would be modelled upon him.

Alternatively, I can also see him as being slightly more humanoid, keeping the general bull figure, but with humanoid arms and hands, standing upright. The only problem here I have is that he seems to me to be a bit too like the Bloodthirster (and therefore too much like Khorne?)

I think he looks like a huge bloodthirster, only black and sort of transparent. Something like the bloodthirster from Forge World.

From what I've read (and I'm far from expert on the subject), Hashut has always seemed pretty much like the Balrog, although perhaps slightly more bullish. If you look at the fluff for him being bound underground it is pretty clear where the idea came from.

Anyway, why ask when we have a perfectly good representation of our dark father right here --><--?

like some other people i can sum it up in one word, Balrog.
in particular i always thought that some of the Blarog discriptions in the silmarillion sounded very Hashut-ish

I imagined Hashut looking something like the giant, armoured minotaur from God of War, but not so mechanical. Think of a one of the giant Heartless and the Minotaur combined... I'll work on a sketch.

Id say he was something liek that yes. But with no Khorne symbols or anything. Problem with this theory is that all Daemons are esentially just extensions of the gods will. Which means that they dont have any free will. So for him to be a renegade bloodthirster he would have to have a mind of his own which isnt possible. It is more likely that he, in the style of Be'lakkor, was a very mighty Daemon Prince of Khorne that has gone renegade.

I see him as a massive, bad-ass minotaur. With armour. Actually, very Khorne like.

I didnt propose for him to actually be that, but I stated this as a possebility for those out there that DO think that Hashut is a renegade Daemon of some kind. I never stated that this was what I myself thought. I agree with you that he is more likely a God in his own right.

But virtually all other Chaos Gods have been described and that didnt take away anything.

This is official stuff.

Hashut forgives you

- Tallhat

I hope you dont mean elven and human gods as well. And yes of course the GODS have their own free will but one of the theories that was flowing around on the site was that Hashut was a renegade Bloodthirster which isnt possible since they are mere extensions of the God itself.

- Tallhat

Hahahaha!! That is brilliant

- Tallhat

So what you are saying is that Sigmar is in fact an aspect of Chaos? I find that very hard to believe.

- Tallhat

I cannot seem to find what it is on p. 3 that supports what you say.

- Tallhat

Oooooh!! Have you made a model like that??? If so, post post away!!

- Tallhat

Try telling the guy being burned by Imperial Witch Hunters that! Im not sure he agrees.

- Tallhat

Refer to the old Rogue Trader book and youll get a good glimpse of what the Old Ones really are Certainly not gods.

- Tallhat

Always kind of thought Hashut would look something like a huge two-legged Balrog with wings, but with a Lammasu style head and beard.
