HELBRUTE Datasheet

The HELBRUTE Datasheet is your essential guide to fielding these twisted war machines on the tabletop battlefield. It contains all the vital statistics and special rules you need to understand and effectively deploy a Helbrute in your Warhammer 40,000 games. Mastering the HELBRUTE Datasheet is key to maximizing its destructive potential.

Understanding Your HELBRUTE Datasheet

The HELBRUTE Datasheet is more than just a stat block; it’s a comprehensive profile of your Helbrute’s capabilities. It outlines everything from its movement speed and weapon skill to its toughness and number of wounds. Understanding each element of the datasheet is crucial for strategic deployment and effective combat. Here are a few things you will find in the datasheet:

  • Movement (M): How far the Helbrute can move in inches during the Movement phase.
  • Weapon Skill (WS): Determines the Helbrute’s accuracy in melee combat.
  • Ballistic Skill (BS): Determines the Helbrute’s accuracy when shooting.
  • Strength (S): Used when determining damage in melee combat.
  • Toughness (T): How resistant the Helbrute is to damage.
  • Wounds (W): Represents the Helbrute’s health; when it reaches zero, it is destroyed.
  • Attacks (A): The number of attacks the Helbrute can make in melee combat.
  • Leadership (Ld): Used for morale tests.
  • Save (Sv): The armor save the Helbrute gets to attempt when attacked.

Beyond the basic stats, the datasheet also details the Helbrute’s wargear and special abilities. This includes the weapons it is equipped with, along with their range, strength, armor penetration (AP), and damage characteristics. Special abilities, such as “Frenzy” or faction-specific traits, can significantly alter the Helbrute’s behavior and effectiveness on the battlefield. They also typically describe the abilities and keywords that can be used for stratagems.

The datasheet is used during every phase of the game. From determining movement distances to resolving attacks in both shooting and melee, you’ll constantly refer to it. It is also used to determine what stratagems and psychic powers can be used on the Helbrute. It’s your definitive source of truth for all things Helbrute-related. Here is a simple example of a weapon profile you might find:

Weapon Range Type Strength AP Damage Abilities
