The Ash Waste Nomads have a strange affinity for the creatures of the wasteland.{{Fn|8h}} Most well-known is probably their use the [[Dustback Helamite]]s that they have somehow managed to tame and now ride into battle,{{Fn|8c}} but they also are known to use [[Arthromite Duneskuttler]]s,{{Fn|8h}} and macro-[[grapplehawk]].{{Fn|10}} That they have managed not to only tame Helamites, but ride them into battle, marks the nomads even more so as abominations in the eyes of the hivers, for what race of people could be kin to such despicable beasts born of the toxic deserts and chem-rich soil?{{Fn|8c}}

The Ash Waste Nomads measure the [[Helmawr|Imperial House]]’s power in a very practical sense: if a person standing out in the waste can see the distant, cloud-wreathed lights of a hive's uppermost spire, they are under the gaze of Lord Helmawr.
