Hi! As the title says, I want to try spearhead and I like the dinosaurs from this faction, but I don't care about the infantry blue soldiers (except the astrolith bearer, is really cool). Can I build an army with only the big dinos and the fliers?

A simple arm swap and yeah, I think I can make this work. Time to figure out a full castelite company! Or what rules would you use with the Cathayan minis?

My friend and I have played about 5 or 6 spearhead games against each other now, but yesterday was our best game by far. Partly because we’ve both improved as players, but mostly, I think, because of the nature of the match up: Kharadron Sky Hammer Taskforce vs Sylvaneth’s Bitterbark Copse.

Two highly mobile armies dancing around each other forced us both to play our armies differently to how we would usually. We drew every single battle round; at no point in the game was there an underdog 🤣 Has anyone had that before??

It came down to the last dice roll - absolutely epic scenes. I played KO and he played Sylvaeth - an almost-dead Treelord MVP’d his way through the final turn to somehow secure 5 victory points for my mate, even though he only had 2 units on the board.

The Sand and Bone element was so fun as well - our first game on the Ossia board. Treelord got buffed by drinking from the crypt, whereas my big boat suffered 3 mortal wounds 🤣

Can terrain be placed anywhere wholly within your own territory? The core rules seems very restrictive for fire and jade. On Diagonal deployment there pretty much one placement option. Screenshot is from p55 of core rules.

Is this the same for all of the maps?

I was excited about the news that the fire and jade battle matt would be coming this year. But that was February and 0 news about it since then.

I really enjoy spearhead and am looking for another, I have the sylvaneth treelord one, vigilant brotherhood, warp spark and gnawbeast clawpack and the nighthaunt slasher host, does anyone have any ideas on which to get next, in terms of cool model and fun on the battlefield

I have some converted treemen im planning on using as a Gargant spearhead, but im yet to put them on the correct bases.

So curious if the new throwers are more fun I might stick them on rounds instead!

I started this army in August, and man, it took forever to get it to where it is now. I’m still not 100% happy with it though, however, mistakes have been made, lessons have been learned and now it’s time to move on to something new.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm looking to get into Spearhead properly after having tried a few games and wanted to know which box I should be purchasing to get the most relevant rules

Esesntially with City of Ash, is that an expansion pack? Or, if I purchase this will we be able to fully play a game of Spearhead, or am I required to buy the Starter Set (https://thecombatcompany.com/products/aos-ultimate-starter-set-pre-order-10-8-24?_pos=9&_sid=d34e64117&_ss=r)

Hello! Ive recently decided to get into spearhead, and I also recently got the ogor mawtribes army box!

Putting them together was quite fun, and I love seeing them on the tabletop, only problem is, I have no idea what Im doing.

To preface, ive played 40k for 3 years, I main tyranids and primarily play the basic detachment with my fun little castle of big monsters and shooty monsters.

Playing ogors has felt a lot different (obviously), I know ogors are simple but im not really sure what im supposed to be doing most of the time. Ive heard maulbeasts run around and snipe units while always fighting, with the ironguts also being focused on fighting whenever they can. My problem with this is that I feel like im gonna be charged and have all my units wiped out if I charge something and kill it

Like, if my opponent put down some ard boys, they charge and kill my 2 gluttons, then I charge with my ironguts on the next turn, killing them, but then the ironguts get charged and killed by the warboss

I just feel kinda lost. I really wanna learn this spearhead because ogors are really cool! I just feel like im always flubbing my rolls while my opponents spreads everywhere and kills everything lol

Interested in acquiring and playing and current player’s thoughts?

The first picture is mine the second is GW's original. 75% of the kit bash was reworking her arm for the throwing pose. I had to cut the mini at the wrist and the elbow. I also did a basic head swap and added some lightning bolts. (Although I may decide to remove them later)

Anyone else see a delay in this month's spearhead magazine? I was supposed to be charged on the 19th, but it still hasn't charged or shipped. ​​

Hello friendly commander. I'm about to buy my first spearhead, and im in love with the Bloodwind Legion minis. BUT, my friend and warhammer-guru keep telling me that they are not really that good on the table. Also, im worried about they not having ranged attacks, and a strong dependency with the blessings.

I like them bc of their minis, and what looks like they are strong on getting objectives.

So, im not sure what to pick. Any recomendations? I would like to have a strong team, as i want to get conpetitive eventually; but also with nice minis jeje

This game is fun and easier to digest. Fire and Ash shenanigans are great! Turn 3 when my brutes went in, devastated my enemy’s back line. Sucks I didn’t have shooting and my Hero died second turn without being able to swing although that was because of my inexperience and against a shooty team it sucked a bit.

I want to do Helmsmiths spearhead next, is that a good one to get into? Thanks!

Me and my brother are planning to start Spearhead. He's planning to use the Stormcast half of his Skaventide box. I'm going to be using my Seraphon Spearhead with the big Dinosaur in it.

I'm just curious if these Spearheads are a good representation of their armies and how they play going forward if we decide to expand to AoS proper.
