My best Friend startet a Space Marine Army Last year and is a beginner Painter who is more into playing Games than Painting and he is very Slow. I want to Show him AoS. For Christmas and his Birthday in January i want to gift him a AoS Spearhead Box that i paint for him, because i am the better painter of us. He is interested in Stormcasts and Chaos and Death. I thought Stormcasts or Slaves to Darkness could be a good Starting Point, because they are easier to Paint for him. What do you think weich Armies are a good Starting Point, that are Fun to Play, easy to paint?

Hey, Warhammer Community out there. Does anybody of you know a good centerpiece for my Age of Sigmar Sormcast Eternals Army? As an starting Player I have a problem deciding a good one. It shouldn't cost more than 35-40 $ and it also don't have to be the most powerful one. I will be happy with even a tiny (in power, not in size) model. PS: Does anybody know an good range attack team not more expensive than 20-35 $?

Hey, I haven't play Ogor yet but I do like their models, especially the Ironblaster.

Which Hero should I play with them ? Any synergy ?

Any hero trait or artefact I should priotise if I wanna play 3 of them ?

Any décent list with 3-4 of them ?

Thanks for your help !

I know there are some really cool witch hunter models out there, but are there any actual witches in AOS beyond the daughters of khaine? And with them being an order faction who in fact should the hunters actually be hunting. Or are they in fact about as useful as the witch hunters in Good Omens, paid well with nothing to do?

Come across this guys while gaming can anyone recommend how to tackle this beast ? It seems to have alot of buffs and resistances

Does anyone know where I might be able to find custom witch hunter hat heads for my sos minis?

What does everyone think about this game mode? Personally, I am loving it! I’m a small warband games player like Warcry, Killzone, etc. I don’t like big armies and having to collect 100s of miniatures. It’s big enough to get several units and a fast of each army and their themes. I also like that it’s a cheap way into an army. If I want several armies, it’s just one box to change things up, which is also what I love about games like Killzone and Warcry. If I want to try another army, I just grab another box. I also love that it can be played on board 30x22. I can basically play on my Warzone board and use that terrain if needed. What’s everyone’s thoughts on Spearhead and do you think it’s here to stay?

Really interested in starting to play but I’m absolutely overwhelmed from the jump. I thought I’d like to play orks but I’ve read they’re really weak. But I really don’t even know if that matters to me?

How do I play this game? Local shop says they have armies and play spearhead. I think I’d really like building a full size army with models I like.

Hello people.

I just want to make a post on how much I and my friends fell in love with this gamemode. I always loved smaller scale battles, but not singular model unit ones like warcry or killteam.

I really liked the idea of Combat Patrol when it was announced, but it came to a great dissapointment. It felt like an afterthought, a demo, the sugar free version of 40k. Datasheets with just less rules, lack of variety to choose from army traits, missions, the games between the same armies played out the exact same.

After burning out from 40k (10th edition got really old and stale for all of us), some of us moved on to AOS, and we really love 4th edition. We had problems commiting the rest of the group to invest to another moneysink game. So we tried Spearhead to start smaller with people who not yet commited to AOS and we were blown away. Even my girlfriend who was always terrified of the length and complexity of 40k and AOS tried it, got the hang of it very quickly and fell in love with the game. Just a list of what makes this gamemode special and work really well in my oppinion.

• The armies feel like a well thought out tweaked version of the main game ones, not just an afterthought. Many datasheet abilities are actually changed, not just cut down, to fit the smaller scale of the game. It’s really cool to be able to choose meaningful regiment abilities and enchantments based on which faction you are up against.

• The fact that u can get everything you need by buying the Fire & Jade box is amazing. The rules are free in the app, you get some sufficent cool terrains, a cool double sided mat with preplaced objectives so you don’t have to measure anything, the games takes basically no time to set up. The ease of access is insane. Also the spearhead book is a really pretty hard cover book which is really well made with 2 pages of rules/ spearhead and the core rules you need from the base game to play Spearhead. It’s a shame its only available via the Skaventide box.

• Oh my god the card system. Twist cards make the games unique, excitingly unpredictable, and the underdog bonuses have a really nice way of keeping the player who is behind motivated. Like “hey you are not out yet, look at this meaningful buff you’ll have to turn the game around.

• The reinforcements ability is a very good idea for lower model count armies to actually work with the game, and not just insta loose if they loose a unit turn one. It helps to keep the motivation, the hope up that you can still win even if you lost some units turn one.

• The battle tactic cards are exciting, allow for a lot of strategy and decision making, and the “do you want to score more points, or take buffs to get ahead strengthwise” command abilites are hands down the best thing they have thought of. It places so much depth and decisionmaking to an otherwise simple game.

• Just a minor thing, but the attacker defender system is the best Ive seen so far, they feel kinda equal. Also the player placed terrain works very well here.

This is the gamemode that encapsulates the recent “simplified but not simple” motto of GW the best, this gamemode is amazingly well made. Sure there are some balance issues, but I never played a game with an army where I felt like I never had the chance to win. Thank you GW for making this, huge kudos to the team that is working on the Spearhead gamemode.

Thinking of maybe swapping the silver for a worn red colour.

Trying a new grim dark style that’s a bit out of my comfort zone, so excuse the slightly shoddy paint job 😂

Ignoring the named characters, is there a generic scary hero that everyone fears?

Hi, Can someone share the size and bases shape comparison between Siphon nexus and the stormreach portal? Could the first one be a good proxy of the faction terrain?

This comes up multiple times per day. The answer is always the same.

People almost universally do not care about not using official models. Almost all tournaments except those ran by GW do not care. GW tournaments are very rare, taking place only in Nottingham at Warhammer world, and a small handful outside of that per year. Some store owners might take an issue, but those are rare, and the reasonable ones will not care if you spend money at their store.

In the vast, vast majority of cases, outside a few rare exceptions, the answer is "yes, it's fine".

Hiya. I am new to Warhammer aos and Warhammer as a whole and I've recently gotten confused over one particular rule. Battle tactics. I have read multiple sources and I am not sure if Battle Tactics are Spearhead specifically or not. If they are for Spearhead, I would want to also know how to score points in Non-Spearhead matches.
