I also love dwarves. I would so get the Dweghorn taster from Para Bellum. the guys who do Last Arguement of Kings if you are unfamiliar with them. For sci-fi the dwarves would be the Immari from Ravaged Star
honestly those small games are a breath of fresh air compared to the usual 2k 40k games ( that I still love, but there is something cozy about small games ) ! keep it up !
Great game. And I absolute adore, adore, how they've implemented Yndrasta into Spearhead. By allowing Yndrasta to come in halfway through the game, it both allows her to really feel like the epic force of destruction that she is while also forcing her player to really make smart decisions in order to survive until then. Even better, it even works in the fluff as she just strikes out of nowhere in the stories as well. By the way, really recommend her AoS book as it is by far one of the best character studies I've come across yet in that setting.
Yes, I have this Spearhead painted up, and I've been listening to the Yndrasta audio book, and it's so perfect. Can't wait to get the new box and try it!
@@wiictvchannel1112 Spearhead is pretty high lethality, so her arrival is usually more of a respite for your beleaguered force than a win-more mechanic.
Nice batrep, love it! We want more AoS. Just fyi: the cards are hidden knowledge, you don't show them unless you use them. And after you charge you can do a pile in move even if you are not in combat anymore (not sure if it was not done willingly)
@@steliosvagianos8445 I think it just changes the dinamic of the turn too much. It's a pretty big deal when your enemy knows what you wanna achieve that turn and all the possible commands you can do. (Oh you got that counter charge card? Imma be extra careful, etc) I think best is show them when you use the command and when you score at the end of the turn.
This is the second AoS video I’ve watched and I love how you guys are taking the time to not only keep the passing of combat but slowing things down at the same time to see all the technicalities. It’s definitely helping me understand AoS as I try to start coming from 40K. Play on and Steven are amazing love watching your videos!!!
I’m just a 40K player and I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about more AoS content from all the big battle report channels, but I’ve been LOVING IT
You don't actually technically tell your opponent what cards you have. You can, but the game is intended to play without knowing what your opponent has
I really enjoy watching you playing and most important having fun on other games as well. And your battle-ready miniatures are really on point and show that we don't always need competition winning paint on the table to have fun ! Great work team !
Thanks for these, have loved the collaboration between yourselves and vanguard over these videos and would love to see more Spearhead games in 40 minutes, really like the concept as a casual player with a boatload of combat patrols I can see that this is a step up and a better game system from CP and would love you guys to keep playing on with it!
Awesome Battle Report! Love how the Seraphon play 🦖 also Yndrasta coming on later turns was very epic, I wasn’t sure before about coming only on half of the game, but after this game it makes sense 😅
The player playing Seraphon called SCE a space marine analogy. Seraphon, the faction that lives in space, with space ships, the artificially crafted species to the genetic level created specifically for war by a higher power, who also lack real free will, and are indoctrinated to hate chaos.
this is almost completely wrong lol. Lets add more context next time. We all know sce are taken from space marines. Their story is far more in line, more on the conquest part which suppose you haven't read. seraphon are nothing like sm and half their lore is actually based on land, not on their ships which actually are just space enclosures that replicate an earth jungle environment (completely different to a space marine space ship).
@@Midgar88 First off dipshit, I was making a throwaway comment; making fun off Seraphon lore. I can see your reading comprehension has failed you. If we're actually talking lore, Stormcast focus on reclamation and redemption, taking back what was taken by Chaos not soley on "conquest" but spiritually in the theme of hope against the dark, redemption of the souls that were oppressed by chaos. 40k Chaos is an internal battle where their soldiers and residents turn against the oppressive regime for Chaos. AOS chaos is an external threat much more than an internal one. Space Marines are created to fight for the Imperium, Stormcast are chosen for their virtues, thematically Space Marines are expantional facists, Stormcast are Valhallan-esque chosen people that fight to free the people, and important difference, aren't facist. They're not an analogy to Space Marines, the Stormcast are an anti-thesis to Space Marines.
That was such a tight, dramatic game. I'm so excited to play with that Yndrasta spearhead against my partner's Daughters of Khaine when my Skaventide box arrives.
I was a little worried about how Spearhead would handle a massive hero model like Yndrasta, but making her effectively function *as* the battle trait for the army is super cool. Her arrival is either a cinematic "victory from the jaws of defeat" moment or a final nail in the coffin of a successful game.
Got an idea. Maybe I had too much caffeine. In-house elimination tourney. Each round a different game. AoS, Legion, MCP, Conquest, and 40K. Make it an annual thing. The PlayOn Megaverse Tournament.
Great game fellas. Loving the Spearhead content, this new format might actually draw me back into playing. I have a rules question. @14:39, once the Chariot fell, shouldn't the Saurus unit that charged have gotten an opportunity to pile-in? With no other units in range, the pile-in could've been towards the centre objective, potentially giving the chance to take it after combat with the now in-range Vigilators. Also, how come you share your Battle Tactics with each other? I get sharing with the audience but it makes no tactical sense to let your opponent know what you're trying to do.
Oddly enough there's nothing actually stating in the rules (at least not that we found at the time of filming) that said you had to hide your Battle Tactics, so for the ease of filming and being 40k players where secondaries are known by both sides. We just played it as not having to keep them a secret.
@@PlayOnTabletop You're right, there's nowhere that says you have to but if you check pg53 of "The Rules" pdf, point 9 days you don't usually... I didn't mention it before because it seemed Rules lawyery 😁
Aztec dinosaurs riding bigger dinosaurs, whoever came up with these is a genius
AoS is such a cool game. Please, keep making content about AoS in the future!
More AOS. Hopefully, we will have a video soon on the new SoulsBlight Gravelords vs Slaves of Darkness
JT is my spirit animal! He plays dwarves and loves dinosaurs. He is my man! Just need to get the beard he has now.
We don't get rid of beards here.
I also love dwarves. I would so get the Dweghorn taster from Para Bellum. the guys who do Last Arguement of Kings if you are unfamiliar with them.

Just don't shave. Ever again. One of us, one of us.

What’s cooler than a dinosaur? A dinosaur riding another dinosaur!!!!!!!
With LASERS!
Yndrasta & the Annihilators is objectively the best name for an AoS themed band.
Great game. And I absolute adore, adore, how they've implemented Yndrasta into Spearhead.
By allowing Yndrasta to come in halfway through the game, it both allows her to really feel like the epic force of destruction that she is while also forcing her player to really make smart decisions in order to survive until then.

if they eventually implement this mechanic into 40k this would definitely fit for the Lion
She and the Sanguinor probably belong in the "runs into the ring with a steel chair" club
Seems unfair if you just bombdrop something after units are already messed up
@@wiictvchannel1112 Spearhead is pretty high lethality, so her arrival is usually more of a respite for your beleaguered force than a win-more mechanic.
LOVING spearhead bat reps, these are so much fun and the rules are so streamlined. Please, more AOS content!
If i had a nickel for every time they got the Vanquishers name wrong i could afford the spearhead
Nice batrep, love it! We want more AoS.
Just fyi:
the cards are hidden knowledge, you don't show them unless you use them.
And after you charge you can do a pile in move even if you are not in combat anymore (not sure if it was not done willingly)
they probably do it for the show
@@steliosvagianos8445 I think it just changes the dinamic of the turn too much. It's a pretty big deal when your enemy knows what you wanna achieve that turn and all the possible commands you can do. (Oh you got that counter charge card? Imma be extra careful, etc)

@@SoroYo that's one way to go about it. Plus, they kinda wanna show off the game a bit, so they're showing stuff to the audience more. Just a guess
Yep. That’s pretty much the reason. It’s much easier for your guys to follow along.
@@PlayOnTabletop Makes for a good show too haha

Always a pleasure to see more AoS from you guys!!
I like the green for your Seraphon. Nice to see more AoS content!
I’m just a 40K player and I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about more AoS content from all the big battle report channels, but I’ve been LOVING IT
I cannot tell you how happy I am to see you guys doing AoS in 40 minutes again.
JT, remember the 5 D's of Dodgeball! Dodge, Dwarves, Dinos, Dark Elves and Dodge!
Please keep making AoS content!
I'm hyped! Let's go AoS!
You guys should do a episode where you tell use which armies you guys are excited for in AoS
It was cool to see the double turn. It was the perfect opportunity to use it.
Its my Seraphon!!! Lets go JT!!! unleash Barney on those stupid Stormcast!! Thank you Play On loving your AOS content, amazing work guys!
SCE using swords are just the coolest things out there
You don't actually technically tell your opponent what cards you have. You can, but the game is intended to play without knowing what your opponent has
I've really grown to love the AoS games and have binged through all the ones on here. Hope to see more AoS from you all in the future!!
What an incredible game! Spearhead looks like a lot of fun, hope to see more AOS content in the future :)
I really enjoy watching you playing and most important having fun on other games as well. And your battle-ready miniatures are really on point and show that we don't always need competition winning paint on the table to have fun ! Great work team !
Just bought seraphon for my son, he's over the moon,cheers for this guys
I just love Spearhead! Well played to both of you.
So, do you guys have a closet with a bed for Stephen at this point? We could start working on his BC residency at this point
Thanks for these, have loved the collaboration between yourselves and vanguard over these videos and would love to see more Spearhead games in 40 minutes, really like the concept as a casual player with a boatload of combat patrols I can see that this is a step up and a better game system from CP and would love you guys to keep playing on with it!
This was such a fun video to watch! Please more AoS!
Amazing work, folks! Spearhead has yet to disappoint!
I loved this battle report! I loved seeing the dinosaurs and the stormcast battle it out.
Im wanting more of this content! This is awesome! LETS GET OGORS IN!!!!
Excellent battle report! Incredibly clutch at the end game, too.
Awesome Battle Report! Love how the Seraphon play 🦖 also Yndrasta coming on later turns was very epic, I wasn’t sure before about coming only on half of the game, but after this game it makes sense 😅
Gief flesh-eater courts vs anything really. Thinking of getting the Spearhead for them and getting into AoS ^^ .
Fellow fec enjoyer? Based
agreed. would love to see them in action.
@@christerprestberg3973 oh yes. I also am planning in getting them
Love the content and after a long while have finally purchased dice, a dice tray and dice bag from baron of dice.
May your dice be blessed and tell the greatest of stories!
So glad to have more AOS on this channel!
Absolutely love Spearhead. Well balanced, quick games that always end close.
VANQUISHERS
VIGILORS are the sword and bow squad.
@@nationalmaverick not even Vigilors, they keep saying Vigilators 🤣 it hurts
What a game indeed !
I really like the seraphon, but with those stormacast rules, i couldn't help but root for them to win haha

Jt was great as always, and steve was also fun! Love to see some more aos content from yall
JT seems like he’d be such a fun player to play and lose against.
JT is a fantastic player and really fun to play against as well!
Really enjoy your content, amazing production value and a fun watch. Can’t wait to get started with spearhead. Keep up the great work guys!

Lol of course JT is all about the Seraphon! So glad everyone over at play on is getting in this hype train
What a fun format, I can't wait to start playing the new edition!
Love the Spearhead format and great players! Almost didn't seem fair till Yndrasta came down and instantly did like...16 wounds? Bonkers
This was awesome to watch! Please post more AOS Spearhead!
Loving the AoS content, keep making those please!
JT plays Votann, Aelari and now Dinos 😢 all my favorites which cements JT as my favorite
i may try this game now. nice work boys
Why yall making me wanna start playing AoS so bad!!!
Also, everyone in the videos looks like a fun person to play, but JT is so fun to watch!
I love how Stormcast names are so samey, and so many, not a single person gets them right (unless it's your main army)
That was awesome. They didn't win but I know what spearhead I'm buying next. Go go Seraphon!
so excited for spearhead
Lizardmen!!! I'm stoked
Love the AoS content, inspiring me to maybe get an army started!
Love seeing more Stephen and more Spearhead!!
I see AoS I upvote
I’d love to get into 4th Edition need time and need friends that are interested in it!
I think we can all agree that we need to see some more Skaven action
Awesome, now do some full size battles!
Got an idea. Maybe I had too much caffeine. In-house elimination tourney. Each round a different game. AoS, Legion, MCP, Conquest, and 40K.
Make it an annual thing. The PlayOn Megaverse Tournament.
even JT was like who painted the PURPLE dinosaur ...... hahhaaha he knows
Love seeing AoS!! Hope we get some more!
Heck yea loving this!

Loving this AoS content, keep it coming.
I'd love to see more AOS and definitely more Seraphon
Great report
Such a good episode! PLEASE play with Idoneth Deepkin!!!
Man I love your content
More spearhead, nothing else, just spearhead
Exactly
This makes me want to play start collecting and playing aos
Love more AoS
A purple dinosaur? Is his name Barney, by chance?
This game was amazing! I am only sad that the purple dinosaur died :(
So hyped to play spearhead !
More of this plz!
We’re one step closer to a 4 player free-for-all game of Warcry…
Great game
You have to be down 5 points to be the underdog in spearhead. So you weren’t suppose to get those benefits :/
Amaizing Game
I think you forgot the 1 VP from the "source of life" objective at the end of turn 2... wouldn't have changed a thing though.
Pretty stephen lives here now 😂
LETS GOOOOO DINOSAURS YEAAAAAAJ DINOSAURSSSSS
Thanks for the video
Kroxigor? More like Kroxipoor-running-skills!
Spearhead is awesome! Just kick back, play some simple rules and roll some dice
I’d like to see some sylvaneth hit the table
Awesome video!
Another AoS battle!!!! Love this game
please more aos
Indrasta has the strike first only when she does a charge move no?
