Hi all - something I forgot to mention in the video was the objective sizes. So here they are for you: So the objective markers are the standard 40mm size, but the entire area to capture it is 155mm circumference in total or 57.25mm diameter from the 40mm edge of the objective. In inches it would be 6.2 inches circumference in total. Or 2.25inches diameter from the edge of the 40mm objective marker.
This was more a “what you need” instead of a “how to play” video if you ask me. It would have been nice to see at least one battle round play out to get the idea of a turn.
I am just starting with Warhammer and I bought my first Spearhead army - Slave to Darkness. I started today gluing them together and can’t wait to get painting 😎✌️ Im actually a little upset that I didn’t start this hobby earlier 😂. Greets from Germany
I'm really glad to hear you're having a great time with the hobby so far - would love to see pictures of the spearhead when you're done either on social media or the channel's discord 🙂
Excellent video. I'm just getting into Spearhead, but I wanted to familiarise myself with it before committing fully. This was so useful and I'm sure I'll be revisiting it a fair few more times!
@@stephenlockhartmusic Nice choice - they're a really good spearhead force! I'm keeping my fingers crossed we hear about a Darkoath based spearhead coming soon.
@@TheCommandPhase They are! I’ve only played a couple of games with them (being new to AoS too), but I loved all their teleport and healing shenanigans 🍃 Oooh yes that would be great!
What a great box to get started with - really fun spearhead and a beautiful army too! Hope you have a fantastic time getting it built and painted up. It’s on my to do list once work calms down and I get the current video I’m in the process of making finished up.
@@TheCommandPhase Sorry, didn't notice your comment. I'm mainly a KT player, but I'm currently building my first 40k army ;) As for AoS, I turned it on out of curiosity
@@TheCommandPhase The Black Templars, but I must admit that the choice was very difficult as I wanted to play mainly GSC, but unfortunately they changed Combat Patrol to a much worse one
I was not entirely sold on Stormcasts and Skaven, but the Skaventide box looks terrific and the value cant be beat. Probably the best game in one box GW ever did
100% it’s incredible value for money and if you aren’t after all of the parts from it - there are plenty of bits separated on the secondary market at really good prices too. (Like the fire and jade book and accessories if you wanted just that).
Amazing video my guy, covered absolutely everything I couldn't find elsewhere with exception of precise measurements on the objectives. It's almost like GW didn't expect or want anyone to play on a board that isn't specifically sold by them!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍 I knew there was something I forgot to pop in! So the objective markers are the standard 40mm size, but the entire area to capture it is 155mm circumference in total or 57.25mm diameter from the 40mm edge of the objective. In inches it would be 6.2 inches circumference in total. Or 2.25inches diameter from the edge of the 40mm objective marker. Hope that helps 👍
@@TheCommandPhase Thanks mate, are the only 'legal' boards the two sided ones sold or are there other objective placements and layouts you could do for Spearhead?
@DanMarston117 No problem at all. So they are the only “legal” ones as part of the fire and jade pack. But I will imagine that if they support it going forward, the next season with two different realms would have alternative layouts. But if you wanted to test out alternatives, I doubt it would hurt 👍
My wife and I are interested in getting into Spearhead, and I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to start. We have zero experience or familiarity with any of it, but we think this could be fun to do together. Is Skaventide better than hunting down individual Spearhead armies and all the game essentials separately?
@Balcamion79 That's great that you're looking to get into spearhead. So there are a couple options here really. If you are a fan of both the new Skaven and Stormcast then 100% the Skaventide box is great value for money. As you'll get absolutely everything you'd need to get started with 2 armies (slightly more than their respective spearheads), core rulebook, fire & jade book for all the spearhead army information and core rules you'd need inside (granted these are free online), terrain, board and cards for spearhead alongside the generals handbook for the first season of full AoS. That being said, if you weren't interested in the skaven or stormcast, then I'd suggest looking on ebay as you can grab all the accessories you'd need (terrain, board, cards and fire & jade book) from people splitting the skaventide box, for less than the spearhead accessories pack direct from GW. I've spotted some this morning for about £28 on ebay from a quick glance. And then picking the two spearheads you like the look of the most - again depending where you live, you hopefully have access to an online gaming store, like Glasshammer or Waylands games over here in the UK as a couple of examples I have linked in my linktree. where you'll get up to 20% off the rrp. (every little helps to make this hobby more affordable). Hopefully that helps, welcome again to the hobby and I'd love to hear how you get on!
I'm starting with the Maggotkin Spearhead. It was a blast to paint up and I'm excited to start playing. Gonna get a decent box to bring em to warhammer nights at the lgs hopefully there will be other spearhead players
I shall be playing with the Gitz as soon as I've finished painting them! Had a game with Sons of Behemat and the Bonereapers and tomorrow I'm trying out the Tree dudes 😂 all good fun so far!
I'm just getting in to AOS and bought and built the soulblight gravelords spearhead can't wait to actually play it but have no idea about the rules yet :D
Hope you have a great time! To be fair, I don’t imagine it’ll be too long until we do see one. Same with the ironjawz now they are their own faction. I’d imagine they could add these in with white dwarf if they didn’t want to make new boxes like they’ve done with some combat patrols recently.
I have bought 10 spearheads over the last few days, hiring artists around the world. I hope my support is a way for Warhammer to see that faster and less intense armies can bring in new people.
Sounds like a really cool set of projects - which ones did you go for? I grabbed Cities, Flesh eater courts, Seraphon, Fyreslayers and Deepkin myself (just got to build and paint them all now 😅)
Seraphon (USA), Skaven x2 (USA), Cities of Sigmar (Poland), Slyventh (Poland), Orruk (UK), BoneCrusher(Italy), Behemat (USA), TZEENTCH (USA), Stormcast (USA), and then I am doing the Idoneth. Some of these like the Seraphon are local bought off facebook that won't be pro painted, but I want some display, and some for my kids to drop.
@@marcussloss6937I've been commissioned to do a few of the Bonereapers boxes if you want to get them sometime! I can build, paint and ship them in 3 days of receiving the box.
Awesome - it's a really fun game and hopefully with continued support going forward it will carry on being a fun format. Which faction were you playing as?
Great helpful, concise video!...I wish I'd seen this before trying out a couple of games yesterday, would've saved us about an hour of figuring stuff out...and you've sorted out a few things we'd still gotten wrong!😅
@@TheCommandPhase I'll start off by saying I am very much looking forward to getting some more games in soon!...as, admittedly, yesterday, we were going in totally blind, figuring it all out as we went, rummaging through books, cards and the app constantly...so the first game took *ages*, and we only got halfway through the second game before we called it, as it was getting too late...although we were starting to get the hang of it, and things were going a lot more smoothly by that point. (Again, I really wish I'd watched this video earlier!😅) ...but, regardless of all our bumbling user-error, it still felt like a great, tight, fun game...nicely small, short, and simple, but still with a satisfying amount of strategy, depth, and variation...the enhancements and regiment abilities let you mix things up a little bit, despite the set units...and the twist and battle tactic cards seem like they can really add a lot to the game. I played Sons of Behemat vs Slaves to Darkness first...I played too defensively in the first half (didn't know objectives were sticky), and then just rolled terribly in the second half...also chaos knights seem like a pretty mean unit! ...then 2 rounds of Maggotkin of Nurgle vs the new Skaven...shame this one got cut short, it felt like there was a lot of interesting stuff still yet to happen!...the skaven seemed to have a lot of fun, thematic gimmicks, and I was enjoying how maggotkin seemed to be going too, I was very happy with my blightkings specifically!
I have very little time for the hobby. I want to turn up, play, and have fun. Many wargames feel like you need to spend days off the table building a list for the hours you play to be competitive. I love underworld essentials, and other games like Moonstone because I can put hobby time into painting, then have fun playing.
@SzymonJakubiak those Orruks are really nice models and the rules look really fun. The new Skaven and Stormcast models are incredible, if you do get any of the new sets I hope you enjoy putting them together and painting them up 👍
This was a great introduction. My boyfriend just is getting back into the old world. We have a 3D printer and a huge selection of files. He's allready chosen an army and models but hasn't gotten around to crunch out a configuration for me to print for him. So for his upcoming birthday I looked for a Spearhead force to work with the models he's chosen, printed them, built a board (or am building as we speak), ordered the cards on Ebay, have to build the terrain, but most importantly I'm working through the rules. Because then we can play something that scratches his fantasy itch without having to build a complex army and just print a new force if we feel like it. On a random side note: Did you happen to have a small mtg channel around 7 years ago or so? I feel like I know that voice but could just be similair. Anyway, great introduction.
You have good ears, I did in fact have an MTG channel (Life Begins at 20). Nice to hear from you again and hope you are well. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, sounds like a great way to get back into the hobby and an awesome birthday present!
@@TheCommandPhase Holy shit, I used to be one of your first two patreons. As soon as you said "lets get stuck in" I was like "waaait a minute". And I remembered you being into warhammer as well.
Is spearhead a good option for a couple with little chance to schedule play at stores, or is there enough replayability with the same two armies again and again? We also are new to wargaming, btw
100% I can’t recommend it enough. Perfect way to learn how to play the game, your chosen factions and develop in a format that provides some really quick games once you’re up to speed. 2 sides of the board and 2 deployment options and the cards being random each game, certainly helps for replay-ability. Plus I’d imagine there will be plenty of stores in the future setting up spearhead events too. That and if you do decide that you fancy trying a different faction it’s not a huge buy in compared to a whole new army. I mean I grabbed a few spearheads after trying it at Warhammer world and I don’t plan on expanding them further. Which factions are you thinking of picking up?
@@TheCommandPhase I love the look of Nighthaunt, and it looks like something a beginner could paint. I'm interested in Soulblight, Seraphon, Sylvaneth, Ossiarch, and Splashy Elves! If my husband is interested, I guess we would look into whatever he likes the look of!
It is a small board size, which does make it very easy to find space for getting a game in. Thankfully it doesn't feel too small when playing and trying to achieve all the battle tactics, which is a positive.
Lots of mention on how it is not a main game and how it is to bring people to aos...but Spearhead in itself sounds great, didnt enjoy Aos 3.0, will try spearhead soon!
Honestly this is a format you could just play by itself without ever needing to build a 2000 point army if you didn’t want to. Lots of fun and nuance to it as well, all while learning the core rules of the game. And the perfect excuse to try out a variety of factions to find one you click with. Plus if they support it enough it’ll be a lot of fun for ages to come. If you do try it out, I really do hope you enjoy it 👍
Awesome stuff! I had to pick that box up too when making the factions video as it looked a lot of fun. Looking forward to playing it. You’ll have to let me know how you get on, good luck 👍
Your best bet is to head onto ebay or another secondary market and grab one from there that people are selling as for some reason GW haven't released a separate one yet. All of the rules for each faction are currently free in each of the faction packs on the warhammer community website if that helps.
@@TheCommandPhase Hmmm.. Really weird they haven't released it seperately yet. A friend of mine has the book, and I quite like the way the warscrolls are laid out for each faction. I don't like the free ones nearly as much. Anyway, thanks for your comment, I know where to head next. Ebay, here I come.
One page rules is still superior...if you play spearhead it has nothing to do with the main game....OPR is just a streamlined set of rules that you can play with any of your models at any point value...HUGE failure by GW, but what else is new.
Step 1 - Dont. Step 2 - This is combat Patrol 2.0. It has no place on the tabletop. It was some boardroom nerds idea to try and make more sales by convincing people their ridiculous prices got the customer something playable. Most of them.. arent.
The latter half of your "Step 2" is likely fairly correct...the rest is highly biased nonsense though...imo. I actually tried out a couple of games yesterday using different factions...and it was actually a great time! ...and I haven't touched any AoS since 2018 I think, and I had absolutely zero interest in combat patrol for 40k...so I really wasn't expecting to like it.

All of the rules for each faction are currently free in each of the faction packs on the warhammer community website if that helps.
@@TheCommandPhase Hmmm.. Really weird they haven't released it seperately yet. A friend of mine has the book, and I quite like the way the warscrolls are laid out for each faction. I don't like the free ones nearly as much. Anyway, thanks for your comment, I know where to head next. Ebay, here I come.
Brilliant ❤
Thank you - glad you enjoyed 👍

Good video. Just hard to listen to when you modulate the volume at the end of each sentence. Last word same pitch!
One page rules is still superior...if you play spearhead it has nothing to do with the main game....OPR is just a streamlined set of rules that you can play with any of your models at any point value...HUGE failure by GW, but what else is new.
Step 1 - Dont.
Step 2 - This is combat Patrol 2.0. It has no place on the tabletop. It was some boardroom nerds idea to try and make more sales by convincing people their ridiculous prices got the customer something playable.
Most of them.. arent.
The latter half of your "Step 2" is likely fairly correct...the rest is highly biased nonsense though...imo.
I actually tried out a couple of games yesterday using different factions...and it was actually a great time!
...and I haven't touched any AoS since 2018 I think, and I had absolutely zero interest in combat patrol for 40k...so I really wasn't expecting to like it.
Nah spearhead is fun. Cope and seethe.
Thank you for this, concise and comprehensive and perfect for a refresher before my game today
You’re more than welcome 🙂 How did your game go?
