Get ready for some fast-paced, nail-biting action with Spearhead, the latest game mode hitting Warhammer Age of Sigmar! We’ve already covered the basics, but now it’s time to dive into how you’ll score points and issue commands to dominate the battlefield.
First off, scoring in Spearhead is straightforward – hold objectives, complete battle tactics, and use powerful commands to secure victory points. But here’s the twist – instead of the usual Matched Play rules, you’ll be using a deck of battle tactic cards, each offering a tantalizing choice between scoring points or unleashing devastating commands. It’s all about making those tough tactical decisions – do you go for the objective or hold onto your card for a game-changing command?
Speaking of objectives, specific battle tactics might require you to claim certain objectives named after the godbeasts of the Mortal Realms. With only twelve cards in your deck, every hand presents a strategic puzzle to solve. And don’t forget about the underdog mechanic – if you’re behind on points, you’ll get a bonus twist card to shake things up and keep the game exciting.
These twist cards can throw a curveball into your plans, whether it’s ensnaring vines or blazing infernos. Adapting to these changing battlefield conditions is key to victory, ensuring that every game of Spearhead is a thrilling test of skill and strategy.
Now, let’s talk about seizing the initiative. In Spearhead, winning the priority roll comes with a twist – if you seize the initiative, you won’t be able to draw any battle tactic cards unless you’re the underdog by a margin of five points or greater. It adds an extra layer of strategy to the game, forcing you to consider whether grabbing the initiative is worth sacrificing potential tactical advantages later on.
So grab your miniatures, draw your cards, and get ready for some epic battles on the tabletop! With Spearhead, the action never stops, and every game is packed with heroic moments and tactical brilliance. It’s time to show your opponents who’s boss in the Mortal Realms!
