Alright, Warhammer fans, let’s talk about the awesome new game mode for Age of Sigmar: Spearhead! This mode is designed for smaller-scale battles, making it super accessible for newbies but packed with enough tactical depth to keep even the most seasoned players on their toes. Let’s dive into what makes Spearhead such a game-changer.
Spearhead: Quick, Tactical Fun
Spearhead is all about balance and quick, knife-edge finishes. It features streamlined warscrolls with tweaked abilities, powerful battle tactics, and twists that keep both players guessing every turn. Each game is designed to wrap up in under an hour thanks to a four-round structure and card-play mechanics.
Perfect for Newbies and Veterans Alike
New players will love how easy it is to pick up and play, while veterans will appreciate the rich tactical depth and balanced gameplay. Every faction has been extensively playtested to ensure balance, so you can jump in with confidence no matter which army you command.
Skaventide Launch Box
The Skaventide launch box is your gateway to Spearhead, featuring two complete forces—the Vigilant Brotherhood for the Stormcast Eternals and the Gnawfeast Clawpack for the Skaven. Here’s what you get:
- Fire and Jade Battlepack: A hardback book that takes the battle to Ghyran and Aqshy, complete with all the rules you need.
- Double-sided Game Board: One side for each realm, Ghyran and Aqshy.
- Terrain: Designed to look like a rat-infested Sigmarite settlement.
- Card Decks: Two decks of twists, tactics, and objectives to keep the game fresh.
- Range Rulers: 3” and 6” rulers that snap together to reach 9”.
Ready to Play
With the Skaventide box, you’re ready to dive into Spearhead with two fully equipped forces. And if you want to mix things up, the box includes everything you need to play any of the other 23 factions.
Miniatures and Rules
You’ve already seen the miniatures for the two new Spearheads. The rules for these and other Spearhead boxes are detailed in Spearhead: Fire and Jade. Plus, these rules will be available for free download after the launch on Warhammer Community.

Can the models be used in Old World?
I believe so, assuming your opponent is fine with some amount of non-standard base sizes.
