We are deep into Grotmas now, and this entry is a very practical gift. Spearhead already brought fast games to Age of Sigmar Fourth Edition.
Therefore, it has become a great on ramp for new players. It is also perfect when you want to test a new army quickly. However, the big question is what happens when four people show up.
Why Spearhead Works So Well
The article reminds us that Spearhead arrived alongside Fourth Edition last year. It lets you fight with preconstructed forces, so setup is quick and the game stays focused. Because the forces are built for balance, you get a clean two player experience. Additionally, it is an easy way to introduce friends to Age of Sigmar without drowning them in options. So Spearhead acts like a starter duel mode that still feels like the real game.
The core news is simple and very useful. The Warhammer Design Studio have provided Spearhead Doubles rules as a Grotmas Calendar download. So if you have four players, you can now pair up and play team games. It is basically the same Spearhead energy, but with allies and coordinated plans.
What the New Battlepack Adds
The new battlepack explains how to combine gaming packs for Doubles games. Additionally, it includes a few extra tweaks designed to keep everything running smoothly. The article does not list the tweaks in detail, but it frames them as quality of life changes for team play. Therefore, the focus is on avoiding messy edge cases and keeping the pace fast.
The article also sells the social angle. Teaming up makes it easier to bring loved ones into the Mortal Realms. One player can help with rules while the other rolls dice and learns. And because it is still Spearhead, the game stays punchy and exciting.
Summary
Grotmas Day 14 is a download focused entry that expands Spearhead into a four player format. Spearhead is already a fast balanced way to play Age of Sigmar using prebuilt forces. Now, with Spearhead Doubles rules, you can pair up and run team battles. The new battlepack shows how to combine gaming packs and adds tweaks so games run smoothly.
So if you have a group gathering and four people want to play, this is the answer. Grab the download, pick teams, and let the Mortal Realms explode in a friendly doubles brawl. Tomorrow’s Grotmas entry teases a strange Warp whispered tale, so the calendar is not slowing down.
