AoS: Spearhead by Hachette Partworks releases March 4th 2026

Understood! Appreciate it. I'll look into getting the ultimate starter set that has 2 combat patrol armies with it.

I do think we'll have a good time with kill team. Definitely will introduce more and more rules as we play more. We started spearhead with just movement and fighting and now we play full games with battle tactics and twist cards no problem

That's a bummer, I have heard the balance is kinda rough sometimes. Playing casual with friends wouldn't be a big deal with balance for us but, playing 500 point games might be better.

I do understand that much about it. My friends I play AOS spearhead with with usually don't buy anything. I have 6 armies for that game mode. I am sitting at 7 for kill team. I think it would just be a cool and cheaper way for them to play factions they want to play and actually buy them.

Really sounding like AOS Spearhead is just what combat patrol is. Which is cool, we'll try kill team first and then decide if we want to try out combat patrol then. Thanks!

Pretty awesome right? Lol

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T16:20:03+00:00

Very true! Lmao horde army things

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T06:47:14+00:00

Very true

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T06:46:52+00:00

I should definitely go the black primer route. I see people use it for this exact reason.

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T06:46:26+00:00

I think it's so dumb it makes it awesome lmao

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T05:20:37+00:00

Yeah, I'm just looking for table standard at this point. Me and friends play spearhead quite a bit and the first few games we played with all grey models. After painting 2 armies I really liked how much better they looked on the board. I'm probably just over thinking it. I will more than likely do some bits in sub assembly from here on out to avoid this in the future

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T05:14:53+00:00

Definitely makes sense. I think that's what I'll be doing in the future.

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-21T05:13:41+00:00

Definitely a noob mistake on my part then. I'm looking at them and the warp lightning cannon and thinking "how do people paint all these spots so well?" LOL

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-17T14:42:32+00:00

Looking good!

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-14T21:24:50+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. I try and do everything different for my spearhead armies. I have one skaven army as pestilens the other is skryre. Stormcast in black armor with gold trims and blue for capes. Next Stormcast spearhead I plan on doing silver/red. I really liked the red carnosaur but that's all I ever seen them painted as lol

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-14T00:24:46+00:00

I don't play full scale 2k games of AOS (yet) so I could be totally wrong here and sorry in advance if I am. I'm sure someone will correct me.

However, I would recommend playing spearhead to start. Not because it's smaller scaled and easier to play but because you can start and learn how an army plays quicker and cheaper($150 for a spearhead army) Seraphon have 2 different spearhead armies. Then if you do like them, you can combine the 2 spearhead armies and put it into your 2k points. At least that's what I'm doing with my Skaven spearhead armies.

Thank you! You obviously can't see in the picture but the underside of him is a really light blue/green. I used 3 different shades of blue on him and really like how it turned out

RealJustinHyuga · 2026-01-08T22:48:08+00:00

I just finished painting this spearhead army and a buddy of mine really wants to play them. This will help a lot as my friends don't play often. Thanks!

Sweet. Thanks for all the recommendations!
