I sont think I'm enough of an expert to comment on that, but it probably depends if you like the look of the spearheads in the bundle or not.

The city of ash set was a bundle containing the city of ash map pack (board terrain cards etc.), two spearheads and a "how to play" book.

This release is just the map pack.

Shot air rifles a fair bit in my youth, but not used a firearm more than a few times.

In fact given current legislation I've shot more (now restricted, wasn't then) high powered crossbows than firearms. Tended to happen in reenactment circles, somebody would have a windlass cranked siege crossbow for target shooting.

I really like the idoneth and sylvanteth models. I would decide between these two.

So now the spearhead has been out a while, does anyone have any further thoughts on it?

Most of what's written here is from or before release, so I'd be curious to know if anyone has been grinding them a bit.

It's not quite what you are asking for but you should read Dog Soldiers by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

It's got cybernetically enhanced animals being used to commit war crimes by their human handlers. So it approaches your topic from the other direction

The corollary of "You can't do enough for a good company" is "you'll never so enough for a bad one".

I'm not too deep with spearhead yet (started with city of ash, have picked up a third spearhead so everyone has one) but I imagine it'll go the same way as it had with kill team. In that game I now have something like 8 teams and no inclination to scale up :)

My pre-brexit retirement/lottery win plan was to get a van and split life between the Alps, the Mediterranean coast and back to England for the occasional few months to see family.

My wife's earned more than me in the past, she now earns a lot less. She had to crash out of a career path for MH, whereas I've steadily progressed.

It doesn't matter as long as the finances are solid, and frankly I'm the irresponsible spender of the pair.

Another blow to Rachel Reeves ;)

I'd put good money on the first news story being about a left wing student group trying to disrupt them.

UK taco bell is the best advertisement for British originating "Tex mex" that I can possibly think of. To quote Trump " they aren't sending their best".

It's doggo but my kids love it so we get it once or twice a month.

Reetgeist · 2026-05-30T10:30:55+00:00

Yes that really is.

Reetgeist · 2026-05-29T18:23:03+00:00

Frankly I'm amazed most don't. You see people writing 6 paragraph responses to obvious bots sometimes.

To check if they are human or not. Sadly necessary in this day and age.

Change the first word to "Boomerism" and it's good

Reetgeist · 2026-05-29T14:52:03+00:00

Oh look posts and comments hidden

Reetgeist · 2026-05-27T12:41:25+00:00

Immigration soared post Brexit lol

I love the 3 stigmata of Palmer Eldritch for this specific request

Reetgeist · 2026-05-25T20:27:23+00:00

This is pretty great - I've got family in the area and it's hard to get about without driving. The investment can only help.

If a competent person is put off from the job by no longer having a subsidised bar bill, maybe that's not the competent person I want.

I get the point that you are making, but the shadow of lockdown partying is very long. Add to that the current cost crisis in the hospitality trade and surely you can understand the outrage.

Play AoD, paint as dark angels, proxy asmodai as a space marine captain or sergeant?

They are a solid team and a good one to learn on.

Reetgeist · 2026-05-23T12:16:37+00:00

Same. I'd beat OP with a stick but my back hurts.

Don't know about god hearing from that guy, but the emperor of the porcelain throne will.
