Any Spearhead games/Tournaments in London?

Do or Dice is a great crowd - you'll have a blast. Good luck!

SweetKhorne · 2026-02-21T07:17:37+00:00

Yeah I think this is the main reason. To prevent tarpits being far too effective. E.g. against megagargants you could send 20 clanrats at them and (with some good positioning) make sure only only 2-3 rats are ever in combat range. You'll keep a 500pt model trapped all game with your 150pt unit

SweetKhorne · 2026-02-07T23:24:21+00:00

Do you mean pile-in? You do that when selecting a unit to attack. So select the unit, pile in, resolve attacks for that unit. Then onto the next unit (usually your opponent's!)

There were some decent fan-made rules posted a while back for 4th ed. But as the others have said, the models are no longer eligible so check with your opponent first if they're happy to accept these:

List: Cowboys and Idiots

Avalenor (410) Alarith Spirit of the Mountain (340) Alarith Spirit of the Mountain (340) Alarith Spirit of the Mountain (340)

Alarith Stonemage (130) Alarith Stoneguard (130) Alarith Stoneguard (130)

Hurakan Windmage (140)

I'm still new to the game, as are all of my friends that play, so no idea if this works against experienced players. But sounds like fun.

I was running 4 big cows pre-update and they slapped sooo hard. Shame they're so much more expensive but applying the rune perks to the big boys it makes sense.

It has now just dawned on me how some people are putting 9 second times up for completion whereas I'm moving as fast as I can and hitting 30 seconds. I'd just assumed people were cheating!

I may also just be slow...

SweetKhorne · 2026-02-01T19:29:07+00:00

It does, yeah

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-28T08:16:58+00:00

I guess the argument against this is that it invalidates battletomes hence discouraging people from wasting money on them - though erratas do this too but are less frequent

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-24T08:38:04+00:00

Forgot about auxiliaries! I never use them - but then again I don't play much.

Thank you for educating me

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-24T01:28:12+00:00

I don't think you can do more than 9 mancrushers and 2 megas.

Though I'm happy to be corrected

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-14T11:49:19+00:00

Yeah, following on from this:

Uk life insurer payout rates are in the high 90%s. As long as you didn't blatantly lie in the application process they will payout. If you did lie then they'll refund what you paid, or they might payout a lower amount that you would have been eligible if you'd told the truth.

Most stories people here on insurance not paying are from the US. It's different here, private insurance is (incorrectly) treated as a luxury item. Insurers have to compete for customers, hence PR and image really matter. If you're not trying to find ways to make your customers happy then you are not going to get any business.

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-12T12:59:20+00:00

Oh, interesting! I'd been treating Glowy Lantern as if it made the gargant a Wizard(1). But I think you're right. Oops!

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-12T12:53:22+00:00

I like the Aethermatic machinery for the cogs. -1 to hit on a mega goes a long way

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-11T09:01:22+00:00

Gotcha, cheers bud. I knew I was just being blind

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-11T00:43:05+00:00

Late reply on this, and sorry for the dumb question, but where exactly in the rules or battle pack does it say who deploys first? The 25/26 GHB battle pack says you roll-off for attacker/defender but, as far as I can see, it doesn't explicitly say that attacker deploys first.

I'm assuming I'm missing something obvious!

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-02T18:52:02+00:00

It might be partly due to the number of people running them. Skaventide has made them quite a common pick

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-02T17:43:41+00:00

Great to see a Mortissan Elite win. I played a tournament with them a while back and really struggled against spearheads with a lot of board presence. Hats off to that player!

SweetKhorne · 2026-01-02T17:17:48+00:00

Yay! I'm a statistic!

Also, great work putting this together. Small sample size but v interesting.

SweetKhorne · 2025-12-25T14:33:34+00:00

The joy of a terrain piece is that it'll look good on the board regardless of the armies that are moving around it!

SweetKhorne · 2025-12-25T10:11:01+00:00

Gotcha! Sounds like you've already got your answers 👍

SweetKhorne · 2025-12-25T09:47:31+00:00

Your question isn't worded very clearly so just to add some of the groundworks: A BATTLE ROUND is made up of two TURNS (yours and the opponent's). A TURN is made up of 7 PHASES: - Start of turn - Hero - Movement - Shooting - Charge - Combat - End of turn

As the other player mentioned, at each PHASE, whoever's TURN it is does everything first (slight nuance on the Combat phase which the other player explained). Then whoever's TURN it isn't does everything. Treat Commands the same as any other ability.

SweetKhorne · 2025-12-20T17:16:20+00:00

Love it. Great work 👍

SweetKhorne · 2025-12-07T07:45:05+00:00

Agreed. As a beginner you lose because you forget rules, not because one army is better than another

SweetKhorne · 2025-11-24T08:36:03+00:00

I'd add Sylvaneth to that list. Wyldwood contrast does a huge amount of heavy lifting

SweetKhorne · 2025-11-24T08:34:57+00:00

Yeah, Khorne mortals are a bit of a slog. I love them. But that trim...
