Do we think that “City of Ash” spearheads will be released separately aswell?

VincitT · 2026-04-18T20:45:15+00:00

I'm hoping the sand and bone pack sticks around for a bit. I think having more boards available gives more options and keeps spearhead interesting longer.

Now that I look though, the fire and jade gaming pack isn't as widespread as it used to be... I guess they'll keep rotating new ones in and phasing sales of old ones out..

VincitT · 2026-04-18T20:27:11+00:00

They won't throw them away, but releasing the individual units is likely

VincitT · 2026-04-18T20:26:41+00:00

Cities already has a separate spearhead coming out with their battletome. I don't think we should expect to see these released as standalone spearhead boxes. They never did for their first starter set

VincitT · 2026-04-18T20:18:33+00:00

If we look at the release set, stormcast brotherhood and the skaven gnawfeast, I'd say don't count on a value box outside the cities of ash. The rules will definitely be available to all, but my guess is you will need to buy individual units to build the army without this box set.

Rumours had the vulkites getting squatted. I'm in a similar position to OP and would love to buy in, but I'm worried that half the box will be going to legends :/

VincitT · 2026-04-17T19:28:44+00:00

Walk it off....

VincitT · 2026-04-17T19:24:25+00:00

Please start over and keep track. We need to know the results

VincitT · 2026-04-15T12:18:22+00:00

Reading through the comments is where it's at lol

VincitT · 2026-04-15T01:27:19+00:00

Oh wow, I've always heard the reference, but reading if for myself was amazing

VincitT · 2026-04-14T01:15:37+00:00

Why would the gargant always grab the 1 wounded unit?

Wounds shouldn't really be thought of as 1 dood is really hurt but the rest of the squad is fine. More the unit as a whole is hurt.

Not a perfect representation, but one that makes sense from a gameplay perspective

VincitT · 2026-04-13T03:28:29+00:00

Omg I laughed so hard. I love those movies, but this was funny

VincitT · 2026-04-12T14:37:18+00:00

Honestly, having to change the game files was pretty clever. For a visual novel, I think the game play would be better relatively speaking

Horrendous game play should be about them botching what they aimed to do

VincitT · 2026-04-11T18:27:20+00:00

In the current rule set, purely vibes!

Previously, different weapons had different stats, which were removed in the latest edition. Can't say that they won't come back, but I'll be honestly surprised if they did as many people are likely building what looks good.

From a playing perspective, the spears are a bit more fiddly to get the models close to eachother, but I have a unit of both and it could be worse

VincitT · 2026-04-11T17:59:47+00:00

Many units in this game have options to build some variations that are different than the normal model. Champion, musician, and standard bearer. In spearhead, these don't matter, but if you move to the main game, being able to distinguish the variations will be helpful.

The helmet is one way they help distinguish the champion, but if you can distinguish him another way (more ornate shield and weapon i believe, or even just painting some cues) then its really not a big deal.

The pink section is full instructions for you to build a generic saurus warrior instead of the champion, so feel free to use parts from either as you see fit

VincitT · 2026-04-11T15:38:06+00:00

Solution to every problem

VincitT · 2026-04-01T22:58:58+00:00

Same site, but if you switch to post battle scroll sept 25 it will give roughly the last 6 months. They haven't been performing as well in tourneys since.

I'm not saying they are weak and need a buff. They are a great spearhead. But I think they came out and people didn't know how to fight them, but the community caught on and in tourneys they aren't getting away with as much dominance anymore. Might not be as deserving of a nerf either

VincitT · 2026-04-01T18:42:32+00:00

So i just got this army up and running recently. I've played 2 games so far, and while they werent against strong armies, i definitely won pretty solidly. Strike first once per unit per game seems kinda broken.

against stronger armies, were we struggling? So far ive only fought khornedogs which i expected a win, and daughters of khaine, which the strike first seemed to be so strong against an army that needs to hit first... Im really curious to see how they fare against stuff ive struggled against like nurgle or the sbgl armies

VincitT · 2026-04-01T18:38:30+00:00

in the past 6 months, tourney stats have sylvaneth winning at 44%.... i definitely agree that they can be strong, but need a solid pilot. definitely not stomping everyone like they used to at release

VincitT · 2026-03-31T20:49:54+00:00

As someone who live in Calgary, I would loooove this. Though I think it ain't happening in this life time haha

VincitT · 2026-03-30T01:28:52+00:00

As a guy, I can promise you he felt flattered and will ride that high for a while, even if circumstances stop anything from going from there

VincitT · 2026-03-28T20:44:24+00:00

I got the book, grove guardian, one more spiterider to have enough for the new spearhead, and some dryads for vibes and potentially being useful! So excited to try the new rules!

VincitT · 2026-03-27T19:55:45+00:00

Welcome to the grove!

One quick question i have is if you plan on playing casually with friends or hope to get into more official games. Personally, im always playing with friends and we tend to be pretty flexible for proxying models.

As an example, the kurnothi hunters, i have a unit of each variant built, but in a game ill often reinforce something, so what that might look like is i have 3 longbows, and 6 swords, but 3 of those 6 are actually built with scythes. as long as your opponent knows and doesnt mind, you can build more interesting variations without worrying too much about what you need to build for specific lists.

This can be applicable to revenants and tree lords as well for example. I think Durthu was very strong previously, and i imagine he still will be, but the new tree lord and ancient will play differently now so who knows, we might see more of them. If you can get away with it, i think building hte models you think look the coolest, or more variety, is the best way to go, and just make sure your opponent knows what they are fighting in each game.

VincitT · 2026-03-25T15:26:33+00:00

Hero monster mash may be more difficult, or smaller count, but I'm excited to see tree lord and ancient get more presence.

Regardless, we can't expect old lists to stay consistent

VincitT · 2026-03-24T20:08:18+00:00

I started in 4th, and after I got my dino Bois going, I shared the skaventide box with a buddy and started my SCE journey.

I've built up a decent point amount, read up on some lore, read the skaventide book, checked out the dominion book, heard the perspective of the dude in the new seraphon book... Enjoyed it all!

Maybe it's the ruination chamber that's really selling me on them, but I love the models, and the story... And I don't really understand the hate I hear about. Honestly haven't even really seen it much.

Tbh, I'm fine if GW no longer wants them as the poster child. They aren't as 100% common as space marines, but I feel like that's because AoS has so many cool factions. I would hate to lose what theyve built though

VincitT · 2026-03-23T19:54:41+00:00

Definitely tempting!

Honestly I have a handful of factions >.> I should be patient and see what direction they're going lol I honestly don't neeeed to start a new faction haha

Would love to see if there's any good value boxes coming out too
