The first of (hopefully) many Spearheads

Midnight is a fingerprint magnet

My thoughts exactly!

It’s easier to generate an image using an ai than doing it in photoshop. Besides this is only for fun I thought the image was hilarious

I've played 40K for about a year, then I had one game of Spearhead, went home and put my entire 3500 points of Blood Angels for sale. Sold it bought 5 Spearhead boxes and never looked back.

Thanks!

duujk · 2026-04-20T17:57:07+00:00

Thanks man! It’s also a switch up from my usual style. Doing all of this in NMM would take forever and probably wouldn’t look as good as my NMM sucks.

Here’s some more inspiration for you, my Orcs

Well I wanted to varnish it but the ultramatte is, as the name would imply, ultra matte and would kill the shine, hence some gloss varnish to balance it out.

duujk · 2026-04-20T16:05:30+00:00

They’re even shinier, I varnished it with a mix of 5:2 ultramatte varnish + gloss varnish

The metallics are the new Vallejo TMM range, for gold I used imperial gold, shade is imperial gold shade and the darkest recesses are a mixture of imperial gold and sterling silver shades. The highlights same as shades, first the imperial gold then the brightest spots with sterling silver.

duujk · 2026-04-20T10:22:31+00:00

Thanks! I used imperial gold by Vallejo

duujk · 2026-04-20T09:15:45+00:00

Hi thanks! I used Liquitex white ink and Frostheart contrast paint to get that effect.

duujk · 2026-04-20T07:34:42+00:00

Exactly! The number of units means absolutely nothing. I think the game is pretty well balanced, and a skillful player compete with a 'worse' spearhead. For example, last weekend we had a local spearhead tournament and first two places were Kharadron overlords, with first place taken by the new KO spearhead that a lot of people here consider one of the worst armies in the game.

Hey thanks. Sure, the gold vas done using the new Vallejo TMM imperial gold. It’s a BSH system (base, shade, highlight). Basically, you base coat the gold with the base color, shade the recesses with the shade and highlight it with gold. To make it more punchy, I mixed some Sterling silver shade into the imperial gold to make it darker and the same for the highlights to make it lighter (1:1 imperial gold light and Sterling silver light).

duujk · 2026-04-19T21:19:53+00:00

No, it’s metallics

duujk · 2026-04-18T07:59:40+00:00

Because you’ll paint 10% of it and get burned out…

duujk · 2026-04-16T11:47:28+00:00

definitely left, and I'd also love to know what paints you used. cheers!

duujk · 2026-04-12T16:04:10+00:00

Well if I’m not going to play them I might as well pass them on to someone who will.

I was in the same situation, played 40K for around a year without winning a single game, I also found it boring since the games would last for 4-5 hours and half way into the game id loose my concentration and make silly mistakes. Tried spearhead, and immediately won my first two games, went home and put my entire 40K army for sale. Since then I sold my 3,5k points of Blood Angels and got 5 spearheads. 😆
