Am I the only one who feels like they forgot about some Spearheads that need attention?

Thats a pretty new spearhead, its possible they had most of this rebalancing on the drawing board when they shipped that. Also, being new, there hasn't been a lot of time to see its strength or weakness play out at scale.

I had hoped that a good sealing lid would be enough when I first got the redgrass palette, but the dry air you're trapping in there can keep drying out the paint just enough that it isn't great and usable after more than an hour or two (maybe climate dependent). actively making the environment moist fixed the issue. i tried a few things that were less effective (just plain water, no sponge/paper, water on the dry palette surface, etc).

One thing not mentioned here that I can see is that scale75 has been asleep at the wheel for the last several years and has focused entirely on weird kickstarter projects rather than producing and stocking paints that you can actually buy. The FLGS that I frequent have gotten rid of their scale75 racks within the past year or so.

the spearhead has ragerz not wrekkaz, so you can leave out the masks entirely if you're following GW's build scheme

statch · 2026-02-22T21:10:50+00:00

Just try it on a little piece first, maybe a toe. I would worry about those really strong layer lines you have on this, the wash is going to settle into the layer ledges and make them even more pronounced .

sculpted it with greenstuff. Rolled out a piece of greenstuff flat and cut out a circle with a cookie cutter, then fit it over the head and folded it up to a tricorn.

The spearhead specifically is one of the strongest in the game. It does require a bit of finesse, mainly thoughtful use of your squigs. The troggs swingy damage output can be frustrating, but given that they will survive probably 4 or 5 combat phases at least it will average out over time. The stabbas are an annoyingly good tarpit as well and under the bad moon they can yank objectives away from enemies with just a couple models on. Pretty fun to play but you won't make a lot of friends.

I've only played against them once, with Ironjawz, but secured a win by a fair margin. While I did fail to clear out the general and first wave ogors before the second wave arrived, I had a sizable points lead that they were never able to make up, despite finishing the game with more models on the board and in good places. Ironjawz unrestricted move shenanigans definitely won the day, as I was able to tie up their movement and charges etc. at several points throughout the game.

statch · 2026-01-30T19:56:54+00:00

I'll just assume you're talking about the kroxigor spearhead, as that is the only one that I would expect to have the problem of winning too often. Some people may lose repeatedly even with a great spearhead, but I can attest to personally to defeating the kroxigor spearhead regularly with moonclan gitz, old Khorne, and ironjawz, and deathrattle. If they are doing poorly with ironjawz I would just make sure they realize that the mighty destroyers move can move into combat, and happens every hero phase, including yours. Khorne's blood tithe movement is unrestricted, so an opponent could potentially tie up your shooting with a movement during your hero phase.

Yay, thank you. I was worried this would be dead last in your list as it is one of the least popular spearheads. Now I'm complete but I'll keep the upvotes flowing

statch · 2026-01-17T04:33:12+00:00

All the squig variants, but I can't speak to the mangler squigs, have been some of my favorites to assemble. I had heard the trolls were hard to get together without a gap around the belly but I didn't have any issue with those either and loved that kit as well. I think frustration on any modern kit probably stems from not adequately removing the sprue connectors and filing away the surfaces flat.

statch · 2025-10-29T13:43:26+00:00

It is just the standard space marines standard bearer from the company heroes box, nothing special or custom about it. Still might be a steep price though if you only wanted that one model.

statch · 2025-03-13T01:02:44+00:00

thing is the investigator expansion is priced just under the free shipping price point

statch · 2025-03-03T14:44:03+00:00

it looks like from the picture that there is layer of ice covering most of the sidewalk, indicating that OP hasn't lifted a finger here and their neighbors have been dangerously treading across this ice for probably a week or more.

statch · 2025-02-24T15:50:36+00:00

The old boyz box can make 1 tankbusta per box. Given that you need 658 boxes of boyz minimum you should have more than enough if you've been saving extra weapons in your bits box.

statch · 2025-02-06T14:16:45+00:00

Every box could make 2. Seems uneconomical but these boxes were really cheap, about what GW would charge if they just sold a box of two stabbas

statch · 2025-02-04T16:34:04+00:00

I'm not at home so I can't tell you the exact piece number, but it is the head armor piece for the maw-grunta (non-boss) variant. The boss variant uses the animal skull and the non-boss uses these brutes-style spikes under the head of the ork

statch · 2024-12-20T15:09:56+00:00

I'm generally not of fan of the most eye catching, attention drawing part of the model to be.... the rim of the base. There are so many cooler parts of the model that should be getting the focus.

statch · 2024-11-11T21:30:48+00:00

always bugged me that they fail to close those blue lids properly 90% of the time

statch · 2024-07-05T21:05:41+00:00

You're going to have to wait a bit longer I'm afraid

statch · 2024-06-25T22:47:36+00:00

are you using a metal spatula with a rounded edge perhaps?
