I’ve been playing the Helsmiths of Hashut Spearhead pretty much exclusively for the last few weeks. Last night I tried the Skaven Warpspark Spearhead on TTS for the first time, and I honestly came away feeling like it does almost the exact same things, just better.

The Stormfiends feel better than the Tormentor Engine.

Clanrats might not hit as reliably as the Infernal Cohort, but you get more bodies and they are ridiculously sticky.

And the big ranged piece just feels straight up better at basically everything it is supposed to do.

The overall playstyle and roles of the units felt surprisingly similar, but Warpspark seemed to have the advantage almost everywhere.

How does something like this happen balance wise? Am I missing some strengths of the Helsmiths Spearhead, or is Warpspark genuinely just the stronger version of the same general concept?

Curious what people who have played both think.

Hi,

I'm pretty new to the Helsmiths (and AoS in general) and I'm looking to expand from the Spearhead to 1000 points for a local hobby league. Named characters aren't allowed.

What units would you recommend adding to the Spearhead? Is a second Spearhead worth considering, or are there better options for building towards a solid 1000 point list?

I'd be interested in hearing what has worked well for you and what units you think are must-haves.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m still pretty new to tabletop and my friends have at least managed to drag me into Age of Sigmar. I’ve played quite a bit of Spearhead now, painted one Mega Gargant, and I’m currently working on the second one. I’ll definitely finish that army first, so all good there.

Now I also know a few people who play 40k. My first thought was: “Hey, I actually really like Khorne, and Chaos Daemons exist in 40k, so that could be a great way to maybe build a second army at some point with at least some model overlap.”

So here is my actual question: Do you know of any lists or resources that give a good overview of which units, especially Khorne units, overlap between AoS and 40k?

I’ve tried comparing stuff on New Recruit with the AoS app for a while, but I haven’t fully figured out the regiment system in AoS yet. With Gargants it’s not exactly that complicated. ;)

I’d be really happy about any help.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m new to Spearhead and was wondering how GW usually handles the boards and terrain from new Spearhead boxes.

I really like the new board and terrain, but I’m not interested in Skaven or Cities of Sigmar, so I’d rather not buy the full box just for that.

Thanks in advance!
