Age of Sigmar: SPEARHEADZ - Skaven vs. Sylvaneth

WELCOME TO SPEARHEADZ! This casual gaming series is going to explore Warhammer's new format of fixed-list casual gaming. This wide-onramp new system for playing Games Workshop's cosmic-fantasy wargame is perfect for the kitchen-table game crowd and is perfectly suited for where I'm at with gaming.
The Fire and Jade book in the new Skaventide boxed set has the complete game along with all the armies for this format; so we're going to dig into that all week long!

Dude I've been smashing a bunch of your videos through getting into your content from Mordheim and then Frost/Stargrave. I must say - your content deserves about 10x the amount of views. It's some of the most charismatic, well produced content on youtube. Particularly in the wargaming space. You've absolutely become the go to space for wargaming related content for me!

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

That’s so kind of you! Thank you so much!

I’m liking the Sylvaneth. I may have to buy or print up a spearhead.

[@PAWNSANDSWORDS]

How does Spearhead compare to WarCry? WarCry seemed absolutely ingenious on the accessibility - depth - fun spectrum. Do these compete or are they completely different animals?

Small thing that comes up during deployment - a single unit can only contest a single objective each cycle that objective controls is determined

I love that some people still remember this. That was June 2009!

[@Tboysupreme]

@@Epicduck I can't believe that was that long ago. Now I feel really old and question me life choices on watching tabletop gaming videos on KZbin over all these years 😄

[@Epicduck]

@@Tboysupreme I remember the exact week that video happened, because I transitioned from a full-time MWG employee to a contractor running Epic Duck Studios *on my birthday*. The video was recorded at like 450pm on a Friday while we were both trying to get out the door for the weekend and were just kinda done lol

I hate how treelords still suck, it makes me sad haha

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Treelords aren’t nearly bad in this hahaha it’s my dice

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames oh it’s 100% PTSD on my end, seeing 7 attack whiffs, is definitely an experience I’ve had every edition haha

How does Spearhead compare to Kings of War Ambush?

[@thedisgruntledorc]

Hey, mine might not be the option you're looking for, but I've played about 10 games of each, so have some experience but wouldn't say it's "deep" by any means. The size of Spearhead is great. Fitting on a kitchen table and packing up in a small case is a huge bonus. 3×3 isn't huge, but it doesn't travel as well. They are both great games, and both do what they do well. I'd say Spearhead has a lead in accessibility due to the lack of army construction though. I also like picking enhancements at deployment. Ambush can feel a little rock/paper/scissors depending on the match up where I haven't found that with Spearhead. Both are a great entry point to a bigger format if you want it to be, but I think Spearhead stands out as it's own system more than Ambush. Hope that helps.
