Did GW Accidentally Make a Good Game? Spearhead

[@EonsOfBattle]

Get the July 2024 Terrain the Starship Interior on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/eonsofbattle or our MMF Tribes: www.myminifactory.com/users/eonsofbattle Either way is the best way to get the 3D models!

[@StealthVenturi]

Can we have a studio tour Jay?

[@SuperSeel]

I second that motion!!!!

[@Trashbanditproductions]

I third that motion!!!!

[@Jonny.Y]

I eat that motion

[@merahkuningminis]

YES NICK, YES JAY, WE NEED A STUDIO TOUR!

[@StealthVenturi]

Everyone comment this until we get it!

[@dominicskelton3031]

I think what Games Workshop made is their most spectacularly thoroughly playtested game in forever. Probably a coincidence that everyone seems to think it turned out well....

[@darrylkerbow7948]

Spearhead is the perfect size for an impulse purchase. It’s easy to justify a new faction knowing one box is all you will ever need.

[@Keram-io8hv]

Absolutely

[@bouldergage181]

Yup.. and for those of us who can't justify the time and/or money for a full army it hits a sweet spot. I just bought my first box today. Night Haunts with Seraphon next. And a shout out to my local shop owner who steered me to Spearhead and away from Combat Patrol

[@miguipingui]

Imma need Shawn perspective in Spearhead not gonna lie

[@martinturner5484]

I'm sorta hoping that boarding actions for 40k will be a better actually balanced combat patrol. Being able to pick from a selection of units may help.

[@Kohdok]

And not $210. The Spearhead kit is only $65, and it comes with the boards, terrain, rules, warscrolls, and cards.

[@11AleZZ]

Boarding action is just the previous BA rules just for 10th ed, keep your expectations low

[@lionman8295]

FYI damage spills over in AOS. So if a killbow does 6 damage to a 1 health infantry unit, 6 of them die. And if you bonk a Gutrippa for 3 damage, 1 and a half will die.

[@matthiasdolfeyn3948]

It kinda makes sense since pretty much all attacks are physical : one crushing blow from a gargantuan claymore probably slices through multiple blue horrors, as it's a sweep attack. When working with bows for example it's a bit counterintuitive sometimes

[@Befferson]

crazy you had to point this out, you would think people would read the rules for what they play.

[@CojaGamez]

​@@matthiasdolfeyn3948I like to imagine it is an arrow piercing multiple enemies

[@beargrill42]

I’ve been playing AoS for a while and I’ve enjoyed Spearhead a lot, very refreshing

[@captainglitterbeard4531]

Please do more Spearhead Terrain packs!!!! I'd love a goblin themed set, sylvaneth theme set, etc..

[@captainglitterbeard4531]

I've played some Spearhead and will agree, it's the best miniatures game possibly ever made and definitely the best currently supported miniatures wargame.

[@CojaGamez]

Itd be absolutely crazy if they didnt, and so I am pretty sure they will. The different realms offer perfect opportunity for different terrains, boards, twists and battle tactics/commands

[@bjschultz]

I'm pretty new to Warhammer (haven't played a single game of 40K or AoS but I have a bunch of 40K units), just picked up the Soulblight Gravelords Spearhead box this weekend and now I'm super pumped to play my first game. Also, this is definitely the first time where you ACTUALLY might love something almost as much as your Patreon hehe. Keep it up, love the videos!

[@Luzganek]

I already was on 1st spearhead tournament at my local score. And one of the greatest things is tat the rules for each faction are so simple. Before each fight i just need a short moment to known what ennemy army do. It was my 1st ever tournament that I won, I play aos over 5 years but I still have problems to remember not only what ennemy do, but also what my units do. In spearhead I acctualy known what to do. I love it ❤

[@Bloxshot]

I will probably try spearhead

[@technophobiakills4371]

I'm stoked to see you excited about AoS - I appreciate seeing your Space Marine painting videos, because of the quality. But I'm super excited to see you paint other models.

[@NikitaLapshov-k4f]

It feels to me that Spearhead was made by main AoS team, while actual 4th eadition was given to the single celled organisms who design 40k

[@beargrill42]

What do you dislike about 4th edition? Other than manifestation spam I haven’t had too many issues with the new edition

[@NachoBearYeah]

This makes me so happy. Minis are really expensive over here so it's good to know that, whenever I finally get into AOS, there will be a game mode that I will be able to play out of the box. Now I'm reeeeally wanting to get some gobbos... Patience, Nacho...

[@SamuelWorsdale-yh6gm]

As someone who as recently started a ogor army I can’t wait to see it on the channel

[@CribCatTom]

We love Ogors but bonereapers better

[@jimmysmith2249]

You majestic bastard. Now I want to try to find a group for this and get into another game. Your enthusiasm is Infectious.

[@Humatra]

Can't wait to see AoS painting and terrain videos!

[@w0197]

Played my brother last night. He took orks. Gave his man-skewer the "covered in mud" ability and just sat in the back and sniped me. I did wood elves and used my Branchwych as a healer transporting around the board between the treelord and revenants.

[@Noah-nl5ug]

Are you planning to continue collecting the storm cast externals or are you going to collect skaven, because I think you can paint a good skaven army

[@darthkek1953]

I'd love a white rat good faction of Skaven because I have friends with pet rats and they are loving, fun, intelligent creatures.

[@RickyVonPooper]

@@darthkek1953 rats are awesome! They make great pets!

⁠@@darthkek1953 well I really like cats for the same reasons but I have seen a pet rat so I wouldn’t know lol

@@Noah-nl5ug I love cats and have had three, but rats are significantly more intelligent than cats btw.

[@Noah-nl5ug]

@@darthkek1953 yeah I can see that one of my cats at the moment is a bit dumb but also the cuddliest animal you will ever meet, but I would assume rats are easier to take care of. And also what army do you play (that’s if you play any games workshop games)

[@CernnuOneDesign]

im happy i hit the big boy in this case buying this, i just buy to paint but now im excited to play

[@RickyVonPooper]

You've made me more excited to crack my Skaventide box and get building and painting. And I'm so stoked to learn that I can use my Dominion Kruleboyz army with the Spearhead book! Thanks!

[@KamenRiderGreed]

I'm glad you're starting to see just how much better AoS is compared to 40K.

[@adrianhyde-price4342]

really appreciate your enthusiasm. Thanks!

[@wulvercreative6511]

My local community has been almost entirely 40K, MESBG and old world all year. We did one taster game of spearhead at my local store and within a week more than 10 people have picked up a box to get started themselves. Can’t speak about 4th edition in full yet but spearhead itself is just a fun game

[@overzealouscrusades]

My friend and I play 40k with his thousand sons combat patrol and my SoB combat patrol. We keep meaning to look into how to actually play the game but end up just playing until one person is wiped out. We just death match the crap put of each other. But now I'm really starting to feel like we're missing out on some way more fun ways to play the game

[@Bear_of_light26]

After trying a couple games, Spearhead is what I wanted Combat Patrol to be. I will 100% be buying some(probably too many) Spearhead boxes purely for spearhead with no plan to expand the army (not that some won't get expanded).

[@84jesterx]

I'm actually excited in wanting to try this game mode.

[@atlanta_greg_7612]

I’m intrigued. I love 40k lore and models but im still learning how to play. I will definitely be keeping my eyes on Age of Sigmar for possible playing

[@frequencynz5778]

After playing 40k and starwars legion for several years. I gave Blood Bowl a try and felt exactly how Jay felt towards Spearhead. We love our armies and staying with what we know, but sometimes diving Into something new can be so refreshing.

[@brokenheroics8223]

I hope to see more AoS content from you, Jay. Spearhead is fun and easy to get new players into the game.

[@son-of-Mandalore]

You painting skaventide stormcast?

[@gudmundursveinsson9060]

Was going to start building my first 40k army and been doing research for two weeks on what faction i want. Now this peaks my interest so back to the beginning i guess 😅

[@great-wyrmII]

I haven't really played any war games yet, even though i have a few painted 40k sets. And I'm definitely going with spearhead. I love seraphon even more than i thought i liked tyranids, so that'll be the box i get.

[@waterdrinker4706]

I played a spearhead “draft” tournament at my local gw and i had lots of fun its definitely a great game

[@LadyValrethgames]

I bought the Spearhead Soulblight Gravelords myself.

[@sugarface88]

This is new favorite jay video!

[@Daredrobbo]

Played it for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it! This is what I was hoping kill team would be like when I first got that.

[@michaelbonet9062]

How does it differ from Kill Team? It sounds a lot like Kill Team to me, but I’m not very deep in the world of GW. I play some Kill Team and enjoy it.

[@Kotosanji]

Oh kinda liking the look of some of those spearheads. The sylvaneth looks tempting since it's a smaller model count but the counts look nice too

[@MarcusBriggle-go5be]

Spearhead painting video when?

[@John_on_the_mountain]

I just signed up for a spearhead tournament this coming weekend. My first Warhammer tournament im glad to know Spearhead is fun lol

[@Undeadmudge]

I just finished collecting 2k pts of tyranid and 2k pts of space marine and now Age of Sigmar is in the spotlight, definitely interested in Age of Sigmar. I want to finish more of my 40k models before starting though so I hope spearhead retains its popularity.

[@joshy7759]

15:37 all the kill teams completed (still, or not the new ones?) now all the spearheads?

[@TheTrueJesterGuy]

Very excited for potential ogor mawtribe painting videos

[@lart93]

I'm currently building my sylvaneth spearhead as well! Got most of the models through the stormbringer magazine, and just printed some kurnoth hunters proxies to test it out. If I like it I'll probably get them in plastic since they're such lovely models.

[@Kohdok]

The big thing for me was the setup. 40k 10th and Sigmar 3rd have all of these strict rules to follow, then basically tell you to "trust your feelings" on terrain setup.

[@jacoblees7474]

Spearhead is really tempting to me, I love a quick game.

[@capefury8731]

Spearhead is amazing. It’s not perfectly balanced but it’s pretty much there. I hope that GW will bring out more double-sided maps with twits. (Similar to a board game expansion) There is 1 thing that I think can be pretty brutal, going 1st. I think they need to add a simple muligan system in the 1st turn. If you are going 1st you can muligan 1 card If you are going 2nd you can muligan 2 cards. Cards go to the bottom of your deck. The remove the underdog stuff IF there is no Underdog. So no roll offs to het a pretty big bonus in some cases

[@Funkabull]

I got to play spearhead a tad earlier than most and as someone entirely new to AoS as a whole the rules just made sense. Compared to 40K it's night and day

[@Lucifer666-Luci]

I would say that the best thing that has happened to me in 40k is how I almost killed a knight by punching it

[@jc7997aj]

Flipping the table works well too.

[@-TheMachineGod-]

The best thing that has ever happened to me in 40K was the last custodian in his unit took on and killed an ork deff dread through 2 rounds of incredible saves and lucky rolls

Warcry is a surprisingly great game so I'm happy to hear that GW might be putting the same effort in to the new AoS ruleset. Thanks for sharing!

[@Lord_Brownie]

The only feels bad moment I’ve encountered so far is the fall back and rally card being used on a unit of stormfiends, returning two full health models to a unit I spent the whole game trying to kill…

[@e_m_met]

Crimson Fists next please?

[@jc7997aj]

No, no ,no sir I want the Ultramarines with a red glove.... they are very unique 😂.

[@e_m_met]

@@jc7997aj Oh Young sir! You are clearly not from the days of Rogue Trader. I first got into 40k way back when Rogue Trader was released. The cover artwork by John Sibbick captured my imagination but the teenage me struggled to paint the RTB01 space marines to the standard I wanted. With the release of the Horus Heresy, the original marines have been re-designed and proportioned and look fantastic. I want to see Jay paint up a modern MK VI space marine but keep the vibe of the old school judge dredd comic book style with lots of 'kill' and 'death' grafitti over the armour. I think this would make an interesting video.

[@jc7997aj]

@@e_m_met 😑. I'm just busting your balls my good man. I've got hair in funny places older than Jay. One of my all time fav minis is Pedro. I have 2 of the original metal minis.

A studio tour would be fire for a milestone or something

[@thelemming6854]

[@UriskOfTheFae]

Spearhead is so popular at my local club that I literally got jumped last meet up with the "So when are we going to see your Hedonites of Slaanesh Spearhead?" 🥺 But I only want the Seekers in the box. (And even then I just want the cheap Seekers, not the $60 ones in the box)

[@KanaKuroko]

I'm very tempted by flesh eater courts spearhead, it just looks like fun models. Holding out hope for a votann box and they're teating me 2 different ways lol

[@bdog6160]

More spearhead, best thing out there

[@harkinsaquatics]

If you need someone to build/customize models that is my Favorite part. I really struggle to paint them all up. I 4 army's that are filly customized, not one matching model and almost all of them customized. That being said I really struggle to find the motivation to paint them after.

[@GeneralJerrard101]

I'm interested in spearhead because so many content creators are talking about it and how good it is. I'm not even subscribed anymore, but I still watched because I want to be convinced to buy more mini armies I don't need. I don't really want to give more money to get products, but I also want people playing smaller faster wargames, and if this is popping off, and super fun, and there's good stuff for the AoS greenskins.

[@funkwolf]

If they make it so you take mortal wounds when you fall back, it would make melee focused armies even more insane at what they do. It would mean they need to tone down melee armies a bit.

[@Mbounty3579]

Almost all armies in AoS are melee armies. Shooting does exist and can be good but the longest range I can think of is 24 inches. The only shooting focused faction is Kharadron Overlords and even then they have a some shooting weapons that can fire in combat.

[@d-emprahexpects]

[@darkgeargaming1564]

I will state that the duel nature of the cards would really benefit 40k IMO Adding something to say Marked for Death that is normally an internal groan card would really add some more complexity to the game and give it a more back and forth feel.

[@TheCommandPhase]

I’m a huge fan of Spearhead and what GW have done with this. Great for getting into Age of Sigmar not only for the wider game, but it’s great fun if you just wanted to stay at that level. Quick, fun and easy to pick up. I’ve bought far too many Spearhead boxes to add to my collection as soon as I tried this out back at the Warhammer World event. If they continue to provide rules for this going forward, with new packs/maps (like seasons) then this will continue to be a hit!

I've been tempted to try AOS and spearhead, but I watched a video of a guy who got into it early. He invested in tons of models and painted them all up and more than half to them where made obsolete in 3 years. I'm hesitant to get into a game that's perhaps not as stabilized as something like 40k

[@bouldergage181]

I love the fact that you can play several different factions for the same price as one full sized army
