I'm excited to try out Lumineth Realm Lords and Cities of Sigmar in Spearhead! How about you?

@KamenRiderGreed 3 месяца назад

I'm going to have to do alot of painting to get some of my Spearhead equivalents to the tabletop. But I'm excited to get them ready! I just wonder if/how Sentinels will be handled. Since they crit Mortals on 6's with their Bows, Critting on 5's if Power of Hysh is successful. Which can be alot of damage, especially in a smaller scale mode where every point of damage hurts alot more. So I hope that they make Sentinels Crit Atuo-Wound instead of Crit Mortals. It'd be a nerf, yes, but it'd make the army more interesting to play with and against.

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

@@KamenRiderGreed I would imagine in Spearhead specifically that they may not have Crit (mortal) on their weapons OR they wouldn't have power of hysh available to cast.

@KamenRiderGreed 2 месяца назад

@@mysidia91From what I've heard after the recent preview events and some leaks. It seems like Sentinels will have Crit Auto-Wound in Spearhead at least. And we got even more Lumineth rules for main AoS in an exhibition match that happened recently. You can find them floating about if you look for them, I don't want to spoil the rules for you if you want to be fully surprised, or find out for yourself. But I will say this to fully follow up on your prediction: Power of Hysh is not a spell anymore, it's still around, but you'll need to make more of a decision if you want to be able to use it.

@KamenRiderGreed 3 месяца назад

Consider me pretty excited for Spearhead. I just hope the balance between factions is as good as GW claims. Apparently, when the Combat Patrol format launched for 40K, the balance between the existing boxes was very poor, to say the least. I think with the mechanic of reinforcement units that come back after death, and mechanics that delay or otherwise impede the abilities of more powerful units and monsters like Annihilators and Yndrasta in the Stormcast box, or the Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur in Seraphon I think will massively help with balance if done correctly. But we'll have to wait an see when we get the full rules.

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

I've heard 40k balance is bad too, and I have a hard time looking at some of the AoS boxes and believing they will be balanced, but we also don't know the rules yet. Cities of Sigmar for example have a Cav Marshall and Cavaliers combo which is killer but 1 unit of Steelhelms and a cannon are pretty underwhelming (I'm hoping artillery is buffed in 4th ed).

@TheBugB 3 месяца назад

This looks great

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

Agreed!

@Xabierum 3 месяца назад

I wonder if they will be releasing new spearhead boxes along the battletomes

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

I think they will if there are model refreshes (Cities of Sigmar for example) but I wouldn't be surprised if the Lumineth box stayed the same

@KamenRiderGreed 3 месяца назад

I expect that they will. At least, if 40K and their Combat Patrols are anything to go by.

I'm very excited for spearhead. Making special rules just for this game mode is perfect because the core rules are supposed to be balanced around 2000 point games. In 3rd edition, the calculation for getting a vanguard is "how many units do I need from that box?" For slaves to darkness, for example, chariots and the chaos lord aren't meta, so I don't want to buy it. But spearhead is one box and you're playing the game. Ok, chariots aren't meta, so you only use them for playing spearhead. Someday when you get up to 2000 points, you won't include the chariot. But that's fine because you only wanted the chariot to play in spearhead. If they had spearhead when I first found 3rd edition, I would have bought 1-2 spearhead boxes instead of spending 9 months waiting for a great deal on a secondhand army. It makes it so much easier to collect and teach to my friends as well. Having a playable "army" is a lot more exciting than just 580 points that could become an army someday.

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

Fully agree gamma, they definitely should have come up with this sooner than 4th edition. The buddy that I started the hobby with is already talking about which Spearhead box he'll want to get to try a new force out, and I'm excited to get my Lumineth on the table since I can't use them in 1000 pts as I focused on Cities of Sigmar. It's a really exciting mode, I wish I could go to the convention where they are going to be trialing it all weekend!

@matthangzhou-nq4ew 3 месяца назад

Getting really excited to try this. I recently bought AOS starter set but holding out learning the rules with 4th edition coming. I have the cities of Sigmar spearhead though so time to build that up and just need one more figure for FEC and that’ll be another spearhead ready

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

Welcome to the hobby! I'm getting 3rd Edition games in now and I think it's going to help me overall transition to the new edition. I'd recommend checking out Warcry if you haven't already. It's the smaller skirmish partner game to AoS and you can play it with your Cities or FeC models! It will get you into the flow of playing a tabletop wargame :D

@matthangzhou-nq4ew 3 месяца назад

@@mysidia91 thanks. I was looking into Warcry as often comes highly recommended but the current starter set looks really underwhelming. Will wait and see if a better version comes out or if it gets discontinued…

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

@@matthangzhou-nq4ew Don't worry about the starter sets, you can just play with any models that you own! My friend and I played Cities vs Seraphon on Monday and we just used our models and put random kitchen items on the table as terrain. It was really fun! Check out the Warcrier website, it has all the rules and you can make a list with any models from Age of Sigmar.

@matthangzhou-nq4ew 3 месяца назад

@@mysidia91 Cool thanks I’ll look into it! Shame they don’t those other sets that came with all that really cool terrain anymore. Hope it keeps being supported

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

@@matthangzhou-nq4ew Yes I agree! Those sets are terrific value

@TheRlyNewHide 3 месяца назад

Not really interesting for me at all. Creating your army list is a major part in playing Warhammer for me and that aspect is non-existent in spearhead. Having to play the same pre-defined army every time seems kind of boring to me.

@mysidia91 3 месяца назад

That's fair. I think most people will pick the full version of the game when possible, but sometime you might have time for a quick game or perhaps you want to get a friend into the game and this will be a solid way to do so. Or maybe you start a new army and its your first step into trying them out before you build 1000 pts or 2000 pts.
