What is Spearhead?
Spearhead is a new game format for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, where you use self-contained, existing boxes of miniatures to play fast and furious games with streamlined rules and nail-biting finishes.
There are a number of differences between full-sized Matched Play games and Spearhead, which has been designed to make the game accessible but retain rich tactical depth. It’s a brilliant stand-alone game and a fantastic primer of what you can expect from full-scale battles of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
Spearhead’s footprint is also dramatically smaller than that of a full game, played on a board measuring 30″ x 22.4″ – that’s a quarter the size of a full battlefield, and the perfect size to play on a kitchen or coffee table.
Existing Vanguard and Spearhead Boxes
Each faction’s Spearhead force is created from the contents of a single box – and all currently available Vanguard boxes will be rebranded as Spearhead boxes.** As these sets contain different quantities of models, Spearhead has its own dedicated warscrolls and faction rules, and introduces new mechanics to balance each force against one another. The Warhammer Studio has put tremendous effort into this balance, and as a result every game you play comes down to a knife-edge!
All faqs are in play leading up to the event and any army rules that are released up to the Monday before the event.
Judging : If players have a rule dispute that requires a judge decision, all relevant information may need consulting. To save time a roll off or a rules as intended decision could be made in the moment. Ask questions ahead of time where applicable for best results.
Modeling
1. There is no paint requirement although always encouraged, we want to welcome everyone to play, including new players or armies.
2. Base size rule is only that it must be no bigger or smaller than the orginal base size it came with or its current version. We don't want players not coming because they haven't rebased their armies from 25mm to 32mm, nor if they have the original square bases (daemon players).
3. Doors open at 11, we roll dice at11:30, it will be a long day of gaming with 2 1/2 hour rounds we need to be on time, please provide enough time to get settled and registered before we start at 11:30 am.
4. If a player wishes to use chess clocks at any given time in a match, if they have the clock available to use they may apply it to the game. If applied mid game divide the remaining time.

5. 100% of the entry fees will go back into the prize pool, the more players the more prizes will be awarded!
6. WYSIWYG is not required. All that is asked is that your models are not confusing to your opponent. You should be able to discern a sergeant equivalent in a unit, and distinguish one unit from the other that are the same type. Being organized and distinguishable with who holds what powers and wargear etc. "Counts as" are respectable if it is a legitimate model on a qualifying base size.
