The new Spearhead Starter Box: an ideal gateway to Age of Sigmar

With the arrival of the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the Spearhead format is emerging as a modern and accessible solution for discovering the hobby. Designed for fast-paced and dynamic games, the new Spearhead starter box — including the recent City of Ash version — marks an important evolution in the way the game is approached.

A format designed for accessibility

Spearhead mode is designed to offer shorter and easier to pick up encounters. Unlike classic formats that are sometimes demanding in terms of time and miniatures, it allows you to play games of about an hour with lighter rules, while maintaining a real strategic depth.

This philosophy is fully reflected in the starter box, which aims to make the experience smooth from the first game, whether you are a beginner or a casual player.

Rich, play-ready content

The new Spearhead box, like City of Ash, offers particularly generous content:

• Two complete armies ready to play (e.g. Cities of Sigmar vs. Skaven)
• Approximately 40 detailed figures to assemble
• A double-sided game board
• Elements of the field
• Game Cards and Objectives
• A rulebook of about 70 pages

This type of box set allows you to play immediately after editing, without requiring large additional purchases, making it a great place to start.

An experience designed for two players

One of the great things about this box is its "all-in-one" orientation. It is ideal for initiating a friend or family member, since two balanced forces are included. Each player can discover the mechanics of the game in optimal conditions.

The scenarios feature narrative confrontations, reinforcing the immersion in the fantastic world of the Mortal Realms.

A modern approach to wargaming

Spearhead isn't just a simplified version: it's a real subgame with its own mechanics. Unlike other "lite" formats, it offers a complete experience, designed from the outset to be fast, readable and strategic.

This makes it a credible alternative for experienced players who want faster games, without sacrificing tactical interest.

Who is this box for?

The Spearhead starter box is aimed at several profiles:

• Beginners: to learn the basics without being overwhelmed
• Casual players: for quick and accessible games
• Veterans: for a variety of formats and more often

It is also an excellent basis for later developing a full army.
