SPEARHEAD
The Age of Sigmar grows fraught. On horizons yonder, the forces of Chaos
loom, threatening to engulf the Mortal Realms in mayhem and violence
once more. In the wake of these troubling times, Spearhead forces are
dispatched across the realms to seek out ancient sites of power that still
reside deep within the uncharted hinterlands. Will you take up the call to
battle and lead a Spearhead force to victory?

Welcome to the world of Spearhead. In this game mode, players engage in

small-scale battles that are fast and tactical, suitable for newcomers and
veterans alike. In Spearhead, each army is available as a self—contained
box set, allowing players to quickly muster a force. In addition, Spearhead
battles are fought upon a compact battlefield, meaning you can set up a game
even with limited space. Spearhead uses specially tailored rules to ensure
that every battle is a tense and exciting affair that comes right down to the
final moments.

SPEARHEAD BOX SETS

Fighting a Spearhead battle could not be easier. Each player picks their
army by choosing one of the many Spearhead box sets available. Each of
these is a complete army, including all the miniatures a player will need
to do battle. The rules for 25 different Spearhead box sets (pg 16—113)
:.“at,n.”
are included in this book, allowing you to get stuck in as soon as your
models are assembled.

SPEARHEAD BATTLEPACKS
Veteran players will notice similarities between the rules in Spearhead
battlepacks and those found in battletomes. However, they have been
tweaked to make sure they work specifically with Spearhead. This means
a battletome is not required to play Spearhead — all you need are the
Core Rules and a Spearhead battlepack, one of which you will find on the
following pages. This makes Spearhead the ideal format for newcomers to
Warhammer Age of Sigmar, as well as for players looking for a quick and
casual format with lots of re—playability and tactical depth.

 GETTING STARTED

([VEIH VEIJS Below is a handy step-by-step guide to help you prepare for your first few Spearhead battles. Following these
steps will help you get up and running with Spearhead in no time!

1. PICK A SPEARHEAD ARMY

In Spearhead, players use a fixed set of units called a Spearhead army that has its own rules and warscrolls. Each ‘
has a corresponding box set that contains all the models you need (see Spearhead Armies, pg 6).

. Every Spearhead army has a

‘ Spearhead box set and a set of
i I ,, ‘ , Spearhead rules. On pages 16-113,
D[AR ll A M Ml. ' a .’ you can find the rules for 25 different
\(n m ~H.\1'\_IL
Spearhead armies.

. Hailing from one of Warhammer

Age of Sigmar’s many factions, each
Spearhead army offers not only a
different set of miniatures but a
unique theme and playstyle.

. The first page of each set of

Spearhead rules details the lore of
the army and the units that make
it up. It also showcases an example
of the army that has been built
and painted by one of the studio
members, showing how simple but
effective painting methods can
result in a glorious—looking army
of your own!

\ 2. CHOOSE A REALM BATTLEFIELD i

Spearhead battles are fought on realm battlefields. Each side of a realm battlefield is themed around one of the 1“
eight Mortal Realms (see Realm Battlefields, pg 7).

the composition ofa Spearhead army is fixed and cannot be changed.

1.2 BATTLE TRAITS

Every Spearhead army has one or more battle traits. 'Ihese are powerful
and thematic abilities that apply to some or all of the units in the army.
For example, the ‘Holy Orders’ battle trait enables the Stormcast Eternals
to use powerful once-per-battle abilities to smite their foes, while the
‘Gnawhole Ambush’ battle trait allows Skaven warriors to arrive on the
battlefield behind enemy lines.

1.3 REGIMENT ABILITIES

Every Spearhead army has a choice of 2 regiment abilities, each of which
provides the army with a different strength in battle.

Every Spearhead army has a set of 4 enhancements to pick from. These
are upgrades for the army’s general that make them more powerful in a
variety of ways.

2. REALM BATTLEFIELDS
Spearhead battles are fought on realm battlefields. Once the players have
picked their Spearhead armies, they must agree on a realm battlefield to use.
Each realm battlefield comes with a matching Spearhead deck, along with a
battleplan that explains how to fight a battle on that realm battlefield.

A realm battlefield is 30" X 22" and double—sided, with each side

corresponding to a different Mortal Realm. The first realm battlefield is Fire
and Jade, which has one side representing Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, and the
reverse representing Ghyran, the Realm of Life.

3. SPEARHEAD DECKS
Spearhead decks are sets of cards that are used in Spearhead battles. Each Aqshy Twist Deck
realm battlefield has its own Spearhead deck. Each Spearhead deck consists
of 2 twist decks (one for each side of the realm battlefield) and 2 battle tactic
decks (one for each player).

m: builrruld

3.1 TWIST CARDS 1

Each twist deck is made up of twist cards. A twist is a special rule

that applies to the battle round being played. Each deck of twist cards
corresponds to a specific side of the realm battlefield.

3.2 BATTLE TACTIC CARDS

Each battle tactic deck is made up of battle tactic cards. The rules on
each are split into 2 parts: a battle tactic and a command. You can either
score the battle tactic at the end of your turn if you meet its conditions (to
gain victory points) or you can use the command on the card for a more
immediate benefit. You cannot do both, so choose wisely!

Each command will say when it can be used and what effect it has. After
the effect has been resolved, the card is discarded. You can issue multiple
commands to the same unit in the same phase.

‘1. SPEARHEAD BATTLEPLANS

Each realm battlefield has a corresponding battleplan. The battleplan is a set
of instructions on how to fight the battle and how to determine the winner.

You can find the battleplan for the Fire and Iade realm battlefield on
pages 12—13.

5. TERRAIN
In every Spearhead battle, the armies fight around 2 large terrain features and 2 small terrain features.

Before the armies are deployed, each player will set up 1 large terrain feature and 1 small terrain feature wholly
within their territory. Each terrain feature has certain passive abilities depending on its size:

Large Terrain Feature: Cover, Obscuring, Unstable

Small Terrain Feature: Cover, Unstable

COVER: Subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target a unit that is behind or wholly on this terrain feature,
unless that unit charged or has the FLY keyword.

OBSCURING: A unit cannot be targeted by shooting attacks ifit is behind or wholly on this terrain feature,
unless it has the FLY keyword.

UNSTABLE: Models can move across but cannot be set up on or end any type of move on any part of this terrain
feature that is more than 1" tall.

In Spearhead battles, objectives are printed on the surface of each realm
battlefield (the objective is the whole circle, not just the symbol in the centre).

6.1 CONTESTING OBJECTIVES

In Spearhead battles, while a model is on an objective (wholly or
partially), it is contesting it.

Each objective is named after a mythical godbeast, as shown below:

As the Hour of Ruin dawns, the fight to secure sacred sites and

vanguard forces to take and hold these places of power in the name of
their deities — or even the godbeasts of myth. So unpredictable are these
frontiers of war that the [and itself can lend its blessing to the chosen or
send wracking curses against those who incur its wrath.

PRE-BATTLE SEQUENCE
1. Roll off. The winner chooses who is the attacker and who is the defender.

2. The attacker picks their regiment ability and their enhancement.

Then the defender does the same.

3. The defender chooses which side of the realm battlefield the players will
fight on: Aqshy or Ghyran.

4. The defender picks 1 of the deployment maps on the right and chooses
which territory belongs to which player.

5. The defender sets up their terrain features, followed by the attacker.

Each terrain feature must be set up wholly within friendly territory, more
than 6" from all other terrain features and more than 3" from both long
battlefield edges and enemy territory. Terrain features cannot be set up

PREPARING THE SPEARHEAD DECK
, This battle uses the Fire and Iade Spearhead deck. One player takes the
twist deck that corresponds to the side of the battlefield the players are
fighting on, shuffles it and places it face down next to the battlefield (the
other twist deck is not used).

relies upon massed firepower and defence in depth, there are times when
Freeguild commanders must be more flexible. On occasions where the
deployment ofa full army corps is not viable, smaller formations such as
the Castelite Company will be dispatched to seize vital ground and defend it
against threats.

sturdy core, advancing into battle with shields locked together, relying on
discipline and faith to hold the line against whatever horror comes at them.
With this anvil in place, the process of breaking the enemy upon it can
begin. An Ironweld Great Cannon sends bone—shattering ordnance blasting
through the enemy ranks, while the Cavalier-Marshal leads a thunderous
counter—charge to sweep them from the field. Freeguild Cavaliers sing
Sigmarite battle-hymns as they crush the opposition beneath the grinding
hooves of their destriers or bash in their skulls with hammers and flails.

‘Steady yourselves, lads. Raise your shields and stir your spirits.

This Spearhead army consists
of the following units:

GENERAL
, Q Branchwych
,1
. A Bitterbark Copse is a gathering of Sylvaneth that channels the spirit-song
of Alarielle’s warlike Summer Aspect to purge the enemies of natural law.
They are led by a Branchwych, a vengeful creature of bark and briar that
cleaves through foes with their scythe. Fiercely protective of both their forest
and their kin, each Branchwych wields verdant magic that allows them to
weave sundered Sylvaneth barkflesh back together or add a thorned edge to
their enchanted weapons.
UNITS
O 1 Treelord Alongside them stride the wood—sinewed warriors of the Copse. Kurnoth
Q 3 Kurnoth Hunters Hunters fire with devastating accuracy from the back lines. They are
Q 5 Tree-Revenants uniquely in tune with the vibrations of the realmroots, allowing them to
draw upon Alarielle’s might wherever they might be. Defending them are
the Tree-Revenants, fey beings imbued with the memories of their fallen
ancestors, who have ever sought to protect natural places of power. With
centuries of experience to draw on, they are martial experts, able to switch
between attacking and defending with natural fluidity. Each Copse is also
accompanied by a Treelord, an ancient arboreal giant. Each one has lived for
untold years, growing ever taller, wiser and more fearsome in battle.

‘Our enemies’ corpses shall nourish the lands that they

sought to destroy.’

UNITS
Q 1 Chaos Chariot
When a worshipper of the Dark Gods has walked the Path to Glory,
conquering lands and slaughtering their rivals, they will eventually reach
the final obstacle that lies before their ascension to daemonhood. Such a
fell blessing requires dedication tenfold compared to what hardships came
before, and only feats ofthe most spectacular violence can hope to catch the
Dark Pantheon’s eyes. Thus will a newly crowned Chaos Lord strike out in
order to seek the bloodiest battles and raise their own despoiling armies.

Such cursed ranks can be spotted marauding across the realms with their
9 5 Chaos Warriors Chaos Lord at their head. With the Ruinous Powers watching their every
9 5 Chaos Warriors move, the Lord will cleave through front lines with their reaperblade,
0 5 Chaos Knights receiving bounteous blessings in exchange. The fighters that accompany this
champion are equal parts their soldiers and rivals, hoping to steal glory for
themselves. Alongside Chaos Warriors thunder Chaos Knights, towering
warriors atop gore—streaked steeds that shatter enemy formations with the
power of their charge. Should numerically superior foes seek to overwhelm
these elites, a rumbling Chaos Chariot will come to the fore. This heavy
war—carriage can bowl over and crush entire rows ofinfantry once it gathers
momentum, even as its riders lay about themselves with lash and spiked flail.

"Ihey will see me. Even ifI have to damn a million souls,
they will see me.’

dilute their ravenous frenzy. Ghouls are little given to strategy or complex
manoeuvres; they prefer to swarm in a rabid horde, trusting in ferocity to

renders them devoted to their lieges. Should an abhorrant vampire perform
deeds of bloodthirsty ‘valour’, their entourage will strive all the more

TYRANT’S BELLOW

This Spearhead army consists

of the following units:

GENERAL
0 Tyrant
When an ogor Tyrant wishes to make himself heard, he speaks through
his tribe’s most devastating weapon: an ancient great-cannon known as an
Ironblaster. Ogors have a special love for blackpowder artillery pieces, for not
only do they make a most satisfying roar when fired, but each volley blasts
enemies into smoking gobbets of flesh — half-cooked and ready for eating.
To own even a single Ironblaster is a mark of great prestige amongst the
mawtribes, and Tyrants protect their assets on the battlefield by surrounding
UNITS them with a retinue of their toughest fighters, known as a Tyrant’s Bellow.

O 4 Leadbelchers open. It is then that the guns ofthe Tyrant’s Bellow open up en masse — not
O 1 Ironblaster just the Ironblaster itself but also the cannons wielded by the Leadbelchers,
lit tapers dangling from their slavering lips. This storm of metal and fire
reduces almost everything in its path to charred carrion, much to the amused
delight of the Tyrant. Belly rumbling eagerly, the oversized warlord then
advances at the head of his favoured Gluttons, hacking into pieces those foes
that still stand and selecting the choicest cuts of scorched meat for himself.

‘Hear that roar? That’s the sound of me Ironblasters, callin’ us to

the feast tables.’

{ their foes regardless. One swing of their mammoth clubs or leathery feet
can knock down walls or crumple a line of pike-wielding ‘pipsqueaks’. If
their tiny foes scurry around out of reach, the gargant needs only to scoop
up a great boulder to hurl and splatter them like bugs. Most gargants bear
some kind of sack for carrying such delicacies around, as well as souvenirs
to brag of their battle prowess. As the Mancrushers are of similar stature,
competitions often erupt as to who can crush the most enemies. Some
smaller stomps change leadership regularly based on such rowdy contests.

3.0 FACTIONS
Each army belongs to a faction, e.g. Stormcast Eternals or Skaven.
Each faction has a set of faction rules, which include battle traits,
battle formations, enhancements and lores. These can be found in various
publications but most commonly in the faction’s battletome.

4.0 WARSCROLLS
The rules for each unit are contained on a warscroll:

~” ' J ' e KEYWORDS CORE, ATTACK, SHOOT

5.1 KEYWORDS
Some abilities have one or more keywords listed at the bottom ofthe
ability on their keywords bar, e.g. the ‘Shoot’ ability shown above has the
CORE, ATTACK and SHOOT keywords. Units also have a keywords bar on
their warscroll.

Keywords let you know which abilities can be used or which units can be
picked as targets for an ability. For example, the ‘Charge’ ability can only
be used by a unit ifit did not use an ability with the RUN or RETREAT
keyword earlier in the turn. The singular and plural forms ofa keyword
are synonymous for rules purposes.

5.2 USING ABILITIES

The timing of an ability tells you when it can be used. When using an
ability, follow these stepsi

l. Declare the Ability: Tell your opponent Which ability is being used. If
the ability has Declare instructions, resolve them at this step.

2. Use Reactions: Starting with the active player (see 12.0), the players
alternate using any abilities with an appropriate Reaction timing.

3- W EollO’wthe instructions in the Efiect part of

the ability ' ‘ 1 . ,_ ,

5.3 THE RULES OF ONE

- A unit cannot use more than 1 CORE ability per phase (see 14.0).
. A unit cannot use the same ability more than once per phase, unless
specified otherwise.
- A unit cannot be afiected by the same passive ability more than once
at the same time. For example, ifa unit is within range oftwo different
terrain features that have the ‘Cover’ passive ability, the effect only
applies to it once.

5.4 PASSIVE ABILITIES

Abilities that have the Passive timing are called passive abilities. Passive
abilities are not declared. The effects of passive abilities always apply if the
conditions of the ability are met, and they must be applied ifit is possible
to do so.

Ben and Ies are fighting a battle, and Ben’s Rat Ogors have charged into Ies’s Liberators. It is Ben’s turn to pick

Ben uses the ‘Fight’ ability. The first step is to resolve any Declare

When a model that is on a terrain feature moves, it can jump down mid-climb or mid-jump.
from the edge of the terrain feature to land on a lower part of the same
or a different terrain feature or to land on the battlefield. To do so,
you must trace the path of the model’s move to the edge of the terrain
feature. Then, that model can jump down any distance, but doing so
immediately ends their move. Models cannot end any kind of move
mid-jump — ifit is not possible to end the move as a result, that move
cannot be made.

As a model moves across terrain, its base is assumed to stay in contact

with the terrainfeature and parallel to the battlefield. Models can climb
up or down terrain. They canjump down too, but this ends their move.

15.3 PILE-IN MOVES

Some abilities, such as FIGHT abilities, allow a unit to make a short move
called a pile-in move to get into a better position for combat. To do so: O Pile in: move up to 3".

Weapon Abilities).

17.0 THE ATTACK SEQUENCE

Resolve steps 1-4 below for each attack made against a target unit, one attack
at a time. If you picked more than one target unit for the ATTACK ability,
resolve all the attacks made against one unit before moving on to the next, in
an order of your choosing. Once you are familiar with the attack sequence,
see ‘Fast Dice Rolling’ (see 17.3) if you want to speed up play.

Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.

3. Save Roll: The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the
attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save
rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of
the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a

17.1 ATTACK MODIFIERS AND CAPS
Modifiers to hit rolls, wound rolls and save rolls are capped to prevent
overwhelming combinations of abilities. When making a hit roll or a
wound roll, add up all positive and negative modifiers that apply to the
roll, then cap the result at a maximum of +1 (if positive) or a minimum of
—1 (ifnegative).

When making a save roll, add up all the positive and negative modifiers
that apply to the roll, then cap the result at a maximum of +1. Note that,
unlike hit rolls and wound rolls, there is no cap on the amount that can
be subtracted from save rolls.

17.2 MORTAL DAMAGE

Some abilities inflict mortal damage. Ifan ability inflicts mortal damage
on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for
that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).

17.3 FAST DICE ROLLING

In order to speed up play, it is often possible to make several attacks at
once. Ifyou choose to do so, all of the attacks must have the same Hit,
Wound, Rend and Damage characteristics, the same weapon abilities
(ifany — see 20.0), and they must target the same enemy unit. Ifthis is
the case, make all of the hit rolls at the same time, then all 0fthe wound
rolls and finally all 0fthe save rolls. Then, add up all the damage points
inflicted on the target unit and move on to the damage sequence (see 180).

lfthe attack sequence ends for an attack made while fast dice rolling, it
doesn’t stop the attack sequence for all the attacks, just that specific attack.

The bold advance ofthe Stormcast Eternals enrages apack ofRat Ogors, triggering a mad charge. These hulking Skaven
aim to tear apart theirfoes with brute strength andferocity before a counter-attack can be launched.
 18.0 THE DAMAGE SEQUENCE
After resolving the effect of any ability that inflicts damage points on a unit,

Stgmrum
follow the steps below. Ifthe ability inflicted damage points on more than
one unit, follow the steps below for each of those units, one at a time. Each
commander allocates damage points to their own units, in the order of their
choosing, starting with the active player.

1. Resolve ward saves for all damage points in the target unit’s damage pool,
if applicable (see 17.0).
2. Allocate the damage points in the unit’s damage pool and remove slain
models (see 18.3).

18.1 WARD SAVES ,

Units with the WARD keyword’have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The
number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward
save. Ifa unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If
a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest
value applies to it; the other has no effect.

WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural

toughness or a source ofmysticalprotection, these warriors can avoid
otherwise lethal attacks.

Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of
D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. Ifthe roll equals
or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the
damage pool.

18.2 ALLOCATING DAMAGE

After resolving the effect of any ability that inflicts damage points
(whether via attacks, mortal damage or both), you must allocate the
damage points.

When allocating damage points to a unit, the damage points in its

damage pool are allocated to it one at a time. Each time the number of
damage points allocated to the unit equals the Health characteristic
of that unit, 1 model in that unit is slain (and removed from play) and
the number of damage points allocated to that unit is reset to 0. Keep
allocating damage points until there are none left in the damage pool.

If the number of damage points allocated to a unit is not enough to slay a

model, keep track of the number of damage points currently allocated to
the unit (most players place a dice or markers next to the unit). While a
unit has any damage points allocated to it, it is damaged.

18.3 SLAIN MODELS

The commander ofa unit must pick which model(s) in the unit are slain.
However, after each slain model is removed, the unit must be in a single
coherent group (see 15.1). If this is not possible, continue to remove
models, one at a time, until the unit is in a single coherent group.

18.4 DESTROYED UNITS

When the last model in a unit is slain, the unit is destroyed and all
remaining damage points inflicted on that unit have no effect. Similarly,
if something causes a unit to be destroyed, all models in the unit are slain
and removed from play.

a token.

24:.0 SETTING UP UNITS

Some abilities allow you to set up a unit on the battlefield. When doing so, you
must set up all models in that unit. If this is impossible, you cannot use that
ability. A unit set up on the battlefield in a phase other than the deployment
phase cannot use MOVE abilities in the movement phase ofthe same turn.

24.1 RESERVE UNITS

Some abilities allow you to set up units in reserve. These units are placed
to one side instead of being set up on the battlefield. At the start of the
fourth battle round, units that were set up in reserve using a DEPLOY
ability and that are still in reserve are destroyed.

24.2 REPLACEMENT UNITS

Some abilities allow you to set up a replacement unit. When setting up Because a replacement unit is

Some warscrolls show a random characteristic roll instead ofa fixed
value. When this is the case, the value 0fthe characteristic is generated
by the commander 0fthe unit in question each time an ability requires
that characteristic.

In the case of random weapon characteristics, generate a random Attacks

characteristic for each model in the attacking unit each time you declare an
ATTACK ability, and generate a random Damage characteristic each time
you inflict damage with that weapon (roll once for each attack).

27.0 MODIFIER ORDER

'Ihe effects of some abilities modify a characteristic or roll. Unless stated
otherwise, a characteristic or roll cannot be modified to less than 1. The
exception to this is Rend, which can be modified to a minimum ofO (‘3).

Ifa characteristic uses a random characteristic roll (see above), apply

characteristic modifiers after that characteristic has been generated.

Ifa characteristic or roll is halved or would be modified to a value that is not

a whole number, round it down to the nearest whole number.

Apply characteristic modifiers in the following order:

1. Modifiers that set a characteristic to a fixed value.

2. Modifiers that multiply or divide a characteristic.
3. Modifiers that add to or subtract from a characteristic.

If there are multiple modifiers of the same type (eg. that set a characteristic),
apply them in the Order of Effects (see 30.0).

the effects of other abilities and rules.

The effects of the active player’s passive abilities are considered to be applied
more recently than the effects of their opponent’s passive abilities, whose
passive abilities are considered to be applied more recently than the effects
of neutral passive abilities (e.g. passive abilities on a terrain feature that is in
neither player’s army). The active player chooses the order in which neutral
passive effects are applied.
