PLEASE MORE AOS! My own interest in AOS aside, I feel like Age of Sigmar 4th Edition is being really well recieved everywhere and it feels like the game itself has a LOT of momentum in terms of peoples interest. Plus Spearhead looks like SUCH a fun game format! Might use it to try and get my friends into the hobby!
My only real criticism so far is the MASSIVE model and faction dump they did. Otherwise, I will admit this edition seems to run smoothly. I am curious how things will proceed further. Also if we get new models/units what they will curtail. Kinda hoping we get a plastic dreadsaurian for the Seraphon.
@@stephenjenkins7971 Agreed. They are a popular faction within the AoS community and regularly show up in tournaments. Plus they have some of the best rulebooks flavor wise. Not to mention are a great contrast to the Seraphon. Why GW never fully embraced them is beyond me. Last edition they did BoC dirty with all the hype they were doing for them making people think they were going to get new characters and all we got was a beast lord re-sculpt.
@@redwillow1853 Issue is more GW's obssession with not double dipping in different game systems. Beastmen could either be in AoS or TOW, but not both. Since Beastmen didn't get their update yet, it seems TOW got them. It must've been a last second decision, since the AoS team was building them up well.
@@stephenjenkins7971 Either way their handling of the situation was trash. Hyping an army you plan to remove is cheeky at best, scummy at worst. Hopefully they learned their lesson and will do better in the future.
@@Alpharius2479the full game is not designed for that type game play. The 3 cards that you draw in Spear Head is what makes each match so tightly knit.
@@Alpharius2479 in third, yes. Depends of army, battleplan, situation. But double turn is a mechanic that can turn a game if the opponent did not prepared or if you made a gamble
"I hit!" "How much damage?" "Oh, one moment. One d3 makes, ... two damage!" raises hand "Six-up invul. Saved." You could see he wanted that chariot gone so sone. : )
Those "Warp Crystals" were from the studios debut game Skaven vs Stormcast. Did you not notice JT pluck the Skaven from it at the start of the match @1:44?
I love your spearhead playtime :D and look very much forward to see more of your spearhead battles. Would love to see Kruleboyz and Ironjawz featured at one point
It makes me so unbelievably happy to see you guys playing more aos, I've been a huge fan of your channel for years and as much as I love 40k aos is by far my favourite so it's really nice to see more big warhammer channels giving it some love, keep playing on ❤❤
Take it easy man that little fluffy wuffy rat just wanted all the warps that he could carry. After all warp stone is there cocaine, fuel, and currency in that universe.
I can do a sudo tutorial. Basically, instead of choosing battle tactikz (sorry my inner kruleboyz took over), you each draw 3 from a special “spearhead” pile of bt cards. You can choose to not try to score the tactics, but instead use there respective command ability. for more info, read the aos official site, they have it all written down.
Loving your content. Top quality and easy to understand for a new player like me. Just playing my first spearhead game this weekend after I painted all the skaventide box.
This was so fun to watch! Acting and fooling around makes me laugh and cheer for your miniatures. Much less serious than those "mechanic" 40k battles where just numbers are thrown around and it feels like watching a math exam. And of course, more AOS please !!!
Hate to be the one to point out mistakes in an old video, but Eye of the Gods (the ability that gives the chaos blessings) only triggers at end of turn if a unit destroys an enemy unit, or is contesting an objective not controlled by your opponent and isn’t in combat.
Love these AoS videos. Keep them coming. Quick note, Prosecutors do 2 damage on the charge, not 1, so they should have cleared that unit they initially charged at the start of the fight.
I've never played a tabletop game, I've seen your videos on 40k but lately the AOS games I've been seeing is kind of making me want to really pick that up. They just look way more dynamic.
Spearhead looks cool. I'm still building my first 40k army (votann) but now I'm tempted to also build a spearhead box. (kharadron overlords? space dwarfs to sky dwarfs?) brb gonna go annoy my friends to also build spearheads
The only faction that is in the rules but does not have a Spearhead yet is I believe Ironjaws. Unless you are talking about Beasts of Chaos, in which case, RIP.
Are these armies pre-built or are they customizable? I'm assuming the former considering that's how Combat Patrol worked but don't know if there's some house rules going on.

I've noticed that in AOS compared to 40k come backs are actually possible.
I wonder if that holds true for full sized games not just spearhead?
I’m think you can make a comeback in 40k on points but once your army has a real bad turn, it tends to be a snowball effect not a back and forth.
@@Alpharius2479the full game is not designed for that type game play. The 3 cards that you draw in Spear Head is what makes each match so tightly knit.
The "comeback" was the turn three swing round that happens very often in 40k

That Chariot's back must be hurting from all that carrying it did.
While I love all the guests and regulars on Play on, there is just no one like Stephen Box. Love to see him every time.
You are far too kind
I’m glad you made the change to having the battle tactics remain secret to the other playerz
Yes! Love the change!

Gotta say AoS kinda looks like more fun than 40K now :D
Agreed. Looks fundamentally and mechanically just... Better, eekk
@@mattyno964 spearhead is good fun
It is
"I know you have a blindfolded on but youre useless"
AoS is so much fun to watch! lately in 40k I feel like it's almost always quite one-sided unfortunately
YESSSS more AOS has arrived. I want more pretty please
Sweet! More AOS please
The excitement when he attacked the chariot just stomped out with the finger and " hold 6 up ward" was so funny.
"I hit!"
"How much damage?"
"Oh, one moment. One d3 makes, ... two damage!"
raises hand
"Six-up invul. Saved."
You could see he wanted that chariot gone so sone. : )
“Never take Lord Veritant” 😂😂😂
So against those green gems on the battlefield. But more spearhead, more!!?

Loving the AOS spearhead! Moremoremoremoremore
Any chance y'all could do a tutorial game with how exactly Spearhead works for those of us who just purchased our first sets because of the new mode.

Hahaha i like the litle skaven goming out be like : yeah this is not my place.
Stephen is my favorite member of Play On Tabletop now.
Always has been.
Hell YES, I love seeing more AoS on this channel
Ey, its not Flesh-eater courts, but still fun to see some more AoS factions in action. Looks at Lord Veritant - WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS! xD
Flesh Eater Courts are coming. I made the banner for it to look like skin and it's gross.
@@benwaardenburgYES FEC COMING LET THE MAD KING RULE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You love to see the good guys winning 🙏
Please more AoS!
More Box? Yes please!!
Did Stephen move to canada or did they just shoot a truckload of reports when he was over there?
@@dmeepthe latter, we make him work when he’s here at the studio
@@benwaardenburgwork me like a dog
Yes i need more box content
I am 100% here for Spearhead. Ossiarch Bonereapers one of these days???
Nah I won't get greedy, except asking for more Spearhead videos, that is
I agree, it time someone paid their taxes
Patiently waiting for idoneth deepkin. Love the aos content
Agree
You guys make this so entertaining to watch! Great job as always

@5:07 you did not score that battle tactic as it requires you to have fought with 2 units to do so. You only faught with 1.
The difference of that point decided the underdog in the next turn, too, and gave that chaos character charge (+1 dmg) as well
Great video! I love this Format, Thank you
JT: you forgot the Warriors passive ability Bringers of Desolation during the very first fight of the game. 😢
As a 40K player that’s already too financially invested in 40k…it’s so frustrating how fun AoS looks
Great report! Spearhead looks like a fun time.
That was some serious dice drama! Spearhead really is as good as folks say it is.
Love these AoS videos. Keep them coming. Quick note, Prosecutors do 2 damage on the charge, not 1, so they should have cleared that unit they initially charged at the start of the fight.

these two armies look so amazing lined up against each other
That round 4 battle tactics draw was impressive, both getting the _exact_ same. Seems like the gods want to test who has the better servants 🤔
Reminds me my first game with my cousin, it was his first game but I was rolling ones all the time
Big fan of spearhead.
That was fun and those models are pretty badass!
Now that Slave to darkness box is becoming very tempting
Let the powers of the dark gods flow through you! Embrace the Chaos!
This sh&* has single handedly brought me back to the channel 👏
1:24 I've been reforged to many times
The dead pan its BRILLIANT
Edit, also 24:00
Love Spearhead, this was a really entertaining game!
Spearhead really is a fantastic game mode, have you had a chance to try it out yet?
Loving the AoS! Would love to see Tycho on some fantasy nurgle, or Mr Initiative on some `Ard ladz! Thanks for all your awesome content!
32:14 maybe if the muppet had taken of his blindfold he might have been able to hit something
I really wish you guys would do painting tutorials... I love they way you make your models look.
Love this!
Oooooo 🥁🥁🥁
Are y'all willing to reveal where your music came from? I love the music that you chose to represent each force at the start of their turns!
Spearhead looks cool. I'm still building my first 40k army (votann) but now I'm tempted to also build a spearhead box. (kharadron overlords? space dwarfs to sky dwarfs?)

I don't play AOS, but this was a great game.
I love the vids guys! My I wish for a spearhead game with Ogor Mawtribes?
I love the music intros for the stormcast! Was that custom made?!
I love y’all playing one another from other channels
Awesome!
Epic Battle!
Slaves if darkness are so beautiful
The pile of warp crack really doesn’t do well with based minis. It’s not a permanent fixture, is it? 👀
I’m glad you said it. It really kind of annoys me. I mean, it’s not my game and not my models, so whatever.
@@shinankoku2 Yeah I’m not going to go in hard on it. Just weird to have a deliberately unstable piece of scenery.
How many ads can you fit in a battle report? Yes.
31:49 the spears are d3 damage when thrown
Would love to see the Gloomspite Gitz get a game
Fellow gitz enjoyer? Whats your list?
these videos are gold
Is there no army list?
The lists are premade for Spearhead.
Look up “vigilant brotherhood spearhead” and “slaves to darkness spearhead”
i love this terain
still learning about AoS, but the stormcast feel very necromantic since they are just repeatedly recycled warriors.
Would love to see a Hedonites game if you have the models for it!
Woot woot!!!
12:10 did you forget to do the horse attacks?
It will never get old listening to Stephen pronounce the names wrong constantly
It’s painful I know, imagine being me
@@VanguardTactics Ah yes, Vingord Turktans ;)
Do you think AoS turn rules would help 40k "whoever goes first wins"? Curious to try it in 40k games
Man, the old liberators looked so much better...
Awesome content!
this battlefield looks as cool as it is annoying hahah awesome batrep guys !
Omg Stephen is hilarious
I’d say I try, but I really don’t.
Did I miss something? Why was "do not waver" scored? A prosecutor died, didnt it?
this video was literally don't come to a swordfight with a blindfold and a stick.
McLaughlin Stravenue
33:18 He did kill the chariot
I keep seeing all these cool Spearhead battles and going "Wow, this looks fun!"
And then I remember my faction doesn't get one, because GW hates us :(
Which faction?
The only faction that is in the rules but does not have a Spearhead yet is I believe Ironjaws. Unless you are talking about Beasts of Chaos, in which case, RIP.
my favorite faction! slaves to darkness. or STDs 😅
Man why is it the models of sigmar look so sick compared to 40k models? The Thousand Sons are the only ones with effects.
Are these armies pre-built or are they customizable? I'm assuming the former considering that's how Combat Patrol worked but don't know if there's some house rules going on.
They are pre-built. But it looks like many factions will have multiple ones.
Did I miss the redeployment of the prosecutors?
Feeney Freeway
I know you have a blindfold, but this is ridiculous.
Poor Stephen!
Amazing. Though no forgiveness for murdering poor Bugbeak. Shame JT!
I noticed in the rules unit coherency is 1/2 inch. There were some points in the game this might've not been the case, is there a rule I'm missing?
I know the persecutors have a 2in coherency range
Archeon is better than Abaddon
Cool battlereport, but some visual effect are frustrate with misinformation (mostly pos of point score or who attack who). Great job!
Myrtis Route
More spearhead!
