Spearhead - City of Ash

Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Spearhead: City of Ash

In the smoking ruins of Embergard – better known as the City of Ash – a merciless battle rages. Led by the reckless Jorvan Kreel, hardened Freeguild soldiers fight to secure precious emberstone, a magical resource vital to the war for the Mortal Realms. But danger lurks in the shadows: the Skaven of Clans Eshin, masters of assassination. With the infamous Deathmaster Crixxit hunting Kreel, the stage is set for a deadly confrontation in a city long thought lost.

Spearhead gameplay and box contents
This box is designed as a complete Spearhead experience and contains everything you need to play immediately. You get two fully balanced armies: the steadfast warriors of the Cities of Sigmar against the lightning-fast and deadly Skaven assassins.

The play styles contrast sharply:

• Cities of Sigmar rely on discipline, firepower, and cooperation

• Clans Eshin focus on speed, stealth, and targeted elimination of key figures

This makes every game tactical and dynamic, ideal for both new players and experienced generals looking for fast-paced, narrative battles.
