The Complete Fantasy Wargame in a Box

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Spearhead boxes are one of the easiest ways to start collecting, painting, and playing Age of Sigmar. Unlike many starter products, Spearhead is a complete game format in its own right, with dedicated armies, organised play, leagues, and tournaments built around the system.

Whether you're completely new to Age of Sigmar, returning to the hobby after a break, or looking to start a new faction, Spearhead offers a lower-cost entry point, fewer models to build and paint, and exciting games packed with tactical decisions.

At Mighty Melee Games, we stock a wide range of Age of Sigmar Spearhead boxes with up to 20% off RRP, fast UK dispatch, and the backing of a community-focused dedicated wargaming venue with organised play and proper retail support.

What Is Spearhead?

Spearhead is a dedicated Warhammer Age of Sigmar game format built around specially designed Spearhead forces. Games use streamlined rules, balanced armies, and dynamic objectives to create exciting battles that are easy to learn while still offering plenty of tactical depth.

Played on a compact battlefield with self-contained armies, Spearhead delivers fast-paced games without sacrificing meaningful decision-making. Every faction brings its own unique play style, making the format accessible to new players while remaining engaging for experienced generals.

More Than a Starter Format

While Spearhead is an excellent way to begin your Age of Sigmar journey, it has rapidly established itself as one of the best tabletop wargaming formats available today. Balanced forces, compact battlefields, and engaging objectives create fast, tactical games that are easy to learn but difficult to master.

At Mighty Melee Games, many players choose Spearhead as their primary way to play. The format supports meaningful competitive play, exciting casual games, and a thriving organised-play scene without requiring the time, expense, or model count of a full-sized army.

Whether you're looking for a complete game in a single box or a faster alternative to traditional Age of Sigmar battles, Spearhead delivers an outstanding hobby and gaming experience.

Many players at Mighty Melee Games choose Spearhead as their primary way to play Age of Sigmar. The format has developed a thriving local community, with regular gaming nights, dedicated Spearhead leagues, organised play events, and RTTs throughout the year.

Whether you're looking for a complete hobby experience in a single box or a faster alternative to full-sized Age of Sigmar battles, Spearhead offers one of the best tabletop gaming experiences available today.

Play Spearhead at Mighty Melee Games

Spearhead has become one of the fastest-growing game systems at Mighty Melee Games. Alongside our full Age of Sigmar community, we host dedicated Spearhead leagues, organised play events, community gaming days, and regular RTTs.

Located in Market Drayton, Mighty Melee Games welcomes players from across Shropshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Telford, Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe, Nantwich, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Whitchurch, and the wider West Midlands region.

Whether you're bringing your first Spearhead or preparing for your next event, you'll find a welcoming community, great tables, and plenty of opportunities to get games in.

Perfect for Home Gaming

Games of Spearhead are played on a compact 30" x 22.4" battlefield — roughly a quarter of the size of a standard Age of Sigmar table. This makes Spearhead ideal for kitchen tables, dining tables, hobby spaces, and gaming nights at home.

With smaller armies and quicker setup times, Spearhead offers one of the most accessible ways to enjoy tabletop wargaming without needing a large collection, dedicated gaming room, or extensive terrain collection.

Expand Into Age of Sigmar – If You Want To

Every miniature included in a Spearhead box can be used in full-sized Age of Sigmar armies. For many hobbyists, Spearhead becomes the first step towards larger armies, narrative campaigns, leagues, and tournaments.

However, unlike many starter formats, Spearhead is also a complete game in its own right. You can happily collect multiple Spearheads, enjoy dedicated events and leagues, and never feel the need to move beyond the format unless you want to.

Which Spearhead Should I Buy?

The best Spearhead is usually the faction that excites you most. You'll spend far more time building, painting, and collecting your army than comparing statistics online.

Whether you are drawn to the Stormcast Eternals, Skaven, Soulblight Gravelords, Orruk Warclans, Slaves to Darkness, Seraphon, Cities of Sigmar, Gloomspite Gitz, or any of the other factions of the Mortal Realms, there is a Spearhead to suit your preferred play style and hobby goals.

If you're unsure where to start, join our community and ask. Our regular players can help you choose a faction based on gameplay, hobby difficulty, competitiveness, and long-term collecting potential.
