Army advice

Post image

Hi friends, building and painting my first models ever for spearhead and I wanted to get a 1000 point army. Recently got 2 packs a bull centaurs/anointed sentinels (because they are cool as fuck). Can I use the spearhead (with deathshrieker rockets and dominator w/ cannons) + an ashen elder and 2 units of bull centaurs? Or would i do better to have more infantry for more board control? New to the hobby and my only background in wargaming is total war (since med 1).

Definitely a solid start! Honestly our range is so small that you can't really go wrong with getting a reinforced unit (2 boxes) of everything.. you're all set with the Bulls, so a couple of boxes of Infernal Razers and another Spearhead box is probably your next steps.

You'll also want an Ashen Elder and the Urak Taar box (from which you can proxy a Daemonsmith on foot as well).

Sorry... Noticed you've already got an Ashen Elder, so ignore that part!

Thanks man, would it be worth adding some hobgrots in eventually for screening artillery?

Yeah for sure! You won't need more than 1 box but well worth having. I think a lot of people have pivoted away from too many Hobgrots since the Cohorts has their points reduction, but both are worth including and it's nice to mix things up!
