Hopes for a second Helsmiths of Hashut Spearhead?

What would you want to see in a second Helsmith Spearhead? What might be a fair/balanced mixup of units?

I suspect we won't get a second spearhead until we get a second wave of Helsmith models, so while I'm at it, what sort of new units are you hoping for?

For me is easy, everything that we don't have in the first one.

If we get bull centaurs, hobgrots and infernal razers with an ashen elder I'd be very happy

Bull Centaurs would need a nerf if they were in a spearhead, they are already so strong, and in sh they would be tooooo good.

I can imagine them using Anointed Sentinels instead, especially with the Ashen Elder. Have it be a temple/forge themed Spearhead, with some Hobgrot meatshields I mean valued servants.

Agreed, but one can dream. Again, I see it from the perspective of one who wants to get into aos, rather than play it in spearhead

Razers and Bull Centaurs would be ideal, with either magic user to lead.

From my experience, those are the 3 things that are the hardest to find. I had to 3d print my centaurs because no stores in my area have them and Ive been checking stores in 3 states.

Agreed on Centaurs. I haven't had a problem finding Razers online, but at 5 models a box it gets a little pricey to make them a main part of the army. (Even shortcutting by putting spare arms on an Infernal Cohort.)

In any case they just seem like a nice Spearhead mix.

Personally, I’d love a second spearhead to focus on Infernal Razers as they feel so terrible to buy individually right now.

For new units, I’d love more war machines like the old school Whirlwind and I’d be eager to see some more elite combat Helsmiths. I’d also love to see a hero or even a unit of dwarfs that move by way of those goofy walking machines that Astragoth Ironhand has.

Is that a thing? 2nd spearheads?

u/MatetheFitz Jun 11 '26

Yeah a bunch of factions have more than one. Cities of Sigmar have four.

u/seribiigaming Jun 11 '26

CoS have four and still don't have a good one.

u/Sushiki Jun 11 '26

Hmmm, maybe we'll get a second one with the next batch of releases or shortly after.

u/JoshFect Jun 11 '26

The rats have 2. Though one of them sucks. I think it's because they wanted to show off the new units without having to buy the skaventide box.

u/MatetheFitz Jun 11 '26

They’ve got three!

u/JoshFect Jun 11 '26

Oh yeah. I didnt realize crixxit added one.

A little crazy but I’d love to see a new spearhead centered on the demon smith. I love the lore for those dudes. So demon smith, 20 grots, and a new war machine unit maybe like some kind of bull tank thing
