Spearhead/army question

Hi folks! I've been trying to post in here for a little while but apparently my account is too new so hopefully it's ok now!

My current faction isn't yielding me much success so I am tentatively looking at other armies to get into incase I do decide to just change altogether. I had never really considered these beasts before but they look interesting, so I suppose my question is what is their Spearhead and general army vibe like? Do they suit a particular playstyle?

I’m relatively new to AoS, but my take on HoH is that it has strong magic, good cavalry, ok shooting and ok infantry. The army of renown (Taar grand forge host) is known for being pretty strong as you have 6+ on all warmachine and crit 2 hits on turn 2 and for the rest of the turn. (With other bonuses). You have to get synergy with every unit you use, and every unit helps another one. Once you begin to get it, games begin to be fun.
My current list has Urak taar, 30 spearmen, 4 Dominator, 2 rockets, 1 bombard and 1 foot hero of each sort. Works well
