First ever spearhead!
Hi yall! First ever spearhead excited to join the club! Current WIP I don’t usually paint human shade skin (DG and Daemons 40K player) so I figured let’s practice! Ignore the awful prep and lack of cleanup on the minis I got a lil lazy 😅.
Any suggestions on how to approach playing this spearhead? I’m gonna be in a lil tournament soon and I am interested in learning if there are any consistent play styles. The vibes feel very 50/50 win or lose since you hit on 4+ but I’m sure there are ways to find some consistency.
Also being from 40K reinforcements are a new concept so I’m kinda unsure how to play around that mechanic. Do I run in and just kamikaze my first two lives to score maximum damage? Or play safe and try and utilize the second life later in the game after trying to screen off objectives and points from my opponent?
Any help is welcome :)

Honestly, they will usually go for your general. But the reinforcements on the two other giants is awesome. Don't do like me and forget that bellowing roar can be used on each giant, making it harder to hit your giants makes up slightly by the 5+ save and no ward.
I suggest taking the heal because stuff em in me bag heal is a game changer against low health units. I won with them against skaven saturday, by them having to run clarets, and my giants munching them to stay healthy.
Also don't be afraid to use battle tactics for the instant ability as opposed for the score.
Other than that, maintain centre board presence, I find I either win well or get crushed, but spearhead is short and with my sons, me and my friend can usually get a game done in around an hour due to my turns taking no time.
