Perfect for Spearhead Format Gaming
Spearhead represents Age of Sigmar's most accessible game format, designed for fast-paced battles that can be completed in under an hour. This Maggotkin force has been specifically balanced and tested against all other Spearhead armies, ensuring competitive, nail-biting games every time. The streamlined rules remove complex army building decisions while maintaining the tactical depth that makes Age of Sigmar compelling.
Army Strengths and Playstyle
The Maggotkin of Nurgle excel at attrition warfare and objective control. Their signature mechanics include:

Disease Spreading: Units can infect enemies with the DISEASED keyword, creating expanding zones of contamination
Exceptional Durability: High wound counts and defensive abilities make these units incredibly tough to eliminate
Strategic Resilience: Ward saves and damage reduction help your forces outlast opponents in prolonged engagements

This army rewards patient, methodical gameplay focused on controlling key battlefield positions while your diseases gradually wear down enemy forces.
Modeling and Customization Opportunities
These kits are renowned for their exceptional detail and conversion potential. The Putrid Blightkings especially offer tremendous customization options with various weapon choices, poses, and decorative elements. Abundant Nurgling details, severed heads, and decay effects allow for unique personalization of each model. The high-quality multipart plastic construction ensures clean assembly while providing flexibility for kitbashing and modifications.
Value and Expansion Path
Purchasing this Spearhead set provides significant savings compared to buying individual kits separately. It serves as an ideal foundation that can easily expand into larger Matched Play armies by adding additional units like Great Unclean Ones, Nurglings, or more specialized troops.
Whether you're drawn to Nurgle's jovial approach to apocalypse, love painting weathered and diseased models, or want to master a unique tactical playstyle focused on durability and board control, this Spearhead set delivers an outstanding gaming experience from your very first battle.
