For me, Warhammer was a property that I really didn’t become fully introduced to until I was in college, ahem, 20 years ago. One of my roommates had quite the collection of miniatures and the layouts for tabletop battlefields that he managed to transport to campus, ready to share with his friends. Since then, my love of Warhammer has expanded to other tabletop experiences, video games, and the enduring dark fantasy franchise’s other iterations, including novels and comic books. With so much Warhammer around, including Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy, one of the more exciting branches of the franchise is Warhammer Age of Sigmar, which has been a growing part of the legacy since 2015.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar takes place in the Mortal Realms after the world of Warhammer Fantasy has been devastated by a cataclysmic incident. This leads to the rise of new factions and realms that plunge into warfare as depicted in the variety of games, adding a new era of lore and memorable miniatures to engage in battle through tabletop sets. Leading the expansion of Warhammer Age of Sigmar is Hachette Partworks, which has launched an exciting new collection perfect for longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise alike.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Spearhead, is a new series from Hachette that chronicles the game and its many distinct units in meticulous detail. Each issue contains tutorials on how each unit can be used effectively on the tabletop battlefield, customization guides recommending how the individual units can be painted and detailed with the official Warhammer-approved paints, brushes, and tools, and a section unveiling the lore in how each unit fits within the wider mythos of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
