Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-force Spearhead battle box for fast, tactical Age of Sigmar games | Jorvan Kreel’s Sentinels of Embergard face off against Crixxit’s Kill-Pack in a highly thematic set with strong visual contrast and scenario appeal | Medium | A great pick if you want a self-contained way to start playing Spearhead while also building two highly characterful collections |
Age of Sigmar: Spearhead: City of Ash
Age of Sigmar: Spearhead: City of Ash throws two very different forces into the ruins of Embergard in a box built for sharp, replayable battles. On one side stand the determined warriors of the Cities of Sigmar under Jorvan Kreel, while on the other lurk the deadly Skaven of Crixxit’s Kill-Pack. The result is a set that works brilliantly as an entry point for new players, but also delivers real appeal for collectors and painters thanks to its dramatic setting, distinct factions and memorable centerpiece characters.
Age of Sigmar: Spearhead: City of Ash
- A complete Spearhead head-to-head box with two full forces built around Cities of Sigmar and Skaven
- Strong narrative atmosphere set in the ruined city of Embergard, where disciplined defenders clash with lethal skaven infiltrators
- Excellent value for new players, collectors and painters thanks to its distinct forces, fresh visuals and ready-to-play focus
Two factions, two completely different battlefield identities
City of Ash is compelling because both sides feel immediately different. The Cities of Sigmar force leans into determination, structure and control, giving players a grounded and heroic army identity. The Skaven side feels fast, dangerous and disruptive, perfect for players who enjoy pressure, trickery and sudden momentum swings. That contrast makes the box easy to understand for beginners while still offering enough variety to stay interesting over repeated games.
Where City of Ash fits in
City of Ash is designed for Spearhead, the smaller-format way to play Age of Sigmar that focuses on quicker, more accessible battles without losing faction identity. That makes it an excellent choice for learning the game, introducing a friend or adding a focused side project to a larger collection. Because both forces come in the same box, it also makes sense as a home play set or a stylish starting point for expanding into full armies.
Why City of Ash stands out
- You get two full opposing Spearhead forces in one purchase, which makes it easy to start playing right away
- The Cities of Sigmar and Skaven offer a strong visual and tactical contrast, giving the box real replay value and hobby depth
- It combines gameplay appeal, collector interest and painting variety in a way that feels far richer than a standard single-unit kit
What kind of matchup this box creates
- Cities of Sigmar: Best for players who enjoy a more disciplined, structured approach. This side rewards control, measured pressure and holding key ground with confidence.
- Skaven: Perfect for players who like speed, disruption and a more predatory playstyle. This side feels slippery, opportunistic and dangerous when the tempo shifts in its favour.
- Why the matchup works so well: City of Ash creates a very readable but still exciting clash. One side wants to stabilize the battlefield and push with intent, while the other wants to unsettle, outmaneuver and punish mistakes. That makes the box excellent for teaching the game and satisfying for more experienced players who enjoy tactical contrast.

How to get the most from City of Ash
| Key Element | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Cities of Sigmar approach | Play with control and confidence, using your force to secure important space instead of overcommitting too early |
| Skaven approach | Look for pressure points, create discomfort and force mistakes through speed and opportunistic attacks |
| Objective play | Spearhead rewards players who remember the mission, so board control matters just as much as direct damage |
| Tempo management | This box becomes especially rewarding when you learn when to stabilize the battle and when to break it wide open |
Frequently asked questions

|---|---|
| Is City of Ash suitable for beginners? | Yes. It is a very approachable way to start Spearhead because it provides two opposing forces and a clear, thematic setup that helps new players understand faction identity quickly. |
| Is this box still interesting for experienced players? | Absolutely. Experienced players will appreciate the strong narrative, the contrast in playstyles and the value of adding distinctive new models to Cities of Sigmar or Skaven collections. |
