Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Spearhead/ Hour of Ruin / Brookline RPG Day

The realms are cracking open, and what’s crawling up through the seams isn’t waiting for anyone to be ready.

Hour of Ruin is a Warhammer Age of Sigmar (4th Edition) Spearhead learn-to-play session. This one isn’t a role-playing game. It’s a tabletop miniatures wargame: armies on a battlefield, and you making the tactical calls. Spearhead is the fast, standalone way into the hobby, built around a single boxed army and a battle that fits in an afternoon.

The Mortal Realms are eight elemental worlds linked by ancient gateways called Realmgates. For centuries they’ve been fought over by Order, Chaos, Death, and Destruction. Now the balance has shattered into the Hour of Ruin. Hordes are pouring up from below, old empires are waking, and alliances are forming out of pure desperation.

We’re running this one as a 1v1. You’ll command your own army, team up with a teacher and face an opponent, and plan your moves and see if you can gain the tactical advantage. Experienced players will be at the table to teach the rules as you go and offer suggestions when you want them. The decisions are yours.

Tactical, strategy-first play: positioning, objectives, and smart choices
Armies provided, so there’s nothing to buy, build, or paint
Team play: plan with a partner and win or lose together
Experienced players coach you through the game

No experience with Age of Sigmar or miniatures needed. Come curious and ready to outthink your opponents.
