Contents List, Release Date, Pricing & Value
Featuring 10 Darkoath Marauders, 10 Darkoath Savagers, 5 Fellriders, and a Darkoath Warqueen hero, this set provides a full force ready to wreak havoc across the Mortal Realms. The Warqueen leads this brutal force, enforcing the twisted oaths sworn to the Dark Gods. The Marauders and Savagers provide a sturdy backbone for the army, while the Fellriders add speed and aggression to overrun enemy lines.
The release date of the Darkoath Slaves to Darkness Spearhead is December 7th, 2024. Here is a contents list of what comes in the new AoS Slaves to Darkness Spearhead box:
- 1x Warqueen
- 10x Darkoath Savagers
- 10x Marauders

What makes this set even more enticing is the ability to declare battle tactics as sacred oaths. These oaths add a unique layer of gameplay, allowing players to score tactical objectives while unlocking powerful bonuses. Combined with the new reinforcement rules, these units can be summoned back to the battlefield, ensuring that the fight continues even after suffering heavy losses.

Is the Slaves to Darkness Spearhead Worth It?
With a full Warcry box inside (the Savagers), this box actually has great value! It basically gives you an additional 50% value (you get $220 in value for only spending $145), and for a GW purchase, that is honestly something special. If you want to play Darkoath in your Slaves to Darkness army (and especially if you missed out on the starter box), this is a great way to do it.
Either way, this is a decent way to get a Slaves to Darkness force on the table quickly if this is the only bundle you have access to. If you’re starting an army, this is a good one to grab!
How Many Points Is This?
So, you’re wondering how many points the Slaves to Darkness Spearhead box racks up, eh? Well, in Age of Sigmar 4th edition, this box hits with about 500 points. But, as you know, the tides of the Mortal Realms are ever-shifting, and with the latest updates, that number could quickly fluctuate.

Slaves to Darkness AoS Spearhead Contents & Description
They are ready to unleash chaos across the Mortal Realms, the Warqueen keeps everyone in line with her iron grip and those ominous oaths to the Dark Gods. The Marauders and Savagers form the solid core of this wrecking crew, while the Fellriders bring the speed and ferocity to smash through enemy ranks like a battering ram on wheels—if wheels were demonic steeds.
Marauders
Accompanying the Darkoath heroes are new plastic Marauders. They are a relentless horde of warriors driven by a thirst for battle and conquest. With their muscular frames and savage weaponry, the Marauders epitomize the savage beauty of Chaos, ready to carve their path of destruction across the Mortal Realms.
Fellriders
For those who seek to strike swiftly and mercilessly, the Darkoath Fellriders offer a formidable cavalry force. Mounted atop fearsome steeds, these warriors unleash devastation upon their foes with lethal precision. Which embodies the untamed fury of Chaos in every charge.
Darkoath Warqueen
Countless mortal tribes have thrown their lot in with Chaos, but leading the charge are the infamous Darkoath Warqueens. These folks have done some seriously unspeakable stuff to catch the attention of the Dark Gods. Armed with raw charisma, sky-high ambition, and no shortage of deadly skills, they’re a force to be reckoned with.
But their real ace? The divine thumbs-up from the Dark Gods themselves and an uncanny knack for rallying the chaotic masses into one terrifying horde.
Savagers
The Darkoath Savagers tear through the Mortal Realms with savage fury, shouting spine-chilling oaths to the Ruinous Powers as they go. For these ruthless marauders, every sunrise is just another chance to impress their dark gods and earn that sweet, chaotic favor.
What to Buy Next?
That’s really hard to say right now, with the 4th Edition Age of Sigmar just being and the battletome switching up all of their rules. However, we will have the latest on the new rules for the Slaves of Darkness and their allies, The Darkoath, in our huge faction guide for all the new AoS 4th Edition rules and updates here.
In the meantime, you can’t go wrong with any of the new AoS Darkoath units that have been released separately or the Darkoath Army Box.
