Hoping to buy Warhammer City of Ash? Don't worry, I've got you covered. I've set my Clan Eshin informants skittering across the internet to bring me the latest offers, and I've actually been able to track down some stock for this hard-to-find box set! While the situation is tricky in the US, you can currently get the Spearhead release in the UK at Wayland Games.
That's not the only result I've turned up over the past few days, though. As someone who spends a lot of time tracking down Warhammer stock when I'm not reporting on or reviewing it, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve... and I've shared those below. If you want to buy Warhammer City of Ash, this is the best place to be.
It's certainly worth the fuss. As noted in our full Warhammer: Spearhead - City of Ash coverage, it's a lot of fun for established players but also "an easy way into the game" for newcomers with two cracking armies. I guess that's why so many folks are clamoring to buy City of Ash. Speaking of which, shall we dive in?
Where to buy Warhammer City of Ash in the US
Warhammer City of Ash stock is thin on the ground right now with the exception of eBay (where you've got to contend with resellers potentially inflating the price or slapping you with exorbitant shipping fees), but don't lose hope. I'd keep a close eye on Miniature Market as it's known for getting stock back in after running out, or Rogue Traders for a potential second run of pre-orders.

Warhammer City of Ash FAQ
Curious to know what all the fuss is about? Warhammer City of Ash is the first Spearhead-branded boxed set to include two full armies alongside this season's book, terrain, and board. You don't get dice, sure, but you have everything else you need to play.
As for the two forces going against one another, it's the Cities of Sigmar and the Skaven assassins from Clan Eshin.
When does City of Ash come out?
City of Ash (or, to give it its full legal name, "Warhammer Age of Sigmar Spearhead: City of Ash") is due to launch on May 2, 2026.
Why is it so hard to buy Warhammer City of Ash?
If you're wondering why it's so difficult to get your hands on the City of Ash box set, I have a suspicion it comes down to two factors. One: demand. This is a highly-anticipated release with some very cool armies included alongside everything you need to kickstart a season of Spearhead gaming, so fans are clamoring for it. Two: supply. While I obviously can't say for sure, I get the impression that supply of Warhammer boxed sets like this doesn't always meet the demand - there literally isn't enough to go around, or at least that's how it's seemed in the past. With that in mind, speed is of the essence. If you see City of Ash in stock, grab it immediately! It may not be there the next time you check.
Is City of Ash worth buying?
As noted in our four-and-a-half star City of Ash review, this is a fantastic boxed set for anyone wanting to get into the Spearhead game type or established fans. While it's by no means perfect (it doesn't come with dice and some minis are tricky to build, namely the Skaven), those are small niggles in the face of a fantastic product overall. The new setting is evocative with unique, atmospheric terrain, and both armies work brilliantly on the tabletop. I'm a particular fan of the Clan Eshin assassins, who are glass cannons that hit incredibly hard.
