Pendraken have a nice range of different lengths and different points (pike or broad leaf spear)

I usually get mine from Aventine Miniatures.

I have figured out it’s actually a lot cheaper to make my own.

I just get the brass rod. In 30cm lengths. I cut the length I need.

I then take pliers to the end and flatten it, a decent set of flat pliers helps here.

I then shape the end with a needle file. It is a surprisingly quick process and save waste.

Footsore Miniatures usually sell them.  That’s where I get mine

“It is a surprisingly quick process” – how quick is quick?

few other sources, though not as good value as some of the others:

NSS102 – Wire Spears (x20) – North Star Military Figures (northstarfigures.com)

SC57 Wire Spears (20) | SC57 | Gripping Beast
