Other than that looks great. Actually i just buy the single modell on ebay. I am not sold on more Riggers and i would like to keep it cheap.😅 Edited May 15, 2020 by Archibald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that looks great. I have to thank you again for that advice. I noticed that the cheapest way (moneywise) to field an Ironclad is to buy the Aetherwar box, resell the Tzeentch stuff and buy an Ironclad. When i would buy the start collecting box i would be in need of a second battleline unit, because either the Gunhauler or the Thunderers would be battleline. But not both at the same time. So i ordered the Aetherwar box and will add an Ironclad soon. My first 1000p list would look something like this: 1000p Kharadron Overlords Skyport: non Artycle: settle the grudge Amendment: always take what you are owed Footnote: there is no trading with some people 220p Endrinmaster in Dirigible Suit (General, Grudgebearer, Phosphorite Bomblets) 100p Endrinriggers 100p Endrinriggers 510p Ironclad (last word) Will it be good? I don't know. Will it be a ton of fun to shoot-shoot-shoot my enemy. Definitly! Now i will have to choose a color sceme. I guess i like Baral-Thryng. Have never seen anybody use that one before. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that? Thryng is based on taking a lot of other dwarf allies, and a more traditional type of foot slogging playstyle, and so most KO players don't use it too often. My problem with that is bodies. On objectives you are going to have to kill, kill, kill. There is really no way you can contest objectives with so few bodies. I would say you might want to swap out a unit of riggers for some arknauts. Really there isn't a good way you are going to get all the units you want in a small number of boxes, so I would say that getting some arkanauts would be useful.

I was only talking about the color sceme that i will be using. Red with white armor looks just very cool.^^ Regarding skyport i guess i will use Urbaz or Zilfin. What is with the artykle and the command trait/artefact etc. I chose. Legit stuff? A unit of Arcanauts was added to the buying list!:p Edited May 17, 2020 by Archibald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hey fellow Admirals, i want to paint my Overlords in a Barak-Thryng sceme. Unfortunately i am not quite sure how to paint the boats. After a bit of google searching i found that there were color plates for each Skyport in the old battletome. I could only find the full color plates for Barak-Nar and Barak-Ziflin. For Barak-Thryng i could only find the color plates for the troops, but not for the ships... So my question is if someone who has the old battletome at hand could make a photo of said page? That would be of great help!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old book didnt have them all, at the front end were some sketches of the ports, but only Nar, Zilfin, Zon and urbaz had ships in theirs. Mhornar and Thryng didnt have any. I dont know of any official images of Thryng ships. Id just do top half of the hull bone, bottom half red which is what most have done looking around online.

The balloon seems to be mostly the white with gold details, as opposed to the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Just wanted to share my first test miniature for my Barak-Thryng Skyport. I know i am not the best painter (especially because of my impatience), but i would like to hear your opinions.😊 Not 100% shure about the base edges yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5kaven5lave Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Loving these pics guys, keep them coming!! Question for anyone’s who’s painted an Ironclad - did you stick the guy with the paintbrush on the side or not? Seems a bit jarring to have some fella who missed a bit hanging around while the bombs are going off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just give him a gun, or let him grapple with some bird(nest). in anotherwise quite clean design he is a weird kind off ‘lets do something jokey’ in the range. Same goes for the drillbill. If it didn’t have rules I would leave that one off as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 How do you deal with a turn 1 Mawkrusher charge? I witnessed a game where a KO gunline was totally obliterated in 2 turns by that beast. He had just two Gunhaulers, Brokk, 6 Endrinriggers, a Khemist, 10 Thunderes and lots of Arcanaut Company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Navigator? Aether storm can be quite good to deal with it. The Last Word on an Ironclad can be a solid punch if it charges (and it will). Similar with a Khemist with the right spell. Also, was it ethereal? This takes away rend and is quite hard to counter. In my eyes, it should not be able to be placed on monsters. And did they read "strength from victory" right? It only triggers once per round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't ethereal. The biggest problems were the free mighty destroyer move from the ironfist battalion and the fact that we play on 48x48 boards.So the Mawcrusher naturally can move 24 and then gets +1 to charges. So he is in your gunline in the first round (the more i think about it, the Navigators Aetherstorm ability sounds more and more awesome😄). Another thing with the Orruks is the Smashin and bashin rule. My Oruuk enemy on regular base destroys my whole BoC army (MSU because i don't have enough models for big herds) before any of my units can make a punch. I hope my Skyfleet will not end up the same.😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first way is to underdrop the jawz, start first, eliminate as much as you can, prioritize war chanter and gore gruntas, the double halves move to maw with your Navigator, and take space with your company. Otherwise if ironjawz underdrop you, play conservative in one corner, with less model as screen you can to minimize the damage that the maw can inflict and then hope in double turn to make damage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
