Behold the Kharadron Overlords!

[Well of Eternity]

my favorite ones.

[Dez]

I really liked those too. I was shocked when I realized the scale of the first image.

[FractalRain]

I know!  Really points out the types of creatures flying in the upper atomosphere and the scale of danger!

I've just realised Purple and Yellow is UKIP colours so stuff that, I'll be doing a proper blue.

Purple and yellow is the warchiefs colours and we had them first so purple and yellow is fine :-)

Sprue time!
 

Frigate:

 

Arkanaut Company:

Admiral:

 

The only think that I don't like? The Arkanaut only give you 1 of the 3 tipes of special weapons. So if you want 3 of the same type, you need ot look for bitz, do conversions, or buy 2 more boxes

You are probably going to need 3 anyway for battleline unless, you can get those thunder guys some how.

Really pumped to see how conversion friendly those sprues look. Can't wait to see the different directions people take their fleets!

[Greyshadow]

That top hat guy is freakin awesome. I so want that model.

From WhatsApp. Only 2 attacks on the admiral. Frigate is nice though.

I cannot see it at all, so maybe some summaries?

Or go to GW site and choose New Zealand for the country and see preorders

The Admiral is fairly underwhelming.

Yes and no. He is only 140.  His only two attacks in melee can be helped through Chemists or possibly items.  

[Dez]

He is a tank.

The two biggest drawbacks (beyond their systemic weaknesses like how they are glass cannons) I see so far are the lack of an ability to combine KO with other Duardin factions, particularly Karak-Thryng who even have a Fyreslayer in their symbol.  Seems like a real missed opportunity.  

The other disappointment is regarding weapon load outs and sprues.  Even though it says that you can equip 3 special weapons per 10 Arkanaut Company (that you get to pick from a list), they only give you one of each of the four special weapons total.  This means that if you want to make that 30 man unit of Company with 9 Light Skyhooks, then you have to buy 9 boxes of Arkanaut Companies so that you can field this 30 many unit (which should only take 3 boxes!)  If the thunders are similar, it will be an even worse situation.  To field a 10 man unit of any one weapon, you will need to buy 10 boxes (!) of that unit instead of 2!  Simply crazy.

That's not a weakness. That's like saying every elf faction has a weakness cuz it can't ally with other elves

[Malakithe]

I want to go a heavy leadbelcher then either a good vibrant orange or tzeenchy colors like ahirman blue

I didn't say weakness; I called it a drawback of the release and a missed opportunity.  It would be like having a subfaction of aelves where that has symbolic representations of both White Lions and Swordmasters in the iconography, and lore that supports such an alliance but you can't actually field the White Lions with the Swordmasters without losing all the subfaction abilities.  Again, its a missed opportunity.

[Adolphus]

I was more diassapointed in the Admirals command abilities. There is nothing terrible about him, he's just kinda meh.

Looks like you get two of the weapon sprues in the ten man box. So yeah you can't max out on one weapon but 2 out of 3 isn't so bad. No idea on the thunderers though. Probably get two of each weapon at best I imagine. I may convert my old iron drakes into thunderes with canons

I believe someone who has a box in hand has said you only get one of each weapon type.  I'd love to be proven wrong.

[Adolphus]

Yeah looking at the sprues again I see the one has 6 guys, so you're right. Man that's a bummer. They should have just made the loadouts 1 of each. I guess if you make all three of your battleline super specialized it can work.

[Dez]

That's my plan, and there is no reason not to minmax I can see.

[Trebuchenanigans]

Just put my pre-order in. Bit tight for cash so only got the book & cards this week (plus I'm hoping I can get Thunderers as battleline, so want to hold off on any plastic just yet).

 

The stick to the code cards look like fun. They're basically a set of cards featuring the various artycles, amendments, and footnotes you can choose for the allegiance abilities.
