I think it's a simple list to get me into the swing of things. Allegiance: Kharadron Overlords Skyport: Barak-Urbaz - Additional Footnote: There's No Trading With Some People Leaders Aether-Khemist (140) - General - Command Trait : Stickler for the Code:There's No Trading With Some People Aether-Khemist (140) - Artefact : Aethershock Earbuster Units 20 x Arkanaut Company (240) - 6 x Light Skyhooks 20 x Arkanaut Company (240) - 6 x Light Skyhooks 6 x Endrinriggers (240) 1000 pts. I wanna try this list Barak-Urbaz Arkanaut Admiral (140) - General ----> Command abilty no test battleshock Articfact - Masterwreck Armor - Command Trait : Stickler for the Code:There's No Trading With Some People Aether-Khemist (140) Artifact - Aethershock Earbuster 30 x Arkanaut Company (360) - 9 x Light Skyhooks 30 x Arkanaut Company (360) - 9 x Light Skyhooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkanaut Companies being the mainstay is nice and fluffy, sure, but there really needs to be at least a smidge of diversity. As was suggested above, something dedicated to repelling attackers from the actual ships would be both thematic and useful. Im going to second that, I think something along the lines of Grundstok Thunderers but with some sort of CC weapons, maybe just using the tried and true Aethermatic saw (but on a slow platform of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Pirate Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I agree. I would like a kind of troop like breachers in Horus Heresy with boarding shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangfroid Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hmm how about latch hooks, think bonesplittas Big Stabbas, 2 Duradin on a single base one with a long polearm and the other large shield 3” range to fight over company and do extra damage to flying units id also like to see ironclads have a special rule where one embarked unit of company can “Man the deck” and use pistols and cutlass (not special weapons) they could be targeted so not invulnerable but could benefit from +1 as maybe but if ironclad dies then they die on a 1,2,3 instead of a 1?

It was very interesting and added a lot of flavor to the "normal" KO way of trading etc. They places they traveled were also cool. The Spear of Shadows is another great book which has some nice KO bits in it. Wait there’s a book about ko out? I’d like to know what it’s called. 20 hours ago, Clan's Cynic said: Most of all I'd just like to see another Battleline unit.

Something like this but more KO ish. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PileBunker Also I want to see more combat focused ships that forgo cargo for more guns. Finally the codex mentions huge battleships. Please Forgeworld make a battleship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half-way through it and I have to say, its not a bad read at all. Paints a very interesting picture of the mercantile nature of the Kharadron Overlords and incidentally is Bark-Zilfin related which is odd considering Barak-Nar should be the face of the Overlords.

Its good if you like KO but i find it a bit heavy going to be honest, im only half way through and having to force myself to read a chapter a night.

But it lacks artistic flair, and since novels are works of art, that tends to be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Overlord Xenu Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Question for you folks. I'm running a fairly standard Clown Car list for a tournament next weekend. However, I'm likely to be facing Fyreslayers for the first time. I know they can do all sorts of shenanigans with unmodifyable saves and deep strikes. Any pointers?

Kill their leaders, Battlesmiths let them reroll saves and Smiters (the deepstrike guys) let a single unit reroll wounds. Once you get a unit below 20 they are fairly easy to kill. Magmadroths are not as scary as they look with low armor save and wounds, so a few skyhooks will wreck one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlander86 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Its unfortunate there isn't really a lot of KO battle reports on Youtube and most of what I see usually doesn't really end well for the KO Player. That aside, any considerations for a small KO Shadespire warband? I don't play Shadespire but I love how character-filled the lore and the models are. I'd also love to see a potential female KO model (I mean, Duardin chicks exist in the lore right?). I saw some of the releases for the "new" Shadespire stuff and was thinking Khorne and Stormcast again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find the lack of lady duardin in KO a bit odd, they are after all merit based above all else! Of course there is the much much much more awful alternative (and extremely Discworld) that there ARE female models in the line, we just don't know because of the beards.

I think they can even dig in a new unit for Kharadrons with female dwarves Valkyries, you know like the song in Apocalypse now with the helicopters. I dunno Valkyries? Does that fit the KO theme? Seems to cliche... fantasy and classic dwarf/norse. I think the KO would be progressive enough to just let female dwarves serve in certain positions (probably more scholarly ones). I could easily see female Aether-Khemists and Navigators being a thing. We need a more Kharadron name for them and at the same time GW. So something science ish and dwarfish. Aethermatic-Endrineers. They carry welders and spark guns (powered by aeither gold) to jump start engines and help check the power tubes are working and are primarily filled with females due to beards and sparks mixing badly they prefer to let women do it lol. They would be specialists in piping and getting the most out of the aethergold. Sort of like a modern day electrical engineer. Not to mention how do you even tell genders in a suit that thick? Do they make the woman have boob plate or something? Or do they put like a mark on them to distinguish genders? I dunno lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlander86 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 You could just have alternate helmet designs for females based on the common symbol of Valaya. And yes, more obvious physical identifiers should be prominent. Not excessive...just...prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Overlord Xenu Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The question to me is whether the helmets for female Kharadrons still have beards. Like is the beardhelmet aesthetic or is it supposed to be functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
