[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

Greetings Overlords!

After the new Battletome, I've been looking at starting KO as my secondary army. I really like the skyships and have gone pretty deep on them with this hypothetical list. So far I've chosen models based more on looks than their efficiency (so no Riggers or Wardens in the current iteration), but since it'll be a while until I really start my purchases (still painting my Ogors) I thought I'd post my current thoughts on a list for some review.

2000pts

Port: Barak-Zilfin

Leaders:

Brokk Grungsson

Aetheric Navigator

Behemoth:

Arkanaut Ironclad

- Great Skycannon

- Battle Ram

Battleline:

2x10 Arkanauts

Arkanaut Frigate

-Chutes

-Heavy Sky Cannon

Arkanaut Frigate

-Heavy Sky Cannon

Other:

2x Gunhaulers

- Sky Cannon

5x Thunderers

+1 Command Point

 

I don't have that much experience with the larger point value games yet as I only play fully painted. I went with mostly Sky Cannons on the ships as I like the utility of being able to choose a statline depending on the target, but all-in-all I'd really love some feedback on the weapon options etc. I really don't like the idea of losing Brokk as it's the #1 model that got me interested in the faction, I just don't like the smaller balloon rigs of the Riggers/Wardens... But I'm open for hints and looking for any glaring flaws in the list for a good casual game.

<< edit: this list seems to be fairly similar to Garamond's list that they posted while I was typing this, but it's good to see that skyship lists can have some traction

I first encountered Warhammer: Fantasy during the fifth edition while visiting a gaming store back in 1999 when I was in high school, but didn't buy my own miniatures until the sixth edition, around 2001. I was an avid console gamer back then, and still are, but the hobby aspects drew me to try Warhammer as well as I like DIY building (mainly fly lures and other fishing equipment back then).

I don't have my own children, but many of my hobbyist friends have got their children into the hobby pretty spontaneously. Starting from "painting stuff along with their daddy/mommy" and eventually getting some games in as well when the children are old enough to understand the rules. Not all of them keep at it, but at least they've been interested enough to try.

Not familiar with Warhammer: Adventure series, but I do own many of the Fantasy and 40k novels (like the Gotrek & Felix and the Horus Heresy series).

[The Painting Contract - December 2019]

Depending on how the local post office will deliver my orders (there was a recent national strike), my plan for december is:

12 Ogor Gluttons

4 Mournfangs

3 (metal) Maneaters

Tyrant

Ironblaster

Slaughtermaster

Frostlord on Stonehorn

- Built, converted, based and (hopefully) at least primed before the end of the month, might start painting as well if the weather is good for priming.

Not at all uncommon I'm afraid.  They include a different set of instructions with the boxed sets based on what it's supposed to make (read: what is depicted on the box).  I don't know if this is universal.   Can't recall if the Feast of Bones instructions has the Gnoblar launcher instructions in it.  Honestly tho, if you're ever lacking instructions, just email GW.  They're fairly easy to acquire.  There is also a reddit page that posts many.

The FoB only came with the Ironblaster instructions, but the frames are the same so you still get to take advantage of the Scraplauncher parts in kitbashing.

Saw a Pretty dope conversion on this site where someone mounted Greasus on a Stonehorn. Looked amazing.

Sounds pretty good, have to look out for that one, though cutting into that big pile of pewter sounds daunting

From what I understand, they removed the old Overtyrant option from the new book? Any ideas what to use my old Greasus model as until we get something similar available?
