They also have a once a game reroll all saves. 

Twice in Barak-Urbaz too. You can make them a real pain in the ass to deal with.

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

I think Arkanauts still have a place as a 90 point screening unit that a Frigate can dump in inconvenient places.

Holy moly the ironclad sounds terrifying now- flat 6 damage on the sky cannon and up to 2 damage and 3+ to wound on the aethercarbines. Mix that with the new aethergold ability and it’s going to annihilate anything that gets close to it, plus better healing all round. 510 points now but worth every one by the sound of it. Mind you, I suspect there’s plenty of things out there that can still flatten it in a single turn even with a 3+ save. 
 

slightly disappointed that two battleline if choices are linked to the new hero, but sone options are better than none at all, and at least arkanauts are cheaper as well.  

Perch a group of endrinriggers around it with a nearby endrinmaster and you'll be repairing the hell out of it. It also carries aether-gold, so you can re-roll all saves one time. And with one of the articles, you can make it carry two loads for two goes at all save re-rolls!

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

Ton of good stuff there and it's a fantastic set of changes overall, with the only niggling issue being the confirmation that Endrinriggers and Skywardens require the Balloonchief to be general to make them battleline. I hope everyone gets their Aether War before it sells out!

Ya'll are putting a lot of belief in rumors that are about as shaky as michael j. fox's arms. I haven't seen any of these rumors come from any actual source, not even on facebook, or /tg/, so any rumors talking about changes to armor or rend or the khemist I'll take with about a dump truck full of salt.

The only things we know for sure are what was in the community post, and what we'll see in the AoS app this weekend. I would like to see extra armor, but changes to rend would seem incredibly absentminded, as well as the khemist change unless he was getting some other ability. 

The app update happens on the 11th, so it'll be next weekend. GMG does a page by page review and their embargo drops when the pre-order goes up so we'll see the full thing from them at the weekend anyway.

Where are the point cost and weapon loadout rumors coming from? Are people just guessing, or is there some sort of proof? 

There is no proof. The most we have been given here is "from FB".

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

Is their precedent for having a battleline choice be dependent on a limited release character? It takes them a year+ to release those models individually, so unless there's a way to have them be battleline under, say, Brokk, that is a boneheaded move.

 Yea, now our 1/4+/5+/-/1 gunbutt attack is much more dangerous) 

If you're not just taking swarms of Endrinriggers with aethermatic saws for this I don't know what to tell you.

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

It's nice that it doesn't specify a phase like Blood Warriors. If you're in combat but get shot up, or get magicked off the field, you can still fight the unit you're next to.

IJ got a new unit with the Ironskull's Boyz in Shadespire and there's another IJ warband coming this season in Beastgrave.

Prayer of Ash is only available for Fyreslayers priests in a Fyreslayers allegiance though. 

Those Zhargrim blessings in general

Ah pants.

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

Fyreslayer prayers like the Prayer of Ash works on any unit, so it might be worth taking FS priests to crank out those buffs. Any 3+ ship would do well with a +1 save each turn. Could also be nice doing a Prayer of Grimnir's Fury on Brokk to have him fight in the hero phase. Could possibly use the Magmic Invocations too.

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

Its 5+ save just can't survive in the modern game. It's far too easy to dump it off the field.

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

My big hope is for Gunhaulers and Thunderers to become really useful so we get more use from the Start Collecting. I would expect Skywardens to go Battleline in a Barak-Zon army at the least, but certainly one of those three unit types has to go battleline in the new book.

It is surprising that in the whole article they didn't even speak about the main units in the new box : Skywardens/Endrinriggers . I have absolutly no idea about their usage in this new BT.

Barak-Zon Skywardens get +1 to hit and +1 to wound on the charge.

[AoS 2 - Seraphon Discussion]

We aren't being shelved. There are Seraphon warcry cards coming out soon and a campaign and background for them in the new tome. That rumour really did a number on Seraphon players
