I’m going to stick with making a small force and hope the rules in the future don’t punish me for not buying 3 boxes of a unit to make a single viable one.

It’s more thematic I’m going for anyway. I’ll do a different army afterwards for a bit more of a competitive edge. The KO are just too cool to overlook, and bing new i don’t expect to be winning many games off the bat anyway. Time to order some paints!

In the Arkanaut Company box you get 1 lance, 1 Light skyhook and 1 machinegun BUT you want all your 3 special-weapon-guy to wield the same weapon to optimize the aether-khemist buff! 

To get 3 lances, 3 skyhook and 3 machinegun you need to buy 3 arkanaut company box.

Always remember to save extra bits from Endrinriggers kit to model light skyhook and other weapon on your arkanauts, those bits could be very expensive on e-bay.

I've done it this way, you need a bit of modeling patience/skill but is doable 😉

Welcome to KO. All the money, none of might 😜

I’ve got to say it doesn’t seem like an entry level army, I think I’m going to have to see if I can exchange the gifts my brother got me

You need to buy (with money) 3 sets of Arkanauts to get enough special weapon bits to give 1 squat the same special weapon three times. (Read 3 light skyhooks)

Wow, ok, that’s a lot of money, I’m a bit perplexed by that.

You still need 3 boxes of arcanauts just for make them fully equiped with special weapons. 

Sorry I don’t understand?

3 Bl starts at 2000 pts. For 1000 pts SC is useless) 

Just take 2 squads of arcanauts (240), alchemist (160), ironclad (420), 5 grundstock thunderers and navigator.

Or you can take 2 squads of arcanauts (240), alchemist (160), frigate (240) and 9 endrinriggers. 

Oh, I tried doing a list on the community wars roll maker thing and I was sure it was telling me I needed 3 battle line when I was over 1000 points, if it’s only 2 at 1.5k that does help.

Scroll up this page for 3 suggested 1k lists to think about (my last post but one).

The problem with the SC box is that it doesn’t give you any battleline, so you’re already committed to 2 separate boxes of arkanauts on top, and it gives you a gunhauler, which is probably the least useful ship. If you want to go KO, already having a khemist and some riggers is a solid start. Grab a couple of arkanaut companies, and then either a frigate or an ironclad, if you want a ship. If you take a frigate, another couple of boxes of riggers will round out a reasonable 1k list.

I did look at those thanks, I was going for more thematic than competitive and the SC just seemed like such good value. A frigate or ironclad is what I’d prefer so unfortunately it looks like I’m just going to have to spend more money.

thanks though guys.

from a hobby perspective im thinking a tundra landscape. I saw a great base on a 40k model that used Thundertusk tusks coming out of ice and would love to replicate it.

thinking of adding fur cuffs to the gloves and boots of the models too. 

Many other ideas for making my models look like they belong in that kind of landscape?

dont you need 3 battle line in a 1500 point list?

I did think about it but ideally wanted to start at 1000 points as there’s other armies I’m interested in for bigger forces.

[AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion]

Hi guys, I wanted to start AoS just over a year ago and KO was who I was going to go with. I liked the idea of a small band that plies their trade monster hunting.

The birth of my son put those plans off though until my brother grabbed me some skyriggers and a khemist for Xmas (at the time I’d thought about going Khorne instead because I thought bloodletters would be a bit more forgiving when learning to paint) so I’m going to do a small 1000pt force of the KO. The start collecting box is really good value but I just can’t figure out how to get the models from that and the models I’ve got into a 1000 point list. Only having one battle line unit seems to be really hampering.

Id want a boat in the list, and the riggers my brother bought me, but how would anyone go about putting those into a list utilising the SC box? Would it be a case of selling parts of the SC box maybe?

i really like KO but they’re seeming like they’re maybe not the best army to start with at the minute and I might be better exchanging those gifted models and starting with something else?
