Unlike most other armies represented on the tabletop in Age of Sigmar, the Kharadron Overlords aren’t really a military force. They are, unsurprisingly, a warband focused on shooting and claiming objectives, which is how they gain Inspiration in the game.

The Grundstok Thunderers are the most versatile and useful of the cheap infantries of the Kharadron Overlords.It doesn’t transport units (except with one specific artefact), but it can disengage and Fly High! just like its larger cousins. It’s basically a really fast piece of artillery. An Arkanaut Frigate , featuring a heavy sky cannon or skyhook as a front-facing main weapon, with a variety of other weapons attached to the hull

Rule the Skies – At the end of the game you have to have at least one of your ships on the table and no enemy behemoths with Fly on the table. So long as you can keep one of your ships alive this is pretty easy to achieve against many enemies, some matchups will be tougher however but it’s a solid choice. If all your ships are dead you’re likely not in a good spot anyways. Unfortunately this box is pretty lousy for pure Nighthaunts. Hexwraiths are underwhelming on the tabletop and Spirit Hosts are usually passed over for the more disposable and flexible Chainrasps. Pure Nighthaunt can’t even take the Mortis Engine either, leaving it a dead weight for the brunt of the box’s cost.

They are elite riflemen and pilots who are hired as escorts by Kharadron trade companies, so while they are an actual army, they are also a commercial enterprise just like everything else in the Skyports. Their Aether-khemists are also better than those of other Skyports, so if you plan on having one as your general, the Market City is the way to go. The Last Word – After an enemy unit charges your Ironclad shoot it with it’s main gun: sky cannon, skyhook, or volley cannon depending on which you’ve armed it with. Always useful since you can combine it with Unleash Hell to fire with that gun twice!

A militaristic, mercantile society detached completely from the other branches of duardin that populate the Mortal Realms, the Kharadron Overlords treat war and trade as much the same thing – a means to amass wealth and they excel at both. More than anything, they seek aether-gold – this lighter-than-air element is their society’s lifeblood, holding their cities aloft, fueling their ships and powering their elaborate armour. Great sky-fleets of warships descend from dozens of sky-ports when a rich seam is discovered; the Kharadron Overlords will fight bitterly to accrue this vital substance, and the status it brings. That’r pretty deadly if you can get more than one Skyvessel in range of him (perhaps 2 Ironclads or a battleline of Gunhaulers?). Duardin religion and mythology still lives on in everyday Kharadron language in proverbs, curses and rude sailor language, but it carries about as much religious meaning as it does when a modern person says “damn you to Hell”. The humble Arkanaut Company. A basic 100 point unit of duardin with nothing impressive about them. For each 10 you take you can have a volley gun, a skyhook, and a skypike and you should always take these. Do not expect them to kill much more than simple chaff and you’ll never be disappointed. They exist to take objectives and get in the way of enemy units hitting the units you really do care about. Behemoth

Drastically different from its laster iteration, Kharadron players everywhere will be happy to dust off their Frigates and get them on the table (maybe for the first time…) The second of the 2 Cities of Sigmar boxes that came out with the Battletome, this time its the chance of the old plastic Dwarves to take the turn in the spotlight. You’ve also got the choice between Endrinriggers and Skywardens to make. In an aerial force like this, Endrinriggers make a strong choice, as they can help keep your Arkanaut Frigate in fighting shape.
