Let’s be honest, if I fell in love with the Kharadron Overlords it was above all a question of aesthetics. I never thought I’d see Games Workshop mix Duardins, ships, and Steam punk in such an inventive way. This army has a unique look.

This is an army with a model going into battle with a mini-balloon backpack and battle armor that includes a top hat-shaped helmet. Who can resist Brokk Grungsson? We can only yield in front of an army including miniatures like the Endrinriggers, the Arkanaut Frigate or the Arkanaut Ironclad!

Speed, give me what I need

In my old days I played

• Space Marine, with Assault Squad with Jetpack
• Eldar Craftworlds with Black Guardian Windriders, Swooping Hawks, Vyper and Falcon
• Tomb Kings with War Chariots, a lot.
•  Cryx (Warmachine) with Bonejacks, lots of Bonejacks

You could say that I have always placed a high value on mobility. So if you like mobility, the Kharadrons Overlord might be for you too. Embark your Arkanaut Company in your Aetherships. Escort your troops with Grundstock Gunhauler and Endrinriggers and take the battlefield. Use this speed to take objectives and avoid the more melee oriented troops (shoot them instead).

The Kharadron Code

If you aren’t keen on their looks, or their gameplay, maybe you will be interested in their lore. In the ethers float the Duardins Skyports, ruled by guilds and code. Arkanaut companies are pirates… no… “traders“. If you are tired of playing armies of very nice or very bad guys, sign up with the industrious Kharadrons Overlords. Prosper or Die!

Post Why play Kharadrons Overlord was first on No Paint No Gain.

Hello, I am a former fantasy wargamer who’s back to the Hobby. I used to play Warhammer Battle (Undead then Tomb Kings) and Privateer Press (a bit of everything in Warmachine and Hordes but mainly Cryx). And then, nothing …

Until I discovered the Kharadron Overlords from Age of Sigmar, and it was love at first sight. As a result I bought enough to get started, assembled the models and … two years passed. I’m diving dive back today after a few months in confinement and I launch this blog to motivate myself.

So, a blog about the Hobby?

That’s it. Here I will tell you about my Hobby adventures. First with my Kharadron Overlords, and then, who knows. Stormcast, Lumineth, Orruk, something else entirely ? All betts are off. I will tell you about my struggles, my solutions, my modelling and painting tips etc. I am not a pro painter, far from it, but if you are a beginner or facing the same issues as I am, maybe you will find something useful here.

Once the painting step is over, I will tell you about my (futile) army list theories. I’ll put them to the test for a few battle reports. I am as good a strategist as I am a painter, so I hope to tell you a lot of things I do so you don’t repeat them

See you next time !
