This april GW will release a new army for AoS - the Kharadron Overlords, a brand new faction of duardin for the Mortal Realms. Now these guys are just really awesome and steampunky, and they will make great Squats for our 30k campaigns, serving as missing link between Space Dwarf, Mechanicum-steampunk and Solar Auxilia-steampunk.
Oh, and they have chainswords!
And awesome hats.
What do you think about these dudes? Write us in the comments below :)

They look adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI've never considered AoS but these are tempting!! The models look stunning!
I agree they look amazing I'm thinking of using them as grenadiers for imperialis militia and the ships as arvus lighters
DeleteMy current plan is to lock Drake in a cellar and force him to write some homebrew rules sometimes later this year. You know, all in nicely done FW style.
DeleteLol. Really sounds like a plan.
DeleteDamn it! The thought of building another Imperial Militia army strikes me again with this dudes...
ReplyDeleteLast guy is the guy from Monopoly in the Grim Dark Future of DIY?
ReplyDeleteI love him. He's the best because he has an awesome stylish hat!
DeleteAnd Monocle...and don't forget that Mustache!
DeleteI think he has little boltpistols or granade-launchers as part of his Mustache! :D
DeleteI really hope they are called "Side burners"....
DeleteThat first guy looks kind of cool. As for the others, I don't know,they might grow on me.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan I'm afraid. Squats don't need Viking stuff
ReplyDeleteI really like them, apart from the baloon guys.
ReplyDeleteI wish they were actually Squats. That'd work better for me than this kind of tech in a fantasy setting (AoS).
These guys look absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Mind is swirling about throwing in some Iron Breakers as allies! Arkanaut Company look like swashbuckling dwarf pirates! Love it!
ReplyDeleteA lot of shooting!
I love these guys for AoS but I dunno how I'd feel about seeing them in 30k games. Just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteThe last model pictured would pass for an Arch magos on abeyant.
