The Squats shall rise!

Howdy Guys and Girls :)

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 :)

Regards,
Lady Atia

    1. I agree they look amazing I'm thinking of using them as grenadiers for imperialis militia and the ships as arvus lighters

    2. My 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.

  5. Not a fan I'm afraid. Squats don't need Viking stuff

  6. I really like them, apart from the baloon guys.

    I wish they were actually Squats. That'd work better for me than this kind of tech in a fantasy setting (AoS).

  7. 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!

    A lot of shooting!

  8. I love these guys for AoS but I dunno how I'd feel about seeing them in 30k games. Just my 2 cents.
