Yeah you read that right.

Our Warhammer Community team, showcasing some incredible new upcoming stuff at the Gama Trade show in Las Vegas right now, have just revealed the next race joining the Age of Sigmar.

Introducing the Kharadron Overlords, a brand new faction of duardin for the Mortal Realms.



From the skies come the airborne armadas of the Kharadron Overlords – sky-fleets of iron-clad warriors aboard fantastical machines of war armed with powerful aetheric weapons.

They are a proud people and masters of strange alchemical powers. Guided by their Kharardron Code, and long-hidden from the rampaging forces of the Dark Gods, they did not merely survived the Age of Chaos, they thrived.

With the dominion of Chaos receding, they venture forth once more to seek plunder and riches among the realms.

This new Duardin faction is a force unlike any you have seen before. These are not the descendants of Grungni who hid in their mountain holds or fled to Azyr, and neither are they the firebrand berzerkers of the lodges that worship the fractured god Grimnir. The Kharadrons have become a race unto themselves, separated from their kin through the centuries.

You won’t see a single scrap of flesh on them – every inch of their bodies is clad in armour or complex suits, so as to protect them from the harsh environments found in the magic-infused skies of the Mortal Realms. Their weapons are powered by strange chemical processes, and their airships, while bearing some similarities to the gyrocopters of their ancestors, are clearly powered by a far more powerful and possibly arcane mechanism.

We can’t wait.

This may actually get me involved with Age of Sigmar good and proper, or they may serve as future conversion fodder for heresy-era Squats / sub-humans.

Tophats, monocles and moustaches. The only thing missing is a kettle.

I think you mean Aether Generators, Arkanaut Rippers, Deck Sweepers, Aetherforge Hammer and Skyrigs. ninja

Meaning?

Anyway, a pair of pages of the upcoming battletome have been spotted online, giving us a hint of the fluff and a few names for pieces of equipment and whatnot.

While I'm not going full Age of Sigmar just yet, I did pre-order the book at my FLGS, so I can at least check to see if the fluff of this new faction is as interesting as the models are. I'll work things out from there in due time.

It's from the upcoming battle tome. After seeing this I want the book more than ever now!

GW dropped some more hints about the army over at Adepticon:

- The book will contain a full painting and tactics section

- The ships will be a first for Age of Sigmar: transports! Their warscrolls are apparently so massive that they had to use a small font to get it all in on a single page. The more models they carry the slower they become, though the Skyriggers can latch onto the ships and take up no transport capacity or induce a movement penalty.

- The book will feature several large Dwarf cities / factions, one of which the player can choose, which will give your army a certain boost or buff, not much unlike picking a Space Marine Chapter or Chaotic God alignment.
