Kharadron Overlords

High above the clouds of the Mortal Realms there thrives an empire of unrivalled prosperity and aerial power. Guided by the wisdom of their Code, the Kharadron Overlords send forth airship fleets to dominate the skyways – all who challenge the Kharadron’s supremacy are quick to suffer the wrath of their techno-arcane war machines.

This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Kharadron Overlords miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting allegiance abilities to a range of warscrolls and warscroll battalions. The rules are split into the following sections.

Designers’ Commentary

Battletome: Kharadron Overlords

Q:	Can an endless spell that was cast with the ‘Spell in a Bottle’ enhancement be controlled by the bearer?
A:	No.

Q:	If I use the Fly High ability to disengage with a unit, can that unit still shoot or charge later in the same turn?
A:	It can still shoot as per the Disengage ability but it cannot charge.

Q:	Can I use the Fly High ability instead of making a normal move that is granted by an effect? For example, can I use the Fly High ability instead of moving with the Scent Tracking battalion ability from Pitched Battles 2021 or the There’s Always a Breeze If You Look For It Barak-Zilfin ability?
A:	Yes to both questions.

Q:	If a unit with the FLYING TRANSPORT rule is in the Battle Regiment core battalion, can other units from the same battalion be set up inside that unit’s garrison when that battalion is set up?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Are Great Endrinworks a unique enhancement (core rules, 27.3.7)? If yes, can I take an additional Great Endrinwork if a rule would let me take an extra enhancement?
A:	Yes to both.

Q:	Can units garrisoning a KHARADRON OVERLORDS SKYVESSEL leave the garrison in the movement phase if that SKYVESSEL has not yet moved in that phase? If yes, can that garrisoning unit and that SKYVESSEL then each be picked to make a normal move or run in that phase as normal?
A:	Yes to both.

Q:	If an enemy KHARADRON OVERLORDS SKYVESSEL with a unit garrisoned in it finishes a charge move within 3" of a friendly unit, and there are no other enemy units within 3" of that friendly unit, could that friendly unit still receive the ‘Unleash Hell’ command ability to shoot at the charging SKYVESSEL (or the garrisoned unit)?
A:	Yes.

Q:	The ‘Collector’ command trait allows an additional HERO to have an artefact if the general has an artefact. If my subfaction requires the first artefact received to be the one specified in that subfaction’s abilities, could I give the additional artefact from ‘Collector’ to my general and the subfaction artefact to the other HERO?
A:	No.

Battle Traits

Sky-ports

From the martial prospectors of Barak-Zon to the piratical raiders of Barak-Mhornar, the duardin of the different sky-ports are highly distinct in their character.

If your army is a Kharadron Overlords army, you can give it a Sky-port keyword from the list below instead of picking an artycle, amendment and footnote for your army. All KHARADRON OVERLORDS units in your army gain that keyword, and you must use the extra abilities listed for that Sky-port on the page indicated.

• BARAK-NAR
• BARAK-ZILFIN
• BARAK-ZON
• BARAK-URBAZ
• BARAK-MHORNAR
• BARAK-THRYNG

If a model already has a Sky-port keyword on its warscroll, it cannot gain another one. This does not preclude you from including the unit in your army.

Aether-gold

Aether-gold is the lifeblood of Kharadron society, for this lighterthan- air metal holds their cities aloft, fuels their ships and powers a great deal of their weaponry.

Each KHARADRON OVERLORDS HERO, SKYVESSEL and KHARADRON OVERLORDS unit with 10 or more models starts a battle with 1 share of aether-gold.

Once per phase, you can say that 1 unit from your army that has any shares of aether-gold will spend 1 of them. If you do so, subtract 1 from that unit’s Bravery characteristic for the rest of the battle, but you can pick a triumph it is eligible to use and immediately apply its effect to that unit. Ignore any restrictions on a triumph that say it can only be used once per battle if you pay to use it with a share of aether-gold.

See Guild Triumphs from Broken Realms: Be’lakor for additional triumphs.

Stick to the Code

The Code guides every aspect of the Kharadron’s lives.

When you choose a Kharadron Overlords army, you can pick 1 artycle, 1 amendment and 1 footnote for your army from the tables below. Alternatively, you can roll a D3 on each table to determine your army’s interpretation of the Kharadron Code.

Artycle Table

D3	Artycle
1	Honour is Everything: You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS HEROES that target a HERO or MONSTER.
2	Master the Skies: You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by friendly SKYVESSELS that target a unit that can fly.
3	Settle the Grudges: After armies are set up but before the first battle round begins, pick 1 enemy unit. You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS units that target that unit.

Amendment Table

D3	Amendment
1	Always Take What You Are Owed: Pick up to D3 different KHARADRON OVERLORDS units in your army. Each of those units starts the battle with 1 share of aether-gold in addition to any they normally receive.
2	Prosecute Wars With All Haste: In your first turn, friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS units can run and still shoot later in the turn.
3	Trust To Your Guns: Add 1 to the Bravery characteristic of friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS units while they are more than 3" from any enemy units.

Footnote Table

D3	Footnote
1	There’s No Reward Without Risk: Once per battle, you can re-roll a charge roll for a friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS unit.
2	There’s No Trading With Some People: Once per battle, a friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS unit that has run and/or retreated in the same turn can still shoot and/or charge.
3	Without Our Ships, We Are Naught: Once per battle, you can heal up to D3 wounds allocated to a friendly SKYVESSEL.

Perks of Rank

ARKANAUT ADMIRAL only.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

Masterwrought Armour

This finely wrought and detailed suit of armour is the acme of the armourer’s art.

Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to the bearer. On a 6, that wound or mortal wound is negated.

Hammer of Aetheric Might

When swung with enough force, this weapon can release its supercharged aether-energies in a brilliant flash.

Pick 1 of the bearer’s melee weapons. If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with that weapon is 6, that attack inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to its normal damage.

Aethermatic Instruments

AETHERIC NAVIGATOR only.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

This intricate device adds to the fury of any aetherstorm that its bearer creates.

When you use the bearer’s Aetherstorm ability, add 1 to the dice roll that determines its effect.

Svaregg-Stein ‘Illuminator’ Flarepistol

This highly prized ranging pistol lights up its mark, making it an easy target for other skyfarers and vessels that shoot at it.

The first time in a battle that the bearer’s Ranging Pistol scores a hit on an enemy unit, you can re-roll hit rolls for attacks made by other friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS units that target that enemy unit in the same phase.

Voidstone Orb

This small, unassuming black globe contains the power to disrupt spells that an enemy might try to cast.

Once per battle, when you use the bearer’s Aethersight ability, you can say that the bearer will use their Voidstone Orb. If you do so, the dispelling or unbinding roll for that use of the ability is automatically successful (do not roll the dice).

Ingenious Gadgets

ENDRINMASTER only.

Endrinmaster with Endrinharness

ARTEFACT OF POWER

Cogmonculus

This small cogwork automaton keeps the Endrinmaster’s equipment in perfect working order.

Once per phase, you can re-roll 1 hit or wound roll for an attack made by the bearer, or re-roll 1 save roll for an attack that targets the bearer. You cannot use this ability to re-roll more than 1 dice per phase.

2	Aetherquartz Monolens This expertly crafted crystal lens greatly increases the range of any Gaze of Grungni projector it is attached to. The bearer’s Gaze of Grungni has a Range of 18" instead of 9".

Seismic Shock-gauntlets

When the bearer moves swiftly, these kinetically powered gauntlets gather large amounts of energy that can be unleashed upon contact with the foe.

After the bearer makes a charge move, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of the bearer and roll a dice. On a 2+, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit

ARTEFACT OF POWER

Aether-injection Boosters

These powerful boot-jets allow the wearer to quickly escape from combat.

When the bearer retreats, they can use the Disengage and Fly High abilities from the Grundstok Gunhauler warscroll.

Once per battle, in your shooting phase, you can pick 1 unit within 6" of this model and roll a dice. On a 2+, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound you can roll again. Keep on rolling until the target is destroyed or you roll a 1.

3	Miniaturised Aethermatic Repulsion Field This small device pushes arcane energies away from the one who carries it. Each time the bearer is affected by a spell or endless spell, you can roll a dice. If you do so, on a 3+, ignore the effects of that spell on the bearer.

Aether-gold Inventions

AETHER-KHEMIST only.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

Emergency Ventplates

When these vents are triggered they belch forth an opaque cloud of harmless vapour that hides the Aether-Khemist from sight.

Once per battle, at the start of the enemy shooting phase, you can say that the bearer will use their Emergency Ventplates. If you do so, until the end of that phase, subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target the bearer and attacks that target friendly units wholly within 6" of the bearer.

Caustic Anatomiser

When special gas canisters in this anatomiser are triggered, the bearer is surrounded by a dense cloud of deadly corrosive gas.

Once per battle, at the start of the combat phase, you can say that the bearer will use their Caustic Anatomiser. If you do so, roll a dice for each enemy model within 6" of this model. For each 5+, that model’s unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Spell in a Bottle

This Aether-Khemist has used the alchemical arts to transmute an endless spell into an inert gas and trap it in a carefully crafted container. When the container is shattered, the endless spell is freed.

Pick 1 endless spell. Any endless spell can be chosen (all restrictions are ignored) but you must pay any points required for the model. Once per battle, the bearer can automatically cast that endless spell (do not roll 2D6) and it cannot be unbound.

Great Endrinworks

If a Kharadron Overlords army includes any SKYVESSELS, 1 of those SKYVESSELS can have a great endrinwork. Declare which SKYVESSEL has the great endrinwork and then pick which great endrinwork table you wish to use. You can choose or roll for a great endrinwork from the table you pick. You can choose 1 extra SKYVESSEL to have a great endrinwork for each warscroll battalion in your army. A SKYVESSEL cannot have more than 1 great endrinwork, and an army may not include duplicates of the same great endrinwork.

GREAT ENDRINWORK

The Last Word

When all seems lost, this vessel’s greatest weapon continues to thunder.

2	Hegsson Solutions ‘Old Reliable’ Hullplates These hullplates are renowned for their ability to absorb damage without failing. Add 2 to this model’s Wounds characteristic.

3	Ebullient Buoyancy Aid This aetherenhancing unit increases the buoyancy of even the largest ships, making it particularly useful in thin atmospheres. This model can Fly High and/or Disengage even while it has a garrison of 16 or more models.

4	Prudency Chutes These reliable safety devices allow passengers to safely evacuate a crippled skyvessel. If this model is destroyed, you do not have to roll to see if models in its garrison are slain (they all survive).

5	Magnificent Omniscope This apparatus makes the winds aetheric clearly visible to the ship’s Navigator. Add 2" to this model’s Move characteristic.

Zonbarcorp ‘Dealbreaker’ Battle Ram

The Dealbreaker is a large battering ram that smashes opponents to the ground.

After this model makes a charge move, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of this model, and roll a number of dice equal to the charge roll for that charge move. For each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Frigate Refittings

ARKANAUT FRIGATE only.

GREAT ENDRINWORK

Magnificent Omniscope

This apparatus makes the winds aetheric clearly visible to the ship’s Navigator.

Add 2" to this model’s Move characteristic.

2	Prudency Chutes These reliable safety devices allow passengers to safely evacuate a crippled skyvessel. If this skyvessel is destroyed, you do not have to roll to see if models in its garrison are slain (they all survive).

Malefic Skymines

Invented during the Great Harpy Migrations, these mines pack a mean punch.

Once per battle, at the start of the combat phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit that can fly and is within 6" of this model and roll a dice. On a 2-3, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. On a 4+, that enemy unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.

Gunhauler Modifications

GRUNDSTOK GUNHAULER only.

GREAT ENDRINWORK

Iggrind-Kaz Surge-injection Endrin Mk. IV

This skyvessel’s endrinsphere lets its Captain boost it across the skies, though at the risk of the endrinsphere overheating.

When this model makes a normal move or retreats, you can add D3" to that move. If you wish, you can add 2D3" to that move instead of D3", but if you do so and you roll a double, then this model suffers 1 mortal wound after the move is made.

Zonbarcorp ‘Debtsettler’ Spar Torpedo

A powerful torpedo is mounted to the front of this skyvessel at the end of a sturdy spar. When the warhead strikes an object, it explodes with devastating force.

Once per battle, after this model makes its first charge move, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of this model and roll a dice. On a 2+, that enemy unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.

Coalbeard’s Collapsible Compartments

This Gunhauler is fitted with small compartments that allow it to carry passengers.

This model can use the FLYING TRANSPORT ability from the Arkanaut Ironclad warscroll. If it does so, the maximum number of models that can garrison it is 5 instead of 25, and it can always Fly High and/or Disengage no matter how many models are in its garrison.

Sky-ports

These rules can be used by units in a Kharadron Overlords army that have been given the appropriate keyword (see the Sky-ports Battle Trait).

Barak-Mhornar, the City of Shadow

What some call piracy, those of Barak-Mhornar simply view as clever opportunism. Always skirting the boundaries of accepted practice when it comes to matters of the Code, these duardin prefer to strike without warning, killing their quarry and stripping them of anything valuable before disappearing into the shadows.

ABILITIES

Fearsome Raiders: By attacking rapidly from unexpected quarters, the denizens of the City of Shadow strike fear in the hearts of their foes.

Subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of enemy units while they are within 6" of any friendly BARAK-MHORNAR units.

KHARADRON CODE

Your army must use the following interpretation of the Kharadron Code:

Artycle – Seek New Prospects: You can re-roll battleshock tests for friendly BARAK-MHORNAR units while they are wholly within your opponent’s territory.

Amendment – Prosecute Wars With All Haste: In your first turn, friendly BARAK-MHORNAR units can run and still shoot later in the turn.

Footnote – Who Strikes First, Strikes Hardest: Once per battle, at the start of your combat phase, you can pick 1 friendly BARAK-MHORNAR unit that is within 3" of an enemy unit. That friendly unit fights at the start of that combat phase, but cannot fight again in that combat phase unless an ability or spell allows it to fight more than once.

COMMAND TRAIT

A BARAK-MHORNAR general must have this command trait instead of one listed in Command Traits section.

Opportunistic Privateer: This feared buccaneer strikes swiftly and without warning, crushing their enemies before they have a chance to react.

If this general is part of the garrison of a SKYVESSEL that is on is on the battlefield after armies are set up but before the first battle round begins, you can remove that SKYVESSEL from the battlefield and set it up again anywhere more than 9" from any enemy units. If you do so, that SKYVESSEL cannot make a normal move or retreat in the first battle round, and units in its garrison cannot leave the garrison in the first battle round.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The first BARAK-MHORNAR NAVIGATOR to receive an artefact of power must be given the Galeforce Stave.

Galeforce Stave: This mighty device can be used to direct great gusts of aetheric winds at a charging foe, slowing their charge down to a crawl.

At the start of the enemy charge phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 12" of the bearer. Halve charge rolls for that unit in that phase.

Barak-Nar, City of the First Sunrise

The brightest jewel in the Kharadron empire is the sky-port of Barak-Nar. A titan of cutting-edge science and industry, the City of the First Sunrise can boast more airfleets than any of its rivals, each commanded by an intrepid officer armed to the teeth with the latest aethermatic weaponry.

ABILITIES

Scholars and Commanders: The leaders of Barak-Nar embrace the laws of science, using the knowledge they have gained to help defeat their foes.

At the start of the first battle round, roll a dice for each friendly BARAK-NAR HERO on the battlefield (including any that are part of a garrison). For each 4+, you receive 1 extra command point.

KHARADRON CODE

Your army must use the following interpretation of the Kharadron Code:

Artycle – Respect Your Commanders: You can re-roll battleshock tests for friendly BARAK-NAR units while they are wholly within 12" of a friendly BARAK-NAR HERO.

Amendment – Trust Aethermatics, Not Superstition: Each BARAK-NAR HERO can attempt to unbind 1 spell in the enemy hero phase. If they can already attempt to unbind a spell, they can attempt to unbind 1 extra spell in the enemy hero phase.

Footnote – Through Knowledge, Power: Add 1 to unbinding rolls for BARAK-NAR HEROES.

COMMAND TRAIT

A BARAK-NAR general must have this command trait instead of one listed in Command Traits section.

Champion of Progress: Barak-Nar is at the very forefront of the Kharadron Overlords’ advance, and the confidence of their leaders is palpable.

Do not take battleshock test for friendly BARAK-NAR units while they are wholly within 12" of this general.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The first BARAK-NAR HERO to receive an artefact of power must be given the Aethercharged Rune.

Aethercharged Rune: This rune is infused with a glowing charge of aether-power, which can be drawn upon by its bearer when the need arises.

Once per battle you can change either 1 hit roll for an attack made by the bearer or 1 save roll for an attack that targets the bearer to the roll of your choice.

Barak-Thryng, City of the Ancestors

Truculent, ill-tempered, stuck in the past and set in their ways: these are just a few terms used by rival sky-ports to describe those who hail from Barak-Thryng. These ultra-conservative duardin judge everything against the glories of the past, and inevitably find that it measures short.

ABILITIES

Incredibly Stubborn: The warriors of Barak-Thryng will often deny death long enough to get in a last blow.

If a friendly SKYFARERS model is slain while it is within 3" of an enemy unit, roll a dice. On a 4+, that model can fight before it is removed from play.

KHARADRON CODE

Your army must use the following interpretation of the Kharadron Code:

Artycle – Chronicle of Grudges: After armies are set up but before the first battle round begins, pick up to 3 different enemy units. You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by friendly BARAK-THRYNG units that target those units.

Amendment – Take Help Where You Can Get It: 1 in every 4 units in a Barak-Thryng army can be a coalition unit (see below) from the Cities of Sigmar or Fyreslayers faction that has the DUARDIN keyword. Those units gain the BARAK-THRYNG keyword.

COALITION UNITS

Coalition units do not count towards the number of Battleline units in your army. However, they do count towards the maximum number of Leader, Behemoth and Artillery units in your army. Coalition units cannot be generals. In addition, Coalition units are ignored when determining if the units in your army are from a single faction.

Designer’s Note: Coalition units are not allied units, so the limitations that apply to allied units do not apply to them. This means that coalition units can be given one of your army’s enhancements, as long as they have the correct keywords or are of the correct unit type needed to receive it.

Footnote – Honour the Gods, Just in Case: Once per battle, at the start of your shooting phase or a combat phase, you can pick 1 friendly BARAK-THRYNG unit.

Until the end of that phase, unmodified hit rolls of 6 for attacks made by that unit score 2 hits on the target instead of 1. Make a wound and save roll for each hit.

COMMAND TRAIT

A BARAK-THRYNG general must have this command trait instead of one listed in Command Traits section.

Supremely Stubborn: This commander is notoriously stubborn, even for a lord of Barak-Thryng.

When you use the Incredibly Stubborn ability for this general, they can fight on a roll of 2+ instead of 4+.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The first BARAK-THRYNG SKYFARER HERO to receive an artefact of power must be given the Grudgehammer.

Grudgehammer: These ancient and highly revered hammers are said to be especially deadly when they are used to settle long-remembered slights.

Pick one of the bearer’s melee weapons. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that weapon. In addition, if the unmodified wound roll for an attack made by that weapon that targets an enemy unit which was picked for the Chronicle of Grudges artycle is 6, that attack inflicts D3 mortal wounds on the target in addition to any normal damage.

Barak-Urbaz, the Market City

Those of Barak-Urbaz are notorious even amongst the Kharadron for their ability to employ subtleties and technicalities in the Code for their own benefit. This officious attitude is exemplified by the sky-port’s Aether-Khemists, who can wring more power from their alchemical compounds than any of their peers.

ABILITIES

The Market City: Barak-Urbaz Codewrights can squeeze every last drop of profit from any situation.

Do not subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of an BARAK-URBAZ unit that spends a share of aether-gold.

KHARADRON CODE

Your army must use the following interpretation of the Kharadron Code:

Artycle – Seek New Prospects: You can re-roll battleshock tests for friendly BARAK-URBAZ units while they are wholly within your opponent’s territory.

Amendment – Always Take What You Are Owed: Pick up to D3 different friendly BARAK-URBAZ units. Each of those units starts the battle with 1 share of aether-gold in addition to any they normally receive.

Footnote – Where There’s War, There’s Gold: Once per battle, at the end of the combat phase, 1 friendly SKYFARERS unit that fought in that phase gains 1 share of aether-gold.

COMMAND TRAIT

A BARAK-URBAZ GENERAL THAT IS AN AETHER-KHEMIST must have this command trait instead of one listed in Command Traits section.

Khemist Supreme: The Aether-Khemists of Barak- Urbaz are paragons of their chemical-based craft.

Replace the rules for this general’s Aetheric Augmentation ability with: ‘In your hero phase you can pick 2 friendly SKYFARERS units wholly within 12" of this model. Until your next hero phase, you can re-roll wound rolls of 1 for attacks made by those units. This ability cannot be used by an AETHER-KHEMIST that is part of a garrison, or on a friendly unit that is part of a garrison.’

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The first BARAK-URBAZ SKYVESSEL to receive a great endrinwork must be given the Breath of Morgrim.

Breath of Morgrim: The prow of this skyvessel has been modified to belch forth great clouds of toxic gas.

In your shooting phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit and roll 1 dice for each model from that unit within 6" of the bearer. For each 6, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Barak-Zilfin, the Windswept City

There are no finer aeronautical sailors than those out of Barak-Zilfin, as they themselves are only too happy to point out. On countless occasions the skilful manoeuvres and breathtaking speed of the sky-port’s elite airfleets have carried the day against seemingly impossible odds.

ABILITIES

Magnificent Skyvessels: The skyvessels of the Barak-Zilfin fleets are second to none.

You can choose 1 extra SKYVESSEL in your army to have a great endrinwork.

KHARADRON CODE

Your army must use the following interpretation of the Kharadron Code:

Artycle – Master the Skies: You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by friendly SKYVESSELS that target a unit that can fly.

Amendment – Don’t Argue With the Wind: In your movement phase, if you declare a friendly BARAK-ZILFIN unit will run, do not make a run roll. Instead, add 6" to the Move characteristic of all models in that unit for that phase.

Footnote – There’s Always a Breeze If You Look For It: Once per battle, in your hero phase, 1 friendly BARAK-ZILFIN unit can make a normal move, or retreat or disengage.

COMMAND TRAIT

A BARAK-ZILFIN general that is an ARKANAUT ADMIRAL must have this command trait instead of one listed in Command Traits section.

Master Commander: The Admirals of Barak-Zilfin read their fleets’ movements with expert skill, reacting swiftly when opportunity presents itself.

If this general is part of your army and on the battlefield, each time you spend a command point to use a command ability on this general’s warscroll, roll a dice. On a 5+, you receive 1 extra command point.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The first BARAK-ZILFIN HERO to receive an artefact of power must be given the Staff of Ocular Optimisation.

Staff of Ocular Optimisation: Highly refined lenses and aether filters allow the owner of this device to accurately see through any murk.

Pick 1 of the bearer’s missile weapons. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that weapon.

Barak-Zon, City of the Sun

Highly militaristic and prideful of their unrivalled martial heritage, Arkanauts of Barak-Zon long to prove themselves in battle and earn the famous Ironstar – a medal awarded only for acts of exceptional valour. There are no finer soldiers in all the sky-ports than those trained within the drillhouses of the City of the Sun.

ABILITIES

Deeds, Not Words: The martially minded warriors of Barak-Zon are famous for taking the fight straight to the foe, launching glorious charges that see them strike at the foe with great vigour.

Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by friendly SKYFARERS units that made a charge move in the same turn, and add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by friendly SKYWARDENS units that made a charge move in the same turn.

KHARADRON CODE

Your army must use the following interpretation of the Kharadron Code:

Artycle – Honour is Everything: You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by friendly BARAK-ZON HEROES that target a HERO or MONSTER.

Amendment – Leave No Duardin Behind: Add 2 to the Bravery characteristic of friendly SKYFARERS units while they are wholly within 12" of a friendly SKYVESSEL.

Footnote – Show Them Your Steel: Once per battle, in your hero phase, 1 friendly SKYFARERS unit that is part of a garrison on a SKYVESSEL can leave that garrison. Set up that unit wholly within 3" of that SKYVESSEL and more than 9" from any enemy units.

COMMAND TRAIT

A BARAK-ZON general must have this command trait instead of one listed in Command Traits section.

Bearer of the Ironstar: The famed Ironstar of Barak-Zon is awarded only for feats of singular valour.

The first time this general is slain, before removing them, roll a dice. On a 2+ they are not slain, you can heal up to D3 wounds allocated to them, and any wounds remaining to be allocated to them are negated.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The first BARAK-ZON HERO to receive an artefact of power must be given the Aethersped Hammer.

Aethersped Hammer: This aethermatically enhanced hammer allows the user to strike again and again at ferocious speed.

Pick 1 of the bearer’s melee weapons. Add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of that weapon.

Guild Triumphs

If you have a Kharadron Overlords army, when you pick a triumph, you can choose from the triumphs in the following tables in addition to any other triumphs you can choose from.

Universal Triumphs

Universal Triumphs from Core Rules.

Bloodthirsty

Victory has made this army eager for the fight.

Once per battle, after you make a charge roll for a friendly unit, you can say that it is bloodthirsty. If you do so, you can re-roll that charge roll.

Inspired

The warriors of this army are filled with such conviction that they cut down their foes without pause or mercy.

Once per battle, after you pick a friendly unit to shoot or fight, you can say that it is inspired. If you do so, add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made by that unit until the end of that phase.

Indomitable

The dauntless warriors that make up this army will stand fast even in the face of overwhelming odds.

Once per battle, after you take a battleshock test for a friendly unit, you can say it is indomitable. If you do so, no models from that unit will flee in that battleshock phase.


	Aether-khemists Guild Overcharged Aetheric Augmentation: Once per battle, before a friendly AETHER-KHEMIST uses their Aetheric Augmentation ability, you can say that it is overcharged. If you do so, you can instead pick 1 friendly SKYFARERS unit wholly within 18" of that model. If that model has the Khemist Supreme command trait, you can instead pick 2 friendly SKYFARERS units wholly within 18" of that model. In both cases, the ability can be used even if the AETHER-KHEMIST is part of a garrison but only on SKYFARERS units that are part of the same garrison as the AETHER-KHEMIST. Large-calibre Augmentation: Once per battle, when a friendly SKYVESSEL that has an AETHER-KHEMIST in its garrison is picked to shoot, you can say that they will perform large-calibre augmentation. If you do so, pick 1 missile weapon that the SKYVESSEL is armed with. You can re-roll wound rolls of 1 for attacks made with that weapon until the end of that phase.


	Nav-league Focused Aethersight: Once per battle, before a friendly AETHERIC NAVIGATOR attempts to dispel an endless spell or unbind a spell, you can say that they will focus their aethersight. If you do so, you can re-roll that dispelling roll or unbinding roll. Ride the Storm: Once per battle, before a friendly AETHERIC NAVIGATOR that is in a SKYVESSEL’s garrison uses their Aetherstorm ability, you can say that they will ride the storm. If you do so, add D6" to that SKYVESSEL’s Move characteristic until the end of that turn, and you can re-roll run and charge rolls for that SKYVESSEL until the end of that turn.


	Endrineers Guild The Gaffer’s Motivation: Once per battle, in your hero phase, you can pick 1 friendly ENDRINMASTER and say that they will ‘motivate’ their apprentices. If you do so, that ENDRINMASTER can use their By Grungni, I Have My Eye On You! command ability without a command point being spent, and you can add 1 to the number of wounds healed by the ENDRINRIGGERS unit. Blow the Magazine: Once per battle, when a friendly SKYVESSEL that has an ENDRINMASTER in its garrison is destroyed, before you roll to see if models in its garrison are slain, you can say that the Endrinmaster will blow the magazine. If you do so, roll a dice. On a 1, nothing happens. On a 2-3, each enemy unit within 3" of that SKYVESSEL suffers 1 mortal wound. On a 4-5, each enemy unit within 3" of that SKYVESSEL suffers D3 mortal wounds. On a 6, each enemy unit within 3" of that SKYVESSEL suffers D6 mortal wounds. Then, roll to see if garrisoned models are slain, set up survivors and remove the SKYVESSEL from play, as described in the FLYING TRANSPORT rules.

Battleplans


	Battleplan Prospectors Down! The life of an Arkanaut is a dangerous one, and every duardin knows the risks of their profession. Many are the vessels that have been lost to mishap, monster or maelstrom, with no trace of their crews. Occasionally, however, the survivors of such an event manage to get a message back to their kin, and a rescue mission is launched with all haste. It becomes a race to recover the lost duardin – and their aether-gold – before anyone else discovers them. This battleplan lets you stage a daring rescue with your force of Kharadron Overlords, even as the enemy bears down on the survivors, intent on their destruction. THE ARMIES Each player picks an army. One player is the Kharadron Overlords player. The other player is the Opportunist. The Kharadron Overlords player must use a Kharadron Overlords army, and it must include at least 1 unit that can fly and 1 unit that cannot fly. Contingents Once the Kharadron Overlords player has picked their army, they must split it into a survivors contingent and a rescuers contingent. Each contingent must have at least 1 unit. The survivors cannot include any units that can fly. The rescuers must all be able to fly, or arrive on the battlefield as part of the garrison of a rescuers unit that can fly. The Kharadron Overlords player can pick 2 generals instead of 1. One general must be part of the survivors contingent, and 1 general must be part of the rescuers contingent. THE BATTLEFIELD The Kharadron player must first set up 1 terrain feature wholly within their territory. Set up the rest of the terrain as described in the core rules. SET-UP The Kharadron Overlords player sets up their survivors contingent first, wholly within their territory. The rescuers contingent starts the battle in reserve, and will arrive as described later. The Opportunist then sets up their army wholly within their territory, more than 12" from enemy units. The territories are shown on the map below. FIRST TURN The Opportunist takes the first turn in the first battle round. COMMAND ABILITIES The following additional command abilities can be used in this battle. Sell Your Lives Dearly: The leader of the survivors knows that they are out of time, and they prepare to make the enemy pay. The Kharadron Overlords player can use this command ability in the combat phase if the general of the survivors contingent is on the battlefield. If they do so, until the end of that phase, when a friendly Kharadron Overlords model from the survivors contingent is slain within 12" of the general of the survivors contingent, roll a dice before the slain model is removed from play. On a 5+, that model can shoot before it is removed. Here Comes the Fleet: The commander of the relief force boldly promises the rescue of the beleaguered duardin on the ground. The Kharadron Overlords player can use this command ability in the battleshock phase if the general of the rescuers contingent is on the battlefield. If they do so, until the end of that phase, do not take battleshock tests for friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS units wholly within 24" of the general of the rescuers contingent. Strike Fast: The general of the Kharadron’s foes urges their warriors on, demanding that they kill the survivors of the crash before any reinforcements arrive. The Opportunist can use this command ability in their hero phase if their general is on the battlefield. If they do so, the Opportunist can re-roll run or charge rolls for Opportunist units until their next hero phase. RIDE OF THE OVERLORDS At the end of the Kharadron Overlords’ first movement phase, the Kharadron Overlords player must set up the rescuers contingent. The Kharadron Overlords players rolls a dice and consults the map to see which edge of the battlefield corresponds with that roll. If the roll is a 5 or 6, they can choose the edge. They must set up all of the units in the rescuers contingents, wholly within 12" of that edge and more than 9" from any enemy units. BATTLE LENGTH The battle lasts until a player wins a major victory or for 5 battle rounds, whichever happens first. GLORIOUS VICTORY If the Opportunist has no models on the battlefield at the end of a battle round, the Kharadron Overlords player wins a major victory. If the Kharadron Overlords player has no models from the survivors contingent on the battlefield at the end of a battle round, the Opportunist wins a major victory. If half or more of the models from the survivors contingent are still on the battlefield at the end of the fifth battle round, the Kharadron Overlords player wins a minor victory. If less than half of the models from the survivors contingent are still on the battlefield at the end of the fifth battle round, the Opportunist wins a minor victory.

Battleplan

Mutiny on the Aelsling

‘Mutiny! And they’ve released the prisoners!’

The call comes from the midships. Drekki Flynt lifts one hand from the Aelsling’s wheel and unholsters his triplebarrelled pistol before turning to his loyal deckhands. ‘Let’s show them how the crew of the Aelsling deal with traitors!’

‘Harkraken!’ Shouts the Aetheric Navigator in the main endrinsphere’s viewing bay. It’s never just one crisis at a time for Drekki Flynt.

THE ARMIES

One player is the admiral and their opponent is the mutineer. The normal rules for picking armies are not used and neither are allegiance abilities. Instead, each player’s army consists of 1-5 HEROES, each with a Wounds characteristic of 6 or less.

All units included in the admiral’s army must have the ORDER keyword. In addition, the admiral’s army must include Drekki Flynt.

The mutineer can include HEROES from any faction in their army.

Neither army can include any HEROES with a mount. Summoned units cannot be added to your army.

THE BATTLEFIELD

The battle is fought on a 30" x 22" battlefield. The battlefield comprises the deck and the sky, as shown on the map. In addition, the deck is divided into 3 sections: the stern, the midships and the bow. The players set up the battlefield terrain together so that it represents Drekki’s ship, the Aelsling, and the surrounding sky. 1 terrain feature or token must be placed within the stern to represent the ship’s wheel, as shown on the map.

Designer’s Note: A simple way to represent the Aelsling can be to mark out its boundaries with sheets of paper. You could even use cotton wool to represent clouds!

DEPLOYMENT

The admiral sets up their HEROES first, each wholly within the stern or the bow. No more than half of the admiral’s HEROES (rounding up) can be set up in either area. Then, the mutineer sets up their HEROES wholly within the midships and more than 6" from all enemy HEROES.

SWASHBUCKLING HEROES

The normal rules for receiving command points and using command abilities are not used. Instead, at the start of each hero phase, each player receives D3 command points (each player rolls separately). At the end of the battle round, any command points which have not been used are lost. Command points can be spent on the following abilities during the battle:

Daring Rope Swing: At the start of your movement phase, you can pick 1 friendly HERO and spend 1 command point for them to make a daring rope swing instead of any other kind of move in that phase. If you do so, that HERO can move up to 12" in the same manner as a unit that can fly, and can end that move within 3" of any enemy HEROES. In addition, each time a HERO makes a daring rope swing, add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made by that HERO until the end of the turn.

Deliver a Riposte: After an enemy HERO has made a pile-in move (or they have just had the opportunity to do so but remained in place), you can spend a command point for 1 friendly HERO within 3" of them to deliver a riposte. Each player secretly picks a number from 1-3 and conceals a dice showing that number behind their hand, before both dice are revealed. If the numbers on the dice are the same, the enemy HERO’s attacks are resolved as normal. If the numbers on the dice are different, that HERO’s attacks are said to be have been parried and they cannot make attacks in that phase.

When an enemy HERO’s attacks are parried, pick a point on the battlefield and roll a D3. Both that enemy HERO and the friendly HERO you picked move up to a number of inches equal to that dice roll. Both HEROES must move in the same direction and must finish the move as close as possible to the point that you picked. If the move would take the friendly HERO off the deck, that HERO can finish that move at the edge of the deck instead.

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Bugman’s!: At the start of the combat phase, you can pick any number of friendly HEROES and spend 1 command point for each to drink a bottle of Bugman’s XXXXXX. If you do so, you can heal up to D3 wounds allocated to each of those HEROES (roll separately for each). However, on the unmodified roll of a 1, the strike-last effect is also applied to that HERO until the end of the phase.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

If a model that cannot fly finishes a move not on the deck, it is immediately slain.

THE HARKRAKEN

At the start of the hero phase, before anything else is resolved, the player whose turn it is rolls a dice and consults the Harkraken Behaviours table below.

BATTLE LENGTH

The battle lasts for 6 battle rounds.

GLORIOUS VICTORY

The wheel is treated as an objective, however HEROES can only contest it while they are within 3" of it and no enemy HEROES are within 3" of it. The mutineer wins a major victory if they gain control of the wheel. The admiral wins a major victory if all enemy HEROES are slain. If neither player has won a major victory by the end of the battle, the admiral wins a minor victory.

D6	HARKRAKEN BEHAVIOURS
1-4	Tentacular Strike: A mighty tentacle crashes down onto the deck, rocking the Aelsling and knocking those nearby off their feet. The dice roll corresponds to a quarter of the battlefield as shown on the map. Roll a dice for each HERO within that quarter of the deck. On a 4+, the opposing player can move that HERO D6", even if it is within 3" of any enemy HEROES. DREKKI FLYNT is only affected on a 6.
5	Pulled Into the Depths: A slimy tentacle wraps around the leg of a hapless hero, seeking to drag them overboard. The players roll off. The winner picks 1 enemy HERO and rolls a dice, adding the number of wounds currently allocated to that HERO to the roll. If the roll exceeds that HERO’s Wounds characteristic they are immediately slain – the tentacle pulls them overboard, screaming, never to be seen again! DREKKI FLYNT cannot be picked as the tentacle’s target.
6	Shadows Below: The harkraken circles beneath the Aelsling, searching for a weak point... No effect.

Classic Path to Glory

Path to Glory campaigns centre around collecting and fighting battles with a warband in the Age of Sigmar. Champions fight each other and gather followers to join them in their quest for glory, taking advantage of this age of unending battle to win glory and renown.

In order to play Path to Glory campaigns you have to follow rules described here.


	These Path to Glory campaign rules are not compatible with the latest version of the Path to Glory rules from the Core Book. You can still use them to run a ‘classic’ Path to Glory campaign, or you can use the rules from the Core Book to run a ‘modern’ Path to Glory campaign.

These warriors see great honour in taking the fight straight to the foe.

Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by this unit if it made a charge move in the same turn.

2	Incredibly Stubborn These duardin are extremely tenacious, and will often deny death long enough to get in one last telling blow. If a model from this unit is slain while it is within 3" of enemy unit, roll a dice. On a 6, that model can fight before it is removed from play.

3	Fearsome Raiders These skyfarers attack rapidly from unexpected quarters, striking fear into the hearts of their foes. Subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of enemy units while they are within 6" of any friendly units with this ability.

Remove this model and those units from the battlefield and then set them up again anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from any enemy units and so that all of the units are wholly within 12" of this model. Units set up in this way cannot make a normal move, run or retreat in the first battle round.

PATH TO GLORY

This section contains rules for using a Kharadron Overlords army on a Path to Glory campaign. It includes additional rules, quests, veteran abilities and unique territories that can only be used by a Kharadron Overlords army.

Skyvessels

If a SKYVESSEL is destroyed in a Path to Glory battle, do not make an injury roll or casualty roll for it. Instead, roll on the Skyvessel Damage table below. In each aftermath sequence, you can re-roll 1 roll on this table by spending 1 glory point. You must choose whether to re-roll before rolling for the next unit.

2D6	Skyvessel Damage Table
2-3	Wrecked: Crashing into the scarred earth with an ear-splitting explosion, nothing remains of this once mighty vessel and her crew. Remove this unit from your order of battle.
4	Hull Breach: A gaping hole in the side of the ship has been hastily boarded up, but it needs extensive repairs to survive more than its next battle. In your next battle, if this unit is included in your army, subtract 1 from its Save characteristic.
5	Damaged Propeller: Until proper repairs are made, this vessel cannot reach full velocity. In your next battle, if this unit is included in your army, subtract 2" from its Move characteristic.
6	Punctured Endrin: A loss of pressure in the main endrin-turbine prevents this vessel from reaching higher altitudes. In your next battle, if this unit is included in your army, it cannot use its Fly High ability.
7	Unstable Footing: Repairs are needed to the rigging and suspension coils of the endrins. Until they are carried out, the ship pitches and shakes aggressively, making it difficult to aim. In your next battle, if this unit is included in your army, subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks made with missile weapons by this unit.
8-11	Scratches and Dents: A lick of fresh paint and she’ll be ready for battle once more. No effect.
12	It’ll Take More Than That!: The Maker’s blessing - or good old-fashioned fortune - seems to swaddle this vessel, and in the aftermath of battle it rises out of the clouds with hardly a scratch upon its paintwork. This unit gains 2D6 renown points. In addition, in your next battle, if this unit is included in your army, it has a ward of 6+.

Kharadron Overlords Quests

If your army is a Kharadron Overlords army, you can pick the following quest for your Path to Glory roster.


	QUEST Negotiate Endrin-contract The masters of the Endrineers guilds can be miserly with their latest and greatest creations. Before securing such potent technologies, you’ll have to prove your mettle to them. Pick 1 SKYVESSEL unit from your order of battle that does not have a Great Endrinwork enhancement, and pick 1 Great Endrinwork it is eligible for. Note these down in your quest log. At the end of a Path to Glory battle, you complete this quest if that unit was included in your army, was not destroyed and gained 3 or more renown points after the battle. When you complete this quest, you can add the Great Endrinwork you picked to your vault, but it can only be given to the unit you picked when you embarked on this quest (note down the name of the unit next to the Great Endrinwork). If that unit is removed from your order of battle, then remove the Great Endrinwork from your vault too.

Veteran Abilities

Each time a KHARADRON OVERLORDS unit on your Path to Glory roster gains a veteran ability, you can pick 1 of the veteran abilities from the table below instead of the table found in the core rules.

KHARADRON OVERLORDS VETERAN ABILITIES

High-altitude aether-boosters: Though extremely hungry for aether-power, these downsized endrins can be used to rapidly reposition a band of duardin skyfarers.

SKYFARERS unit only. This unit can use this veteran ability once per battle at the start of your movement phase. If it does so, remove this unit from the battlefield and set it up to one side as a reserve unit. At the start of the next charge phase, set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from all enemy units.

Grudgebreaker Rounds: These wealthy duardin keep a supply of high-velocity Grudgebreaker Rounds close to hand, all the better to deal with the most heavily armoured of foes.

This unit can use this veteran ability once per battle when it is picked to shoot in the shooting phase. If it does so, improve the Rend characteristic of this unit’s missile weapons by 1 until the end of that phase. When a unit uses this veteran ability, it cannot benefit from the Arkanaut Admiral’s Aether-powered Munitions ability in the same phase.

Voidstone Scatter Mines: A skyvessel armed with these special-issue mines can traverse even the most hostile of magical tides.

SKYVESSEL unit only. Once per battle, this unit can use this veteran ability at the start of the enemy hero phase. If it does so, until the end of the phase, each time this unit is affected by a spell or the ability of an endless spell, you can roll a dice. On a 2+, ignore the effect of that spell or the effects of that endless spell’s ability on that unit.

Territories

When making an exploration roll, if the roll is 61-66, that roll will correspond to a territory on the table below. Alternatively, you can pick 1 result from the Territories table in the Core Book that corresponds to a roll of 21-42.

KHARADRON OVERLORDS TERRITORIES (D66)

61-62 DOCKSIDE WORKSHOP
A fifty per cent investment in a large workshop situated in the docking district of your sky-port secures you the means to commission more sky vessels for your growing fleet.

Increase your WAR MACHINES limit by 2.

[Upgrade 10GP] Great Endrinhall: Increase your WAR MACHINES limit by 4 instead of 2. In addition, each time you roll on the Skyvessel Damage table, you can spend 1 glory point to re-roll the result.

63-64 ALEHOUSE
Buying a sizeable stake in this alehouse gives the duardin of your fleet a place to rest and recover their spirits in the wake of battle. The only thing it is missing is a supply of Bugman’s legendary tipple, XXXXXX.

Reduce the cost of recuperating units on your Order of Battle by 1 glory point (to a minimum of 1).

[Upgrade 15GP] XXXXXX on Tap: Add 1 to recuperating rolls.

65-66 AETHERGOLD VAULT
Every self-respecting Admiral has a vault to call their own - a place to store their vast aethergold reserves and keep their crew secure in the knowledge that their shares are protected.

When fighting a battle against another Path to Glory army, at the start of the battle, pick 1 friendly unit to have 1 additional share of aethergold.

[Upgrade 20GP] Grand Vault: Pick 3 friendly units instead of 1 to have 1 additional share of aethergold. The same unit cannot be picked more than once.

Heroic Upgrades

During your Path to Glory campaign, you may be able to pick heroic upgrades for your HEROES. A heroic upgrade replaces the warscroll of a HERO with another, more powerful one and represents them becoming a mighty champion in your army.

You can pick a heroic upgrade in step 7 of the aftermath sequence. To do so, consult the table below and pick 1 of the eligible options. Each heroic upgrade lists the warscroll the HERO will be upgraded to, which warscroll is required, the amount of renown points that HERO must have and the amount of glory points you must spend. Once you have picked a heroic upgrade, replace your HERO’s warscroll on your order of battle with the new one chosen. You can pick only 1 heroic upgrade in each aftermath sequence.

If the new warscroll is a type that is limited on your order of battle - for example, if it is a MONSTER - you will need to have increased your order of battle limits to accommodate it before it can be upgraded.

CORE ENHANCEMENTS

When you pick a heroic upgrade for a HERO, they keep their renown points and any core enhancements that they are still eligible for. If your HERO has any core enhancements that they are no longer eligible for, they lose those core enhancements. If this enables you to pick a new core enhancement for your order of battle, you can do so.

Upgraded Warscroll	Required Warscroll	Required Renown Points	Glory Points Cost
Arkanaut Admiral	KHARADRON OVERLORDS HERO	20	4
Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit	Endrinmaster with Endrinharness	20	4

MATCHED PLAY

If the battlepack you are using says that you must pick grand strategies and battle tactics for your army, you can pick from the following lists as well as those found in the battlepack you are using.

Grand Strategies

After you have picked your army, you can pick the grand strategy below and record it on your army roster.

MASTERS OF THE HIGH AIRS

Kharadron Overlords army only.

Spend Shares to Make Shares: You understand that in the pursuit of profit, a big investment can yield an even bigger payoff. Exploiting every iota of aethergold you carry can oft-times prove the difference between victory and defeat.

When the battle ends, you complete this grand strategy if no unit in your army has a share of aethergold that has not been spent, and at least 1 share of aethergold was spent by friendly units in every battle round.

Battle Tactics

At the start of your hero phase, you can pick 1 battle tactic from the list below. You must reveal your choice to your opponent, and if your battle tactic instructs you to pick something, you must tell your opponent what you pick. You have until the end of that turn to complete the battle tactic. You cannot pick the same battle tactic more than once per battle.

DECREES OF THE CODE

Kharadron Overlords army only.

Bombing Run: Few foes can hope to endure a precision bombing run carried out by a Kharadron flotilla.

Pick 1 enemy unit. You complete this battle tactic if that unit is destroyed during this turn by a friendly model using the Bomb Racks ability.

Mobilise the Fleet: The armies of the Kharadron are adept at quickly mounting their skyvessels, for there is no telling when danger - or profit - will demand a swift response.

You cannot pick this battle tactic in the first battle round. Pick 3 friendly units that are not garrisoned within SKYVESSELS. You complete this battle tactic at the end of this turn if those units are all garrisoned within SKYVESSELS.

Boots on the Ground: Under the covering fire of their ship's weapons, the forces of the Kharadron meet the enemy head-on and drive them back with thundering salvos and stubborn resolve.

Pick 3 friendly units garrisoned in SKYVESSELS. You complete this battle tactic at the end of the turn if those units are all on the battlefield, are not garrisoned and are wholly within enemy territory.

Core Battalions

You can include any of the following core battalions in a Kharadron Overlords army if the battlepack you are using says that you can use core battalions.

	IRON SKY ATTACK SQUADRON

	GRUNDSTOK ESCORT WING

UNIT ICONS
	Arkanaut Ironclad unit
	Arkanaut Frigate unit
	Arkanaut Company unit
	Grundstok Gunhauler unit
	Grundstok Thunderers unit
	Skywardens unit

BATTALION ABILITY ICONS
	Unified: One-drop Deployment (see 26.2.1).
	Expert: Once per battle, 1 unit from this battalion can receive the All-out Attack or All-out Defence command without the command being issued and without a command point being spent.
	Magnificent: When you pick enhancements for your army (see 27.3), you can pick 1 extra enhancement.
	Slayers: Once per battle, 1 unit from this battalion can receive the All-out Attack or Unleash Hell command without the command being issued and without a command point being spent.
	Strategists: Once per battle, when you receive command points at the start of your hero phase, you can receive 1 extra command point.
	Swift: Once per battle, 1 unit from this battalion can receive the At the Double or Forward to Victory command without the command being issued and without a command point being spent.

OPEN PLAY

If the players are using the Open War battlepack from the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book, players using a Kharadron Overlords army can use the following rules as well as those found in the battlepack.

Kharadron Overlords Twist

If the roll on the Twist table is a 1, you can ignore the No Twist result and roll on the following table instead. If both players can roll on a Twist table in this way, so long as those Twist tables are different, each player can roll on their Twist table and both twists are used for the battle (each twist applies to each player, as normal). Both twists are used for the battle.

KHARADRON OVERLORDS TWIST TABLE
D6	Twist
1-3	Aetherstorm: The skies above are filled with a swirling tempest. While rich in aethergold, they are also hazardous to all who venture too high above the battlefield. Each time a unit that can fly runs or charges, roll a dice. On a 4+, it suffers D3 mortal wounds.
4-6	Slipstreams: Channels of high-speed winds crisscross the skies, allowing for swift manoeuvring during battle for all airborne troops. Add 2" to the Move characteristic of units that can fly.

Kharadron Overlords Ruse

When you generate your ruse, you can use the following ruse instead of the one you generate on the Ruse table (choose which to use after you have made your roll on the Ruse table).

Ol’ Reliable:: The crew of this vessel have dubbed one of her guns ‘Ol’ Reliable’, as it never fails to land a hit when most needed.

Once per battle, when a SKYVESSEL shoots, you can pick 1 of its weapons to be Ol’ Reliable. Re-roll hit rolls for attacks made with that weapon until the end of the phase.


	You do not have to pick a target for a charge attempt before making the charge roll.


	If a slain model is returned to its unit in the same turn that it is slain, it still counts as having been slain in that battle round for the purposes of battleshock tests.


	Most rules for artefacts of power refer to the bearer. The bearer is the model to which an artefact of power has been given (see section 27.5.2 for some examples).


	Reserve units are picked as part of your army before the battle begins, while summoned units are units added to your army once the battle is underway. Models that have been removed from play can be used as part of a summoned unit.
