Kharadron Overlords

High above the clouds of the Mortal Realms there thrives an empire of unrivalled prosperity and aerial power.

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.

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.

3	Gattleson’s Endless Repeater Named after its famous inventor, this gun houses an aether-supercharger that gives it a tremendous rate of fire. Add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of the bearer’s Volley Pistol.

Aethermatic Instruments

AETHERIC NAVIGATOR only.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

Cyclonic Aethometer

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

COALITION UNITS

Coalition units are ignored when determining if the units in the army are from a single faction. Coalition units cannot be generals.

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

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.

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.

Path to Glory
