Kharadron Overlords – Aether-Khemist
4" 5 4+ 2 Aether-Khemists are experts in the location and processing of aether-gold. At close quarters they control the air itself, altering the pressure of the local atmosphere by rapidly filling or venting the contents of their holding tanks. It is said that with the use of their aether-sensors, these master alchemists can quite literally sniff out the precious resource they seek, even when it proves otherwise impossible to detect.
An Aether-Khemist fiddles with their instruments, their contribution to the battle seemingly minimal until the enemy finds the air sucked from their lungs. At the push of a button, gaseous chemicals, refined and toxified at need, can be belched out in an esoteric attack – so potent is this killing cloud that it can melt flesh from bone in seconds. Last of the Aether-Khemist’s tricks is the method of maximising the killing power of their comrades’ guns. By releasing a shimmering blanket of golden chem-fog, they can optimise the aethershot of their entourage, enabling each blast to rip through even thick metal plate with ease. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Shooting attacks
Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).Shoot in Combat
