Games Workshop wasn’t lying when they said there was going to be some big reveals this week. The Kharadron Overlords have arrived to Sigmar realms!
The pirates are descending from the skies, and coming to a tabletop near you. The new Duardin faction was released at the GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas, late, late, late in the day Pacific time by their social media team that was at the event.
Come see what Games Workshop had to say about it.
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.
The Kharadron Overlords are joining the fight against Chaos, and we’re starting to see some great looking vehicles come to Age of Sigmar. Are your sea legs ready? What are your thoughts on the new Duardin faction? Let us know in the comments below!
The Gama Trade show still has a couple more days and we’ve already seen more new releases from Games Workshop than what was expected, and they’re still not done. Be sure to check back with us for the latest releases and info coming out of Games Workshop!
