I have to be cheering for my boys, the Kharadron Overlords, before I even see the lists or after the intro to the video is over. I've read the lore so you don't have to, though. Barak-Zilfin have the best aircraft out of all the Skyports available, reflected in having an extra Great Endrinwork, and Frigates are the name of the game with these guys. Their ships and redoubtable pilots sail and explore farther and deeper than any other Skyport. It is ruled by a board of Arkanaut Admirals. There's your lore lesson, free of charge. Let the carnage begin! :D As a somewhat experienced KO player(6 games under my belt so far!), this list isn't bad. The Bomb Artefact is made of fun, but I let consistency rule my thinking when I build these types of lists. Barak Zilfin makes a great Skyport to fit your entire army into a single Battle Regiment by going Frigate-heavy, although I find that KO isn't a faction that you even want to have first turn control on. Your opponent should respect how dangerous the KOs are on a double-turn on Battle Plans where Objectives activate over time. Very little is out of reach to a well-placed Fly High command. Well-played to the both of you. :) Grundstok Thunderers need a points increase. Their special weapon options(Excepting the Decksweeper) are the best choice, and remaining in melee with them(2 wounds each on a 3+ Save are hard to get rid of) with Fumigators is extremely costly. They carry too much weight for their cost at the moment, and good Lord, do they absorb buff juices extremely well with Unleash Hell, All-Out-Attack, Grudgebreaker and Aether-Khemist Rend buffs(Which stack with each other). Deathstar combo detected.
Thank you for the well thought out comment. I felt the power of the thinderers. They closed the deal with every activation and I didnt even have to get into melee to maximize their damage output. I think at 150 per 5, they would still be quite good. We will see what happens with new GHB points increases.
He had the tidecaster on a seperate objective to score cunning. Last minute decision so he could keep her alive. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for watching!
well flown fleet admiral David !! had to redo my comment because i was chatting with michael in the discord before and had things all mixed up. nevertheless, great job flying KO, looking forward to seeing you make some more lists. be happy to help brainstorm if you need too !!
Was so fun to take the Ironclad Thunderer combo. Tons of damage and very defensive too, which I did not get to show off in this video. It the Ironclad gets charged, it can shoot its big gun for free, then you can unleash hell with the Thunderers, then you can drop a supremacy mine for d6 mortal wounds at the start of the enemy combat phase. The Thunderers have that sweet 2+ save in the boat AND they will likely do another 3d3 MW at end of combat. SUPER strong. Excited to take them again soon, even if the Thunderer unit went up 75 points.
Thanks a lot, the most important thing is to have fun and respect your opponent. It is just a game after all, even though we obviously are super into it!
They are super cool! I do not have a winning record with them yet though lol. They are not an alpha army, even if they seem that way, they take some finesse, which I do not innately have haha
Great battle, gotta say did not get your KO army at all 2 ships only and 6 riggers? So much melee and ground heavy for the Sky faction. Aetherwings?! You have the best flyers in the game and allies with one of the best melee factions in the game with the Fyre bois. You go KO ground melee and allies in the air. MFW
You declared everything into reavers. Why would you be able to change that? Even though it’s a rule for IDK?? Those other shots should have been null unless that’s a FAQ
You are correct, the second volley of shooting was from a seperate unit, so was able to pick a different target. Hard to tell since KO typically has their entire army garrisoned inside thier boats LOL. Thanks for the comment!!
They are good against armies with armor saves of 4+ or worse, however, they struggle against 3+ units, units that are minus to be hit or reduce damage. They also struggle against death armies because of their model recursion and ability to screen out objectives and protect high priority targets. The problem with KO play style is they either table their opponent in 3 turns, or lose. This can be a NPE for newer players and armies that dont have an answer for them. Overall, I would give them a solind B tier placement. Likely a 3-2 tournament army for a beginner, but could go all the way for an experienced player (which I am not) LOL. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and hope to see you in the comments and on our discord.
Right now, the only way to make Idoneth really competitive is to play them counterintuitively to how they feel like they should be played, spam loads of Namarti (40+) and use Turtles mostly for buffs which just kind of sucks - I got into them to paint fun sea monsters. Hopefully we'll get a little rejig, I don't think it'd take too much!! From a game design perspective I think Glass Cannon armies are just really hard to make balance because push a little too far and any skilled player can make them absurdly OP, see aeldar in 40k, but then nerf slightly too much and they lose everything that makes them fun
i’ve been having some success with a pack of 6 eels, king and turtle and then just msu bits. movement is the key with idoneth, i just assume i wont kill anything, or try and put 3 hammers into one of theirs if positioning allows it. We should also be better with the spread out objectives in the new GHB, since our biggest weakness are tough castles that set up on one or two objectives and sit all game.
Andrew's humor is massively under-appreciated in the comments, was laughing during the whole batrep
I moved my model here, hopefully it won't die to shooting....

Loved this battle, 2 flavourful and awesomely painted armies, and a well played game, really enjoyed
Thanks alot! We put though into all of our match ups in the hopes they are fun to watch. This one came down to the wire and was very fun to play.
Battle of the Hats!! Great game guys.
Loving the KO, they are a bit more tricky to play than I thought, but definitely can drop the damage. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the guest and the 2 Battle Reports you madlads. Wishing you all the sucess. 11:14 cunning manuveur Without a galatian Champion? 😁
He had the tidecaster on a seperate objective to score cunning. Last minute decision so he could keep her alive. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for watching!
@@BattleshockWargaminggotcha. You Guys are super Humble and Take your time with the comments. ❤️

Those two sixes from the Endrinriggers Drill Launcher are 3 Mortals each :) Great Batrep! KO vs IDK I played this matchup so often
Oops! I need to remember the rules for all of their little guns lol. Thanks for watching, having a blast with KO!
Gotta go IDK here! Can't wait to see what happens though
All hail the sea creatures!
Beautiful armies. thanks for the vid!
Thank you for the comment we are going to keep bringing you all the age of sigmar content that we can
These armies both looked amazing, and the two of you had some great sportsmanship
Thanks a lot, the most important thing is to have fun and respect your opponent. It is just a game after all, even though we obviously are super into it!
IDK!!! IDK!!! IDK!!! Time to press play! :D
That was close :) BTW, why no Strike at the opening during hero at the top of 3rd round? :)
unfortunately Strike at the opening is only for Galletian champions :/
But thanks for the cheerleading!
We love ANDREW!! He will be back for redemption soon I'm sure lol
Just bought my overlord vanguard and battletome today ! Can’t wait to play with these guys!
They are super cool! I do not have a winning record with them yet though lol. They are not an alpha army, even if they seem that way, they take some finesse, which I do not innately have haha

It's because I am a KO noob lol. I was also trying to power match Idoneth so the game was more interesting to watch :)
@BattleshockWargaming That makes sense, gotta have more action for the camera!

KO is so over powered honestly believe they could fix their OP ness with makeing thunders stats -1 to hit

Bomb racks cant be used on units that can fly! But awesome battle report
Oh shoot, my bad. The eels would have dropped to the shooting most likely, but still need to get my rules right!!. Thanks for watching.
@@BattleshockWargaming it does mean that alot of those thralls would not have died though
Arent those dwarf dice votann dice?
perhaps they are good sir perhaps they are
Hope their points get adjusted forthelft next season
Hopefully the points changes will bring Idoneth up on power, they need just a little love to re enter the fold.

Sky Dwarves for the win! (My prediction)
Loving the KO! The Ironclad/Thunderer combo feels so good lol.
KO FTW!
They definitely showed up to FTW in this match up! Hope you enjoyed it.
