Aethercast - Defeating Nurgle with Kharadron Overlords

In the second of our "Knowing the Enemy" series we discuss how you can be prepared to face up against Nurgle. Show regular Matt Barker and special guest Paul Conti from Radio Free Hammeral (both of whom play Nurgle and Kharadron Overlords) provide all the details an Admiral needs to know!

We cover an introduction into the basic Nurgle allegiance abilities and the components of competitive Blight Cyst and Thricefold Befoulement lists you're likely to see and look at some example lists to see how it all pieces together. Plus of course, all of this is through the lens of Kharadron Overlords, which components are worst for us and what tools do we have for picking apart their synergies and claiming the win?

Aethercast - Kharadron Overlords in Tempest Eye Cities of Sigmar Lists

In this bonus episode of our Navigating The Skyports we're joined by the legendary @AoSCoach to discuss making the most of Kharadron Overlords in Cities of Sigmar Tempest Eye lists.

We take a look at the allegiance abilities, Cities of Sigmar units that synergise with Kharadron Overlords, and how to bulk out the army with the other Duardin of the cities, maybe a Human or two, but hopefully no elves!

Can we make use of the surface dwellers well enough to create lists that rival the skyports? Tune in to find out!

Aethercast - Keeping Kharadron Overlords Casual & Avoiding NPE

In this episode of Aethercast we explore the concept of NPE (Negative Play Experience).

We also cover the new Kharadron overlords hero Dagnai Holdenstock in the upcoming Warhammer Quest game.
