Barak-Zon

Building phase

Alrighty got every release of the overlords so far.  The kits are amazing and really easy to put together.  Have not touched the ships just yet, but those are going to be a much bigger project.

I chose Barak-Zon at first because the color scheme was really cool.  After reading the rules for their specific code they are probably not on par for strength with Barak-Ziflin.  I still see some fun options that will make my KO force fun to play and mildly competitive though.  Which is what I want to see anyway.

Right now the goal is to just get everything together and primered.  10 company are built and primered along with another 10 that are fully assembled.  The goal for this coming week is to get the remaining companies finished then start on thunderers.

What guns?

I've still not decided on what I want to give to my thunderers, but aethercannons are a fairly sure bet because they do so much damage.  Perhaps a group of 10 with one set of weapons and a group of 10 with a different set.

The list so far is looking like this at 2k matched play:

Endrinmaster x1

Khemist x2

Arkanaut Company x3

Frigate x2

Ironclad x1

Thunderers x5

Endrinriggers x3

**ITEMS TO BE DECIDED**

List thoughts

I'm really fancying the idea of an endrinmaster that can take an aethercharged rune and go pummel things.  The list as it stands feels a bit flimsy and I'm looking to take out and replace other better options.

The idea here would be load up ironclad with endrinmaster, khemist and thunderers then 2 frigates with one company a piece.  This leaves one company on the ground to protect my side of the table. Frigates and ironclad will rotate and support as needed and the endrinriggers are there to repair focused ships.  In my head it feels like this is a really weak list that will fail easily if the endrinmaster gets killed.  Currently thinking about how I can add more foot soldiers, but with 3 ships that's going to be difficult.  A brain teaser to be sure and I look to post an update on this soon!

Stormcast and Dwarves!

Alright so back from adepticon and I know for sure stormcast and dwarves are going for next years event.  Not really sure on which will be going to the champs, but I'm looking to take a tough list and finish a little bit higher than I did this year (58 out of 104 not bad!).

With the new Overlords I'm thinking about getting 2 of everything and altering accordingly.  For Stormcast the Celestial Vindicators will be making a scene with the new vanguard and a mix of some older models.

Kind of a smaller picture but here he is in all his unlayered glory.  Really dig the yellow gw advice in the ironjawz guide.  I'm going to be making a story of all my stormcast, dwarves, and ironjawz.
