Ship-shape! Spring Cleaning Kharadron Overlords
Recommendations: 87
About the Project
In this project, I'll be picking, up dusting off, and getting on with a Kharadron Overlords force I started way back in 2017. Expect lots of bright colours, some fun conversions and some attempts at narrative theming.

Arkanaut Admiral
“Arkanaut Admirals are the cream of the Kharadron officer class, intrepid leaders who direct whole airfleets from their favoured flagship. To reach the rank of Admiral requires proven excellence and tremendous profit – each one is a battle-hardened veteran of a thousand aerial engagements, whose booming commands inspire their crew to mighty deeds in the search for gain and glory.”
This is one of the first miniatures I painted. I gave him a headswap and added a small Aether balloon on his backpack.
This was painted fully with GW paints, to arrive at a bright colour scheme.
To go with the bright scheme, I wanted at the time to add basing that really made them look they could pop straight out of an Amiga platform game.
Starting out
Back in 2017, I instantly fell in love with the Kharadron Overlords. Dwarves, Airships and floating sky-cities – what’s not to love?
I wanted to go bright with the army so settled quickly on the colours of Barak-Thryng. The bright orange-red and cream had a really pop-py scheme and I thought it’d be good to apply to individual figures as well as larger vehicles.
