Aethercast - Keeping Kharadron Overlords Casual & Avoiding NPE

In this episode of Aethercast we explore the concept of NPE (Negative Play Experience). Why do shooting armies such as Kharadron Overlords can cause this in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and what can you do to keep your mates enthusiastic about playing against your KO army without ruining the experience for yourself?

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