The Ossiarch Bonereapers are back, and this time, they're taking no prisoners! The Hour of Ruin has sounded, and the Mortisans are crafting an army of bone-chilling constructs to answer the call. But Nagash, the Supreme Lord of the Undead, has been outmaneuvered by the Skaventide, and he's not happy about it.
This new range of models is a sight to behold, and we're not just talking about the bone-chilling aesthetics. The Liege-Kavalos on War Chariot is a masterpiece of macabre engineering. Imagine these skeletal charioteers, once scoffers at the idea, now thundering into battle with unmatched agility. And that's not all—their war chariots serve as mobile command centers, allowing Liege-Kavaloi to direct devastating charges with pinpoint precision.
But here's where it gets controversial—the Kavalos War Chariot is a force to be reckoned with. These bone-steed constructs are a testament to the Mortisans' skill, capable of maneuvers that would spook any living mount. They were designed to keep up with the swift Lumineth Realm-lords, and the thought of Teclis' kin fleeing from their relentless advance is a satisfying one.
The Liege-Mortek, sub-commanders of the Ossiarchs, are a tactical force to be reckoned with. They oversee battlefield strategies, ensuring every soldier marches to the beat of their drum. With their avian familiars as messengers, these lieutenants are always in the know. And with three distinct heads and weapon options, they're a collector's dream. But wait, there's more! The Mortek Triaxes, a new ranged cohort, are a sight to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. With bone-grafted eyes and a third eye imbued with power, they can spot spiritual auras, making every shot count. Their flaming arrows, lit by the Balefire Braziers, are a terrifying sight, causing enemies to question their very existence.
The Mortis Reapers, stealthy assassins, are the cherry on top of this bone-chilling sundae. These cloaked killers excel at infiltrating enemy lines to take out key targets. Their necrocaches, once Nagash's playthings, leave only skeletons in their wake, ensuring a steady supply for the bone-tithe. And their synchronized strikes are a sight to behold, even unnerving their fellow Ossiarchs.
The Battletome: Ossiarch Bonereapers is a treasure trove of rules and lore. It offers a glimpse into the empire's history and provides players with a plethora of tactical choices. The updated battle trait, Relentless Discipline, is a game-changer, allowing heroes to generate points for powerful abilities. And with rules for Armies and Regiments of Renown, Spearheads, and Path to Glory, players can create diverse and powerful forces.
The Battleforce: Null Myriad Phalanx is a must-have for collectors and players alike. Led by Arkhan the Black, it's a bone-chilling battalion with Morghast Archai, Morghast Harbingers, and Mortek Guard. The Spearhead: Kavalos Vanguard showcases the Teratic Cohort's ability to pin enemies for a devastating cavalry charge. And the Regiment of Renown: Heralds of the Bone-tithe, led by Vokmortian, ensures Nagash's influence is felt on the battlefield.
So, there you have it—a bone-chilling preview without a single pun about bones (well, almost). Are you ready to join the Ossiarch Bonereapers and fulfill the bone-tithe? The choice is yours, but the call of the battlefield is strong. Will you answer it?
