Explore the Sinister Power of the Ossiarch Bonereapers
The Ossiarch Bonereapers command an army steeped in dread and death, each unit enhanced by a supply of necrocaches. These ancient devices, once wielded by the dark master Nagash, have become relics lying dormant in the necropolises of Shyish. When activated, they unleash a torrent of grave sand that desiccates living flesh upon contact, leaving behind only skeletons—perfect for the bone-tithe, depending on one’s perspective. The Mortis Reapers, sharing directives through a collective mind, exhibit an eerie synchronicity that unsettles even the bravest of Ossiarchs and inspires terror in the living.
Unveiling the Battletome: Ossiarch Bonereapers
Every new unit and hero in the Ossiarch Bonereapers army comes with its own unique rules, detailed in the forthcoming Battletome: Ossiarch Bonereapers. This comprehensive guide may not distill the wisdom of legendary generals, but it promises to equip players with a plethora of new tactical and strategic options. The Battletome also offers a rich narrative that expands the lore of the Ossiarch Empire and its eternal legions, illustrated with stunning artwork and detailed miniature photography.
Enhanced Battle Traits for Strategic Advantage
Among the updates in the Battletome, players will find a revamped battle trait: Relentless Discipline. This new mechanic allows heroes on the battlefield to generate a points pool, which can be spent to activate various powerful abilities. Notably, Katakros generates 10 points, while a Liege-Mortek generates 5. Furthermore, certain abilities grow stronger with additional points invested. More details are set to be unveiled soon, so stay tuned to Warhammer Community for the latest updates.
New Armies of Renown and Customization Options
For those seeking even more depth, the Battletome introduces rules for two Armies of Renown, including the cavalry-driven Lance of Ossia. Additionally, players can explore two Regiments of Renown, a new Spearhead, and expanded Path to Glory rules, which include the Anvil of Apotheosis where players can craft their own Mortisan overseers. A gamer’s edition, along with separate warscroll cards and customized dice, will also be available for enhanced gameplay.
Introducing the Battleforce: Null Myriad Phalanx
Accompanying the new Battletome and miniatures is the Battleforce: Null Myriad Phalanx, a boxed set that equips players with a potent force under the command of Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament. This set includes a Mortisan Soulmason, four Morghast Archai (which can also be assembled as Morghast Harbingers), and a unit of 20 Mortek Guard. This offer provides an ideal starting point for anyone looking to construct their own bone-reaping army.
Strategic Spearhead: Kavalos Vanguard
The Kavalos Vanguard is a newly unveiled spearhead formation that brings a nimble Teratic Cohort into play, designed to pin down foes ahead of a devastating cavalry charge. Featuring a Liege-Kavalaos along with two units of five Kavalos Deathriders, this formation excels as the primary damage dealers on the battlefield while the Teratic Cohort works to secure objectives and shepherd enemy forces into submissive positions.
Regiment of Renown: Heralds of the Bone-tithe
One of the two Regiments of Renown available at launch is the Heralds of the Bone-tithe. This compact force is led by Vokmortian, Master of the Bone-tithe, who commands respect from the vassals of Nagash. The unit includes three elite Immortis Guard and 10 Mortek Guard, ensuring that Nagash’s emissary can perform his role without hindrance, enforcing the importance of fulfilling their dark obligations.
With the arrival of the Ossiarch Bonereapers, players can look forward to an array of immersive gameplay experiences, enriched lore, and detailed tactical options. This new chapter in the Warhammer universe is set to offer compelling strategies and spine-chilling aesthetics that engage and captivate. Keep an eye out for all the latest reveals, and prepare to enter the realm of the Ossiarchs!
