Grand Alliance Death
Ossiarch Bonereapers |
|
|
Armies of well-armored skeleton constructs representing Nagash's ideal for all the realms. They collect bones to make more of them and as tribute for Nagash. Long has Nagash had a bone to pick with Sigmar, and now the time for Bone Daddy's vengeance has come.
Why play Ossiarch Bonereapers?
Pros
- They're SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS!
- These guys have default, army-wide immunity to Battleshock, baby!
- They're durable, even for undead. On top of tough, well-armored troops they don't rely on heroes for 6+ Deathless saves. Especially if you use the Petrifex Elite Legion.
- Re-rolls out the ass, especially for the Necropolis Stalkers.
- A few pleasant reminders of Nehekhara for you Tomb Kings fans, such as a war machine that hurls flaming skulls.
- The models have multiple options for conversions or poses.
- They collect protection payments of bone like a skeletal version of the Mafia.
- Part of the reason for their existence is to troll Sigmarines.
- Nagash, bro-tier mini-Nagash and the Morghasts are officially part of the army roster.
- Hope you like bone puns...
Cons
- Most of your army is slow, with a few exceptions.
- When you bring 5 guys, almost everybody else brings 10. So if your opponent is on a objective you need to
smash him in the knee capscan't smash knee caps, you need them for the tithe... just cut their legs out from under them. - Some of the models look a bit cheesy or weird.
- Katakros' model looks especially cheesy to some (seriously, a bone bulge?)
- Hope you like bone puns...
