Aelfric Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Wouldn't it be easier to get Necromancers to raise the dead and have them walk themselves to the Ossiarchs for assimilation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would require magical energy. Small scale it would be fine, large scale like Nagash wants for the Reapers and it might prove problematic to sustain. Also don't forget such magics would require whole skeletons to work properly; whilst the tithe can be any old bit of bone even lost limbs. In addition it might have something do with how Nagash is blending bones and souls; necromantic energies might bind specific bones closer to their former souls more so than Nagash desires. That village idiot's body can be rendered down and made into a new warrior with warriors's souls within it. You don't really want echos and hints of the old village idiot's soul sticking around.

That makes sense. I suppose also that if you are creating a military machine, then they need to practice and hone their skills occasionally. This way, they also become indoctrinated into the regime - probably essential to help fuse all those disparate souls together so they can function efficiently.

zilberfrid Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I think the humour in Nagash is a Baron Samedi reference, but can't be sure. It's a loa of the dead, often depicted as quite humorously, if I recall correctly. The thing about Baron Samedi ensuring corpses rot after burial so they can't become zombies is lost a bit though.

Panzer Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 There's nothing Baron Samedi about anything Death in AoS imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartazjb0y Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hmmm seems like maybe no Bonereapers preorder next week? They just previewed Adeptus/Aeronautica stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 They have previewed whole army releases on their own post at times on the GW community site before now. I mean I can't imagine that Reapers have slipped the October slot without GW saying something -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 They sometimes do seperate articles for different systems, and this is half an hour early. I think there’s probably another article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDM Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought bonereapers were preorder next week? I think this is it unfortunately for this week. Very underwhelming though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Explorator Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The article itself is headed with "Forge World". So there's still hope they keep the Bonereapers pre-order date and there's another announcement for GW main pre-orders. If not, this is propably the thinnest release week we've had all year.

madmac Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The Feast of Bones box is mostly wasted on me, but I was ready for that. I'll use one of the leadbelchers to get me up to 9 and convert one of the Gluttons to an Irongut for the same purpose. That much I'm fine with, no plastic Butcher or Firebelly is making me very sad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 is it a new plastic sculpt or just one I don´t know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 It will be pretty unfortunate if the new characters are only in that box (though likely I suppose considering the last few). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 THE OL' SWITCHEROO (aaaaahh there's a lot here.) Two battletomes in one week! Mawtribes in 2019! That's the current butcher and firebelly anyway. Shame for the former. Basic ogres are called Gluttons now, fine, ok Coffin dude is a special character, ok Gnoblars qua gnoblars are staying! Both sets of dice are lovely The mawpot looks fantastic This though, "explaining just what happened to the Everwinter" is a little concerning... The BCR's background is great, I'd hate to see it go 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the resin Butcher without a pot, largely unused up to now. With the mawpot terrain peace hopefully this slightly less horrible sculpt will be usable again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
