AoS 2 - Ossiarch Bonereapers Discussion

[Sception]

It probably wouldn't be too difficult to convert, though you'll need some greenstuff to fill gaps, and you'd likely need to pin some wire from the legs through the hooves into the base, as othewise those are some pretty tiny joins to be supporting the model.

If you're greenstuffing anyway, you might try just shaving down the knuckles a bit and sculpting some hooves around the feet.

Hi! Curious to know if anyone tested this list or something similiar? Would love some feedback/comments! 

 

Allegiance: Ossiarch Bonereapers
- Legion: Petrifex Elite
Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament (360)
Liege-Kavalos (200)
Mortisan Soulmason (140)
30 x Mortek Guard (390)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
10 x Mortek Guard (130)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
5 x Kavalos Deathriders (180)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
6 x Necropolis Stalkers (400)
Gothizzar Harvester (200)

Total: 2000 
 

Basic tactic: 

10 guard stay back/screen. 30 MG + harvester move up as a solid block. DR runs up and grabs objectives or runs around and threaten enemy objectives. The 6 stalkers moves up and kills stuff.

My list was centred around 30 Mortek and Arkhan too, so I have sone experience with this concept. 

Your MVP will be Arkhan, teleporting via Protection of Nagash grabbing unguarded backline objectives while shutting the majority of the enemy magic down.

Some of my favorite models, lots of threat range, a big tanky Mortek blob, all of our favorite artifacts, and lots of RDP to play with.

Short question: Where can the Bonetithe Nexus actually be placed? Somewhere on the Board, 3" away from Terrain, or actually only within OBR Territory?

It's deployed first. So you kind of just smack it in the middle of the table.

I second the 6 stalkers, they can be brutal and super punishing if used correctly

Here's another take on the Bonereapers!

Look awesome. I'd love to see some closeups!

[Obeisance]

I'm thinking about trying a "fast" list. Usually I just run melee dudespam.

Has anyone tried out the Katacrossian Deathglaive? With or without getting run and charge from a non-Petrifex subfaction? Maybe with Deathriders as well.

How did it go?

Just something I'm thinking about while I stare at a machine at work

Yes. Technically before anything.., including terrain... is placed on the table.

Hi all, any thoughts how to deal with Tzeench changehost on flamers?  2 drops so he can dictate whos going first and mass shooting from flamers. I just got nothing on the board at the beginning of 3rd turn  

[Patriarch]

Hi, I have a question about rules.

Crawlers have a 6" minimal range.  Deepkin have an ability that I must target the closest unit.  If that unit is within the 6", like 5.99", since i can't target anything within 6", what happen?  My guess is that i must target the closest targetable unit.  Why would i try to target someone that i can't target?

 

Any faq about that?

Ability reads:

"Missile weapons can only be used to target an IDONETH DEEPKIN unit with this battle trait if it is the closest visible enemy unit."

The only conditions are closest and visible. So the crawlers are shafted imo

There is one flaw to your scenario, in the shooting rules if a unit has a minimum range, the unit must be wholly within the 6" of the crawler. so if it is then no you can't shoot that unit, but if like in your scenario it is just clipping the edge of 6" then you're fine to shoot at it still as the unit is not wholly within 6". 

Just wanted to point that out.

I'm also pretty curious about this, one of my local players is going to be picking up Tzeentch and has already mentioned running changehost

[Kayzee84]

Seconded on the interest in countering Tzeench. I've got a game scheduled against them Sunday. Very new to the game. What should i look out for?

[Sception]

While waiting on the experts, my highly uninformed advice would be to give up on magic unless you're running nagash.  Arkhan is too vulnerable to tzeentch shooting, our other casters lack the casting bonuses to push spells past tzeentch's arcane dominance.  Focus instead on relentless discipline buffs and other bonuses that the other side can't just unbind.  Basically liege & shaper > mason & reaper.

Beyond that, be sure to take enough skeletons to weather enemy shooting, & strongly consider one or more harvesters, as they can mitigate damag from shooting & spells regardless of rend, mortals, etc.

Again, though, that's just surface level thoughts without any actual experience to back it up.

[Talas]

What about running Null Myriad against Tzeentch?

[B.C.D.]

Anyone got any experience in running a block of 40 mortek guard? Would you still recommende using the blades for them or would you switch to spears for a block of 40? Thanks in advance :)
