Not... The best lightening but I finally got ten of these boys done and just had to post them! I'll try to get some better shots. I haven't had a lot of time to paint, which makes me rather sad. But really proud of what I've gotten done so far turned out! I'm also trying something out with Das, trying to spread it out and letting it dry to make "slate" rocks. Anyone have any experience with this?

My local players are Skaven/Legions of Nagash, Fyreslayers, Slyvaneth, Stormcast, Mawtribes, FEC, and CoS. So, it might be pretty good to unbind a lot of spells haha.

Hmmm I already have Arkhan so i've been trying to make him work (but haven't had a chance to play much 2k games haha) but i've been heavily thinking of picking up Katakros soon. I'm not even so sure if the list i'm running at 2k is all that hot with Arkhan

Does it seem like Katakros is what people are taking if they want a big hero?

If it helps you immersion, the Harvester has a ton of skeletons on his back. Maybe he is just hot swapping the damaged parts with the ones on his back? lol

Dang, I was thinking of picking some STD stuff up because while I love the undead I also really like chaos stuff... and my favored chaos god is either Tzeentch or Nurgle. I'm worried people will start thinking i'm "That guy". I just really like the models

It seems to me that the Stalkers are really more like our version of say, Kurnoth Hunters. Instead of being able to deal a ton of mortal wounds and damage, they just have higher rend.

The crawlers can be pretty dangerous. While they don't have rend, they do deal 5 damage on wounds which could be pretty bad if your support heroes take a hit. Their special ammo might also be some cause for concern. The harvester is killy, and can bring back guard. So taking it down quickly would probably be best, yeah. Do you know what kind of heroes the OBR player is running? Something like Katakros or Arkhan can bring a lot of pain.

I see it somewhat often in other army forums I occasionally skim, players having an issue with certain army so they ask the players of that army "Hey, what are your weaknesses?". I don't really see anything wrong with it.

Sorry! The name "Scions of cripple peak" gave me a mental image of the OBR taking tithes that rendered the local populace physically crippled 😅

"Yeah, living under the Ossiarch's rule isn't so bad. They just occasionally come by every few years and take a knee bone from every citizen. But hey, at least we get to keep our money!"

If i may ask, what kind of base did you go with?

I actually decided to go with a darker brown, leather like. And I turned out pretty good I think! I'll post pictures soon.

I take it you took spears over swords on your deathriders?

I actually haven't had a chance to deploy them yet (I just really like the models) but from what I've read on here they tend to do pretty well!

They do seem pretty strong! I picked up five, thinking about getting more if I like them after using them soon. What i'm thinking of running is Arkhan Liege Kavalos Soulmason 20 mortek guard 20 mortek guard 5 deathriders Harvester Harvester Crawler Haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but I imagine it'll be pretty alright.

How're you liking the kavalos in that list?

I'm away from my book, but doesn't it say that it explodes on 5+ instead of 6? So it'd be a unmodified 5+ OR 6?

So i've been slowly churning away, and almost have 10 mortek guard complete. Though i'm running into an issue... i'm not sure what to do with the tabards and straps on the weapons. In the above picture, I went with blue. But the more I look at it the more I think (maybe that's too much blue). Could be because it's the same shade as the armor? I thought about trying a different grey tone, but it blended too much with the bone... Maybe trying a red since it contrasts with blue? But i'm not sure if having bits of red would detract too much from the "Cool" tone of the bones.

That is so incredibly obvious now, I need more coffee

Thought so, thank you

Totally forgot about that! Thanks! Remind me, Arkhan also take up a behemoth slot? I assume so since he has the keyword, but since he's a leader too i wasn't too sure if it mattered or not

I like these ideas! Though i'm not sure what you mean by "ES", i'm away from my book at the moment. And I forgot to mention, I do have the terrain piece to help out a tiny bit So something like Petrifex Arkhan Liege Kavalos Boneshaper 20xmortek guard 10xmortek guard 5xDeathriders Mortek Crawler Bone-tithe shrieker Bone-tithe Nexus

So my buddy is playing mawtribes and going a pretty heavy cavalry list, we're playing a 1500 points game in the next few days and i was thinking of something like this Petrifex Elite Arkhan the black: Mighty Archaeossian / Godbone armor Liege Kavalos 20 Mortek Guard 20 Mortek Guard 3 Stalkers 1 Mortek Crawler Soulstealer Carrion I would have preferred to run two harvesters, but can only take two behemoths at 1500. I believe he's taking 3 stonehorns (he said his general allows him to take some of them as battleline?), 2x4 mournfangs, and 2 butchers. So i'm taking the crawler to hopefully snipe the butchers. Used the leftover points to take the stalkers, not sure how well they'll do. Think this list will stand up well to all those charges in my future?

That's correct. Picking petrifex locks you into a trait and artifact.
