Arkhan having access to our entire spell lore does seem pretty powerful I think. And with a unit of immortis you can at least delay your opponent trying to blow him to pieces
-
Yeah, the $60 for twenty guard I don't mind too much, but the $60 for five cav hurts a bit
-
I have been slightly concerned it could potentially be too much blue, yeah Edit: I tried a different way of doing the glow and it seems to pop a bit more now, so im a bit happier!

Marrowgar Legion (Ossiarch Bonereapers, better name pending)
Arcian replied to Arcian's topic in Painting and Modelling
Finished up a test scheme overall pretty happy with it. Might do regular metal playing instead of the blue? Not sure yet.
-
I'll join in on the scheme posts Test scheme for mine
-
It has a points cost, and i believe someone posted something from the FAQ that indicated that you could use those kinds of battalions in matched games
-
I think they were just talking about the cavalry. But for mortek guard i'm pretty unsure of how big of squads we should optimally go for. Seems most are taking either squads of 10 or 20.
-
I think you answered my question 😂 probably shouldn't go with big chunky units
-
So once I head into the world of 2k I'm thinking of doing 3x20 with swords. Or do you think a big block of 30-40 with spears would be better? I might take deathriders in either config, not sure yet. I guess I'm so in that camp of "don't want to build all swords and then spears end up being better if big blocks of 40 guard end up being the better choice" lol
-
Are you leaning towards a big block of guard? Most of the theory lists I'm seeing usually cap at 20 or run a few groups of 20. I was thinking maybe 3x20 in 2k games? But that might be too much of a point investment.
-
So i'm thinking of arming my mortek guards with swords. But when I eventually move to 2k points i'm thinking of doing 3X20 mortek guards. Or do you guys think two big blocks would be better? I assume it would be better if you took spears on the guards if you were planning of running a max unit of 40 of them.
-
Looks fantastic! I'm envious. I haven't had anytime to even assemble my boneboys, people keep bugging me everyday I sit down to do it
-
So far i think the idea is to not put the weapon on your hekatos since you'll want him in the middle of your guard blocks to better make use of his RD abilities
-
Well you sold it for me, i'll update my order with my local shop and grab one of those fancy crawlers! Then i'll look towards building up to a 2k list in a near future. Thanks for your insight, it's been super helpful!
-
How would you feel about maybe instead of the liege doing the harvester? Or do you think the crawler would in general just be better? edit: Also for 2k i was thinking of 3x20 mortek guard units as my "core"
-
You seem pretty knowledgeable if i can pick your brain for a moment? I was wondering if this would be a good starting point for a 1k list Petrifex Elite Liege Kavalos - 200 BoneShaper (Empower Nadirite Weapons) - 130 Soulreaper (Reinforce Battle-shields / Or maybe Drain Vitality) - 120 Mortek Guard 1x20 swords - 260 Mortek Guard 1x20 swords - 260 Endless Spell Bone-tithe Shrieker - 30 1000/1000
-
Against something like say, Fyreslayers, do you think that Drain Vitality would be a must to take against them?
-
I might be confused on this, but wouldn't the 2MW you generated on the 6s just replace the 2D that die could have possibly generated? Like if you rolled six dice and got a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 you'd still generated three hits and then roll for wounds, and 2MWs?
-
Wow! I really like that blue, how'd you do it?
-
With 20 points left, you could throw in a carrion for funsies?
-
So i'm thinking of starting off with a 1k list here, and I remember seeing something similiar to what I have a while ago. But was just looking for some feedback on it. Petrifex Elite Liege Kavalos - 200 BoneShaper (Empower Nadirite Weapons) - 130 Soulreaper (Reinforce Battle-shields / Or maybe Drain Vitality) - 120 Mortek Guard 1x20 swords - 260 Mortek Guard 1x20 swords - 260 Endless Spell Bone-tithe Shrieker - 30 1000/1000
-
Unfortunate (or fortunately?) that nobody plays tzeentch in my area I don't think. So I probably wont have a chance to just say "no" haha. Some fyreslayers and skaven though. So that might be a bit rough.
-
And it sounds like scurvy had some bad luck in his first game and went against the current top tier army that can chew up most armies in his second game. If i'm understanding his post's part about his games correctly.
-
Ah ok got it! That sounds pretty good . So does that in theory let you bypass the negative modifiers, or would they still apply?
-
So i'm a little confused on how Shieldwall works for the mortek guards. When I do the reroll, am I rerolling say the 3+ (if petrifex) minus and negative modifiers or am I rerolling the save with negative modifiers?
