    Ossiarch Bonereapers Discussion - 3rd edition

    I feel really silly for asking this, but I’m having a hard time understanding how the Mortek Crawler actually shoots. It has three ranged weapons but the rule says to pick one profile each time it shoots. Does this mean it fires three times (once for each weapon) but you get to choose which profile for every attack? Or do you get one attack with each profile?

    You pick the profile you want to use that turn, and attack with that profile equal to the number of attacks in its characteristic as you would a normal weapon.

    New OBR definitely seem very tanky and healy again. What do you guys think are the chances that we will see another nerf for Petrifex or Katakros in the future? Are they as problematic in the current environement as they were during their 2nd edition launch?

    I think the change to shield wall among other things keeps Katakros from being over the top. In 2nd he was giving mortek blocks +1 to a rerollable save, now you have to pick between the 3+ or a 4+ that  ignore modifiers up or down

    I think a lot of it is that you’re investing nearly half your army in one model when the faction already struggles a bit with board control- Nagash is undeniably powerful but I think bringing him is putting a lot of eggs in one basket which might make people hesitate

    It’s because of how damage and attacks are allocated in the core rules, it isn’t a fault of the bonereaper Battletome.

    The process works this way because each attack sequence is rolled and resolved one at a time per the core rules, fast rolling is just to expedite the process but as far as order of operations goes each dice happens one at a time.

    If you’re talking about the spell, the word directly before 5+ is *ummodified*, so that is pretty clear.

    if you’re talking about the spears on the Cavalry it is a little less clear, but I would agree with the above reasoning for it being only unmodified 5s and 6s

    In smaller units, yeah, if you take one or nore greatblades the first should go on the champion.

    In larger units you might want to keep the champion in the middle of the unit inatead of the front, for the various wholly within 6" of a mortek hekatos abilities, in which case the greatblades should be on regular troopers who you can keep in front.

    I keep seeing this “keep the hekatos  in The center so his unit is within 6” of him” warning for using the command abilities, but it doesn’t matter where he is since the abilities read can trigger if you are either wholly within 6” of a Hekatos OR if the unit includes a hekatos.

    Is everyone building the greatblade on the guard? Any reason not to?

    If anything I think the consensus I’ve heard is the opposite. If you’re running sword guard it’s only a slight mathematical boost that myself and most people I’ve talked to aren’t going to bother with.
