[AoS 2 - Ossiarch Bonereapers Discussion]

I’ve been playing OBR for a month now trying the different sub factions and units to see what works/doesn’t work. Haven’t played with Katakros cause I don’t own him yet, but as a post-holiday gift I decided to treat myself by purchasing him as he’s a gorgeous model. 
 

When I finish painting him up I plan on fielding this list along side a bunch of mortek guard. I really want to make use of the mortek guard as I love the models, and I plan to do so with the buffs that Katakros and the other heroes provide, in addition to the various types of healing. Let me know what you guys think;  any suggestions/improvements are welcome:

Hey folks, I've been using a fairly basic Katakros+Aegis+Shield Corp list as it's what I've had painted, and I'm looking to work towards a few other things. In addition to trying out @Gwendar's 60 Mortek+6 Stalker list, I'm hoping to get something going for the Crematorians. How does something like this look?

Allegiance: Ossiarch Bonereapers
- Legion: Crematorians
Liege-Kavalos (200)
- Artefact: Helm of the Ordained
Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament (360)
Mortisan Soulmason (140)
- Artefact: Searing Blade
20 x Mortek Guard (260)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
20 x Mortek Guard (260)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
20 x Mortek Guard (260)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
Gothizzar Harvester (200)
Gothizzar Harvester (200)
Mortek Shield-corps (120)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 400

 

I threw the Crematorian artifact on the Soulmason to get the +1 to hit on the Liege, figured Arkhan was both a good aggressive caster and the most points-efficient fixed healing we get, and will be giving the harvesters the bludgeons. Please let me know your thoughts.

It looks like a great start to a crematorian’s list. My guess is that you want to make use of the MW from exploding mortek guard and use the harvesters/arkhan to regen models? 
 

if so, imo I think Arkhan is too much for healing/spell casting; two harvesters places between the three 20 man units evenly and a Boneshaper would be a better option. You can also add a Shrieker endless spell for the +1 to hit.  That would give you room to give your Kavalos the Searing Blade, allowing your Soulmason to take the Gothizzar Cartouche for +1 to wound, making your front line +1 to hit and wound. 
 

This would leave you with 200 points to spare, giving some flexibility on what to add.
