Relentless. Disciplined. Deathless. These are the Ossiarch Bonereapers – the culmination of centuries of planning by Nagash and the harbingers of his dark reign. Where the Legions of Nagash are the foot soldiers of Death and the Nighthaunt are the shock troops, the Ossiarch Bonereapers are the vanguard of a new order.
Warhammer Community
These are not risen warriors or malignant spirits – they are bespoke war-constructs forged from harvested bone and gifted the soul animus of great warriors and heroes. Alone, they have hundreds of lifetimes of experience and brutal physical prowess. Unified, they are nigh unstoppable, directed into battle by Katakros, Mortarch of the Necropolis – perhaps the greatest military strategist (living, or dead) the Mortal Realms have ever known.
Orpheon Katakros
The Mortarch of the Necropolis. Once a general of the Mortal Realms he is now a terrifying new paragon of undeath. A master of strategy, tactics and diplomacy.
Was trapped. Lady Olynder freed him in Forbidden Power and he now has a new existence in a body of ensorcelled bone.
Attendants on the base – banner, scroll, samurai warrior. You have to kill through his attendants and only fight the Mortarch once more wounds are taken. His strongest attacks are once he has suffered the most wounds (ala Skarbrand).
Mounted Hero?
A mounted hero – corrupted Vandus? Sighted in the back of the Warhammer Community army shot.
High Priest?
A high priest type model on a walking bone construct.
Mortisian Priesthood
Twisted, magical bio-engineers who instills souls in the construct forces.
Unknown other Priesthood hero?
Mortek Guard
Elite and heavily armoured. Not automata, but with personalities. Forthright and dutiful.
Kavalos Deathriders
Heavy cavalry. Full of towering arrogance.
Immortis Guard
The elite guard of the Ossiarch Bonereapers.
Necropolis Stalkers
Giant construct warriors with four heads, four spirits. Can shift personalities mid-battle to change the way they fight.
Gothizzar Harvester
A monstrous combination of metal and slain foes. It collects the enemy’s bones and turns them into new units during the battle.
Mortek Crawler
A truly massive catapult with legs! A “semi-sentient siege engine”.
Bone-Tithe Nexus
The Ossiarch Bonereapers have a scenery piece coming for the army, called the Bone-Tithe Nexus. More details to follow.
