They generally had way more RDP than other armies got CP, and their command abilities could be stacked on top of each other, but they all went away at the end of the turn (this was a bigger deal in 2nd ed when CP didn’t go away at the end of the turn, unlike now), so you were encouraged to spend them like crazy. Ossiarch Bonereapers did not get command points, but Relentless Discipline (RDP) which could be spent only on their own unique command abilities. For those of you unfamiliar with Ossiarch Bonereapers, it was their “big thing” that made them very different from other armies. The biggest mystery of how this book was going to hash out was how Relentless Discipline would be changed. This not only speeds up gameplay to not need to stop to differentiate weapon profiles, but makes several combat units like Stalkers even better. Nadirite Weaponsīig change, rather than only affecting weapons with “Nadirite” in their name (A seemingly arbitrary decision from unit to unit) all non-mount melee attacks explode 6s to hit into 2 6s. This streamlines the ability so it works how it basically did anyway. In practical terms, same as before since it applied to all units within 12″ of a Hero or with the Hekatos keyword (Which was mostly everything). Not only does it making running Mortek in larger blobs more practical, it spares you from using a command point on Inspiring Presence or having it blocked by abilities.
Like the rest of Death, everything in your army is Bravery 10, but this is even better. Ignore Battleshock tests, same as before. The Rules Battle Traits Ranks Unbroken by Dissent Endless Spells – The previously pretty garbage endless spells are all pretty awesome now, letting you put fear into the enemy.Now the chains have been removed and these blender boys are even more terrifying than before. Immortis Guard and Stalkers – Previously Stalkers were like the best option out of a bad book.Nadirite Weapons – Massively simplified, this ability is army wide now and that makes your melee stuff even better.New Relentless Discipline – The #1 thing on everyone’s mind, Relentless Discipline is gone! You get command points and generic command abilities like everyone else, and you get a lot of points.You’ve got some real power behind those bones, but can also play a horde to be a real pain for your opponent. Combined arms – Unlike other, sadder undead armies, the Ossiarch Bonereapers can build a force that really feels like an army, blending infantry, cavalry, war machines, monsters and magic to feel like a cohesive whole, rather than having to lean too heavily into one.Brand new battle tactics and grand strategies for matched play to let you to be the tactical supremacist on the field.Warscrolls for all of the Ossiarch Bonereapers, and a newly redesigned warscroll for Nagash!.Path to Glory rules to allow you to collect the Bone Tithe in your own campaigns.Army Rules for the Ossiarch Bonereapers, including the massively revamped Relentless Discipline.Lore surrounding the Ossiarch Bonereapers and what they’ve been up to during the Age of Beasts.If you want to use an army of sculpted, perfect warriors, obedient and endless, to build your forever empire (and we do mean forever), then Ossiarch Bonereapers may be the army for you. Sure, they may flay down their enemies to use them to build cities and new soldiers if you don’t pay your taxes, but they’re a lot more civilised than many other armies, from any faction. They are calm, controlled, and trying to expand their empire out in the name of Nagash, overcoming many of the same obstacles as the armies of Order. Narratively, Bonereapers are the most… human? of the Death armies. You’ve got a real “combined arms” approach here that’s sometimes lacking in Death, with units feeling like they work together, not just at the command of a single angry vampire. Ossiarch Bonereapers let you truly feel like a General issuing orders to troops across the battlefield, marching in formation to crush their foes under unrelenting might. A grinder army that can take a punch right on the jaw and then push back, regenerating faster than the enemy can put them down.
Ossiarch Bonereapers are the Elite Stormcast of Death. Sure, there are some big monster-heavy lists in FEC and Soulblight Gravelords, but those books are designed with running hordes in mind.
