Age of Sigmar Lore: Ossiarch Bonereapers 

13:25 Starting an army that takes hundreds of years to get ready isn't out of place for me either.

Yes! Finally! I'm so glad you hit on the whole Nagash made these guys first thing. It's so interesting to me how everyone was like omg Nagash calm down Sigmar didn't steal anything but Sigmar actually stole his entire idea for an army and the leader for the army too. Can't wait for more of the videos, Doug!

"Time doesn't matter" & "They weren't ready" = Ultimate Humilation by the hands of the Neverchosen.

The skeleton war has begun! My first army is getting their vids!

The first Death Faction I do like! I know some people don't quite dig their organic forms but that's something I can really appreciate about these models. It's something completely different and yet the same. The Necropolis Stalkers have to be my favourites though - such beasts!!

What I like about these guys is that to play them, you don’t need to keep your head or have a spine, because they have plenty more of both in the back.

I know.i am getting an army of these for Christmas. Other half had to tell me to stop me buying them. Love the sculpts.

*Age of chaos going on, meanwhile Nagash keeps spamming that End Turn button while all his allies die. Blames jungle*

They seem like a breath of fresh air. Love the design and story of them. Hope they play as well as they look.

I’ve been slowly learning the lore of warhammer over the past year, and every time I think I’ve got a grip on all the information I find something that I have never heard of. Warhammer is truly a gift.

I like how they remind me of tomb kings an army i miss. But also my favotite character is chair guy

Starting an army that takes hundreds of years to finish sounds like warhammer.

My dad decided today that he wants a cavalry ossarch army. After watching this vid all I can say is... Oh no

With this new force it seems like he wouldn't need the legions of nagash anymore.

The introduction was fantastic, I really liked it, tied in perfectly! I'm excited for the rest of the lore!

Good video, I'm salivating over the rest of the series.

Have you ever considered a career as a movie director, Doug?

Sooooo awesome. I love this faction! Thanks for making these videos!

Ive been looking forward to this for long while

That intro alone convinced me - I'm collecting Bonereapers now lol

Not to sound like a butt, but, finally man! I've been looking forward to this for a while now!!

Excellent intro. Found this very helpful and enjoyable. Love the tithe vibe - very very Nagash.

Katakros is either a muhfukin「STANDO」or Skeletor. There is no other option.

I just ordered the core rulebook, the generals handbook, and the battle tome for the ossiarch bonereapers. Can't wait to actually order some models once i figure out what I want. I was originally going to start with wh40k but then I saw these guys and was like yup I'm getting them.

Yes! Been waiting on this one 👍 thank you my friend

They remind me of the Tomb Kings

Nagash really does have a bone to pick ... great video Doug looking forward to the rest :)

Great into! I really like these and how they fit into the mortal realms.

Yes I’ve been waiting fore this😁

I never thought of this universe as one having a lack of bones

Wow... thanks for turning my army into a bunch of undead NERDS! :P

That opener got me good.

One of the elements of the army I’m appreciating is the durability. They aren’t spindly masses of skeletons like you said and even their battle line is quite durable. While slow they have a lot of tricks to move up the board all of a sudden

It would be really grim to see a story about how a tribe, city, civilization, copes with the tithe. I can picture a desperate people slaughtering one another trying to collect bones and survive -- only to fail and be slaughtered despite their desperation

This is my favorite faction. Love them. Plus love the endless spells they have

Thank you so much for your work! I'm a few months into warhammer and your videos have been my favorite way to learn about the lore. I really appreciate your enthusiasm. When I someday get around to making a death army it will probably be bonereapers.

Thanks for these videos 2+Tough, I have watched a lot of your start collecting set videos and Lore vids. Have to say GW needs to hire you because I just keep buying everything you are selling me XD

I love my -ground Tyranids- new Tomb Kings

Bony Necrons

Nice intro including some real history of WWI. I was initially expecting the "new weapon" to be poison gas, and couldn't wait to see how you were going to tie that into the bonereapers. Then came the ah-ha moment. Great video. Very Halloweeny intro music.

They are cool but i'd rather have the tomb kings back and settra finally kicking nagash's ass.

A very extremely awesome video as always Doug, and these undead guys look so glorious looking. And it looks like Sigmar and Nagash still don't like each other.

Sigmarines, nagash marines, dwarf marines... I mean 40k has it’s work cut out for it

What if Felix is actually in one of these dudes and Gotrek has been shouting down stormcasts throats for nothing?

These guys are so cool and I love the models. Might have to not finish my Deepkin as my first army and do these guys instead hehe.

I hope we get lore on how the forces of order are combating these monstrosities.

Great Video! Would like to ask if the battletome discusses anything on how the Bonereapers interact with the Nighthaunt, since in my mind they are in direct competition with each other for SOULS... I assume the Nighthaunt are not interested in the BONES though..... :). Also in that regard, how does a Soul end up as a Bonereaper? or as a Nighthaunt?

Doug if you really love history and World War 1 I hope you know about Dan Carlin and his podcast.

Guess these bone reapers are a countermeasure against the stormcast eternals

That awkward moment when death is taxes.

Knowing nothing about them at all, I’d assume they were AOS Necrons crossed with tyranids, where they kill you and all life with skeletons, drag the corpses back with them and process the souls and materials into new bonereapers.

The book you are refering to is it the Battledome or the novel Bonereapers by David Guymer? Have read the last one. I am kinda new to this (have read some novels and short stories) and i love the amount of lore you just can creates stories from. :D Btw i love your video. You have a nice reading voice and do not speak to fast fast or to slow. :D Btw btw. I am considering starting to paint minitures and due to the Ossiarch Bonereapers have such a cool lore i am considering to start with them. Arw they easy to paint for a beginner or are other races or sub species easier to start out with?

Cue the angry dooting!

Nagash's long game pales compared to Cosmos Pepe though. Just like everything else about Nagash, be it power or ability to return

I'm absolutely loving painting these... The fact that they are predominantly bone makes them very fast to paint up to a very reasonable standard. I loved the morghast/mortarch aesthetic as well, so I really like the models (although I could see people who like their undead more "traditional Victorian era fantasy" not being keen on these).

I've been reading the book and one thing I love is how they have fighting Chaos and the tactics they use against them to that oh hey Nurgle has a disease for even for the dead😅

Hmmmmm, thanks for this. I was always wondering if Age of Sigmar was ever worth getting into or not ever since Fantasy well, exploded. If these guys are the replacement for Tomb Kings, no thank you! Thank you for helping me make my decision!

They’re like Necrons/Tomb Kings/Tyranids imo.

I’m sure the Gutbusters thought their bones were less than satisfying post-Feast of Bones!

The name of Ossiarch Bonereapers faction comes from the name of Ossia empire. Which is nothing more than a slightly modified «Russia». _Skeletor will return next week with more disturbing facts_

I like the idea for the faction, but it's another army with a mere handful of models and options. It feels a bit bland beside the Nighthaunt or Stormcast.

The lore is great- actually some of the best in AOS. But the miniatures just fail to menace. I mean when you realise the harvester has a crotch goblin it just loses the ability to be scary.

So they are basically the necrons of AoS

So does Undead super soldiers Jazz great

Hell yeah man, I love these guys, shame gw launched a whole new range and haven't out out any how to paints on em' yet, hopefully soon

MORE BONEREAPERS!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁

I mean it’s cool, but a carnosaur is just way more majestic

WW1 does he mean tanks, planes, chemical weapons? Nope, I got jebaited. Nerds and computing equipment ftw

So they’re Militant IRS? I like it.

Bone Mafia

Millitary accountants deadset on getting their tithe, when Nagash has a bone to pick with you he spares no expense. xD

Bony bois

BIG MATHS

One question can you pay them off with milk

Nagash = Big brain, bigger ego

Kinda like chimeric Deathcast Eternals?

Do any of the other mortarchs have these in their command ?

Tim Burton music xD

So they’re bone Necron.

"eternity long plan to end all life in the realms under Nagash rule" which will later be foiled by skaven, again... lol kinda meh-ish lore imo, but at least the bone daddies models are cool :D

BONE NECRONS

i like bones

Anyway, Chaos will win in the end because there is 4 gods while Death has only one 🙂

GW really wants every faction to have some form of a storm cast eternal. Whats next ? the skaven equivalent of storm cast, called roid rats ? "I pitty the man thing that messes with mee!! Now give me some cheese"

These things are abhorrent abominations.

if a race grows so slow thay dont seem to be a treat for shay humans who die in 50 years

33 seconds is much too long for an intro. 😅 My only constructive criticism, otherwise, awesome work!

I love this army! It’s lore and their models! Can’t wait for the rest of these videos as I will be listening to them over and over as I build and paint my legion up!!
