Amazing video, thanks for a good overview of the new faction pack. Arkan and Katakros are my go to heroes for my bone-reapers army. I had Arkan kill Alarielle in go with Curse of years once. We got to 25 wounds before I stopped rolling and my opponent took her off. Incredibly swingy but soo fun. I really hope some of the characters come down in points just a little I feel like the entire army has become incredibly expensive compared to others. I would agree that the formations are oddly specific and the +1 to cast seems just better overall. I'm looking forward to trying them out in the coming weeks and seeing how they do.
In the current 4th edition, you wouldn't want to use katkros's warscroll command on mortek guard, unless you are planning on redeploying/ counter charging them in the opponent's turn. They'll ignore all modifiers to save rolls if they don't move in the opponent's turn because of shield wall. Is it worth giving up being ethereal for a +1 to save, when you could use the command on a gothizzar harvester instead?
I think the problem with them is that GW always struggles to point things that can return Models, because it can either make it's points back really quickly if you roll well or end up doing nothing and just being a complete waste!
@@TheSixMachine RAW, the Gothizzars also run into an issue where against big units, they don't even get the bone tithe points-- If you take away daemonettes from the back-- Outside of the Harvester's combat range. I think it should just collect from any unit it's in combat with.
IDK, nearly everything feels 10% to expensive, with crawlers being prime example. Stalkers and Immortis also should be at least 5 health and OC 2 for this cost. (i am not talking abut the dmg, with rend one on immortis being a sad joke). Harbingers while having a good warscroll, are also too expensive and do not know if I would ever run them. Feel like Kata is an auto include with at least one unit of 20 morek and a harvester as core and some deathriders sprinkle on it, but it is soooo dull. Time to dust of my NH i guess :D
@raydijk7709 unless there's a change in wording in the main rulebook for 4th it does indeed continue, it just states that on 2+ on the extra dice you repeat the above bullet points, so on the repeat if you get any 2's again it would loop back around again, it's only when the enemy is dead or you roll 1's that the effect ceases. Unlikely to happen often, but still a fun little spell!
Massively disappointed in the changes, there's barely any healing in the army (doesn't make much sense, many armies have much better unit/model return as well as other tools over us), points are super high, and worse of all the mechanic is pretty boring in the sense that it doesn't change gameplay much, it's just a restriction. I hope people getting into the army really like Nagash or running lists with 20-30 Kavalos.
wait what ? i thort that frindley Ossiarch Bonereapers units ! ment that he cant use the ability on him self ! that you had to pick difrent units end this one ! because that will change alot in my game play in aos if this is tru !
