Ossiarch Bonereapers – Bone-tithe Shrieker
Endless Spell

Bone-tithe Shrieker

The Bone-tithe Shrieker is a four-headed, all-seeing monstrosity conjured to hunt down those who would escape the Ossiarch tithe. When it locates its quarry it will give vent to an awful, mind-chilling scream that dulls the wits and shivers the bones of those living creatures nearby, making them easy prey for the Ossiarchs themselves.
PITCHED BATTLE PROFILE

Unit Size: 1      Points: 30
Battlefield Role: Endless Spell

DESCRIPTION

A Bone-tithe Shrieker is a single model.

PREDATORY: A Bone-tithe Shrieker is a predatory endless spell. It can move up to 8" and can fly.

MAGIC

Summon Bone-tithe Shrieker: The caster calls forth an apparition that will guide them to their next feast of bones.
Summon Bone-tithe Shrieker has a casting value of 5. Only OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS WIZARDS can attempt to cast this spell. If successfully cast, set up a Bone-tithe Shrieker model wholly within 12" of the caster and visible to them.

Soul-linked: A soul-linked spell is directly connected to the consciousness of its caster.
This spell is soul-linked to the caster. When predatory endless spells are moved at the start of the battle round, any that are soul-linked to a caster are moved first, followed by any endless spells that are not. Soul-linked spells are always moved by the player whose army includes the caster the spell is soul-linked to. The player that won the roll-off to determine who moves an endless spell first must move all their soul-linked spells first, followed by their opponent.

You must subtract 1 from casting rolls for a WIZARD that is soul-linked to an endless spell. A caster cannot be soul-linked to more than one endless spell at the same time. If the caster is slain, then any endless spell they are soul-linked to is dispelled.

ABILITIES

Portent of Doom: Learned men know that when a Bone-tithe Shrieker appears, an army of Ossiarch Bonereapers cannot be far behind.
Subtract 1 from the Bravery of units while they are within 12" of this model. OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units are not affected by this ability.

No Escape: Enemies cannot hide when a Bonetithe Shrieker is nearby.
Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units that target a unit that is within 12" of this model.

KEYWORDS
ENDLESS SPELL, BONE-TITHE SHRIEKER
Flying
If the warscroll for a model says that the model can fly, it can pass across models and terrain features as if they were not there when it makes any type of move. Any vertical distance up and/or down is ignored when measuring a flying model’s move. It cannot finish the move on top of another model.
Casting and Unbinding Spells
A WIZARD can attempt to cast spells in its own hero phase. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same turn (even with a different wizard).

In order to cast a spell, first say which spell the wizard is going to attempt to use (it must be one they know). To cast the spell, roll 2D6. If the total is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.

If a spell is cast, the opposing player can choose one of their WIZARDS that is within 30" of the caster to attempt to unbind the spell before its effects are applied. To unbind a spell, roll 2D6. If the roll beats the roll used to cast the spell, then the spell is not successfully cast. Only one attempt can be made to unbind a spell.

Unbinding and Dispelling
A WIZARD can attempt to unbind an endless spell when it is initially cast as normal. In addition, a WIZARD can attempt to dispel one endless spell at the start of each of their hero phases. If a wizard attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can attempt to cast one less spell than normal that phase.

In order to dispel an endless spell, first pick an endless spell model within 30" of the wizard and visible to them, and then roll 2D6. If the roll is greater than the casting value of the spell, the endless spell is dispelled. An endless spell model cannot be subjected to more than one dispel attempt per hero phase.

When an endless spell is dispelled its model is removed from play; the model can then be used again if the same endless spell is successfully cast later in the battle.

Modifiers
Sometimes modifiers apply to characteristics or abilities. For example, a rule might add 1 to a hit roll or the Move characteristic of a model. Modifiers are cumulative. Modifiers can never reduce a dice roll to less than 1.

If a modifier applies to a random value, work out the random value first and then apply the modifier(s) to it. For example, if an ability adds 1 to a Damage characteristic of D3, the result would be worked out by rolling the D3 and adding 1 to the roll.
Making Attacks
Attacks are resolved one at a time using the following attack sequence. In some cases, you can resolve all of the attacks made by the same type of weapon at the same time (see Multiple Attacks).

1.Hit Roll: Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, then it scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. A hit roll of 1 before modification always fails to hit the target, and a hit roll of 6 before modification always hits the target.
2.Wound Roll: Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, then it is successful and the opposing player must make a save roll. If not, then the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. A wound roll of 1 before modification always fails, and a wound roll of 6 before modification is always successful.
3.Save Roll: The opposing player rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. For example, if a weapon has a -1 Rend characteristic, then 1 is subtracted from the save roll. If the result equals or beats the Save characteristic of the models in the target unit, the save succeeds and the attack sequence ends without causing any damage. If not, the save fails and the attack is successful, and you must determine damage on the target unit. A save roll of 1 before modification always fails.
4.Determine Damage: Each successful attack inflicts damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of the weapon making the attack. Most weapons have a Damage characteristic of 1, but some have a Damage characteristic of 2 or more.
