Katakros is a named character that is a single model. He is armed with Inda-Khaat and the Shield Immortis.
COMPANIONS: Katakros is accompanied by a Gnosis Scrollbearer that attacks with a Nadirite Dagger, a Prime Necrophoros that attacks with a Soulreaver Greatblade, an Aviarch Spymaster that attacks with a Spirit Dagger, and a Liege-Immortis that attacks with Nadirite Duelling Blades.
The companions that currently accompany Katakros vary depending on the number of wounds suffered by this model, as shown on the damage table. You can only use the companion abilities on the right for the companions currently accompanying Katakros, and only those companions can attack. For all other rules purposes, companions are treated in the same manner as a
mount.
WARMASTER: If this unit is included in an Ossiarch Bonereapers army, it is treated as a
general even if it is not the model picked to be the army’s general.
Deadly Combination: Katakros can send a foe staggering with a blow from the Shield Immortis and exploit the opening with a follow-up strike from his glaive, Inda-Khaat.
If the unmodified
hit roll for an attack made with the Shield Immortis is 6, that attack inflicts 2
mortal wounds on the target in addition to any normal damage.
Mortarch of the Necropolis: Katakros is the most perfect of Nagash’s constructs and ruler of the Ossiarch Empire.
At the start of your
hero phase, if this model is on the battlefield you can pick up to 3 different friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units wholly within 24" of this model. For each of those units, you can either
heal up to 3 wounds allocated to that unit or, if no wounds are allocated to it, you can return a number of
slain models to that unit with a combined Wounds characteristic of 3 or less.
Nadirite Weapons: Nadirite weapons can steal an opponent’s life-force.
If the unmodified
hit roll for an attack made with a Nadirite weapon is 6, that attack scores 2 hits on the target instead of 1. Make a
wound and save roll for each hit.
Endless Duty: The service an Ossiarch Boneaper owes their liege never, ever ends; if so ordered, they will continue striking at the foe with relentless regularity until no one is left to oppose them.
You can use this
command ability in your
shooting phase or any
combat phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS unit that is wholly within 12" of a model with this command ability. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of weapons used by that unit in that phase. You cannot pick the same unit to benefit from this command ability more than once per phase.
Supreme Lord of the Bonereaper Legions: An Ossiarch force personally led by Katakros is said to be worth ten times the number of an identical force led by his generals.
You can use this
command ability in your
hero phase if
KATAKROS is your general. If you do so, until your next hero phase, add 1 to
hit rolls for attacks made by friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units while they are wholly within 18" of this model, and add 1 to
save rolls for attacks that target friendly
MORTIS PRAETORIAN units while they are wholly within 18" of this model. You can only use this command ability once per hero phase.
Aviarch Spymaster: The Aviarch Spymaster can use their spy network to disrupt the plans of Katakros’ enemies.
Once per turn you can roll a dice when your opponent receives a
command point. If you do so, on a 4+ that command point is lost.
Gnosis Scrollbearer: The Gnosis Scrollbearer that accompanies Katakros transcribes his edicts onto binding contracts that cannot be refused.
At the start of your
hero phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit that is on the battlefield. Until your next hero phase, subtract 1 from
hit rolls for attacks made by that unit that target friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units.
Prime Necrophoros: This Necrophoros holds aloft Katakros’ personal battle banner.
When you use this model’s
Supreme Lord of the Bonereaper Legions command ability, it affects friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units while they are wholly within 36" of this model instead of wholly within 18" of this model.
