The heavy cavalry of the Ossiarch Bonereaper legions, the Kavalos Deathriders are expert riders mounted on macabre armoured steeds. They clatter into the foe in a wedge formation, breaking battlelines with every ferocious charge.

Each model in a Kavalos Deathriders unit is armed with 1 of the following weapon options: Nadirite Blade; or Nadirite Spear. All models in the unit must be armed with the same weapon option.
MOUNT: This unit’s Kavalos steeds are each armed with Hooves and Teeth.
CHAMPION: 1 model in this unit can be a Mortek Hekatos. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that model’s melee weapon.
STANDARD BEARER: 1 in every 5 models in this unit can be a Necrophoros. Add 1 to
run rolls and
charge rolls for this unit if it includes any Necrophoroi.
Unstoppable Charge: When a Kavalos steed charges the foe, it can use its size and weight to smash the enemy to the ground and crush them beneath its nadirite-shod hooves.
After this unit makes a
charge move, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of this unit and roll a number of dice equal to the unmodified
charge roll for that charge move. For each 5+, that enemy unit suffers 1
mortal wound. In addition, this unit can move an extra 3" when it
piles in if it made a charge move in the same turn.
Deathrider Wedge: Kavalos Deathriders can charge in a deadly arrowhead formation that bursts through enemy defences.
You can use this
command ability in the
charge phase. The command can only be issued by this unit’s Mortek Hekatos, and this unit must receive the command. Until the end of that phase, models in this unit can pass across other models with a Wounds characteristic of 3 or less in the same manner as a model that can
fly.
