BATTALIONS: This warscroll can be used in the following warscroll battalions:
•
Mortek Shield-corps
WARMASTER: If this unit is included in a
Mortis Praetorians army, it is treated as a
general even if it is not the model picked to be the army’s general.
COMPANION: This unit is accompanied by a personal guard armed with Retinue Blades. The
Nadirite Weapons battle trait applies to attacks made with Retinue Blades.
Prime Necrophoros: This Necrophoros holds aloft Katakros’ personal banner.
Once per turn, this unit can
issue a command to a friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS unit anywhere on the battlefield without a
command point being spent.
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 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.
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 5+, that command point is lost.
Do Nothing! This One is Mine!: Should an enemy of some repute catch his gaze, Katakros may be spurred to deal with the challenger himself.
Use the bottom row of this unit’s
damage table while it is within 3" of any enemy
HEROES.
Mortarch of the Necropolis: Katakros is the most perfect of Nagash’s constructs and ruler of the Ossiarch Empire.
In your
hero phase, you can pick up to 3 different friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units wholly within 24" of this unit. If that unit is not an
IMMORTIS GUARD or
NECROPOLIS STALKERS unit, you can either
heal up to 3 wounds allocated to that unit or, if no wounds have been allocated to that unit, you can return a number of
slain models to it that have a combined Wounds characteristic of 3 or less.
If that unit is an
IMMORTIS GUARD or
NECROPOLIS STALKERS unit, you can heal up to 3 wounds allocated to that unit, or if no wounds have been allocated to that unit, roll a dice. On a 3+, you can return 1 slain model to that unit with 4 wounds allocated to it.
Endless Duty: The service an Ossiarch Bonereaper owes their liege never ends; if so ordered, they will continue striking at the foe until no one is left to oppose them.
You can use this
command ability in your
hero phase. The unit that receives the command must be a friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS unit. Until your next hero phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that unit’s melee weapons.
Supreme Lord of the Bonereaper Legions: An Ossiarch force personally led by Katakros is said to be worth ten identical forces led by his generals.
You can use this
command ability in your
hero phase if this unit is more than 3" from all enemy units. This unit must receive the command. Until your next hero phase, add 1 to
hit rolls for attacks made by friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units wholly within 24" of this unit and add 1 to
save rolls for attacks that target friendly
OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units wholly within 24" of this unit.
