Ossiarch Bonereapers – Mortek Guard
4" 1 4+ 1 Mortek Guard are the passionless heart of the Ossiarch legions. Though numerous in comparison to other Bonereaper constructs, they are no mindless chattel. The blend of warlike personalities that pulses within each Mortek’s soultrap gem grants the capacity for autonomy, though only a flicker – enough to adapt to changing circumstances and venerate Nagash without the possibility of any troubling notions of individuality shining through. Their strikes are clinical and efficient, whether delivered with nadirite spears and swords or with the greatblades favoured by those Morteks fashioned from the mutilated souls of berserkers and weaponmasters.
Discipline is the watchword of the Mortek Guard, the fulcrum upon which their successes turn. They cannot be bribed, induced to panic or burdened by despair; if they feel anything, it is only satisfaction at demonstrating the Bonereapers’ battlefield mastery. Whether they fight upon desert sands or beneath the canopies of flesh-eating trees, the Mortek Guard endure the harshest conditions without comment. Corpses pile around their feet as they kill with machine-like efficiency, preferring to preserve the bones of their victims whenever possible so that their final tally might contribute to the endless tithe. | ||

Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail.

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
