The art for the Mortek Crawlsr made me realize just how that thing gets around. I didn't realize it was a centipede.

They are definitely an army I could recommend. Not too overly complicated, but still having enough depth gameplay-wise to keep things interesting. Also most lists don’t have that many models so it won’t be a ton to paint up.

@@rocomet It was either them or the idoneth deepkin which I do very much love more conceptually and aesthetically they just seem more of a hobby and gameplay challenge for a new player so OBR seems like a great first pick

For sure, I mostly haven't mentioned allies much since 2 of the 3 armies I've covered Ossiarch Bonereapers and Skaven don't really get allies. For Slaves to darkness stuff their best units to ally in from other armies would be Be'lakor and the good cultist keyword units like Corvus Cabal, The Unmade and Untamed Beasts, since they can bring some interesting abilities that the mono-god armies may not have access to. Be'lakor in particular is especially popular, I'd be willing to bet he has seen more competitive play as an ally than in his own army.

Just come to the table with a soundboard ready with a bunch of soundbites like "Rattle 'em, Boys!", "You are hereby forcibly drafted into the Skeleton War, do not resist", and "Spooky Scary Skeletons, send shivers down your spine..."

Don't forget the Skeletor cosplay as the final cherry ontop

I'll most likely be putting the next main video after gloomspite up for a poll, so no guarantee which army I'll be doing next. But it's a possibility!

Lode of Saturation (Artifact) + Impenitrable Ranks (Command ability)

In the Ossairch Bonereapers Allegiance Abilities “In addition, the restriction that you cannot use the same command ability more than once in the same phase does not apply to Ossiarch commands.”

Thank you!@@rocomet

Yeah, a well fortified OBR Castle with Immortis Guard and Katakros can be one of the hardest things to make a meaningful dent in right now, which is probably the biggest issue external-balance wise with the army. Bit of a shame but hopefully GW will address it in the next battlescroll

In the following combat phase they can be picked to fight assuming they successfully charged

@@rocomet so i can charge in the enemies charging pahase, and in his combat phae i can fight? :) im new to the game , sorry for the quetsions

Honestly, you are probably overthinking it, like I said in the video OBR subfactions are more of just cute bonuses rather than something you build the entire army around, at least not to the extent to how it is for most subfactions. Bring a Mortarch of your choice, a Boneshaper with the key artifact, and a solid amount of the revivable units like Horses and Immortis Guard and maybe Stalkers and you are set. And you can sprinkle in some other unit(s) you like the look of. Key thing is you want to lean into model regeneration slightly more to make use of your stuff exploding when it's slain

@@rocomet yeah but i was talking more on lore. since they’re particularly the most “defiant” towards Nagash

Neither, start of every battle round

@rocomet Wow... iv been playing that wrong then... it says when you determine your starting command points, I just assumed just the once when you start the game...

Yeah it's not an immediately obvious rule, the reason this is, is because starting command points are an explicitly defined thing in the core rules, check section 4.1.1

You get 6 CP if you have 7 or more units, it's not worded very intuitively. So because it's cumulative it means you get every bonus you fulfill. If you have 7 units, you get 1+2+3 command points since you fulfill every requirement

I'd call it a mid-tier value box, not a must-buy but not terrible either. It's like a better version than the vanguard box for OBR since you get a better hero and less unimportant units overall.

In my opinion, it's a pretty fair price point for him, even with the recent points nerf to 500 points his war scroll does a lot of heavy lifting.
