Are Bonereapers just "Bootleg" Stormcast? - Let's Chat!

[@indurasavant1831]

I love my own personal soulmasson I made which I've thoughtfully named, "Chef Boneardy"

[@kelticnord9875]

That’s hilarious

[@kalebeckart1009]

Bonereapers may have been designed first, but my personal thought is that the smiles got added only after Nagash saw all the frowny faces on the SCE helmets.

[@d-emprahexpects]

Awesome theory 😂

[@marekshatat]

Well it is said that morteks can use strategies and even fight well without leaders. They are not just golems, they are culture.

[@auroralee]

Even if fractured, the soul of a Mortek is still a warrior. Unlike a regular reanimated corpse, which just stands there unless you tell it to do something. I like to think rather than memory, lower level Mortek have those combat instincts of tactics and formations more than any personality.

[@vitogunnhilder]

If you think about it, if Sigmar and Nagash had been somehow more compromising with one another, they might have created a far superior fighting force. Imagine Sigmar reforging the vessels of these heroes and Nagash sanctifying the spirits that would occupy them. Or something like that. Edit: Also, the Ossiarch Bonereapers aren’t just supposed to be a fighting force. They’re also a culture. Nagash wants them to create not just destroy, and it’s not just the Mortisans that are able to do that.

[@llamaboss1434]

Sigmar does a fine job cooperating with other gods, it's pretty clear that the problem is Nagash.

[@vitogunnhilder]

@@llamaboss1434 Nagash was the last member of the Pantheon to leave Sigmar. Clearly the issue was Sigmar.

[@destructivepanda5226]

Such is the power of Nagash

[@jeanmariek2851]

@@llamaboss1434lmao bro eventhough he planned to betray him before, Nagash was literally the last member of the pantheon to leave sigmar. If the guy who planned to stab u in the back is one the last ppl that are faithful to u there is problem somewhere 🤣

[@codyweaver7546]

Stormcast: You're just a cheap fucking knock off. Bonereaper: No no no, I'm the upgrade.

[@lichen24moss]

You should try making videos discussing the technology of the mortal realms. Some people mistakenly think that the mortal realms are stuck in the medieval age. But in truth, they are probably far more advance than we are. They seem to rely on magitech or some type of techno sorcery. I hope you can expand more on this. Maybe a discussion about how they compare with current day technology and technology such as that of the EOM in 40k or other settings would be interesting.

[@TheDarkDiamond]

How did I not notice this video added 4 months ago. Love bonereapers! Thank you so much for making so much lore. You have an awesome voice to listen to while at work!

[@adambielen8996]

Sigmar didn't copy the Bonereapers because he specifically set out to make Order's version of Chaos Warriors. Also one way to slow the Bonereapers' snowball is to cremate the dead. Which is common practice in Aqshy and the Lumineth learned to do in their war with Nagash.

[@akumaking1]

Can you do a video on how Total Warhammer factions like the Vampirates or Cathay to be integrated into AoS?

[@jonas639]

Finally another video about my bone boys. Now I only hope for a Why play Bonereapers? from you.

[@Ankhtowe]

Well, the new GHB means that such a video would be better off waiting for a bit, as the entire game has been flipped on its head.

[@davidchan3781]

Thanks for the video, was really entertaining to listen to your explanation of the difference. Currently painting some ossiarch bonereapers as crematorians since exploding skeletons seems fun. Might build some sylvaneth later as well with a burning theme since I enjoy the lore behind winterleaf. Like the idea of burning/exploding skeletons vs burning trees with a grudge.

[@kelvinsantiago7061]

If that's the case then Stormcast Are just bootleg Grail Knights!. (Was the process of Making Grail Knights similar to how gods make Soulbound?).

[@petervizzini8239]

It wasn't

[@Spinelblade]

Nice Dr. Horrible reference. Thumbs up.

[@dantewilliams2757]

I mean wasn’t that the point Nagash wanted soldiers to compete with the stormcast

[@jeanmariek2851]

But bro low level bone reaper are not just golem, they are a culture they are designed also to build. They are perfectly able to make complex decisions even without a leader. I mean Ossiarch were created to compensate the issue of the non autonomy of the skeleton, so it will be pretty dumb to give them the exact same issue

[@edneragnarok]

Can you die in the realm of death? Where do people go who live in shyish when they die?

[@WompaStompaCyn]

Realm of death would be kind of redundant if no one could die in it.

[@WompaStompaCyn]

I wanted to like OBR but the models kill it for me. When I pictured bony Stormcast equivalent I wasn't expecting hordes of little smiling manlet skeletons. I like the big bone construct models, but I really hate the mortek guard.

[@wrongix6544]

Dont hate them but its rly strange cuz in a book i read it said that a mortek guard was 8 feet... that doesnt show on the model :(

[@onionhat745]

I'm in the same boat. I like the OBR lore, but dislike most of the models, especially their knobby heads. The catapult is great, though.

[@jaredmccain7555]

i wonder if the ossiarch bonerepaers were one of the first models for aos which is why there scaled a bit small, like they had the models planned for a while. Nagash, arhkan and the morghast harbingers from end times look pretty similar to the ossiarch bonereapers.

[@wargamerwilly8756]

Doctor Horrible's Sing along?

[@2Tough]

Nailed it :)

[@matthewmontalvo6338]

Nagash made the ossiarch to upset the status quo. Because the status is never quo.

[@2Tough]

You win 😆

[@CyrodiilCome]

I'd say they're tomb kings lite

[@zachschreck]

Not at all. The Bonereapers are undead constructs designed by the last 2 Tomb Kings, they're bootleg Ushabti

[@krimson4980]

Dr. Horrible

[@niilofriden4465]

[@alecadanglao8386]

Bonereapers definetly look better though

[@wrongix6544]

Big time

[@Martin-kt7cp]

Yep, it’s one of the reasons I despise the army. It’s a cheap knockoff and feels like a cop out on GW’s side.
