== Why Play Ossified Undead ==

The Ossified Undead are an unrelenting tide of deathless iron.

'''Pros:'''
* Ossified reduces the impact of AP.
* Undead negates many of the issues with Morale
*Some pretty strong quality values for your army
'''Cons:'''
*Very narrow unit selection
*(Almost) Your entire army is Slow
*Shooting is near-nonexistent
==Army Special Rules==
* '''Ossified:''' Attacks targeting this model reduce their AP value by 1, to a minimum of AP(0). While ineffective against hordes of basic Hand Weapons, it will make things like Great Weapons less powerful.
*'''Swift:''' This model may ignore the Slow rule.
*'''Undead:''' Whenever this unit takes a morale test, it is passed automatically. Then, roll as many dice as remaining models/tough in the unit, and for each result of 1-2 the unit takes one wound, which can’t be regenerated.
*'''War Aspect:''' When this model fights in melee, they randomly get either Rending or AP(+1)
==Wizard Spells==
*'''Enslave (4+):''' Enemy unit within 12" takes -1 to hit in melee. No better way to keep your bony boys unharmed than making them unable to get hurt.
*'''Undermine (4+):''' One enemy unit within 12" takes 2 AP 2 hits.
*'''Command (5+):''' One friendly unit within 12" can immediately move 6". The fact that your army is Slow just proves how invaluable this spell is.
* '''Deadly Contract (5+):''' One enemy model within 12" takes 4 hits. While they lack AP, it's a good way to at least dent a hero or brute.
*'''Deception (6+):''' Two enemy units within 6" take 6 AP 1 hits each. Way stronger than most spells like this and still able to flatten mobs.
*'''Drain (6+):''' Enemy unit within 18" takes -2 to hit in shooting. Considering how easily your army can get caught in the open, that -2 is incredibly powerful.
==Unit Analysis ==
===Heroes ===
*'''Herald of Death:''' Your premier hero, gifted with Poison as well as War Aspect to guarantee some measure of AP. That said, it is merely a 4+ for quality and defense, which might see it suffer a bit against dedicated hero-killers, and the loss of buffs means that the herald will only be useful as a beatstick. If you need mobility, then you'll need to buy a Skeletal Steed.
**''Melee:'' As mentioned above, every weapon the Herald uses has Poison, including its default Hand Weapon. If you are looking for something more, you can go for a Lance for Impact on the charge, a halberd for Rending, a Spear for Phalanx support, a Great Weapon for a guaranteed AP(2) or Dual Hand Weapons for more attacks.*'''Bone Master:''' A budget hero, costing only 25 points over the Herald of Death's 40. While capable of buying all the same weapons sans Poison, their upgrades are vastly different.
** ''Buffs:'' Taking a Trophy Banner is a simple addition for Fear. Soul Master grants them access to Wizard and the spells available to the army.
**''Mounts:'' Like the Herald of Death, you can also buy a Skeletal Steed for the Bone Master, boosting its speed to normal with Swift. However, you could instead buy a Bone Throne, improving its Tough rating and granting Arcane Power so you can shut down enemy wizards.
===Infantry & Cavalry===
*'''Guardian:''' Your basic troop is quite powerful, with a 4+ to quality and defense on top of everything else. Poison gives them a decent amount of offensive power, but you can also provide either a Halberd or Spear depending on how you want to position them and the Great Weapon can help rip through armored foes.

*'''Death Rider:''' A Guardian on horseback, meaning that they're moving at normal speed with Impact. This comes at a rather sizeable price hike though. If you plan on riding hard into the Impact life, then the Lance is your only option.

*'''Stalker:''' An even crazier melee nut, carrying AP(1) Quad Blades and War Aspect to improve their AP game. This makes them more potent in melee (especially if you give Dual Falchions for a default AP(2) before factoring in War Aspect), but they remain just as vulnerable, if not more so, than the mere Guardians. That said, there are no fiercer beatsticks than these.

*'''Immortal:''' The elite of the elite, carrying a 3+ to quality and defense as well as a Halberd for a powerful melee weapon out the box. Though they're still Slow, they have a very powerful combination of a 3+ defense, Tough(3), Regeneration and Ossified to make them very difficult to remove.
