Review: Ossiarch Bonereaper Liege-Mortek, War Chariot, Mortis Reapers & Mortek Triaxes

The Ossiarch Bonereapers march forth with a substantial new wave of reinforcements. Adding to the bone tithe, we’re reviewing four new kits: the customisable Liege-Mortek, the impressive Liege-Kavalos on War Chariot, the dynamic Mortis Reapers assassins, and the long-awaited Mortek Triaxes archers. In this comprehensive review, we examine all the build options with high-res sprue images.

The new Ossiarch Bonereaper releases will be available for pre-order starting Saturday, 21 February 2026. The pre-order period lasts two weeks, with the official release date set for 7 March 2026.

Ossiarch Bonereapers unboxing

The Ossiarch Bonereapers are getting a full four new kits with their new battletome (plus a new Warhammer Underworlds warband, which we’ll review next week).

Additionally, there’s a new Battletome, plus a Spearhead, the Kavalos Vanguard, as well as two new bundle boxes that are only available whilst stocks last: the Battleforce: Null Myriad Phalanx, and the Regiment of Renown: Heralds of the Bone-tithe.

In this post we’re taking a closer look at the four new kits.

Liege-Mortek reviewed

The Liege-Mortek is a new leader on foot, lieutenants of the Liege-Kavalos. The kit comprises one small sprue, a 32mm base, and instructions. The RRP is 31 €.

Like some other recently released heroes on foot (such as the Vanari Lord Regent of the Lumineth Realm-lords, which I reviewed here), the Liege-Mortek offers some customisation options. You first build the body, then you can choose between different weapon and head options. Whichever combination you choose, the silhouette will be strng, with the right arm raised to strike. Thanks to the additional height from the sculpted base, the Liege-Mortek towers over his subordinates.

The build options:

• 1 right forearm with sword (part 12), 1 right forearm with spear (13), 1 right forearm with axe (14)
• 2 different heads with helmets (9 and 10), as well as an unhelmeted head (11)
• Not a build option per se, but the sculpted base (15) is completely separate from the feet, and the crow can also be easily omitted

Liege-Kavalos on War Chariot / Kavalos War Chariot reviewed

The major centrepiece release of this Ossiarch Bonereapers wave is certainly the Liege-Kavalos on War Chariot, which can also be built as a regular Kavalos War Chariot. The box contains a three-part sprue with three medium-sized segments, a 120mm oval base, and instructions. The RRP is 61.50 €.

First you begin by building the steed-constructs as well as the body and suspension of the chariot. After that you decide between a Liege-Kavalos or two regular Bonereapers as crew.

The build options:

• For the Liege-Kavalos: 2 particularly ornate head pieces for the steed-constructs (19 and 20) and 2 additional “saddle blankets” (38 and 39, as well as 36 and 37); 1 special front plate for the chariot (21); the Liege-Kavalos himself, who has no options; 2 banner poles (22 and 23, as well as 24 and 25)
• For the regular War Chariot: 2 horned head pieces for the steed-constructs (41 and 42), 1 regular front plate for the chariot (40); 1 charioteer with whip; 1 warrior who can receive either a two-handed mace (63), a bow (55 and 56), or a javelin (59 and 60); for the bow there are two more quivers (57 and 58) and likewise for the javelins (61 and 62), which are placed on the outside of the chariot

All in all, a very cool model that fits perfectly into the Ossiarch Bonereapers range. Both build options look great, and the weapon options for the crew are cool. Only a few alternative heads would have been nice. However, the contact points at the necks are compatible with other Bonereaper models, perhaps you’ve got something in your bitz box.

Mortis Reapers reviewed

Mortis Reapers are assassins who operate behind enemy lines and act with terrifying synchronicity thanks to their unified minds. The box contains one sprue with three small segments. With these you can build 5 models on 32mm bases. An assembly guide is included too. The RRP is 50 €.

Patreon bonus content: Ultra high-res, uncompressed versions of these sprue images (and backsides of the sprues) can be downloaded here.

The build options:

• Model/Pose 1 can be built as either Champion or regular Reaper. The Champion has an arm pair with sickles (part 12 and 13) as well as an extra head (part 4).
• All 5 regular Mortis Reapers can have either a left arm with blade, or a left arm with an opened necrocache complete with sculpted grave sand smoke effect.
• Each of the 5 models carries necrocaches on the left and right of the belt. For this, 16 parts in four different designs are included (7x part 47, 3x 48, 3x 49, 3x 50), which you can distribute freely across the models.

For me, the Mortis Reapers are probably the highlight of this release, perhaps even the entire Ossiarch Bonereapers range. Assassins are simply always cool, and the dynamic poses are really well executed, especially with the optional smoke effects. Apart from these, though, the kit is limited and monopose. A few alternative heads would at least have been nice.

Mortek Triaxes reviewed

Ossiarchs with bows were already teased several years ago with the Warhammer Underworlds warband Kainan’s Reapers. Now they appear in the form of Mortek Triaxes as a full troop type. The box contains a generous 20 models (plus 4 Balefire Braziers). Every 10 models (plus 2 Braziers) are spread across a sprue with two medium-sized segments. You receive this in duplicate (so 2 x 10 models). Additionally, you get 25mm bases and assembly instructions. The RRP is 51.50€.

The build options (per sprue with 10 models):

• Model/Pose 1 can be built as either Champion or regular Triax. The Champion has a special head (part 5), holds the bow lowered, and has a crow on the right hand (2, 7 and 8).
• Model/Pose 2 can be built as alternative Champion or regular Triax. The Champion also has a special head (17), has the right hand raised, and holds the bow lowered (9 and 10).
• Models/Poses 3 to 8 are regular Triaxes.
• Freely interchangeable parts: 10 different heads, 8 different arrow quivers (you also get 3 more quivers, but these only fit specific bodies)
• For the two Braziers you get two leg pairs and two flame bowls, which you can freely combine.

In themselves, the Mortek Triaxes are solid infantry models, provided you like the Bonereapers’ design language. Thanks to the 10 different heads or poses, there’s also visual variety, even in a large unit of 20 models. However, I’ don’t really like’m not really a fan of the heads. “Appropriately” for their role as archers, Nagash grafted the eye sockets on the left half of the face with bone, whilst on the right half the Triaxe have two eyes along with a sort of antenna. I find this looks somehow alien even by Ossiarch Bonereaper standards.

When assembling the models, I noticed that all bodies consist of a front and back half. This creates visible seam lines on the sashes tied around the waist that run right through the fabric. I’m also somewhat critical of the sculpted bowstrings, which are really extremely thin and very easy to break.
