Hi lads, so, I suppose, like everyone looking at the Ossiarchs, I had a very hard time choosing where I would go with this
amazing army.

So I eventually went with a bubble of borderline unkillable wizards, protected by the Aegis Immortal.
Basically, Mortek Guards, supported by the Soulmason just do the only thing they can do, while Arkhan just dish out the pain,
and cannot be snipped because of the super beefy Immortis Guard.
Meanwhile, hitting a weak flank with the Boneshaper and the Morghasts. The Boneshaper pretty much cannot die,
and the Morghast will be hard to kill, because the Boneshaper can simply keep them alive.

I like the list, Arkhan will probably never die. You'll want to strike a balance between passing wounds off to Arkhan or the Immortis guard. Between the Boneshaper and Arkhans own ability, you can heal him for 6 wounds per turn, while you can ONLY heal damaged Immortis and not bring them back.

As well, I'd take Swords on all the Morteks assuming you haven't gotten your hands on and built 50 of them already In groups of only 20, I feel the swords are still better as they can fight two ranks deep with 1" reach over 25mm.

Not at all, I didn't bought anything so far, wasn't fast enough to get a Feast of Bones...and I had soooo much pain making my choice between all the
amazing possible lists.
That's probably the most annoying thing with Ossiarchs...so many choices, so little points.

Note that you do not have a choice when using soulbound protectors; if the ability is in range you MUST use it.

Also you forgot to take bone-tithe shrieker, I'd swap it instead of the burning head.
