AoS Are Ossiarchs any good? (Practice not theory)

Petrifex is added to a list of forbidden words, because dam it is ridiculously overpowered.

but salamanders do offer a viable solution to all that armor
 
Honostly the forbidden word should be nerfed. I was talking with my buddy who plays them and he agrees.
We came up with the idea to simply allow the entire army reroll 1s to save. It's still pretty good (entire army gets mystic shield for free) and doesnt make them ridiculous
 
Indeed, that is very potent but definitely not as ridiculous as +1 save. Hopefully they implement something like this as playing against forbidden word just isn’t fun
 
I'll just leave this here... Stats from AoS Reminders (number of selections made by users, Petrifex accounts for 23.8% of allegiance selections)

new news OBR has taken 2 1st place wins (including the Australia masters) this week and surpassed slaneshs win rates making it the best army in the game at least for this week(i know i know it's to early to tell but dang people). toxic positiveity peddlers can now eat their words

damn, 28% when there's 55 possible allegiances being picked is a disturbing outlier...

So I have been doing lots of thinking on this and we do have a few ways to deal with them

if you want to kill them, salamanders are the way to go. They offer the perfect solution for heavy armor as they offer good mortal wounds and heavy rend.
Saurus knights arguably are a better screen as they last longer and in firelance can put out some hurt
stellar tempest on a unit of Mortek guard is lethal.
Also the idea of a Kroak nado probably is a decent one with all the mortal wounds

so we aren’t completely out of the running but it is not an easy match up

Salemanders like volume of fire, you'l kill a couple but you're not going to kill them quick enough to achieve much.
Kroaknado suffers from it being too spread out over different targets. Admittadly it's better than nothing.​
 
Well with salamanders getting reroll hits on 3+ 3+ chances of dealing d6 damage is good. Especially with the high rend and mortal wound chance salamanders could be a decent option to killing ossiarchs

On average it's still going to take you at least 2 salamanders to get a single hit in, and that's ignoring the fact that they still have a save.
I mean, it's one of our better options, but their still going to struggle to do much.
 
been playing obr a lot lately. Here is my thoughts.
OBR is a hard counter to slaneesh so until it completely hates slaneesh out of the the tournament scene I do not for see GW doing anything about its rules. This being the case I recommend exploiting their slow movement speed. kill their heroes like any other death army to limit their buffs and screen with endless spells and skinks to slow their movement. Do not bother killing anything else if you can avoid it. Fighting OBR with lizards is a mistake.
Stay on objectives and hold as long as you can. Keep slann and important solos out of los of shooting and keep them away from their 1 per game insta death abilities

So basically what your saying is don’t play against them. I also think +1 to saves is a hard counter to everybody
