The Bone-Blade Swarm – Osseous Vanguard Encounter Set

Fluttering bundles of teeth and sinew, the Osseous Knights serve as the serrated edge of the Sovereign’s will. Accompanied by the serpentine Bambelin, these blighted fey hunt for living flesh and warm, gushing blood within the sun-starved thickets of Evermere. They are the carnal impulse of the forest made manifest, born from a ravaging desire to rip, slice, and tear.

Highlight

For the Keeper, this set provides a lethal combination of high-mobility skirmishers and a powerful serpentine anchor. The Osseous Knights act as harbingers of dread, utilizing their deceptive size to overwhelm players, while the Bambelin scales the encounter into a true test of tactical positioning.

Encounter Insight

Leverage the Osseous Knights’ Change Size ability to catch Keepers off guard, allowing them to swell from Tiny pests into Medium-sized killers with horrific reach. Use the Bambelin to bottleneck the party in narrow terrain, enabling the knights to exploit their Hungering Essence against any bloodied adventurers. For Keepers desiring a vision of ivory and gore, our Painted Edition is rendered with professional Vallejo and Citadel pigments, secured by the Eternal Seal of Army Painter Matte Varnish.

Tabletop Lore

Contrary to other fey, Osseous Knights possess no individuality or free will; they are born solely from the yearning to dig their mawlike blades into living flesh. They are the silent agents of the Tooth Fairy’s judgment, sent to cause terror among the guilty before the Sovereign herself manifests to reclaim her stolen blessings.

Safe Passage

Before departing our halls, every Artifact undergoes a high-intensity light inspection and is secured in premium cushioned packaging. We provide a Safe Arrival Warranty—if the journey through the void proves too treacherous, the Forge will issue a replacement.
