While I understand the reasons for it being due to both the setting being newer than Warhammer 40K and also the ill-will from The End Times...

...I feel like it's a minor tragedy that nobody outside of that scene talks about how Warhammer Age of Sigmar has an entire faction that collects bone taxes for the skeleton war.

Like, that's not even an exaggeration, that is literally what the Ossiarch Bonereapers do!

Ossiarch Bonereapers are happy to extend the peace of the Necropolis to living subjects- in exchange for 350 good quality bones per slain enemy combatant slain for the safety of that subject; to be collected each five years, on pain of death.

They’re almost sad to have to reap a mortal vassal, in their codex they double count a bone tithe before slaying the village that failed the tax by 7 bones. I imagine it’s like liquidizing a farming project.

See, the Ossiarch aren’t skeletons. They’re not made of bones stacked in the right order. They’re shaped from the bone tithes like statues out of clay, or like magical automata. To them, the living are a cross between pupae and livestock.
