Hello everyone !!

These Beast are so Pretty :)

Fluff :

The bonds that the Idoneth Deepkin share with their beasts is a difficult one. While the Stormcast Eternals and Fyreslayers may possess a deep connection with their draconic allies, the Idoneth Deepkin must magically enslave their bond-beasts using the Embailors, a specialised sect of the Isharann. In order for these magics to take hold, the creatures must be blinded, for without this measure they risk slipping their bonds and escaping in a murderous rampage. There are groups and even whole enclaves of Idoneth Deepkin who trawl the oceans for beasts to hunt and capture, with the Ghurish forces of Dhom-hain training particularly vicious specimens.

Hello everyone !!

Small post about the Isharann

The Isharann are one of the higher castes of the Idoneth Deepkin, trading the martial might of the Akhelians for more unusual powers, from magical spells to powerful prayers. Isharann are drawn from those Idoneth Deepkin born with full souls, and thus they live as long as their distant kin. This allows them to fully dedicate their lives to learning and scholarship of the mystical arts.

Hello everyone !!

Transcript of the Deepkin Tactic with a member of the testing team :

Command trait : Unstoppable fury , during high tide general get +2 attacks, to 6A 3+ 3+ -1 1d3.
Enclave trait : Eels reroll 1, hit and wound on turn 3 (i think, it wasn't super clear).
Akhelian generalgrant Rider Battle line.
Eidolon Aspect of the sea (magic version), but still have a lot of attack/shooting. Dormant energy : heal 1d3 if no spell/dispell, 12 wound only. 3 spells
Seamist : casting 6, pick any unit in 12" heal 1d3 or 1d3 dmg if ennemy.
Tsunami : pick d6 unit -1hit -1bravery.
Maelstrom : cast on 6, deal 1d3 to nearly unit.
Leviadon : Grant cover around him 12"

Tide Caster :
Riptide : -1 to hit , so you can stack it with the Eidolon tsunami
Arcane corrosion : cast on a 6, mesure the closest unit, more far they are the more damag they take. 1/2/3/4 MW up to 48".

Soul Scryier : Combat teleportation device, weak attack but
Finder of the way : 2 ID units can Deep strike on the table edge, 9 " away of enemy
Charge phase : pick 1 enemy in the charge phase ID unit get +3" to charge it (combo !!!)
Ritual : roll 2d6 on a 10+, you can add +1 for being close to the priest / Ship wreck / Heroes. Grant Heal, reroll stuff. (Ishran ritual all hero can do it)

Namarti : Sweeping blow, : +1A against 1w model and +1D vs models with wound >4 . (unit up to Thirty models).

Reavers : Very good in units of 30. Two version of shooting 15"(1A) or 9"(3A) 4+ 4+ no rend 1d.

Akhelian shiealan guard on eels : 3+ 3+ 3A NR 1d / 1A d3 3+ 3+/ 1d3 3+ 3+ d1/ battleline / 4+/ fly / 14"/4W/Immune to rend +1sv on charge. It's the defensive version, combo very nicely with the leviadon (that grant cover) so you are always a 3+ ignore rend. Could go to 2+ with Mystique Shield.

Leviadon : 16w, 3+ ,2 Harpoon 3A 3+3+ 24", Move 12", 1 attack 2+ 2+ rend 2 Damage D6, on a 6 deal 6 Mortal wounds.
4A 3+ 3+ damage 2. + attacks from riders. Grant cover to nearby ID 12" (the whole unit have to be inside 12") So doesn't work on a charge.

Command ab of the king : grant extra attack.

Gloomtide shipwreck : at start, the 2 parts of the model can be placed close or far away, within 6" you get a 6+ fnp against mortal., ennemy within 3" you take 1mw on a 4-5 and 1d3 on a 6.

Note : The beta tester didn't know/forgot that you don't get cover save when charging ^^ But the Codex writer knew about it, tot avoid to stack bonus for eels on charge turn or on the Leviadon or during first turn.

PS : Don't forget that all ID have rules that say you can only shoot the closest unit/model. Btw I really hope that under 10W heroes get this rules in every army.

ps2 : Battle report army list :
Akhelian King, Isharann Tidecaster, Isharann Soul Scryer, Aspect of the Sea, 20 Namarti Thralls, 3 Ishlaen Guard, 3 Ishlaen Guard,10 Namarti Reavers, Akhelian = 1960 points So very elite army !

That is all
/Cheers.

Fluff transcript :

Jeremy vitok
writer since 10/12y
With GW since forever
Background writer, did the Kharadron Overlord.

Idoneth Deepkin :
-They got a briefing with models and concept and the general direction, then the writers got a lot of freedom to drive the fluff in a lot of new direction. "Lot of blank canevas"

-Who are they ? :
-At the end of world that was, Slanesh eat all the elves.
-Slanesh has been captuted and Tyrion Teclis Malerion take the souls out (don't forget morathi)
-Teclis remember of the old elves and build new elves smart, honorable, magician. But it's not working well and as Teclis was about to remove them the fled to the bottom of the Ocean.
-There a Different Enclave of ID
-At first they are hiding because they are super scared of being dragged back to slanesh belly. But it's more of a subconscious thing.
-When they start a new generation, some new born are without soul. So they start stealing souls on fish but it didn't work so they upgraded to other races.
-Many generations later they are the are used to steal/raid souls and kind of repressing the bad thing they do.
-They use Memory magic to make other forget them.
-In the depth of the sea they became militarized to survive at the bottom of the sea.
-Aethersea : bottom of the sea but you can breath and walk but have fish too, they bring it everywhere.
-They evolved thei magic by building bubble around their city made of coral tower.
-They have city moving on continent sized beast (still made of corals^^)
-They turned fish into servant because there are not numerous, but in a nutshell they can walk breath and have fish at the same time, all thx to the Aethersea !
-Some of the ID are broken, mads, even some enclave are 100% dark and secret.
-They can target a lot of non coastal space.
-Their raids are inspired from "bad fairies" story with lot of terrifying stuff.
-They have magic user bringing the Aethersea, but some of them are illusion but not all of them.
-Their Cities are surrounded by ship Graveyard with a lot of sea monster nesting there.

The different Enclave :
6 different enclave in the book but they are more than 6 in fluff .
Ironrock enclave
Largest and most noble, first founder/born. Their leader was the first pulled out of slanesh and it went downhill from there.
The love to stay in sensory deprived room, reclusive (trauma from being captive of the sensory god ^^)
They are the more likely to be allied
Best caster !

Domhain
Giant eels everywhere, they are Angry Beast master/Tamer savage ^^
Rival with IronRock

Each enclave come from a different realm and change their inhabitant accordingly.

-They have a sea of suicide.

Giant Slug piggy rider
Second generation founding, split from Ironrock.
Build one enormous castle on a continent sized slug, million strong (maybe he said billion^^)
They don't really control the slug so they become super good at defending and having illusion as defense.

Beast master :
Mind magic to enslave them and transfer their sensory to themselves ^^
Giant shark, Turtle..
They have Service animals (talking about octopod lothan), the guy that count the souls tally. The soul accountant. (inspiring nearby troop)
In the fluff the ID got inspired by the old Dragon rider of the world that was !

Beast
-Leviadon : the big one (the turtle?), Giant shelled creature sending refracting field.
-Aquilion giant shark : Heavy hitter, some range attack, multiple build options.
-Eels Cavalry (2 sorts).

Caster (ishran noble)
Soul Scryer : soul sensor.
Soul render : Transferring souls (btw each enclave have a soul bank for hard time)

Soul less :
Namarti, second rate Citizen.

Aquilian (noble) are the one born with souls.

2 flavors : Aquilian (military, king,) ishran magic user.

-Eidolon : 2 aspects, Maathlan is dead, the elves just pray him because it's an implanted memory. But now they have a bunch of soul and the image of him is parpaing as an avatar (but more weird)

-Some weird look and giggle from Ceri and Jeremy about unrevealed giant sea beast.

That's all ! Sorry for the spelling errors they where talking super fast and i am falling asleep will correct tomorow.

Night night
Bob.
