Just off the starboard bow of the good ship WarCom the Idoneth Deepkin breach the waves, ready to defend their spirit-reefs from encroaching corruption and stock up their stores of soul-stuff via bloodthirsty raids on unfortunate victims. With new heroes and a monstrous new Manifestation, everyone’s favourite underwater aelves are the focus of this week’s Saturday pre-order.
Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin
Command the fury of sea and storm, noble Idoneth warriors, shoals of ferocious fish, and aquatic horrors with Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin. This 98-page book contains the rules you need to field them in battle, combined with background lore and gorgeous art and miniatures photography that immerses you in the history of the Cythai, and their struggles against the corruption spreading across the Mortal Realms.
This book contains all of the Idoneth Deepkin warscrolls, battle traits, artefacts, spells, and a new Manifestation, plus a new Spearhead, two Regiments of Renown, two Armies of Renown, and Path to Glory rules.
Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin (Gamer’s Edition)
Those truly dedicated to the ways of the Akhelian and the Isharann can choose to opt for the gamer’s edition of the battletome – which contains everything the full-size version does, but shrunk down into a convenient little package. Better still, it also comes with a set of handy reference cards for your army. It’s only available while stocks last.
Ikon of the Sea
Advancing forth with uncanny agility thanks to their affinity with the ocean, the Ikon of the Sea charges into combat to cut down their foes, empowering their allies to join them in an unstoppable surge. This miniature can instead be built as an Ikon of the Storm, a ferocious combatant who pulls his enemies into a lacerating maelstrom of blows.
Mathaela, Oracle of the Abyss
In this time of Chaos, Mathaela, Oracle of the Abyss has foreseen great disaster and has risen from their home in the deepest depths of the Ghyranic seas to prevent catastrophe from unfolding. They crush foes with abyssal magic, and use their affinity with the creatures of the ocean to encourage the beasts and companions of the Idoneth to fight ferociously.
Idoneth Deepkin: Manifestations
By performing dangerous elemental rituals, Idoneth sorcerers willing to undertake the risk can give the ocean a bestial shape, creating a living tempest known as the Incarnate of the Deep. This wild oceanic Manifestation summons Abyssal Tendrils to ensnare foes so that the Idonethy may more easily crush them during their tidal advance.
Isharann Soulscryer
Using their cyfar compass to single out the strongest souls to harvest, and using their vast knowledge of hidden oceanic pathways to help their allies navigate the deep and ambush their foes, the Isharann Soulscryer is a key figure in a successful Idoneth raid. This miniature was previously only available in the current Idoneth Deepkin Spearhead, and is now available to purchase separately.
Spearhead: Akhelian Tide Guard
When Akhelian monarchs ride out to vanquish their foes, they are joined by an escort known as the Tide Guard. As fast and unpredictable as the raging sea, this Spearhead comprises a unit of 10 Namarti Reavers, three Akhelian Ishlaen Guard, and three Akhelian Morrsarr Guard, who all work together to protect their Akhelian King and race down his foes.
Idoneth Deepkin Warscroll Cards
It’s always sink or swim in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, but you can help keep your head above water with a set of Idoneth Deepkin Warscroll Cards. It contains 27 quick reference cards covering both your warscrolls and rules for the Akhelian Tide Guard in Spearhead.
Idoneth Deepkin Dice
Whether you’re sending your Akhelian and their Namarti warriors into battle, or casting aqueous spells to confound and crush your foes, the Idoneth Deepkin Dice lend a suitably watery vibe to proceedings. This set of 16 translucent dice are frosted blue, with dark blue pips and the Idoneth Deepkin faction icon on the six face.
White Dwarf 514
Magnus the Red graces the cover of issue 514 of White Dwarf, which is focused on the mutative followers of Tzeentch. Expect to find a wealth of information on the Changer of the Ways within this maddening tome, with more discoveries by the Knights of Titan and insight into the grand rivalry between Tzeentch and Nurgle. A new Combat Patrol with daemonic elements and an Army of Renown with Legends rules give you new ways to use your own Tzeentchian forces in battle.
There is also a report on the Grand Narrative that took place at Warhammer World last year, and an in-depth article covering the miniatures design for Grand Cathay. On top of that, there’s loads of great Warhammer content, including more from the Bunker and the next instalment of the Trials of Albarak by James Brogden.*
