kenshin620 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yes they are. Also an example of a few units, a few heroes, and a big kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfric Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 It would be nice if they had their own scenery - say a deepwater lake that they could set-up in which is impassable for other armies. maybe even more, so they could teleport from one to another.

Barkanaut Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The way they are hyping Deepkin a lot, they know they got a winner like the Overlords. Expect a nice meaty release. This seems like it’s the only interesting release GW is putting out between 40k and AoS this year and possibly even next year. Not enough xenos and too much power armor/demons. Unless they release new versions of skwven or lizardmen for AoS or another dwarf army I think between ko, Id, and potentially a beastclaw army I might start someday I’ll be maxed out on things I want to build.

Gorthaur Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah tbh I think we are hyping up the Deepkin, GW hasn't gave the slightest hint about them aside from clearly planning ahead by putting mention of them in the DoK book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwill_of_the_Woods Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I think that is the beauty of tactical marketing. Controlled "leaks" to get consumers to build their own hype. With every little picture, rumour, or teaser video people will go nuts. Well done GW. I'm on the hype-train all they way to Spends-ville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already are spikey and sea themed and we know they are reboxing some old kits. Plus despite being featured heavily in the Anvilguard box they did not receive any special rules in the GHB2017. This is where my mind went as well. It just seemed fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order: High Aelves (probably Swifthawk Agents based?), Free Peoples (with Duardin thrown in?). The Sea Aelves (corsair based?) Destruction: Spiderfang Grots, Moonclan Grots... Death: Third Faction Based on Mummies... NOT Tomb king though? Chaos: Slaanesh (most likely re-box with plastic keeper of Secrets +1 other unit... I'm guessing Fiends), Skaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 In the new lore it mentions teclis/tyrion and malakith are making their own elves. So eventually someday those three are possibilities. In particulars teclic/tyrion golden elves. Skypirate grots have been mentioned in the Kharadron book. Also I honestly think GW is considering doing fish-men too. I mean if Khradron fight Skypirate grots then the underwater factions would fight fishmen who are likely destruction but possibly chaos. I think there are way more possible armies than this, but these have been mentioned at least and make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaMage Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I don't hold out much hope for the older aelf ranges...they miiight include Swifthawks in Tyrion's Hyish-aelf army, but I am doubtful, as they were described as...angelic, I think?

Yep but unlike Skypirate Grots Deepkin are mentioned as allies in matched play for DoK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch of Izalith Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 5 hours ago, Ashicus said: Death: Third Faction Based on Mummies... NOT Tomb king though? I'm thinking that an expanded Nighthaunt faction is the next likely release for death. Nighthaunt are not updated in LoN - and GA Death and Soulblight are. + the Knight of Shrouds is a Nighthaunt and remember GW write rules for models - they don't make models to fit rules. So someone has been working on sculpting ghosts. Added to that is the fact that spirit/wraith type creatures can be modelled to look very distinctive - and to look like pretty much anything - while the rest of the undead tropes are fairly generic in other fantasy/horror IP. This will serve GW's copyright agenda. The other hint is the "soul thief" in Malign Portents and Legions of Nagash. Someone who isn't Sigmar or the Aelven gods is stealing souls from Nagash and nobody can find out who it is. Whats easier to hide than things that don't have a corporeal form? Sorry, I realise this has nothing to do with Idoneth Deepkin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminous (wish it'd written radiant) angelic beings of reason. I can imagine Eldritch council and SHA among the allies of Tyrion's light aelves.

Ar-Pharazôn Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 When I hear dragon turtles, I think of either the massive turtle in Last Airbender, or the Korean Turtle Ships. Either one would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose profiles have been integrated into an army with the new line of miniatures? DoK make me think they were more of an exception and a case of few new miniatures added to the old army. Although I'd like to see such treatment for all sub factions, there's only so much special characters and resources that you can dedicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
