I decided I would go ahead and convert the female thralls to have hair, but I'm uncertain if the conversion is convincing enough. Also, I saw the sorceress conversion online somewhere and couldn't help but create one myself. Thank you to the original creator for the great conversion idea! Any chance of more shots?

I mean, if you're willing, a couple angles at close up would be awesome. Haven't seen the sorceress conversion around yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have those rubber sculpting tools, but it just isn't enough without proper experience in sculpting for me. I hope it'll look clean enough once painted though.

Mjolnertf Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hello to all fish lovers!

Weebey Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Seems solid to me, you're gonna need to protect those thralls though if you want to kill anything, also from experience you're gonna have to dance on the edge with your king, cause he's your most reliable way of hurting the enemy but you'll really want hom alive turn 3.

Acid_Nine Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 You know, I will gripe a bit about how the time between eels and battletome kimda killed my enthusiasm for this army, not gonna lie. I still love it to be sure, but at the time of release I was more than willing to buy two boxes of eels, but now I kinda am struggling to buy one. Kinda stinks but feels like they stretched it out too long for what is one of the main units of the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfric Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The drawn-out releases haven't bothered me. I haven't even finished painting the first box of Thralls yet, then on to Reavers. I will buy more as I get units finished. I'm a slow painter, but refuse to be rushed. I shall carry on playing Wanderers while building up my Idoneth forces. Hopefully, the next GHB will confirm Idoneth as Allies to Wanderers, so I can start fielding them sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Hobo Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hello all! I'm interested in starting a small force of Idoneth and i'd really like to hear your opinion how a 1000 point army of Akhelian King combined with eels and sharks would work. I'm thinking of adding a Loremaster as an ally casting Hand of Glory to the King, because that's a lot of re-rollable dakka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far eels are considered better then sharks, so you may want to go full eels instead. Make sure you also get a soulscryer. A loremaster is a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martainn Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi guys, i had thoughs of a list that includes mostly eels and sharks. The Fue'than enclave gives rerolls 1 to wounds for the attacks of mounts. Now it doesnt specify what is considered a mount. obviously the deepmare of Volturnos / kings. The eels are definetly mounts. The sharks in my opinion too but it gets more tricky here because the unit is called after the sharks and not the riders. And then by that same logic does the leviadon counts as a mount? the unit is called after the turtle, but he has riders on his back which should make him a mount. what are your thoughts on this? So recap: Who are mounts?, i think Deepmares, Eels, Sharks, (but im not sure about it but if using the same logic for the shark the turtle should count as mount too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infeston Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Because of the info about the new AoS edition, especially about shooting out of combat, do you think the allopexes will be more viable after the changes or still be unusable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cape is fantastic, as is the trident. Next to them the helmet crest looks dull and lacks depth. Just want to provide some constructive feedback, it is really well done otherwise.

Had arguments on facebook with people planning to field 30 icon bearers in a unit. Yeah I saw plenty of that too. I'm curious if any of those people actually went to the effort of doing the conversion work in the end, or if it was all bluster. I do wonder what happened behind-the-scenes on this one, as it seemed like a real unnecessary own-goal on GW's part. Why word it like that, when people would obviously run with it? Why combine standard bearer and champion in the first place? And the actual kit is weird too, IMO - you get two near-identical standards in there, for no reason I can fathom, and it just sticks awkwardly on top of the model, with no special parts for the Icon Bearer at all - I can't think of any other kit where the command model/s are so low-effort. Don't understand what their thought process was all round but at least it's been FAQ'd quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
