yea, truth be told I love this army with all of it's themes and sea life, but there is not much to say after discussing an eel list again for the 54th page. Even then, the way I see it everyone is waiting for the GH to change points around, and even then that one list we have may be lost so who knows? Honestly I want more fluff and stories from the Idoneth perspective from BL. keeping the discussions going though, what does eveyone think of our chances versus slaannesh?

I am really curious to see how they do the idoneth warband. Also, I kinda want to know how the game is actually played after all this hype!

Honestly I would have to see. Could be a fun way of making chaos dwarfs or orc conversions usable, but would have to see.

Honestly I think GW could curtail this kind of cycle by just releasing specialized units. Bretonnia heavy Calvary for free people, and re release the constructs for death mages. Honestly that would stop so much of this constant talk of wanting tomb kings back, just give us some throwback units and call it a day. i would love to purchase either side, but I think this kind of stuff may be unhealthy? Maybe some conversions for death rattle could fix this?

Man, admech transports, something I been wanting for years, AND an awesome warcry band!? Games workshop I already sold one kidney, I need the second one. The only thing I don't like is the gimp masks on the scrawny Bois for the warcry band. It's just too wierd for me to be honest. Easily fixed probably.

isn't there some 3rd party bits for tomb kings or bretonians for modern kits?

You know, I always thought it would have been a slaaneshi army that would have ended up with the Horn-y rumor engine...

I just want them back to stop people from constantly wanting them back and flooding threads with it... I get it, I really do, as I would have picked up bretonnia if they were in AoS now. in fact I started a soulblight army because I wanted knights and those were the only normal knights they had left. But it's getting really bloody annoying now. it's been four years.

I really hope it is a new mortarch like Vlad, Harkon or Isabella. Someone very recognizable but not from an oop army. As much as I would like tomb kings back, I don't think it's going to happen yet despite the very Egyptian look of the temples. still, fingers crossed for Abhorash, the first blood knight, to return and lead the soulblight army to greatness!

Congratulations! Please take a complimentary pair of float wings at the nearest coral depot.

Maybe wait and see if kurnoth hunters are updated soon? They might be better or worse in a few weeks, who knows.

maybe I am just overthinking it then. anyways, thanks for the tips! now... how are people thinking of the new slaanesh stuff?

thanks for the videos! I was needing something like this for my armies on parade! how are you planning on the pour on such small bases, though?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/04/22/battletome-preview-hedonites-of-slaaneshgw-homepage-post-2/ so, what do you think of the preview today guys? There is at least one picture with some really badass terrain scattered around. Who needs mortals when you got that? 😉

The idoneth had a picture in the tome that has an octous / kraken in the background, and so far there are none in the book.

Did the first two look too khornish? The ironmongers sure, but the beast dudes looked pretty neutral to me. Maybe they can hunt to excess in the future or something? This release does look pretty good so far, and I'm excited to see the rules!

You cannot go wrong with the starter box. Get some thralls, a soul render for the thralls and some eels to add some punch when you're starting out. Adding a king as a general will make those eels battleline and you could add either more thralls or put as many sharks as you can in the list as you want, or buy a second box of thralls for battle line and a tide caster to have spells,

While I think you missed the 2 rend rather than 1 rend, I do agree with you. They just don't feel too good at 200 points, almost the same like Blood Knights from SoulBlight. The points you bring up would make them a bit more fair according to other players, being 180 which we could survive with any other point decresses, but really, they bring what Idoneth need in lists even if they can only do it once a game or with the rend and damage on the charge. I agree here on all fronts too. the morrsarr for me brings the hammer an all eel list really needs to be well rounded, and if they just become more expensive then we're going to be in a hard spot. the guy I was talking to brought up skyfires in DoT being super good too and needing a nerf, but I honestly didnt want to disagree that they are alike at all. At least DoT had other playstyles besides the big two we seem to have. I will say, though, that a shark could be good in a game. a few times I had it act as an anchor and killer back field support unit, but outside of that he just isn't as good as morrsarr.

so, I need to ask. with all these amazing conversions, are there any tips to make some chaos pirates?

True, but as a guy who wanted to play non focused morsarr akhelian lists since they were leaked I'm a bit saddened by it all the same. But, if sharks and turtles drop then I may be happy yet.

So I was chatting with an adept icon tourney judge from my area yesterday (podcaster and former top death player ) and he thinks morrsarr is going to go up to around 200 points for a squad of three in the next generals handbook What's your thoughts on that? It would make it a huge investment, sure, but would they still be worth it?

Considering how thralls and reavers are two separate boxes and the collecting box comes with thralls... yes you should start with them! 🙂 jokes aside the the only choice in that kit is the eel riders, which can be given either spear or shield and a change of helmet, both of which has their ups and downs. Large majority of players use spears, but there are games on YouTube where swords are used more and seem to be pretty good there. I wouldn't know personally, as my shieelds are there to die horribly and screen for my spears.

Thanks for the info, and the new hobby channel to watch! It inspired me to get some foam core and work on my own stuff to practice before the real thing!

Oh, Thank you! I watched the video with the sound on this time and I am really eager to try it out. What did you use to cut it out and how did you modify the size of each ship?

Then again a horse is not a man eating underwater snaek with the brain the size of a walnut or something. Honestly, horses are probably geniuses compared to eels, but i am not a marine biology major so I dunno. Also Finally I can post to this forum! Heavens above I couldn't do a darn thing!
