    So, who does want Tomb Kings and Bretonnians back?

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    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.

    Today is the day I get my Start Collecting! Box. Going to build and paint it before I get more :) 

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

    I've definitely decided on going with the Morr'phan enclave, and I enjoy a more infantry based game so this suits me well. In fact, it sort of plays like Legions of Nagash, especially with the battalion, of constantly replenishing models who die. 

    I'm looking at black, dark violet, navy blue and golds for my color scheme as far as armor and equipment goes alonside silver for blades, etc. 

    For skin I hope to pull off a sort of nighthaunt paleness and ethereal spooky ghost glow. 

    I'm trying to wrack my brain for full on conversions whilst keeping the essence as I was inside by The Darkwood Coven or whatever thread in the painting & modeling and how that guy TRULY made his Sylvaneth his very own.

    I'm looking at the realm lore of Shyish for inspiration as well as the Morr'phan entries in the battletome alongside deep sea creatures in real life, thinking albino creatures or perhaps deep violet, black and other colors. I wonder if I could greenstuff anger fish or gulper eels or bioluminescence. I really want to go deep with this project as a passion project. 

    As for basing I found these videos. I think it may be relevant to water basing, and building haunted scenery. I may borrow some nighthaunt figures or cut pieces off or somehow integrate ghosts and souls into my army. I want, possibly, slightly blackish water or some sort of dark water. I believe that's what the ocean they come from is described as. I've been taking notes and trying to really hone down on a theme for my army so I can truly make it personal and rich with detail and flavor.

    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?

    Considering the first two look very Khorne then it bodes well for some really neat mortal followers if there's some Slaanesh in there :) Warcry indeed could change this around come summer! And its not that far off either - plus if Slaves get a big udpate there's loads of mortals in there. Heck things ilke chaos Cavalry is even really affordable as most of those sets have 10 models to a box not 5 (barring the elite which are very expensive for 3, but at least they are elites not core). 

    So yeah no new mortals but with a Slaves update you can easily draft in a load of chaos warriors and the like. 

    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!

    If I wanted to start this army in 10 days when I get paid where should I start? 

    I’m most attracted to the sharks, and I don’t really want to do the eel spam and my meta is more casual than not. 

    How do I start Idoneth Deepkin? 

    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,

    I really hope that be totally false since it would do morsar even bad. They are ok right now despite all the hate on them. Since even spaming them idoneths are around 4-6 th tournament wise.

     

    Morsars do 10.4 dmg IF they chargue. Around 8 if they dont chargue. People usually forget it and thinks they do his best always. But thing is at best they do 10.4 dmg with 1 rend. At worst 8 dmg without rend. So agerage would be around 9.2 dmg with 0.5 rend. For 160 points i think they arent so great when every elite standar unit do the typical 20 3+ 3+ -1 1 dmg atack for 140-160 points. So 9 -1 dmg average without any charge.

     

    So maths says morsar are perfect for 160. U could do a knee ****** reaction and raise it to 180 making his ability usable on every charge not only once. And of course coupled with huge disscounts on turtle. Avatars. Sharks and raise thralls weapons to 2" for god sake.

     

    But 200 points would make them totally useless. And waaaay worse than tank eels or even thralls ( that are allready subpar)

    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.

    It he one thing if we were taking different things before and the point changes shook out, and certain units were better then they were before. 

    But even if let's say sharks get 20 points cheaper. That doesn't help me fill the whole that morrsarr leave in my list. Because they already can't provide what Morrsarr provide. 

    Sharks have more in common with  thralls than Morrsarr. And we definitely need more deep sea creatures if monsters are going to be a tool in the box. Because, the turtle doesn't provide anything ishlaens don't. 

    600 points for 9 morrsarr as a hammer just isn't acceptable when the rest of the army provides d3 or less mortal wounds. 

    I'm deeply concerned about the viability of IDK at this point. Units are priced poorly, but the bigger unfixable issue is what these units actually do, relative to what the game demands.

    I'm going to rewatch heat one if it confirms my suspicions about the real affectiveness of morrsarr.

    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.

    Turtles,  eidolons, sharks and hopefully reavers drop points and people can start playing interesting lists that don't consist of 18-24 eels. 

    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?

    So I am dipping my toe into Deepkin and picked up the start collecting box. Have not picked up the Battle Tome yet. Am I right in assuming I should build Thralls as a start instead of Reavers?

    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.

    I used an x-acto blade to cut it out.  I actually ended up hand drawing my own template for the ship because his was so huge.  The design is so simple that it was an easy change to make.  I used my models as a guide to make sure it would hold a 6-man unit on 50mm bases as well as a 10-man unit on 25mm bases.

    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!

    @Acid_Nine The main building material is the posterboard that is foam coated in paper on either side.  After you've cut it into shape, peel the paper off and you've got a nice thin sheet of foam.  The detail is all done by etching patterns in with a ballpoint pen.  Also, in the tutorial, he uses white glue for everything, but I found that it was easier to glue it together with hot glue, but use white glue to coat the whole ship before painting.

    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?

    Well I personally wouldn't cut out a horse's eyes and then mentally break them. 

     

    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!

    You just attack the units in this one, the ships are basically just moving terrain.  Also, the ships are scratch-built from foamcore.  I used this tutorial (with a little modification for scaling) and it was really easy.

     

    I never did something like that so I don't know how easy it is! But I got till October to try at least! Thanks.

    what materials did you use? I am a bit lost on how to make the foam so detailed as well...

    Warcry is Killteam/Mordheim... ?

    A little sad that there will be no soulblight then, but I kinda already accepted that. The price of five blood knights alone would probably equal the starter set.

     

    i am itching for more info. It's been a week,  and I need more
