Just getting started in Idoneth. I am wondering what would be a stronger tournament build, the Alpha Strike eel list or Thralls and Reavers with character support?

I think most people will probably tell you that eel spam is going to be more competitive.  I wish I could give a good counter point but it's kinda hard to.  One list I would like to try out is several units of 20 Thralls backed up by Reavers.  Once the Thralls get into combat, the Reavers just sit behind them and fire into the melee with 30 or more shots. Seems like the Reavers could help chew through units pretty quickly without themselves getting into trouble. 

Eidolon of Mathlann, Aspect of the Storm
- General
- Command Trait : Unstoppable Fury
Isharann Tidecaster
- Artefact : Coral Ring
- Lore of the Deeps : Tide of Fear
Isharann Soulrender
Isharann Soulrender 
UNITS
20 x Namarti Thralls
20 x Namarti Thralls
20 x Namarti Thralls 
10 x Namarti Reavers
10 x Namarti Reavers
10 x Namarti Reavers

Comes out to 1960pts so you could add an Endless spell in there or something.

I'm hoping that as AoS 2.0 matures, there will be a good reason for a mix of both in a competitive list.  I'm going to keep using my 20-30 Thralls though because I've spent a lot of time painting them.

This is a pretty good post, I just have a few counterpoints. 

For starters, I only own/have used the AoSea, I just think it’s much better. The combo of spell ability and decent combat ability is very good. I usually debate whether it’s a good idea to use this guy vs two spellcasters and a morsarr unit, it isn’t a clear choice either way. 

I think the AoStorm is a bit better than given credit for. It is very reliable rending (which otherwise we don’t have). Can totally crush 6 wound heroes and can get to them quickly with speed and flight. I wouldn’t necessarily send him in to fight a 40 skeleton block, but it can do work if you think about positioning.

My only issue with the Aspect of the Sea is that magic isn't a sure thing.  The spells are super nice IF they go off and IF they aren't unbound.  I can't help but think that we're going to see a lot of Knight Incantors being added to order armies.

Really wish I could play in this but I'm just getting back into the game with Deepkin.  There's no way I'll be able to get that much painted in a month. Count me in for next year though.
