Hi everybody,
I have been playing IDK now for a little while and with mixed results, I did OK in casual games but I played the first tournament yesterday and the results where kind of underwealming. The event had three different sized games so I tried three completely different lists, one pure infantery, one mixed and one pure cavelley.
In my opinion the IDK are good on average but they lack some highlights and spectacular synergies that other factions have. And one of their biggest weaknesses are mortal wounds - both in output and protection against it.
This is what I have bought, built and painted so far:
Akhelian King / Volturnos
Eidalon of Mathlann
Lotann Warden of the Soul Ledgers
1 Tidecaster
2 Soulrender
2 Soulscryer
30 Namarti Thralls
20 Namarti Reavers
9 Akhelian Guard
2 Akhelian Allopex
1 Akhelian Leviadon
2 Gloomtide Shipwrecks
I would really like to not get too eel heavy. I know they are what most people seem to concentrate on but I don't enjoy that model that much (especially the building and painting) and I would like to variety on the table. Consensus seems to be that the Leviadon and the Eidalon are not really worth their points so I might take only one or none of them in competetive situations although they are the two most spectacular models.
