Well that solves that then. I'm still trying to pour all this stuff into my head since I've been out of fantasy since early 8th and finally had an excuse to get back into it with an army that has caught my attention.

I'm guessing they'd stick a Tidecaster in it, maybe a Soulrender if they give us two heroes, but I'd bank on just one.

If GW gave us a SC box I'd assume it' be something like a unit of Namarti (likely Thralls), a character and an Allopex.

Looking at the FAQs I noticed we can safely say saving up command points to cash in with Volturnos is a definite option: I checked the core rules, General's Handbook and the Deepkin FAQs/Designer's Commentaries but couldn't find any references for command abilities and mounts, but I could have missed something.

Right now it feels like the problem the Deepkin face is largely wrapped up in their limited options for supporting Namarti, the need for some points adjustments on certain units (Allopex for example) and generally a need for some more unit synergy beyond taking a King and Eels. I see see some options for running Namarti more effectively, but the list basically involves running a large block of Namarti up the board supported by other units while you try to tank wounds on a large unit along the way.

Jumping into the deep end here, but it's thematic I suppose: I just got back into the fantasy side of Warhammer recently (coincidently just in time for my flgs to be running an escalation league) and after considering building a 7th ed Vampire Counts style army out of LoN I latched onto the Deepkin for two reasons: I like the models, and my flgs actually stocks them regularly. Now I know that the most competetive option is eels, but as I enjoy the Namarti more I've latched onto focusing on them as the main thrust of my army. As such I've started digging into trying to balance the weaknesses of the army. As such, let's try and get a list going of the problems facing a Namarti focused list: 1. Low Mobility 2. Poor Durability 3. Low Bravery 4. Poor Synergy Options So what can we do to mitigate these problems (spoilered for anyone who wants to just skip to the end and see what I'm looking at running and aren't as concerned with why)?
