Do you think there is a down side to having more, like my 24 eel list? Other than being 5 drops instead of 4
I'm not a fan. Eels are actually more fragile than they look and its low bodies as is with Namarti.

Is there any good list that doesnt run 18 eels?
There is no good list that doesn't have 12+ eels. Got a few at 12-15-18 eels.

Tidecaster still pretty useful. Decent hero/spell caster for 100 points. -1 to hit and steed of tides spells give great flexibility.

I really like the Volturnos list quite a bit. Did you find that turn 3 high tide was too late? Also what was the purpose of the tidecaster in that list?
Yeah, turn 3 was too late. Really close game with Gavriel that was a win largely due to their misplay and loss to Nagash with no hope of really being able to threaten him.

Better part of valor is a dumb mission. Auto win on first turn for some armies.
The low drop is good but the list I posted can go as low as 5 drops. I’m not sure I see such great value in 4 drops vs 5, but I can appreciate that side of things
For the record, been playing Deepkin at tournaments for 5 months now.
Won Northern Masters with Tidecaster, scryer, scryer, incantor, 30 Thralls, 18 eels, 5 Heartrenders and comet.
Went 4-1 with Tidecaster, scryer, scryer, Volty, Eidolon, 3x6 eels.
Then recent 3-2 with James' list, though I had a few misplays and tough match ups rather than there being an issue with the list.
Your success will largely depend on local meta and your ability to play to the win condition of your chosen list.

I’ve been looking at James Tinsdale’s list recently, which placed pretty well at the most recent event he took it to. It is attached at the end of this post.
Three things I’m not sure I’m sold on (James if you’re reading this please convince me)
1) Namarti corps. Extra artifact great. Less drops love it. Basically only costs 50 points (although a tough sell with needing a fourth Namarti unit so maybe the real “cost” is closer to 190)
2) Soulrender over a second soulscryer. Is the regen on units that I presume are basically going to salute and die worth giving up eel deep strike flexibility (and potential +6 on charges if the stars align)?
3) Do we really need an extra command point? We get one first turn anyway and the eels can deep strike. Do eels evaporate so fast that we need 2 to stop battleshock before our second hero phase?
People who aren’t James feel free to wildly speculate or throw out educated opinions. I’m thinking about going more down the eel spam route for my competitive list (I desperately love the model so it’s great)
I’m thinking: (Fuethan)
Tidecaster (General, born from agony)
2 x Soulscryer (1 with cloud)
2 x 9 morrsar
6 morrsarr
3 x 10 thralls (or maybe 2 thralls 1 reaver)
2k on the dot
Would love to know why this isn’t better than James’ list (I assume he’s playtested and it’s not)
Played this list a whole bunch. It's really good. Less drops is great in some matchups.
Being able to decide first turn can give you a really big advantage in the mission. Having choice to go first in Better Part of valour for example. Choosing to go 2nd in relocation orb.
2nd artifact also makes the list better in places of arcane power and relocation orb where wizards or artifacts score/count as 20 models.
There are a few downsides though. There is definitely a tax in taking 2 units of Reavers.
Most of the armies we struggle with also have low drops and sometimes comes down to a roll off for priority. DoK can be 5 drops. FeC currently around 4/5 drops. SCE can build a low drop build as well.
Nagash tends to be around 6/7 drops, though they also have 5 drop options.
From talking to @Carrion King the idea for the low drop necessity came from a pack including better part of valour in it, where choice of going first in some matchups is huge. Generally, it might not be such a necessity for Deepkin to go first outside of that mission.

unfortunately les hasnt got very good results with said list - okay ones, but not very good. James tinsdale and myself always go 3 units of thralls minimum and constantly get top tens with it. The guy that won the scottish masters... had 3 thrall units.
To put it simply:
If you want consistent results with deepkin, your army needs both morssar and namarti. Everything else, im sorry, just isnt optimal (if thats the thing you care about)
Pretty much this. And it was me who won the Northern masters. Thralls are awesomesauce 😂
And I'm taking Les' list to a tournament in two weeks, because it's still a great list. Fancy a change up.

I understand what is being said. I just disagree. I would take more Thralls over ishlean currently. That's why I'm looking to got to 40 rather than 30 + 3 ishlean for the same points.
MSU Thralls are great right now.

3x10 Thralls is to fill the battleline requirements, but also to give numbers for objectives, to give more reliable damage in high tide (always has rend if not charging), deny space better than 3 ishlean and to be underestimated.
Plan to eventually go to 4x10 Thralls as they are absolutely amazing. Yes, I don't see a 5-0 Deepkin list without 15-18 eels, but I also don't see them without 30+ Thralls.
Not to say 18+ Eel spam +Volty lists aren't good, but they are overshadowed by the lists with 30+ Thralls.

Agree with all of this!!
Your list is just mine without the Megabrutes, no? I think that makes mine just more solid. What General/Trait/Artefact did you have planned?
Ye, my local house rules ban non hero generals and also no duplicate artifacts, so i would probably take ravager as the trait with talisman on the maw krusha. With no other good battle brew option, would likely take a meteoric hammer blade on a chanter. Often overlooked item, but can be good. Megabrutes with tyrant definitely better though.

If you check the screaming bell warscroll, you will see that one has “Mount” on it. So looks like the cauldrons are fine 👌
