The new boys on the block! The Idoneth Deepkin are a new faction which sees GW re-envision elves to fit in the Age of Sigmar setting. Tragically lacking souls (so they've come to steal yours), the Idoneth are an army that rewards careful placement of models, a variety of units that provide rapid mobility and negative modifier shenanigans and some of the best allegiance abilities in the game.
Why play Idoneth Deepkin?
- They are Soul-Hunting Pirates riding Sea Monsters.
- Because you want to play with Dark Eldar in a fantasy setting.
- They are Soul-Hunting Pirates riding Sea Monsters.
- Because you want to copy 40K's system of character protection.

- Because you love sea life!
- They are Soul-Hunting Pirates riding Sea Monsters.
- Because you love an army built around speed, speed and MOAR SPEED!

- Because an all-cavalry army appeals to you.
- They are Soul-Hunting Pirates riding Sea Monsters.
- Because you wanted more Dark Souls in your Age of Sigmar.
- They are Soul-Hunting Pirates riding Sea Monsters.
- Because Teclis wasn't a big enough dick already.
- Did I mention they are Soul-Hunting Pirates riding Sea Monsters?
Allegiance Abilities
Battle Traits
- Forgotten Nightmares: Enemy units can only target your closest unit with Missile Weapons. Keeps your Heroes safe from shooting, though not from magic. Also note that you can use allies to shield your Deepkin with this.
- Tides of Death: Each round, you get a different ability. After the fourth, it cycles back to 1.
- Low Tide: Your units count as being in cover. Helps you advance without making you scramble to terrain.
- Flood Tide: After running, your units can either shoot or charge (but not both).
- High Tide: Units with this trait fight before everyone else in melee. Also, there's a bunch of abilities that activate during this turn.
- Ebb Tide: After falling back, your units can either shoot or charge (but not both).
- The Ethersea: You get to place up to two Etheric Vortex terrain pieces. Currently, the only existing Etheric Vortex terrain piece is the Gloomtide Shipwreck, which you can either split into two or buy and place two full ships of. The shipwrecks give your units a 6+ Save-after-the-save and have a chance to deal damage to enemies, so they are fairly useful, though less so in a pure Akhelian army.
Command Traits
- Merciless Raider: Can reroll run and charge rolls. Interesting for Steed of Tides shenanigans.
- Hunter of Souls: Reroll 1s To Wound. Shame this doesn't work on a mount's attacks, but still nice.
- Unstoppable Fury: During High Tide, your General adds +2 to his attacks. Again, shame this doesn't work on mounts, but it still makes an Akhelian King terrifying.
- Born From Agony: Your general has 2 more Wounds. Always nice to shrug off an additional Arcane Bolt.
- Nightmare Legacy: Enemy units within 12" take -1 Bravery. Not a strong effect, but in a fairly large bubble, so it evens out.
- Lord of Storm and Sea: +2 Bravery for Idoneth Deepkin units wholly within 12". Since your units aren't exactly blessed with great Bravery, this is pretty nice.
Akhelian Artefacts
Can be given to an Akhelian Hero (so only the Akhelian King, because Volturnos can't get one):
- Sanguine Pearl: Gives a 5+ save after the save in melee
- Potion of Hateful Frenzy: Once per game active in the hero phase to get + 1 to hit and +1 to wound for a round. Then they take 1 mortal wound in the following hero phase. Your personal super sayajin mode. Combine with Unstoppable Fury to make your King utterly terrifying for one turn. And don't forget to draw your Falchion to make the most out of it.
- Ankusha Spur: +3" to movement and rerolls 1s to hit for attacks from the mount. Command Traits and Artifacts don't affect Mounts unless stated making this somewhat useful.
- Armour of the Cythai: Enemy gets -1 to hit if they target the bearer in melee. You're probably better off with the pearl.
- Bioshock Shell: Once per battle at the start of the combat phase you can inflict D3 mortal wounds on each enemy unit within 3". You have so few ways of dealing Mortal Wounds that this is interesting. That said, is it really worth running this on a 240 point King?
- Abyssal Blade: You can improve the rend characteristic of 1 weapon carried by the bearer. Also increase the damage of that weapon by 1 if targetting SLAANESH. Too situational, but interesting.
Idoneth Artefacts
Can be given to any Idoneth Deepkin Hero:
- Rune of the Surging Tide: Use at the start of hero phase once per battle. It has 2 modes: adds 1" movement to all friendly deepkin or takes 1" from all enemies until your next hero phase. Neither a big buff nor a big debuff.
- Black Pearl: It is the fastest ship with Johnny Depp usually as the captain. Oops, wrong universe. I mean it gives a 6+ save after the save.
- Lliandra's Last Lament: Once per battle you can have all friendly deepkin completely within 18" skip their battleshock test. Very interesting, especially when running a big unit of Allopexes.
- Terrornight Venom: Pick a weapon. You can reroll wound rolls of 1 for that weapon. Also gives a permanent -1 to bravery to things wounded by that weapon. Not many weapons worth using it on.
- Cloud of Midnight: Once per battle at the start of any phase the bearer cannot be targetted for attacks, spells or abilities for that phase. They also cannot use attacks, spells or abilities that phase either. It could pair great with Forgotten Nightmares against a shooty heavy army.
- Whorlshell: Once per battle at the start of your hero phase you can pick an enemy HERO within 9" and roll 2d6. If you beat their bravery they get -1 to all hit rolls for the rest of the game. Since most Heroes you'd want to do that to have high Bravery... just take Brain Barnacles instead.
Isharann Artefacts
Can be given to any Isharann Hero:
- Steelshell Pearl: Gives a 5+ save after the save against missile weapons. Interesting if you want a cheap sacrifice to soak up fire thanks to Forgotten Nightmares, but other than that, it's useless precisely because of Forgotten Nightmares.
- Mind Flare: Once per battle at the start of combat pick an enemy unit within 3". They get -1 to hit for that phase. Meh.
- Dritchleech: All Wizards except Idoneth Deepkin get -1 to casts while within 18". Interesting, but remember that this will affect allied Wizards as well.
- Auric Lantern: At the start of your shooting phase pick an enemy within 18" in cover. They dont get cover until your next shooting phase. Not too great, since your shooting isn't exactly stellar.
- Disharmony Stones: Once per battle at the start of your hero phase you pick up to 2 enemy heroes within 12" and then the opposing player must make a choice. 1) they roll a dice for each hero picked on a 3+ they take a mortal wound. 2) They roll a dice for each hero picked and on a 5+ they take d3 mortal wounds. 3) Each hero picked takes d3 mortal wounds. Then roll a dice, on a 4+ the bearer of this artifact takes d3. Be very careful with these, as they might end up doing nothing or doing something and hurting you as well. Also worthless against armies without many Heroes.
- Brain Barnacles: Once per battle at the start of your hero phase pick an enemy hero within 12" and roll 2d6. If the roll is equal or greater than the distance between them then that Hero gets -1 to hit and spell cast for the rest of the game.
Arcane Artefacts
Can be given to any Idoneth Deepkin Hero who's also a Wizard, so Tidecaster and Aspect of the Sea only:
- Arcane Pearl: Gives a 5+ save after the save against mortal wounds. Combines nicely with both the Aspect of the Sea's inherent toughness and the Tidecaster's Spirit Guardians.
- Sands of Infinity: Once per battle you can make a spell last for 2 rounds instead of one. You must use this before the cast and unbind roll. Very nice.
- Coral Ring: Gives 1 reroll for casting and 1 reroll for unbinding for the game. More reliability is never a bad thing.
- Bauble of Buoyancy: Gives fly and doubles their run roll. Just in case you want a Tidecaster to keep up with an Akhelian army.
- Kraken Tooth: Once per battle in your shooting phase pick an enemy unit within 12" and visible. Roll a dice and: 1: bearer suffers d3 mortal wounds, 2-5: enemy suffers D3 mortal wounds, 6: Pick 1 enemy model in the unit. If the wound characteristic is less than 10 they are slain. If it is 10+ they take 2d6 mortal wounds. The kraken does not mess around.
- Augury Shells: Once per battle at the start of the hero phase you can roll 2d6. You can choose to use that result for your casting roll or your enemies unbinding roll on spells cast by the bearer during that phase. You must choose to substitute the roll before rolling for the spell/unbind. Very nice. A terrible roll you can give to the opponent and a good one you keep to yourself. Again, more reliability.
Lore of the Deep
- Steed of Tides: Casting Value 5. Pick a friendly hero that is not a monster within 6". Remove them from the table and set them up within 24" of their original spot and outside of 9" of enemies. This counts as their movement in the movement phase
- Abyssal Darkness: Casting Value 5. Friendly deepkin are treated as being within cover while wholly within 9" of the caster until your next hero phase. Entirely worthless on your first turn and worthless on any other turn if you have a Leviadon. That said, if you go heavy on Namarti and don't use a Leviadon, fairly good.
- Vorpal Maelstrom: Casting Value 6. Pick a spot within 18" of the caster that they can see. Roll for each enemy unit within 3" of that spot, if the dice is less than or equal to the number of models in that unit they take d3 mortal wounds.
- Pressure of the Deeps: Casting Value 7. Pick an enemy they can see within 12" and roll a dice. If you beat their wound stat they are slain. Interestingly you pick a model with this, not a unit. So just point at that icon bearer in the Pink Horror unit to seriously piss your opponent off.
- Tide of Fear: Casting Value 6. Pick an enemy the caster can see within 12". Until your next hero phase that unit gets -1 to hit and to bravery. Nice, but remember that your Aspect of the Sea can do that to D6 units. Better yet, combine the two to make sure one enemy unit in particular is utterly screwed.
- Arcane Corrasion: Casting Value 6. This auto targets the closest enemy. Measure the distance between the caster and that unit. If the distance is: 12" or less: 1 mortal wound. 13-24": 2 mortal wounds. 25-36": 3 mortal wounds. 37-48" 4 mortal wounds. Such a weird spell. Interesting in that it is a damage spell that can be used turn 1, as most damage spells have too short a range for that to work, but Arcane Corrasion can't just be used turn 1, it's practically guaranteed to do quite a bit of damage then.
Isharann Rituals
Deepkin can cast 1 ritual a turn. At the start of your hero phase you declare which ritual you wish to cast, pick an ISHARANN HERO that is more than 9" away from an enemy and roll 2d6. On a 10+ the ritual succeeds and if not then nothing happens. You get +1 if the caster is within 1" of a Gloomtide Shipwreck, +1 if the caster is a PRIEST (i.e. a Soulscryer), +1 for each non priest Isharann heroes within 3", and +2 for each priest Ishaaran hero within 3". This is not a spell and cannot be unbound. They have no range, they simply affect the game
The 3 Rituals are:
- Ritual of Erosion: Until your next hero phase your enemy does not get a cover bonus. Your go-to if you don't have an Eidolon around. No cover does horrible things to bulwark armies like Eternal Guard-Wanderers and Freeguild.
- Ritual of Rousing: Heal 1 Wound on each EIDOLON and they can reroll all failed hit and casting rolls until your next hero phase. In case you didn't realize, this is horrifying on an Aspect of the Sea with his two spells per turn.
- Ritual of Tempest: Until your next hero phase enemy models cannot fly. Unless the table is littered with terrain, this really only helps against Kharadron and Nighthaunts.
Warscrolls
Named Characters
- Volturnos, High King of the Deep: An Akhelian King +1. For a measly 40 points more, Volturnos gets another swing with his weapons and far better buffs, such as the reroll-aura being extended to 18" and all Deepkin within that bubble also getting +1 to Bravery. But the real kicker is his shield: Whenever he's affected by any spell, you can choose to roll a D6 and on a 3+ that spell doesn't affect him (but works normally on everything else). Not only does that keep him relatively safe from enemy debuffs and damage spells, it also means you can drop Vorpal Maelstrom on top of him when he's surrounded by enemies.
- Lotann, Warden of the Soulledgers: Aka Octobro. With a fairly standard Hero statline but slightly above-average damage output thanks to the Ochtar, he's not too shabby on his own. Especially his 5+ Save-after-the-save is appreciated since he can't take Artefacts. But what you really take him for is his buff, giving Deepkin in general +1 Bravery and Namarti in particular the ability to reroll 1s To Hit in a massive 12" bubble. That said, if you play mostly Akhelians, then the Akhelian King does the buffing better.
Heroes
- Akhelian King: As mentioned above, the generic Akhelian King pales in comparison to Volturnos, but that doesn't mean he's bad. He's worse at everything, but can take Traits and Artefacts, which can combine to make him either tougher or killier or supportier than Volturnos, though never all three (there is also nothing stopping you from taking one alongside Volturnos if you really want to). Whatever you pick, the Akhelian King is always a fast, reasonably tough and extremely killy Hero who provides good support to your Akhelians. His main weapon is either a Greatsword or a Bladed Polearm; the later is better provided you can keep charging: 2", -2 Rend, and trades one attack for dishing out 3 damage instead D3 when he charges. If you can't reliably charge each time, the Sword and Spear actually mathhammer out to very similar damage (we are talking fractions here). One other thing he has over Volty is that you can stow the Shield and Draw the Falchion. This lowers his Save to a 4+, but gives you 3, 3+/4+/-/1 Attacks when when you really want to make sure something is dead.
- Isharann Tidecaster: A fairly survivable support caster with access to a number of very interesting spells. All in all, you only pick the lass for two reasons: One, you want a Wizard but have enough points for an Aspect of the Sea. Two, you take her as your general, because she can reverse Tides of Death. Combined with the Fuethán turning Ebb Tide into Flow Tide, this will give you a very fast, very aggressive army.
- Isharann Soulscryer: Count von Count here is a support character through and through. Fragile, with only milquetoast attacks, but blessed with a combo of bonus effects in that he can outflank along with 2 other Deepkin units and on top of that the ability to add 3 to Deepkin charge rolls so long as they charge the one unit he points at. Also allows for some targetting shenanigans with Forgotten Nightmares, as you can force your opponent's backfield fire support to shoot your nigh-invulnerable Ishlaen Guard.
- Isharann Soulrender: The Soulrender wants to be a hybrid Hero killer/buffer. The latter role he pulls off remarkably well, reviving D3 plus however many models his Hook killed that turn Namarti models at the end of your battleshock phase. The former role... eh. His two hook attacks are fairly decent, with a rule that makes it better against Heroes, but it will take some prior damage for him to take down any Hero with 2 damage 2 attacks, even with the fish pitching in.
Troops
- Namarti Thralls: Unconditional Battleline. Namarti Thralls are the quintessential aelven infantry: Extremely fragile and insanely killy. Seriously. Wildwood Rangers wish they were this scary. They attack with the standard elite infantry profile of 2 attacks 3+/3+/-1/1, but with the bonus of adding another attack against 1 Wound models and adding 1 to the damage against models with 4 or more Wounds. However, they also run around with 1 Wound, a 5+ Save and a paltry Bravery of 6. They also have Icon Bearers, who let them reroll battleshock. Updated FAQ states that you can have 1 Icon bearer per every 10 models.
- Namarti Reavers: Battleline with an Isharann Hero as general. Namarti Reavers are fast (8" and rerolls run) and equipped with really weird bows. At 18", they get one shot at 4+/4+/-/1, which isn't exactly stellar. At 9", they instead get three shots at the same profile. Still not incredible, but that sure is a lot of shots. And if they get into melee? Each of them has a Sword-Liberator's worth of attack. So these are Archers that are only effective at extremely short ranges. Think of them as less versatile but more killy Shadow Warriors and you're not far off.
- Akhelian Ishlaen Guard: Battleline with an Akhelian Hero as general. Defendy cavalry. Huh. Ishlaen Guard are fast and have decent damage output, but their true strength lies in their shields. They ignore Rend and gain +1 to their saves when they charge, which they will, since they move 14" and reroll charges thanks to their musician. So the opponent has to throw Mortal Wounds at them just to reliably get past their saves and even then each of the buggers has 4 Wounds.
- Akhelian Morrsarr Guard: Battleline with an Akhelian Hero as general. Same basic profile as the Ishlaen, but with 1 less attack on the weapons and no ability to ignore Rend. This seems lacking, especially considering they cost twenty points more. But then you notice that their spears gain Damage 2 and -2 Rend on the charge and that they can, once per game, drop 0.83 Mortal Wounds per rider on whatever pisses you off and you realize that they are wallbreakers instead of walls. That said, just because they're missing the defensive abilities of the Ishlaen, that doesn't mean they're frail, as they still rock 4 Wounds with a 4+ Save.
- Akhelian Allopex: Chariots in all but name. Each has two riders, one who swings a spear and one of which mans a harpoon with either 3 Damage 1 shots or 1 Damage 3 shot. The shark itself has a bunch of scary attacks and 8 Wounds at a 4+ Save, so they are tough, fast and bring the pain. That said, don't trust the harpoon to do much damage, as it's mainly there to trigger their ability: If they charge while within 12" of a model with wounds allocated to it (like that Blightking you just hit with a harpoon), they reroll charges. Very nice with a Soulscryer. Finally, they can be taken in units of up to 4, which is very risky but with potentially huge payoff. Risky because they have Bravery 6, so you run the very real risk of losing 140 point Sharks to battleshock, however, in exchange, units of them make for an incredible target for the Akhelian King's Command. It'd be wasted on a single Allopex, but on a unit of three or four? Oh dear. Just make sure you use Inspiring Presence on them until High Tide rolls around.
Behemoths
- Akhelian Leviadon: Very scary in several ways. Not only is it very strong in melee, it also spreads a 12" range bubble of cover around. Great, you might say, 3+ Save and guaranteed cover. But nope, remember, Monsters don't benefit from cover in Matched. Still amazing. 16 Wounds at a 3+ Save that spread cover to the rest of your army. It has 2 Volley guns as opposed to the Allopex's 1, but unfortunately multiple weapons doesn't give more shots, so only 6 shots at 24 isn't anything to sneeze at either.
Eidolon of Mathlaan
- Aspect of the Storm: The melee version is effectively a one-trick pony. He charges really really well and can charge after falling back, so he reaps his charge bonuses every turn. Among those charge bonuses is the fact that he heals D3 wounds when he does, which means that he will never ever die, between the regen, the 12 Wounds at a 3+ Save, the potential save-after-the-save from an artefact and the ability to walk out of inopportune fights. His damage output is merely okay for such an expensive model, though, so you need to get some Namarti or Akhelian Guard into his reroll 1s To Wound bubble in order for him to make his points back.
- Aspect of the Sea: The caster version is very powerful. Not only is he not too helpless in melee and armed with a shooting attack just in case, he also casts twice a turn and gets two unique spells, so he's very much not reliant on your lore spells. Especially his Tsunami of Terror spell, which debuffs D6 enemy units with -1 To Hit and to Bravery. That's a massive load, since he messes with both battleshock and enemy damage output. Also, he can reroll a casting roll per turn, but if he does not, he heals D3 Wounds, which is an interesting risk/reward mechanic. However, being the calmer of the two, he does not have the same reroll 1s To Wound aura. Instead he gives friendly units +3(!) to Bravery. This is pretty damn good, actually. All in all, he is probably better support for your army and neither of them are great damage dealers, so he's better all around.
Battalions
From Battletome Idoneth Deepkin
- Royal Council: (580pt. min.)
- Akhelian Corps: (900pt. min.)
- Namarti Corps: (760pt. min.)
- Alliance of Wood and Sea: (1520pt. min.)
Super-Battalions
From Battletome Idoneth Deepkin
- Phalanx: (4020pt. min.)
The Enclaves
They are akin to the Sylvaneth Wargroves. Each has unique special rules for your army and allows you to upgrade one of your Warscroll Battalions
- Ionrach: +1 to cast and unbind rolls for your Wizards, which, as you know, is invaluable. However, your Warlord Trait is locked into the Ionrach-exclusive Emissary of the Deep Places, which provides your allies access to the Tides of Death rules. Great if you have allies, worthless if you don't. Also your Royal Council can have up to 2 Soulscryers and Tidecasters.
- Dhom-Hain: Akhelians and Namarti reroll 1s To Hit on the charge. Relatively meaningless as Lotann and the Akhelian King respectively do the same whether you charged or not, but nice if you find yourself outside the relevant bubbles. Your Akhelians also reroll Wound rolls against Monsters. Interesting against some armies, worthless against others. Also your Akhelian Corps can have up to 6 units of Akhelian Guard. Dhom-hain is notable as one of the Enclaves that have no restrictions whatsoever.
- Fuethán: You reroll 1s To Wound with your mounts. Also, during Flood Tide all your units reroll 1s To Hit and Ebb Tide turns into another Flood Tide. You'll really miss that fall back + charge on turn 4, but in exchange, a Tidecaster can make you super fast by giving you Flood Tide on turn 1 and High Tide on turn 2. Also, your Phalanx can contain up to 6 Akhelian Corps. Not that you will ever use a Phalanx.
- Mor'Phann: Your Soulrenders raise an additional 3 models. This is huge and out-Death's Death armies. However, your Wizards can't take Lore spells and instead get Freezing Mists, which drastically lowers an enemy unit's Pile In move. Also, your Namarti Corps can have 6 units of Thralls.
- Nautilar: Your units reroll all failed Hit rolls if they were charged that turn. Not that your opponent needed more discouragement from charging your Namarti. Their casters lose access to lore spells and instead get Protective Barrier, which targets a friendly unit and lower the Rend of any enemy attacking them, so it's effectively a worse Mystic Shield. Still interesting, though, because it can stack with Mystic Shield. Also your Akhelian Corps can have up to 2 Leviadons.
- Briomdar: Your Soulscryers can take up to 3 units along and place them 18" away instead of 12. Also, your units can move over terrain (but not enemy units) as if they were flying. Not too great since most of your army already flies. Also your Namarti Corps can take up to 6 units of Reavers. Again, it is notable that the Briomdar have no restrictions to their name.
Allies
- Darkling Covens: Eldritch Council and your Reavers do what they do better, but Word of Pain from a Sorceress does help with -1 to Hit spam in a mage heavy list.
- Daughters of Khaine: The best option by a long shot. What they bring are cheap and expendable units of 80 points per 5 Harpies that can Deep Strike in, and help block shots for the rest of your army via Forgotten Nightmares. 2 Units of Javelin Harpies, or one unit of Sword Harpies is pretty likely to one shot a 5 wound hero to boot. Doomfire Warlocks are also solid allies for a Cavlary army and easily able to keep up as well as providing good shooting and a source of mortal Wounds.
- Eldrich Council: Loremaster dropping Hand of glory on a King, or Storm Eidolon can do nasty things to the enemy. Archmage on Horse can keep up with the army and protect you from Mortal Wounds. Archmage on Dragon is always nice to have plus Dispel Magic is a very useful spell to have access too. Just remember that Loremasters and Archmages are susceptible to being sniped out.
- Order Serpentis: More expendable cavalry to soak up fire for your Akhelians could be nice. Or, you know, just add a Dragon or Hydra and go Ionrach so it profits from Tides of Death.
- Scourge Privateers: Other than being great thematically, these aren't all too useful. On the flip side, Idoneth Deepkin make amazing allies for the Privateers.
- Shadowblades: An allied Assassin could be interesting but really, Daughters of Khaine do everything they do but better.
- Stormcast Eternals: For a Namarti-heavy army, Liberators make fantastic cannon fodder when combined with a Lord-Castellant and Forgotten Nightmares. Other than that, Vanguard-Raptors make for some nice budget shooting. Fulminators are a nasty addition to any Cavalry heavy army, and combined with Tides of Death, will get your opponent to flip the table fast.
- Sylvaneth: The only things worth considering here are Kurnoth Hunters for some additional shooting and Tree Revenants in case you want to go Warmachine hunting without investing hundreds of points into a Soulscryer and an escort.
- Wanderers: Fitting a unit of 20 Glade Guard in your army provides you with a highly reliable "remove lynchpin" button. Combining them with the Deepkin is going to make people even more angry than usual, though. Sisters of the Thorn are an awesome addition to Cavalry army and provide a very nice spell to boot.
