Idoneth Deepkin – Warscrolls

Akhelian Kings are the war leaders of the Idoneth enclaves. Mounted atop fierce and intelligent Deepmares, these inspiring commanders fight at the forefront of every battle, urging their Phalanxes forward as they wield their blades with deadly skill.

Volturnos is the last of the Cythai, a warrior whose cunning and prowess are legendary. Riding to battle atop Uasall, Prince of Deepmares, the High King carves a path through the foe, inspiring the Idoneth to ever greater deeds.

Thrallmasters are cunning and sea-scarred Akhelians who lead the Namarti hosts into battle. Master duellists skilled with all manner of exotic weaponry, they scythe through their foes with contemptuous ease.

Channelling the unfathomable calm and foreboding immensity of the deepest waters, Ikons of the Sea surge into battle alongside their Idoneth kin, overwhelming the enemy with their unwavering focus and terrifying momentum. To witness such martial perfection is an inspiration to any Idoneth warrior.

Ikons of the Storm aim to embody the destructive force of a raging ocean. Wielding twin blades, they hurl themselves into battle, heedless of any personal danger as they carve their enemies apart. Foes are helpless in the face of the Ikon’s whirling maelstrom of steel, and those with a mind to flee are cut down before they can take a single step.

Unlike the rest of their Isharann kin, Soulrenders fight face to face with their foes, reaping spirit-matter with every swing of their scythe-like talúnhooks. In battle, they can channel their mystical powers to revive fallen Namarti.

Soulscryers work their strange magics to navigate the utter darkness of the deep places. Their eldritch senses allow them to guide other Idoneth along hidden paths in the realms’ oceans and rivers, so that they can strike the foe from unexpected angles.

Isharann Tidecasters are the Idoneth’s most potent frontline wizards, capable of directing the surging currents of the ethersea in order to alter the momentum of battle or to steal the very breath from their foes.

Lotann is the Warden of the Soul Ledgers, whose task it is to oversee the reaping of spirit-essences across the enclaves. A skilled arcanist in his own right, Lotann channels the gestalt memories of the Idoneth to empower his kin.

Mysterious and terrifying, the Oracle of the Abyss only rises from their lightless domain when the existence of the Deepkin is threatened. Wielding the crushing magic of the deepest ocean planes, Mathaela annihilates the Idoneth’s foes and stirs the very realmseas into violent motion.

True masters of the ethersea, Isharann Tidecasters can manipulate this eldritch ocean to protect their allies and destroy their foes. They bring the Searing Sea to the Charrwind Coast, ensuring it is they who control the ebb and flow of battle.

Many ruthless Akhelian Thrallmasters ply the coasts of the Everspring Swathe, seeking out the rich accumulations of souls that can be found there. Masters of guerrilla warfare, these swordmasters and their Namarti warriors use the environment to protect them against enemy attacks as they advance, before charging in to deliver a killing strike.

An Eidolon of Mathlann is a mystical conjuration that embodies a long-forgotten god. When summoned in its aspect of the sea, this entity can call upon the magic of the ocean to bolster allies or send enemies fleeing in terror.

In its aspect of the storm an Eidolon of Mathlann is the vengeance of the Idoneth made manifest, a living tempest that surges upwards before crashing upon the foe with tidal‑wave force.

Allopexes are vicious predators of the deep, known for their voracious appetites. As Akhelian bond-beasts, they are more dangerous still, boasting scythed fins and deadly back-mounted harpoon launchers. Even the bravest fear these finned menaces.

Ishlaen Guard channel the bioelectricity of Fangmora mounts into their galv-shields, manifesting this energy as a sparking field that turns aside enemy blows. Thanks to this protective aura, the Ishlaen are often assigned as the bodyguards of Akhelian Kings or other high-ranking Idoneth, seeking the closest threats and laying them low with sweeps of their helsabres.

Armed with voltspears and galv-shields, the Morrsarr Guard function as heavy shock cavalry, their fearsome weapons channelling the powerful electrical energy given off by the Fangmoras. This shockwave is loosed moments before the Morrsarr crash into the enemy, blasting the front ranks even as the Akhelians’ spears strike home.

Armed with silent‑firing whisperbows, Namarti Reavers are the fast‑moving scouts and archers of the Idoneth Deepkin Phalanxes. Despite their eerie and disturbing lack of eyes, they are uncannily accurate, using senses other than sight to pinpoint their targets.

The core infantry of the Idoneth Deepkin, Namarti Thralls advance into battle brandishing vast two-handed weapons known as lanmari. Despite their blindness and the heft of their blades, they whirl and chop with aelven grace.

Fast-moving scouts and archers, the eyeless Namarti Reavers are as uncannily accurate with their whisperbows upon the scorched earth of the Great Parch as they are beneath the waves.

Namarti Thralls have proved as skilled in waging strike-and-fade war amidst the jungles of Ghyran as they are in the kelp forests of their undersea home. Enhanced by the ethersea, their extrasensory powers allow them to isolate their prey, lashing out with their lanmari blades before retreating into the shadows under the cover of briny mists.

A monstrous undersea titan, the Leviadon is covered in thick scales and protected by an impenetrable shell. In addition to its powerful jaws and bladed fins, it carries a hard-bitten crew and twin harpoon launchers, making it a veritable living fortress.

When an Incarnate of the Deep senses a distant enemy, it conjures a serpentine tendril of frothing, icy water to hold them fast. Those caught in the choking embrace of this manifestation can do nothing but struggle helplessly as the life is slowly crushed from their body.

Conjured through elemental ritual and empowered by the spirits of the ocean, an Incarnate of the Deep is a ship-breaking tempest given physical form. Reaching out with serpent-like appendages, it seizes its prey and draws them inexorably in, drowning them within its turbulent mass.

A Gloomtide Shipwreck is a supernatural manifestation in the ethersea, a barnacle-encrusted ruin swarming with vicious deep-sea creatures that provides nearby Idoneth with cover from which to launch their attacks.

Kraken-eater Mega-Gargants are irascible old souls who have seen it all. They find just as much satisfaction in watching the sun rise while seated atop their favourite rock as they do in destroying a village, and they crave the relief that only the sea can provide – as well as the bounty that washes up on its shores. Bundo Whalebiter is a legend along Ghur’s Coast of Tusks. He is that rarest of things, a gargant known for both brain and brawn, and has been ever since an encounter with ocean-dwelling aelves near the Icefangs. While pursuing the aelves – for the sight of their sea creatures flying about out of the water irritated him to no end – Bundo was distracted by a Fangmora Eel to which a glowing lantern had been attached. The gargant throttled the creature and took the trinket, hanging it from his ear as a fetching accoutrement. The aetherquartz in the lantern worked its magics upon Bundo, heightening his intellect such that he can now converse with shocking clarity for a gargant. As a result, Bundo has won many mercenary contracts by arguing the value in having colossal aid to call upon.

The Conqueror Cogfort’s fire-spewing power and ability to transport a hold full of soldiers into battle makes it well suited for parties of raiders and pillagers. Rumours spread of these titans roaming the realms, their crews searching for plunder. Many of them are said to have fallen into the clutches of humanity’s foes.

When the need is great, a Vanari Lord Regent may lead a squadron of Dawnriders to aid the efforts of the Lumineth’s allies. Since the Reinvention, the aelves of Hysh have come to understand that no matter their people’s great power, the realms would have been entirely consumed by Chaos if not for the efforts of other civilisations. Therefore, when the hour is dire, they will ride out to tip the scales in Order’s favour.

Drekki Flynt is one of the most famous skyfarers in Kharadron society, a rogue and opportunist whose feats grow ever more outrageous in the telling. Captain of the Frigate the Aelsling, Flynt has lent the services of his vessel and his crew to many causes over the years – few of them entirely noble.

Queen of the Outcasts and bitter enemy of all who dare despoil the wilds, Drycha Hamadreth is the embodiment of nature’s cruelty. To ensure the annihilation of particularly dangerous foes, she will sometimes deign to ally with outsiders whose goals align with her own.

The soulpod grove in which Elthwin’s lamentiri was incubated was ransacked by ghouls and touched by maddening energies. Over time, the spirit-song that naturally envelops her fellow Sylvaneth has become torturously faint to Elthwin, and it is only the Arch-Revenant’s strength of will that has staved off insanity.

Renowned for defeating the plague daemon Gelgus Pust, thwarting his plans to befoul the life-giving waters of the Everspring and ultimately banishing evil from the Jade Abbey, these legendary heroes are welcomed with open arms into the forces of Order.

When a Khinerai Death Flight strikes from on high, the air is filled with lethal missiles and the shrieking battle-cries of Morathi’s airborne killers. These swift-moving aerial hunters are dispatched to track down the enemies of the Khainite cult, and they will pursue them deep into enemy territory if necessary.

The Changeling adopts one of its manifold masks to infiltrate the enemy ranks, spreading confusion and dismay whilst ensuring that the Change God’s schemes come to pass.
