Battleline: 10 Namarti Thralls

Scenery: 2 ghostships they are free so you know why not, i'm not planning to use the rituals but maybe i can place them so they encourage my opponent to leave there deployment zone, they are a little pricey irl but not overly so, cheaper than a box of infantry lately >_<

Tentative first draft, do you think this has enough numbers?
I am wondering if I should drop 3 eels and a shark for 2 more block of 10 thralls to bring both units to 20 and/or switch Angle'mar out for a Tidecaller to reinforce the magic phase a bit but the sea aspect looks pretty solid in that regard

The interesting thing that I'm noticing about Deepkin is that I think you can make a list work without sheer numbers. You've got your battleline and the support necessary to make it work, so it's just a matter of positioning everything where it's going to do the most damage. The Akhelian King, Eidolon, and Leviadon are fantastic beatsticks, and the Thralls are excellent as well.

Definitely use those Ghostships to help you with the objective. Placing them on objectives means that just by holding that objective, you'll have a 6+ fnp with your units, and the enemy will risk taking mortal wounds to get too close. Always take it, since it's free (points wise anyway)

Also, don't discount that the sharks and eels have more wounds than you'd think, and a better save than you'd think, too. Unless they're focused down, they should be able to stick around. The eels will be invaluable to make sure your Thralls get to close combat to do what they do best.
