NAmarti might make nifty alternatives to Dark Eldar Shade blokes who's name escapes me right now. Mandrakes. That's what I'm thinking of.

Precisley my thought. This is what I'm thinking of doing:

I should pitch this idea to the one interested in them at my local shop. I have no uses for those dumb masks on my DoK. The army about big flowy hair not having any? Never!

**Binabik15**

Oh snap those SoS heads look fantastic on those bodies. Good idea. On the flipside some Melusai with fins instead of skorpion tailends and some webbing under the arms could make some cool alternative eelriders by posing as (creepy) mermaids for those that dislike the eels.

The posing is really good on those thralls. I just hope they won't have crazy witch elves pricing, the pricing absolutely made me not get a small DoK army. Thinking about KO instead and those sharks could be nice captured skysharks or something and octopus accountant a dignitary representing a group of Free Cities traders.

Local store said the price for Namarthi is 40€ (cheaper than Witch Elves), Terrain is 32,5€, Lottan is 25€, the surfer dude 85€.

**Dryaktylus**

Lotann, Warden of the Soul Ledgers, on the other hand, is designed to appear regal and powerful

He doesn't look powerful at all. There's a huge censorship octopus behind him who shows him what he can write and what not. And if he writes something the octopus doesn't like, it will cut the scroll with it's knife and let the mace dance on his head. Poor guy.

**Chikout**

oops. Idoneth stuff looks great. Carry on.

So gw just released a pdf of the full rules for Shadespire with all the faqs incorporated (not just added to the end) for FREE on the warhammer underworlds website, which also contains a full card library, including the winning decks from many of the major tournaments.
That is pretty awesome. The support for this game has been great.

I think this is the wrong thread?

Is hard to justify those prices when 20 Kairic Acolytes are also 40€ and they aren't less detailed in any sense of the word or even a horde unit, they are actually quite expensive in points.

So $50USD for Namarti, shipwreck is $40, Lottan is $36, Eidolon is $110 going off the price bands.

Hrmh.

It's going to, IMO, depend upon how exactly the warscroll battalions are laid out. Kairic Acolytes have to be taken in large numbers in some of them and likely the box was 'designed' to be used alongside Silver Tower which has a few random bits.

**lord_blackfang**

Is the shipwreck part of the army? What is up with that?

**Knight**

It'll likely be some sort of synergy shenanigan generator for the deepkin. Similar to the Wyldwood for Sylvaneth.

As the Warhammer Community article states...

When the Idoneth Deepkin fight, they appear to be underwater even if they’re several miles inland. On a small scale, this can be seen by the shoals of fish that accompany many models, while on a larger one, the battlefield itself begins to warp and change. The Etheric Vortex: Gloomtide Shipwreck allows you to represent this on your tabletop. You can use yours to bolster the abilities of nearby Idoneth Deepkin or simply as thematic scatter terrain – perhaps you could combine yours with the treasure chests found in the Azyrite Ruins set to build some appropriately nautical scenarios for your Idoneth Deepkin…

Hm, the weapons on those infantry are too big for my taste. The swords I get because making them slimmed down could cause breakage issues in a practical sense, but the axes & sickle just seem overly huge to me.

I'm thinking the axes are meant to be 'great' weapons and the sickle is a special.

They're elves so I assume even basic infantry weapons are high quality but I'd say they are probably just good rather than great, I imagine the latter would be reserved for the higher castes.

So, how is those ones different from Pallid Wych Flesh?

Feels like many of the new paints are just very minor changes to existing ones.

Pallid Wych Flesh is the whitest flesh color, I reckon. Can't say for certain without a direct comparison of course, but these look like they'll fit in just fine between that and Flayed One Flesh. There's a large enough gap between the two.

I think GW tries to appeal to people who don't like to mix paints and provides many shades of the same color to that end. Works for me.

I certainly hope that much of the translucency is owed to the white background and the waves don't shine through like that normally...

If that's the case then I approve, because mixing paints is a PITA. Wasteful too, especially if you get the ratio wrong, so you have to keep adding more until you get the right color.

...and any chance of me buying any of these just disappeared (assuming this is correct).

Shame, these are the first Age of Sigmar models that I've liked.

**HorticulusDK**

Nice, the Namarti, the Eidolon and Lotann are each 5£ cheaper than I thought...

**Alexonian**

so 24£ from a webstore for my 10 new incubi? nice

I'll be using them for double duty as Incubi/Mandrakes. Either way, £30 for 10 really nice plastic models beats the hell out of £24 for 5 failcast.

**Iron_Captain**

I think I can live with these prices.

Chopstick wrote:So the thrall is a kit of 10 instead of the usual double 5 man kit?

The male Thralls have very dynamic pose, but the female look...bored.

Looks to me like it's laid out similar to the Tzaangor kit. Five different bodies with different arm configurations. Double sprues.

str00dles1 wrote:Pretty cool overall, but those dice...are so terrible. You see the other sides symbols through it . They peaked at the Thousands Sons blue and gold dice. Custodes were ok aswell. All other ones have been terrible

Looks like they'll be a pain to read if you're trying to play fast.

So I'm thinking I'll be picking an Eidolon kit to use as a C'Tan shard of the Deceiver.

Yep, they've come in under where daughters of khaine are priced at so I'm pleased with that.

**Ghaz**

Who are the Namarti? on Warhammer Community.

**Hulksmash**

Solid stats. Now to see their price, special rules, and synergies :0 though I'll probably grab 10-20 just to build and paint.

Well, they're our "generic" Battleline. Points wise we don't know, but they're $50 for 10. The guy with the Octopus allows for them to reroll Hit rolls of 1. They benefit from Forgotten Nightmares(can't be targeted unless they're the nearest visible unit) and they'll get to benefit from the Tides of Death rules.

**Eldarain**

I thought that was the must target the closest unit rule. Does it impose -1 too?

**Knight**

Out of the box they're a bit softer Swordmasters. With the faction synergy and special weapons they'll probably blow them out of the water far and wide.
