Hi. It's a while that I'm collecting and painting Deepkin but I've not played a lot of games yet and usually against Flesheater courts... so easy win.
I've more or less 1500 points of Idoneth + DOK allies but now I'm trying some new lists with the idea of building up 2000 pts of straight Deepkin.

I know that to be competitive the solution is eels, eels and some eels to add variety... but I'd like to try something different.

To more expert player I ask, what about this list? (I'm putting a shark because I'm buying stuff towards an akhelian corps).

Mor'phann (or Nautilar)
Realm: Ghur

1000/1000

Soulrender
General
Lord of storm and sea
Brain barnacles (or - if stipulation admits it - Rageblade)

Lotann

Tidecaster

10 Thralls
10 Thralls (or 1 x 20 Thralls)
10 Reavers
3 Ishlaen
1 Allopex

I'm too confident in the Soulrender utility?

Another idea is to Switch Lotann with a Soulscryer and deepstrike eels and reavers, or eels and shark if there is something big to kill fast.

Mor'phann can get really competitive. It is not often seen as it is an expensive (moneywise) choice to build and a lot of models to paint. People that want to paint so many models will most likely just play tzeentch.

With mor'phann I would go at least 2x 20 thralls. (if not 2x30)

Units of 10 get one shot to easy to put pts into regeneration.

Maybe even a second soulrender when on that road? They stack after all...

The reavers I would only add if you can add the namarti corps.
