Today we’re getting a peek at more Idoneth Deepkin from the upcoming White Dwarf, and what’s on the way release wise from Games Workshop in April.
First, we have Warhammer Community showcasing these pics from the new issue:
This image’s’file name was “Aspect of the storm”
More pictures were just spotted on TGA’s Sigmar Thread. Check out the latest on the Sea Elves!
Looks like there is a tragic backstory after all for these Sea-Elves. I am sure there will be much more on the way lore, and release wise for this new faction, soon!
Need more deepkin? Check out the previous images showing the Idoneth Deepkin in next month’s White Dwarf, the only downside is we aren’t sure exactly what the pages read exactly.
We’re getting a look at the new rules for Eidolon and he’s going to have a 12″ Move, 12 Wounds, 3+ Save, and 10 Bravery. His Spear of Repressed Fury is going to have a 2″ Range, 4 Attacks, 3+ To Hit, 2+ Wound, -2 Rend, and 2 Damage. His Crulhook has a 1″ Range, 4 Attacks, 2+ To Hit, 3+ To Wound, -1 Rend, and 1 Damage. The Stormshoal has a 3″ Range, 2D6 Attacks, with a 4+ To Hit/Wound, and does 1 Damage.
Of all these weapons it seems like Eidolon’s spear is going to be the most deadly with -2 Rend and 2 Damage, but we’re not 100% positive on what the abilities are, so there might be something that help the other two weapons, we’ll just have to wait and see.
These images are coming out shortly after we got our first look at the new army during the GW Studio Preview during Adepticon 2018 last week.
For Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans, talk in the Mortal Realms of late has been dominated by one question – just who, or what, are the Idoneth Deepkin? Well, wonder no longer!
Hidden for centuries beneath the oceans of the Mortal Realms, the Idoneth Deepkin have finally surfaced – a magnificent and terrifying race of soul-stealing reavers with mastery of the strange magics of the seas.
Colossal sea beasts. Living tidal waves. Predatory shoals of fish. Aelves riding sharks and giant turtles with bolt throwers. We’re in!
We also got a look at one fantastic looking mini that Miniwars claimed to be Eidolon from the White Dwarf preview. But, we can’t confirm that, so take it as you will.
Games Workshop verified it was Teclis narrating the video, and after the preview, and now we know what this model is and that it has two BIG forms!
The latest big reveal of the Idoneth Deepkin has us excited for the future of Age of Sigmar! Sea elves on a bike like fish and eel mounts, a giant turtle chariot model, and flying sharks, what more could you possibly ask for?
So it looks like we have the release lineup for the first half of April now:
- Drukhari pre-order March 31st with a release date of April 7th.
- Stormcast Fastriders and Khorne Magore’s Fiends pre-order April 7th with an initial release date of April 14th
- Idoneth Deepkin pre-order April 14th with an initial release date of April 21st (still unconfirmed from OP)
These next three releases are making April look like it’s going to be a busy month for fans everywhere whether you’re a Sigmar, 40k fan, or both. Make sure you’re checking back in with us for the latest updates leading up to all of these big release dates.
What do you think about the new Idoneth Deepkin? Are you planning on getting a sea turtle mount chariot of your own?
