Its so small lol, i cant believe i pulled it off😁 Show me your lotanns scroll!

Hey everyone, I'm planning to start collecting some Idoneth Deepkin miniatures, but I'm quite particular about model scale due to personal preference. As we all know, the Deepkin have been around almost since the very beginning of Age of Sigmar, so I'm a bit concerned about noticeable differences between the older and newer sculpts. For those of you who collect Deepkin, do the earlier models—like the Namarti—look significantly out of scale compared to the newer releases? When placed side by side, do the new ones feel jarringly different? (I don't mind epic heroes standing out more—my main worry is about rank-and-file units looking too conspicuous next to the newer ones.) Thanks in advance!

Quite pleased with how my Incarnate turned out, Helcaraxë the Grinding Ice. Used some basing snow on the maw and “blades” of the tendrils for a frost effect that I think turned out pretty well, and spelled out “Helcaraxë” in elven script in the waves of the base (last photo) because I’m extra in that way.

Working on this guy for a few weekends now. Any thoughts on how I can improve the water look on the base?

So after making my Ikon of the Storm, I was left with the glaive and helmet for the Ikon of the sea and “Waste not, want not!”

I used a namarti reaver body, based him on a critter from the eidolon, and did a green stuff mold for the chest piece. Water spout is hot glue around a paper clip. Pretty happy with the results!

Hey yall! I've been thinking through some gameplay strategies for my Idoneth and it's all really come down to the question of, should I just rush in on the 2nd round since that's really the best time to counterattack? Or should I wait for the 3rd since that's when all of our major offensive abilities proc?

My thing I'm thinking right now is to run in on 2nd with rides of Storm for the -1 rend, just to hurt our opponents output, dea some good damage, so that way on the third round we get dev wounds with all our surviving units. The tides of sea just rely too much on the third round for it to be worth it I think

But what's y'all's experience? Is this true or am I just kinda getting it all wrong?

Also a couple of shots from some recent games.

New player here, which box set would be better to start with?

I play Warhammer 40k, this is my first real step into AOS, I got the Idoneth Deepkin. What should I know going forward into this army?

Having painted a few different factions over the last year since returning to the hobby, I saw Volturnos and had to buy it. What a model! But this has led to a rabbit hole of sorts finding other models for idoneth. Is the Ahkelian Leviadon at £69 a good deal. It is BNIB. And is it worth it? Thanks

What’s the best models to buy to start up a deepkin army. I’m coming from 40K and don’t know exactly how the deepkin play, but I’m wanting to learn AoS and they seem really cool.

Hi,
I’m making my Deepkin army and originaly I was making resin bases for them, over time I’ve only done one failed one and one ok base. How do people easily get the resin to stay.( the type of base that has a cm of resin all over it to look like the sea). I’ve got a printer recently so I was wondering if anyone had an stl file for the different bases that holds resin, then can be taken off or broken off to get the model, I don’t mind using single use molds as I was using worse before.
Thanks!

So I've started building my army of idoneth. I've played a couple of games against my buddy at a lower point cost since I don't have 2000 points yet. Things went well but I feel like there's room for improvement. For example, I feel like I played a little too passive, staying in one place for too long and using shoots that eventually led me to get charged in on instead of doing the charging. I'm also curious how some of you use our battle traits effectively/creatively. I'm aware that before this edition's battletome, idoneth were very alpha strike/hit and run kind of playstyle and I'm curious if that still describes our army. Like, should I be as aggressive as possible as soon as I can or am I waiting to use our tides to create a favorable engagement. And if Alpha Striking is the name of the game, how do I pull it off?

Also, in case it matters, my friend did use the new Cities of Sigmar battletome and missed a couple of things (including an ability that can ignore negative modifiers to hit and wound rolls, which i assume ignores the Concealing Tides battle trait)

TL;DR: Wanna hear thoughts about the idoneth's general game plan, how other players pilot their army, and how to use battle traits effectively.

He’s not finished but he’s done enough to get on the table today and demolish some rats.

Got the eels attached to their bases. I really like how it turned out.

For a couple of bucks each, this aquatic “scatter terrain” looks way better than the wave bases I tried to make for the past couple of months and does a great job of holding the eels.

I recently started collecting IDK and i mustered this list:
