Idoneth Deepkin 2022 Review - Warhammer Weekly 03092022

The Vampirate thesis was incredible. Fun show Vince! Thumbs up.

Tell me you worship Slaanesh without telling me you worship Slaanesh: "Today we're talking about wet elves"

Tyler painting is the positive story that 2022 desperately needed.

Constantinos is the perfect guest. Knowledgeable, funny and most importantly good audio quality.

After the vampirates thesis I think we should start a petition to move IDK from Order to Death

The AOS family is a good family. The community is booming locally and nationally

Team Tomler is my favorite! ;) THANK YOU Tyler for being the voice of reason in this crazy world of AoS. Many things in this book is beyond bonkers. The amount of damage in the game right now is way too high. Even the toughest pieces will be blown away. And that feels weird. Megabosses, god and demi-god models should not be that easy to shift. Battleline units are made for being blown up by hard hammers and anvils should be able to take a hammer. But some hammers are just too much.

As a fellow teacher I give the vampirate thesis top marks, well argued and supported. Fantastic job connecting evidence back to claim.

Great review and discussion! Constantinos is a great hobbyist! I really liked his chat with AoS Coach (can't remember which faction). IDK are really interesting now. When they first dropped I like most of their models. Especially Reavers, such a dynamic looking sculpts. What I couldn't really pin point is why I wasn't keen on eel models. What I think is the reason: their pose. I get it that they are on the hunt, but when you take a look at enclaves' artwork you see them looking more like a seahorse. For some reason I like that pose more. Guess there is still an option using 3d print ;) I've starter LRL some time ago, but it goes slowly. Can't get myself to paint them, only started painting Shrine, which is a cool terrain piece. I've started a 3d printed Mummified Undead to count-as SBGL. Mummies are nice stand-in for Zombies, Priests for Necromancers. As for the comment about Khorne going to the sea: Dethklok Go Into The Water started playing in my head :D Followed by same band, but this time song "Murmaider". I highly recommend last one for IDK players to play during High Tide

These puns are just amazing

I really liked the discussion. Thanks guys! I believe this IDK BT will be a meta changer for sure, and that is actually good, on the short term. If IDK shows up more at tournaments (I'm sure it will), you will see SCE, Seraphon, etc lists shift a bit, for sure. Again, variety of playing styles and strenghts is always good for balance. On the other hand, these anti-meta tools might prove too specific as the game evolves, so I wonder if this book will age as well as the other one did. I agree some allegiance abilities and traits sound a bit too strong compared to others, but I honestly believe, apart from one or two possible exploit opportunities - that will go away with time and FAQs - (set up a boat during the game, dhom haim shenanigans) that it's not broken. Idoneth still feels very much like a do or die army. There is no try, you do it, or you do not. And make no mistake, you have to know what you're doing, because you won't solve most problems from afar. You have to get into the thick of it. And remember, even at 2+ 2+, most rerolls are gone, and mounts do not benefit from most of the buffs to hit and to wound or extra attacks. This will be felt, especially when you need to get those last wounds through, trust me. (long-time IDK player speaking) I do believe some things will be FAQ'd, namely the king-high tide spam nonsense. This is fair, and hopefully will tweak the army back into what it's supposed to be: a very thematic, different, innovatively-designed and pro-active army.

Hey guys 1 thing about the thrall master. The riptide. 6s are exploding is only 1 unit. The other 2 effects are for him and all namarti units ww 12. Makes the re roll 1s meaning ful if you can squeeze 2 units around him. Great video again!

Damn, I'm sold on the vampirate thesis. I'm kinda surprised you havent pulled the trigger on a more timmy IDK army that leans heavily into the vampirates theme Vince. ^_^

Amazing !!! Hahaha that explanation of Vampirates was Class! My Vote for best guest of 2022 goes to Constantino!!

Thanks for the shout out to Six Def! I'm the King is a jam!

Really good guest and show this week x

I just want to leave a comment to: 1) Help you with the Youtube Algorithm 2) Say that I really liked your guest. I had never heard of him, and he comes with interesting takes. His mic isn't the greatest though. All in all, a very enjoyable video! If I ever start a 4th army, that it'd probably be this one (other option would be bonereapers), but before that, I need to reduce my pile of shame drastically.

I disagree with the take on the Akhelian King's Lord of Tides ability being activated multiple times if you have more than one, because the ability is not used by the model, but rather activates within some distance of models with this ability. "Once per battle do X for Y units within Z of a unit with this ability" clearly precludes using it a second time. The Treelord Ancient's Silent Communion is the same: "Once per battle (...) pick 1 friendly model with this ability". It's a very different wording from "normal" once per battle abilities, which say something like "Once per battle, do X for Y units withing Z of *this unit/model*".

As much as I would love the rumor engine to CHORFS, part of me thinks it could be a new troggoth hag (With baby trogg) or a new dragon ogre shaggoth (Who has the little dudes on the back) (Also. Tyler? painting? Is he ok? Great news! )

Also... Can Eidolon use Flaming Weapon on 2d6 fish attack? I know, it's not a great profile but... Potential 12 attacks with 2 DMG feels fun.
