Idoneth Deepkin – Akhelian Allopex
12" 8 4+ 2 Sleek and powerfully built, an Allopex can outpace most other denizens of the oceans. It can scent the merest drop of blood from many leagues away, and when hungry, it will consume almost anything it comes across. Only through magic are the Idoneth able to bind Allopexes to handlers, for the beasts’ urge to kill is irrepressible, and only trained Akhelians known as Embailors are skilled enough to steer them. The combination of Embailor and beast is highly effective in battle, and Akhelian commanders have learnt to use the Allopex’s speed and ferocity to great effect in soul-raids.
For long-range offensive capability, each Akhelian Allopex bears a harpoon launcher, effectively turning the creature into a highly manoeuvrable weapon platform. Sometimes called the ‘whispering death’ after the sound it makes, the harpoon launcher can be loaded with two kinds of ammunition, each designed to slay different types of enemy. Razorshell harpoons can be loaded and fired in quick succession and are particularly effective against monstrous targets. Retarius nets, meanwhile, are woven from Hyshian sun-siren hair so strong and fine that those entangled in them are torn apart in their struggle to free themselves. | ||

This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
