Idoneth Deepkin – Akhelian King
12" 7 3+ 2 The Idoneth are a people to whom warfare is a way of life, and none amongst them personify this as gloriously as the Akhelian Kings. These mighty warriors command the enclaves’ phalanxes in battle, utilising the martial skills and strategic mastery they developed during their years of military training. Reading the currents of the battlefield in an instant, they direct their warriors to outmanoeuvre and rout the foe.
The title of Akhelian King or Queen is not granted as a hereditary right; instead, it is earned through hard fighting and dedicated service to one’s enclave. If death does not claim them, they will eventually be granted regal status and command an Akhelian phalanx of their own. To the pragmatic Deepkin, such an arduous path to leadership is the best way to ensure that birthright does not elevate the weak over the strong.
Akhelian Kings ride into battle upon Deepmares, sea-beasts whose talons can punch through metal. From atop their mount, an Akhelian King fights with either a bladed polearm or a greatsword known as an astra trom. | ||

Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
