Idoneth Deepkin – Akhelian Thrallmaster
6" 5 5+ 2 Some members of the martial Akhelian class chafe under the traditions of Idoneth society and yearn for the freedom of the realmseas. Others find themselves cast out by their own kind, often for speaking out against the Idoneth’s soul-based caste system. Many of these pariahs become Thrallmasters – the raider-captains of the Idoneth military. Tasked with venturing out into the realms at the head of a Namarti host, they seek out fresh soul-matter for the enclaves. Thanks to their extensive voyaging, Thrallmasters become experts at reading the ocean currents. They often tattoo themselves with priceless tidal maps illegible to other Idoneth. Most greatly enjoy using this painstakingly gathered intelligence as leverage against higher-ranked Akhelians, who must grit their teeth and deal with a Thrallmaster if they are to reach the best raiding grounds.
By necessity, Thrallmasters learn to use multiple combat techniques. They can alter their stance and weapon in a moment, wielding the vaisurr bident to skewer larger foes or switching to twin helsabres to slice a bloody path through massed ranks, and they rigorously train their Namarti charges in these same fighting styles. Many make use of bonded Snapjaw Eels to defend themselves, for when these creatures sink their fangs into the foe, they are near impossible to remove. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Companion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).7.0 Combat Range

The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
