swarmofseals Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 A question for those of you that have significant experience playing and eels list in competitive tournaments: What do you consider to be your bad matchups? Are there specific factions or lists that you really hope to avoid facing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xil Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I don't play the army. But avoid anything with Mortal Wounds output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say personally my worst match up would be DoT: Host Duplicitous; Changehost. I can mange basically everything without that combination of strengths, Seraphon with Kroak is pretty bad as well.

I’ve good success against everything else in my local meta though, including FEC Blisterskin, Skaven Skryre, Ironjawz, etc etc. The one army that is inherently a bad matchup is Nighthaunt with large units of Chainrasp. Losing rend on the charge is absolutely painful. The attrition fights against hordes are not favorable for IDK in competitive lists as well. But I can at least chew through Stabbas with the proper amount of force. Forget trying to get through Pink Horrors as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetoric Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Looks like IDK might be the undercard in the new Broken Realms: Morathi book. The piece of art looks awesome. Here’s to hoping for an Underworlds warband, Endless Spells, or new models and rules soon-ish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is hoping for some fun artwork and lore and rules for under used units like Namarti. Super stoked for this. The artwork for the battle between the IDK and DOK makes me happier then a Turtle in a soul pond. I am happy with cool spells and some way to cast while avoiding Teclis/Kroak and their ridiculous unbinds otherwise I am staying magic free. Anyone else hoping we don't get endless spells just for the fact you would have to carry those along with the shipwrecks too? It is like I am carrying around 2 armies not to mention all the glue for when the eels fall off their stands 😂. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocKeule Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I would guess the IDK update will come a little later just as the release was in 2018. Especially since the new box is DoK vs. Slaanesh so I am not expecting any other AoS release before October or later. But I rooting for a new battletome with a massive overhaul and endless spells also. Since I carry my whole IDK army in two magnetized toolboxes any way that would not make that much of a difference 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSalabean Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi all, so I’m taking the plunge into Idoneth primarily due to loving the theme and models. Starting out with the start collecting as it’s just a base to build from. What enclave is recommended? I’m stuck with what to paint them as :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanThe AelfKing Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'm in a little bit of a predicament. I ordered some eels from trolltrader, but it didn't come with building instructions, so I'm a little lost on what to do :'( Would it be possible for anyone to quickly snap some pics of the booklet for me? I'm a bit scared to just try and guess where everything goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m stuck with what to paint them as The best enclave heavily depends on your army built, if you plan to use allies and your strategy for the upcoming game. Just pick the paint scheme that speaks to you the most or come up with your own idea. Lorewise you can always go back to the rule that you can create your own enclave that has the same characteristics as one of the major ones.

SirSalabean Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So I took the plunge!! This is what I’ve got so far, got the battleforce cheap. Got some good ideas for how I’m going to base them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, really good advice! better reavers than thralls?(I was trying to use all units in the 2X starter box that I think to buy😄) why I can’t find list where is played Volturnos+King or double King like double maw from Ironjawz?this two heroes are good only with eels?also, is a good idea wanting to play them together?

What do you expect two kings to do? I’m not sure, My first game will be probably tomorrow.😃 Comparing stats, Volturnos/king is more squishy than a maw but cost less, so I would expect to use them as a good hit and run pieces, hoping Volturnos/king or king/king charge could take down some important enemy piece.

Keilerei Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Can anyone share his/her experiences with running a 4 shark unit of Allopexes? I understand that Morsarr are our best unit. But I often struggle to instantly delete what I was charging due to bad rolls or poor judgement. Without the charge bonus they hit like wet noodles. Allopexes don’t lose their rend and with King/Volti buff makes them fairly strong in a bigger unit. Sure they don’t Re-roll their charges consistently and battleshock is our bane but I would love to see them being played and wether I should invest into 2 more sharks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run them in fun lists but I prefer running 1-2 for cheap objective grabbers and taking a few pot shots. I know there are people who have a great experience with them but not so much on my end. I ran a squad of 3 last week and just wished I had Morrsarr :p. The Morathi book is coming out and may have some Idoneth updates and I would hope Sharks/Turtle/Eidolon will all improve. My 2 cents.

They are hit and miss to be honest, but are fairly valuable to provide something that doesn’t rely on a charge in order to do damage. They are also pretty tough, so they can soak up some damage before losing combat efficiency. Best used with the akhelian corps so they get one re-roll, but outside of that they can be good. Just be careful of monster hunters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From personal Experience at least the leviadon from the akhelian corps to give at least 1 re-roll, but if you can have the Akhelian King follow them around telling them to hit better then that’s the best support you can give IMO. If you can afford it then the Eidolon of the storm is great for re-rolling wounds, but usually you cannot afford one in a list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazhoath Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Do you think that the Broken Realms Books will give us new rules for the Idoneth? Or will the rules only for narrative plays? I hope so bad for new artefacts for matched plays😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
