As the summer sun beats down and we stroll along the beach, what do we see wading out from the waves but an extremely pale aelf? Turns out, the Idoneth Deepkin are mounting another series of devastating raids on the Mortal Realms in this week’s Sunday Preview. Let’s tag along and see what’s coming up for these enigmatic raiders of the deep.
Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin
Cursed to fade away unless they steal the life-essence of mortals, the Idoneth Deepkin dwell in the deepest oceans, surfacing only to launch vicious raids to ensure their survival. Their new battletome is packed with rich lore, updated rules, warscrolls, new Spearhead content, and rules for Regiments and Armies of Renown. If you’d like something more portable, the Gamer’s Edition includes the book and a set of reference cards – but this edition will only be available direct from Games Workshop and only while stocks last.
New Models & Heroes
-
Ikon of the Sea: An Akhelian warrior who channels the full fury of the ocean into combat, or build them as an Ikon of the Storm for an even wilder approach.
-
Mathaela, Oracle of the Abyss: A master Isharann, wielding the abyss itself as a weapon and leading the denizens of the deep to defend their soul-reefs.
-
Idoneth Deepkin Manifestations: Summon an Incarnate of the Deep to lash out with abyssal tendrils and crush your enemies under the weight of the ocean’s power.
-
Isharann Soulscryer: Previously only available in the Spearhead, this soul-seeker is now up for grabs separately.
-
Spearhead: Akhelian Tide Guard: Bring the royalty of the Akhelian warrior caste and their loyal protectors to the battlefield in a fast and deadly force.
Warscroll Cards, Dice & More

Not to be overlooked, this issue dives deep into the schemes of Tzeentch, explores the eternal rivalry with Nurgle, and brings more lore, hobby content, and fiction to your table.
Our Take on This Release
While the Idoneth Deepkin always draw a dedicated following, we know demand for this wave will be more niche than some of the summer’s other big releases. As such, we’ll be offering an After Dark Preorder for these items, but we won’t be leaning as heavily into stocking this range in depth. Supplies will be intentionally limited, so if you’re eager to add these abyssal reavers to your collection, we recommend securing your order early. Orders will be back on reserve the Thursday following the Street Release.
Keep an eye out for our After Dark window – and as always, happy hobbying!
