Idoneth Deepkin
The Idoneth emerge from their undersea kingdoms to raid for mortal souls – a vital resource that is required in vast amounts to keep their race alive. The Deepkin strike their quarry like a sudden tidal wave, leaving nothing in their wake but corpses and glass-eyed, soul-drained victims that will never awaken from their stupor.

Optional Special Rules
Source: White Dwarf #484 (out of print)
Below you will find optional rules for Idoneth Deepkin warbands. These are excellent options for narrative and open play, as your Idoneth drag their victims into the briny depths in your games of Warcry.
Before setup, if a player is using an Idoneth Deepkin warband, then that player can choose to arrive with the phantasmal tide. If they do so, the following rules apply during that battle.
Tidal Raid
Tidal Emergence: After deployment, 1 friendly fighter with the Idoneth Deepkin () faction runemark can be removed from the battlefield and set up as if they were part of another friendly battle group, including a battle group that is in reserve. This fighter remains part of their original battle group for all other rules purposes. If more than 1 player is controlling an Idoneth Deepkin warband, those players roll off. The winner chooses the order in which the players use Tidal Emergence.
Surging Tide: During the first battle round, if a friendly fighter with the Idoneth Deepkin () faction runemark makes 2 move actions in the same activation, add 2 to the Move characteristic of that fighter for that second move action.
Crashing Waves: During the second battle round, if a friendly fighter with the Idoneth Deepkin () faction runemark makes 2 attack actions in the same activation, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that fighter for that second attack action.
Ebbing Flow: During the third battle round, if a friendly fighter with the Idoneth Deepkin () faction runemark makes 2 attack actions in the same activation, subtract 1 from the Strength characteristic of that fighter for that second attack action (to a minimum of 1).
Fading Memories: In the fourth and subsequent battle rounds, friendly fighters with the Idoneth Deepkin ( ) faction runemark cannot use abilities or reactions while they are within 3" of 2 or more enemy fighters.
Reaction
| Runemark | Reaction |
|---|---|
| Fade From Memory: A fighter can make this reaction when an enemy fighter finishes a move action within 3" of them. If there is another friendly fighter visible to that enemy fighter and within range of at least one of that enemy fighter's melee weapons, for the rest of the battle round that enemy fighter cannot target this fighter. |
