He was the first of his kind, and is the last of the Cythai still alive. All Ionrach bow before him, their one acknowledged leader, the eldest and greatest of their race.
The Idoneth Deepkin are a mysterious race of aelves who dwell within the oceans of the Mortal Realms, emerging from their watery seclusion to plunder the souls of land-dwellers. Guided by the eldritch insight and tidal magics of a Soulscryer, the eyeless Namarti advance into battle, cutting a path for arrogant Akhelian nobles mounted atop deadly aquatic beasts that swim through the air on phantasmal currents.
US tankers have been the heroes of script and screen since their entry into the Second World War, and this band of furious tank-men display the fighting spirit and grit that made them Hollywood legends. The four partial mounted figures (and a fifth firing the ubiquitous pintle-mounted HMG so beloved of US armour crews) alongside the pair of dismounts fighting their way to safety are the perfect addition to make any American Achtung Panzer or Bolt Action force really stand out!
The Achtung Panzer! US Army Tank Force gives you five classic American tanks to help liberate the oppressed nations of Europe and bring the might of US industry to the tabletop. This balanced, powerful force is built around a trio of the ubiquitous Sherman M4A3E8 Easy Eights, which combine serious firepower from their 76mm guns with decent levels of mobility and protection, supported by a pair of fast lighter elements – the M18 tank destroyer is capable of annihilating enemy armour from ambush, while the M5 Stuart is perfect for scouting, flanking, and harassing the foe.
The Soviet armoured juggernaut that rolled through Eastern Europe and into Germany was as much the product of its crews as its vehicles – and these hardy Russian tankers exemplify the kind of men (and women!) who took the fight to the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. With six partial figures including a female commander to mount in your hatches, plus three dismounted and fighting on foot, this pack gives you a great, simple way to add loads of character to any Soviet Bolt Action or Achtung Panzer! collection.
The Achtung Panzer! Soviet Army Tank Force allows you to deploy five iconic Soviet tanks to take on the enemies of the Motherland. The trio of no-nonsense T-34/76 medium tanks with their great balance of mobility, firepower, and protection are more than ably supported by the monstrous KV-1/KV-2 and IS-2 heavy tanks which pack a serious punch and bring massively thick armour to the table, giving your platoon a great breakthrough capability for your T-34s to exploit.
Namarti Reavers provide the archers and scouts for the Idoneth Deepkin phalanxes.
It is the Tidecasters who conjure the phantasmal sea that allows aelf and aquatic beast to move and breathe as if they were in their own natural environment.
Idolised echoes of a bygone era, the Eidolons of Mathlann are summoned to life in times of dire need. These are no divine avatars, however, but collective manifestations of the ancestral souls of the Idoneth Deepkin, spirits of vengeance wrapped in the image of a lost aelven god.
Shrugging off enemy missiles, the Akhelian Leviadon plunges into the fray. Scythed fins dismember foes while the beast’s powerful jaws clamp down with enough force to crush tempered steel.
No troops exemplify the Idoneth Deepkin way of life more than the Akhelian Guard. Mounted atop Fangmora Eels, they fight in a loose formation ideal for rapid assaults and sudden retreats, typifying the hit-and-run style of war common amongst the aelves of the depths.
At first they appear as spectral blurs in the ethersea, distant streamlined shapes that seem to materialise from nowhere. With powerful thrusts of their sickle-finned tails, the forms grow all too quickly as they launch their attack
