Biggest Winners
One of the best things about the new edition is figuring out how it will impact your collection or help you lean towards a new army based on their play style. James gave us some tips by telling us why he likes these three units.
Namarti Thralls
James: The new edition revitalises the fantastic Namarti Thralls, who excel at everything from Monster hunting to mowing down hordes. Utilising the new Rally command ability to replenish their numbers, alongside an Isharann Soulrender’s Lurelight ability, large units of Namarti Thralls become a persistent threat.
The unit regeneration allows Namarti Thralls to contribute to battle tactics* such as Conquer while not being at the forefront of the attack until you use the High Tide ability. When the unit does get stuck in, their Sweeping Blows allow them to defend or take objectives with relative ease.
Couple this with the All-out Attack command ability issued by the unit’s champion, and you have a huge counter-attack your opponent won’t see coming.
Morrsarr Guard
James: At the forefront of every Idoneth Deepkin force are the Morsarr Guard. One of the most aggressive units in the game just gained great new delivery systems. Each unit’s Prince can issue an All-out Attack command ability which, when combined with the Eidolon of Mathlann’s ability, Drench With Hate, makes them an extremely efficient unit.
The Morsarr Guard are poised to cement their place as one of the best spearhead units in the game, charging out from the sea of nightmares ready to harvest souls for their Namarti brethren.
Namarti Reavers
James: Namarti Reavers are a fantastic supporting unit. Taking advantage of Unleash Hell, they can combine their ability with their whisperbows’ Storm Fire – giving them three shots each into a charging unit. The Namarti Reavers are potent when they work in concert with units like Ishlaen Guard.
Taking their place among the aelven races of the Mortal Realms, the Idoneth Deepkin are preparing to reap a bumper crop of souls in the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
