    Won't set me back a even a dime. But I understand your meaning; that Turtle will likely be quite expensive.

    Yup. I was meaning the Edolion, but yes the turtle should be similar

    I think the turtle will be more expensive. Edolion is the guy with water cape?

    Correct. Eidolon is Greek for avatar or an idealized being.

    So which do you think will cost more... Eidolon or the turtle?

    Turtle
    Avatar of mathlaan
    Dude on hippocampus
    Shark 2 man thing
    Characters
    Eel riders
    Foot troops

    That's my order of price guess from highest to lowest

    So, I was right anoua characters and big guy with initial estimates, and basic infantry is essentially goldswords 5.0

    The octopus guy is the one I like best. Great model!

    The prices... normal GW I guess?

    Not so - as I have said before, whereas the Dark Eldar relish the idea of taking people's souls and have fully embraced the idea, the Deepkin see it as something they don't want to do but have to do to ensure their people's survival.

    I don't really like the bald, eyeless heads idea. If I ever got any I think I would have to give them some spare High Elf Spearman heads or something to make them look more like soldiers. Otherwise, though, they are quite well-designed.

    Same here. I understand the idea and commend them on the rather unique concept, but.... it just doesn't look good to me.

    It does make them look more fish-like especially as some fish that live very deep underwater have either no eyes or sightless eyes, but it just doesn't look very good on Elves. It would have been better if they were a completely new race of fish-creatures rather than Sea Elves, but conversely it does also give them a reason to exist in unofficial Fantasy Rules because Sea Elves existed in 3rd edition although they were ditched afterwards.

    What if they had heads from the eel riders guys with helmets?

    That would be a great idea - make them look more Greco-Atlantean, and perhaps give them spears from the Spearmen set to make them Greek Elf Hoplites!

    I'm certainly going to look into that...

    You are most welcome for the suggestion.

    I would caution the spears though. The posing of the legs is more in keeping with wielding an axe or greatsword
