This might be an Old World clan, but I'm loving the old Clan Skurvy vibes in this one. Plus Dreadfleet had a rotting fish ship that was absolutely disgustingly awesome
The invasion of the Nautilar's home-beast lasted six years because the poor skaven had the enormous bad luck to meet the most defensive and best entrenched of all the Idoneth enclaves. Furthermore, the invasion lasted so long actually because the Nautilar where also the most numerous of the Deepkin. They are famous for their Chorralus (the shell warper) who built not only beautiful palaces with the scaphodon's own shell but also defensive turrets and similar defensive weapons:it is written how much the Nautilar wants to protect their adopted urbeast, and Deepkins in general tends to fortify their cities against all kind of sea predators, both small and gargantuan. Thank you for the video Dough, I warmly suggest you to read The Court of The Blind King :)
Story reminds me of Iyanden in 40k. Eldar link to Idoneth in society plus devastating assault on their moving city. For Beastmen there were mentions in their tome of fish headed gors and shark headed Bullgors. Maybe they can have fun with the Idoneth
Very much an Iyanden feeling story for sure! As for the beastmen, I thought about that after I uploaded the vid, but i think folks got my point enough haha
I started reading the Court of the Blind king, in which it states that there is Ethersea in the cities (like a huge bubble). Which means that, instead of Ethersea on land (sort of) people can still swim (a bit like in Aquaman). I really wonder how that translates to the architecture of the city and these kinds of battles. I imagine skaven rocking some semi underwater gear. The stormcast I have no idea how they could effectively fight in this new environment. But most of all I figure the deepkin have a huge advantage because they are used to this type of ethersea, and being adept at combat in such an environment. Just some food for thought!
Thats a wonderful point!!! I really wish there was a full story following a deepkin raid, but from the view of the defenders. Like what do people (humans) feel when the ethersea envelopes them? I'd love to read that!
6 year siege? Laughs in 21 year siege of Candia. But on a serious note this really is a cool story. Also the idea of Stormcast lightning dropping to the bottom of the ocean is just a badass notion.
Question: the great beast left one realm and swam to “the warmer waters of ghur?” Did it achieve this feat Via the largest realmgate ever or is the image I have of how the realms are arranged completely wrong?
how would a beast of such a size travel for one realm to the next? Are there realmgates underwater? Of a size large enough to allow such a creature to go through it?
I'm just thinking how awesome Deepkin would be if they fortified their homes. The combination of how hard it is to get there+resources would make them the hardest thing in the realms to invade
@doug I think I disagree with you when you’re talking about the deep cannot building defense of structures. I can’t remember if it’s him on the short books or not but there is a comment about HAL have to have major defense of structure is just because of all the animal attacks from all the animals that are under the ocean that are constantly trying to eat them
I didnt mean to imply they *Cannot* build defensive stuff. Rather, those defenses are geared to exactly what you mentioned... wildlife and natural hazards. Somewhat different from full blown artillery, siege gear and so on.
I remember a undersea adventure in DnD when we used air magic to generate buoyancy, to launch enemies from the bottom of the sea that was also breathable, into the lower layers of the crushing abyss, instantly killing them
No, when he first realized that the Idoneth were flawed his instinctive reaction was to assume that they were tainted by Slaanesh. He thus logically went to destroy them till Tyrion talked him down. The Idoneth both understand and accept his logic, they just still mostly don't like him.
@@adambielen8996 ah, it sounded like they are still desperately fleeing from him. In his videos on Broken Realms Morathi: it sounded like they immediately came to the conclusion that Morathi stole the lantern to use against the deepkin. Guess they are just skittish around him lol.
"We all live in a rotting submarine! A rotting submarine!"
Unknown warlock engineer of clan Skryre
"This guy is going places..... better kill him"
-That Warlock Engineers boss

@@auroralee must confess it was a completely unintentional thing. Kinda cool though, I won't lie.
The deepkin are very cool,the atmosphere of something unkown in the water ready to pillage and steal souls would scare even a chaos cultist
That is just such a Skaven thing to do. They don't care if you live under the water.
I know right? I love it haha
The story about Archaon sending the Skaven after the deepkin really just comes across as "take a long walk off a short pier"
agreed! "Whats a mystery I wouldnt mind losing thousands of lives to solve? Hey rat dudes, get your snorkels!"

Dolphin beastmen! (In answer to "what can beasts of chaos do to [deepkin]")
Ohhh Idoneth Deepkin! Slowly building the army. Though much love for both factions here 😄🍻 great stuff as always Doug 👍
I’d like to see some Aquatic Ratmen.
I’ve been waiting for new stuff about my precious deepkin! I really enjoy listening to you as I paint
More to come!

right?!
This lore videos about Idoneths are amazing, I just finished them all, thanks a lot !

6 years!?! Omg
13:48 evolve. *Send me on my way by Rusted Root starts playing*
well the submarines didnt work lets try warpstone bombs^^ ooor just dump enough pollution in the water untill the godbeast swimms belly upwarts xD
Oh man, that would be so rad!!!
Oh, yes. This is the good stuff.
Just for you, buddy ;)
@@2Tough I totally play a Nautilar splinter Enclave, so... ♥
Do you think the Deepkin's national anthem is from The Little Mermaid?
I was thinking "Atlantis", by Donovan ;)
@@2Tough haha, that fits.
I'm just thinking how awesome Deepkin would be if they fortified their homes. The combination of how hard it is to get there+resources would make them the hardest thing in the realms to invade
Agreed!
beasts of chaos against deepkin? shark & frog beastmen are not unreasonable
I really like Idoneth Lore
Why are pirate Skavens not an army?
Have you heard of the idoneth clan at the bottom of the lake of lethis?
...I don't know.

undead could do it, just dump 100s of thousands of skeletons and zombies to the deeps, they are already dead anyway xD
Good
Does Teclis even hate the deepkin?
No, when he first realized that the Idoneth were flawed his instinctive reaction was to assume that they were tainted by Slaanesh. He thus logically went to destroy them till Tyrion talked him down. The Idoneth both understand and accept his logic, they just still mostly don't like him.

@@AceTaxiaGaming It seems that paranoia is the natural state of Idoneth society as a collective. Which is kinda understandable.
Nurgle has a good parallel for "D Day landers" in Dark Imperium. Their arrival on the planet of Iax involves "space whales".
