Idoneth Deepkin Morsarr Guard

 As I said, it's time to start building that Idoneth force in earnest, especially the needed units to play Spearhead.

And of course, that means the first thing to build and paint would be the always great Fangmora Eel riders.

I opted for the first of many that I have lying around to build them as the Morsarr Guard variation, as that is the unit included in the actual Spearhead list.  These agile, 14" move cavalry troops (and you can give an regimental ability to heal them D3 after a fight ability) are really the stars of the force, and their charge bonuses and electric blast are great additional potential damage to the target.

 

 

So for the colours of the Eel's, I went for green (because "paling in't groen" is a Flemish delicacy)  contrasted with red for the sheer effect, and to go with the streamers of the riders.

The riders themselves got metallic blue highlighted armour, with a boney touch for the shields and such, to reflect seashell like material.  

While a pain to assemble, I deliberatly cut down the stems to lower on the one hand their point of balance, while on the other hand have a larger contact area to put the eels on.

Now to get the rest of the force painted up as well, and get ready to steal some souls!
