As summer hits full swing and hobbyists are just trying to paint without their contrast paints drying mid-stroke, the Idoneth Deepkin have chosen this moment to raid the Mortal Realms once more. This week’s Sunday Preview, originally from Warhammer Community, offers a tidal wave of new products for the aelven reavers of the deep—plus a few other tasty morsels for fans of Tzeentch, Space Wolves, and even plush Skaven.
Let’s dive in.
Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin Surfaces with New Rules and Lore
Kicking things off is the new Battletome for the Idoneth Deepkin, and it’s packed tighter than a soul-net. Clocking in at 98 pages, this tome dives deep into the cursed origin of the Deepkin, their lore, warscrolls, battle traits, and yes—even rules for Spearhead, Path to Glory, and Armies of Renown.
If you’re all-in on this army, grab the Gamer’s Edition, which comes with 37 reference cards to keep your battles flowing faster than a tidal surge. This edition is only available while supplies last, so move fast if you want that sweet convenience at your fingertips.
New Miniatures Ride the Wave In
First up, the Ikon of the Sea channels the roiling tide itself, surging into battle and dragging allies with it. This kit can also build the Ikon of the Storm, a more aggressive variant that embodies full oceanic fury.
Next, we get Mathaela, Oracle of the Abyss—a powerful Isharann figure who’s a soul-scrying spellcaster with serious presence. Then comes the Manifestations of the Deep, a visual showstopper representing the ocean’s wrath given terrifying form. Think: deep-sea kaiju meets ethersea magic.
You’ll also be able to pick up the previously box-locked Isharann Soulscryer on its own. This unit uses their mystical compass to lead deep-striking ambushes and sniff out mortal soul-energy. Tactical and thematic? Yes please.
Spearhead: Akhelian Tide Guard Makes a Splash
For those leaning into Age of Sigmar’s newest format, the Spearhead: Akhelian Tide Guard box is your gateway. You get a fast, punchy force: an Akhelian King, Ishlaen and Morrsarr Guard, and 10 Namarti Reavers. These are classic wave-surfing cavalry backed up by nimble archers. Expect synergy, speed, and stylish scalemail.
There’s also a matching Warscroll Cards and Dice Set, featuring 27 reference cards and a frosty blue dice pack with the Deepkin icon on the six. It’s very on-theme—icy cool, oceanic vibes, and ready for your next raid.
White Dwarf 514 – Tzeentch Takes the Spotlight
The fourth and final issue in the Chaos Gods series focuses on none other than Tzeentch. Expect articles on his eternal rivalry with Nurgle, new Combat Patrol rules with a daemonic twist, and an Army of Renown backed by Legends options. There’s also lore on Grey Knights, an overview of Grand Cathay’s miniature design, and the continuation of the Trials of Albarak.
Bonus: If you missed the Grand Narrative at Warhammer World last year, there’s a detailed recap included too.
Citadel Colour Masterclass + Loremasters + Victory Pointers
Need to paint some Space Wolves? Citadel Colour Masterclass is dropping a tutorial to help you capture that cold blue power armour just right.
And for lore fans, Loremasters is digging into the Isstvan III Massacre—the brutal betrayal that kicked off the Horus Heresy. If you’ve got a love for tragic heroism and orbital bombardments, this is your episode.
Meanwhile, Victory Pointers is taking a guided tour through the General’s Handbook 2025-26, covering how to build your list around new Battle Tactics and conquer the updated Battleplans.
Surprise Plush: Skaven Deathmaster Soft-Soft!
Finally, a curveball. Our friends at TOMY are unleashing the Skaven Deathmaster Plush, a squishy assassin from Clan Eshin. It’s stabby in spirit, snuggly in form, and perfect for anyone who wants their shelf to whisper “stab-kill” with fluffy menace.
Final Thoughts – The Deep Are Calling
This week’s release slate is a feast for Deepkin fans, offering rules, lore, models, and tactical options all in one crashing wave. Add in the lore-heavy White Dwarf, hobby support, and the best plush rat since Thanquol’s tail got tangled in a beanbag, and it’s a standout week for Warhammer.
Whether you’re chasing the salt spray of the ethersea or planning the ultimate boarding action, now’s the time to ready your raiding party and ride the waves into battle.
