Idoneth Deepkin : Namarti Reavers

Namarti Reavers provide the archers and scouts for the Idoneth Deepkin phalanxes. The Akhelians recognise the need for reconnaisance, picket forces and massed missile fire, but regard such duties as beneath them – thus, the Reavers are assembled from the quickest and lithest of the Namarti. Their weapons training concentrates upon how to swiftly aim and fire the silent whisperbow, as well as how to defend themselves with short keening blades designed for stabbing. In battle the Namarti Reavers move quickly, probing defences, seeking out vulnerable quarry and harrying the enemy’s most formidable war assets, providing a distraction as the Akhelians line up their devastating charges.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 10 Namarti Reavers. Clad in less-ornate armour than their commanders and superiors, as befits their withering souls and disposable nature, they still cut impressive figures – each is powerful and muscular. 10 heads are included, which are interchangeable – each is hairless and blind, with blank, empty sockets where eyes should be. There are choices in the way you can depict them – 10 pairs of arms holding whisperbows are included, each specific to a torso, with a further 10 alternative pairs holding whisperbows and keening knives. There are options for an icon bearer – this model is distinguished by their back banner, a huge wrought Idoneth Thrall rune which towers over them from behind. Included is a decorative component for one of the bases – a long, sinuous eel with bared fangs and a distended jaw, ready to strike.

This kit comes as 93 components, and is supplied with 10 Citadel 32mm Round bases.
