Here is my take on an army of fishmen.

Feel free to come with suggestions, ideas, constructive critics, magic items, unit entries, well everything.

I Intend to use my fishman sculpts for the army. As many of you might already know, the army is meant to be able to double as a lizardman army in official games, though the two armylists are not meant be very similar in playstyle.

My fishman sculpts can be found here, and in my various army-blogs on various forums.

I am currently sculpting a Lesser priest on skyray (Skink priest on terradon, I hope these are available when the new book comes out) and a Cthulhu High Priest (Slann on foot)

Thanks

I have edited some flaws now and added a few new powers/magic items as well as added the Lore of the Sea.

the big changes are these: Priests can only take one Power (2 for high priest) but they don't count towards magic item allowance.
I fixed the deep one 3 wound mistake. Of course they should have only one wound.
Leviathan now has scaly skin (3+).
Behemoth crabs cause fear.
Other minor stuff such as point costs has been added/edited

Here is the almost finished book. Still need somebody to do a nice cover. I'm thinking green priest with yellow eyes on black/white manta style skyray with a few Ray'ders behind him, and hordes of Deep Ones marching below with a few dagons in between them. All this could be in a beachy mangrove enviorment. Anybody up to the task?

Well here's the file:

I won't change the #1 spell to 5+. Tzeentch has a better one that is 3 or 4+ IIRC, and this should be an army focusing mostly on magic, so a good base spell is nessecary.

Also, I need some more ideas for Special Characters, and a few more magic items wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks

Here is a new list with a few more special characters and corrections.

I still need to add fluff for the thunderfish though, but basically he's a rare breed of dagon, who's an electric eel and not a normal predatory fish.

I also completely reworked the trident. it's now more useful than before.

I am seriously thinking of giving the Dagons a "blood frenzy" special rule making them frenzied after causing one or more wounds, like sharks, who go crazy with the scent of blood, but I don't know how it would work, or if it would be too powerful.

And please folks. You know me. I'm an honest person. it's not a virus, but an ordinary word document.

This is extremely freak for me, do we have some telepathic connection !?!

I have also been working on a Sea Based army, it's has some similarities notably the Man 'o War but I guess a giant jellyfish is to be expected in an under water army.

Anyway, like I said, very freaky indeed.

PS. I like your army.

If you're interested, here's mine...

I vave actually seen your army a while ago. It was me, who suggested to call the giant octopus a "Kraken" and the "Kraken" a "Leviathan"

Although I'm not a fan of the army including undead and sand elementals.

Thanks
