r/IdonethDeepkin

My third Gargant was supposed to become a mercenary for the “Idoneth” faction, and the main challenging aspect, apart from choosing the model, was “What kind of armor should a sea giant have?” I gathered a couple of references, stocked up on an STL from Mezgike, and got to work. I decided that perhaps “Gargant — Kraken Eater” was already quite old, and a cult had already formed around it. I chose the colors based on the color wheel: yellow — as a play on the character “Hastur”; orange + red for the crab’s shell (this would best reflect the marine theme); and blue for the skin color — I borrowed the idea from the Sea Giants in D&D. It turned out interesting, and I like it. There are still a lot of factions left, and I’m still thinking about which factions the next Mega‑Gargants will serve; ideally, I want to have 9 Gargants in their “Brotherhood”.

This is the Idoneth Deepkin Diorama I built and painted for a local painting competition and was blessed to have it win Gold in the Fiction Diorama category 😁

Hi everyone, what do you think of my Akhelian King? I had so much fun painting him and creating a water base for this fella. Hope you folks like him too :D

Fell in love with the idea of the deepkin since hearing about them but have been scared to paint them, finally finished one and while I'm not entirely happy with it, I am proud.

Tried an NMM gold for the armor.

Would love any and all advice.

What is the best way to mount or handle the turtle to keep my hands off it as much as possible while painting?

I would really appreciate any firsthand knowledge/experience on these two regiment of renown, and the strength and viability they would bring if one was chosen and added to an Idoneth Deepkin list.
I’ve reviewed both, but find myself lost, weighing both against each other on which, would be a better choice in competitive gameplay.
Thank you to all for any help.
