In this video TheJTJ reviews the Warscroll for the Coven Throne. I cover their abilities and discuss some tactics for each.

Coven Throne

• Cost
  • 310
• Notes:
  • Vampire
  • Malignant
  • Hero
  • Wizard
• Max wound output:
  • 27
• Average wound output:
  • 6
• 4 weapon profiles
• Not great average damage but good amount of attacks. Nice for low armor units.

• The Good
  • 14” move at full health
  • Fly
  • Big base for back line buffing.
  • Great spell
  • Great Command Ability
  • The Hunger
• The Bad
  • 4+ save
  • Enemy Shooting should target first

• Thoughts
  • With some of the best abilities of any unit in the book. The Coven Throne is a great buffing Hero that can also do a bit of front line fighting.
  • Works nicely in many builds.
  • Shudder can lock an enemy heavy hitter down.
  • Go buy one!

• Thoughts on Bloodlines
  • Legion of Blood
    • extra D3 run from BS, great for taking on those low bravery chaf units this should be taking on all the time,
    • No negative modifiers on Deathrattle in 12” Plus and extra +1 to save with Tactical insight. 4+ Great weapon GG
    • Buff build: Aristocracy of Blood and Oubliette
    • Tank build: Aura of Dark Majasty and Soubound garments
  • Legion of Night
    • Outtflank with some Blood Knights
    • Buff build: Unbending Will and Morghegs Claw.
    • Tanks build: Terrifying Visage and Shard of Night
    • Use Above Suspicion to deep strike this next to all those Vargheists to make them worth taking.
  • Vyrkos Dynasty
    • Buffed up Grave Guard = +2 to wound, +1 to hit and +1 save
    • Reroll casting, is great to help cast Shudder
    • Build I like: Pack Alpha and Arcane Tome use it to cast Pinons or Mystic Shield on self
  • Kastelai Dynasty
    • Can keep up with your BK
    • Power in the Blood, Swift and Deadly, Rousing Commander are all viable on this unit.
    • Sword of the Red S or Fragment
    • Use it at a mobile BK buffing platform. #one of the best ways to buff BK
  • Avengorii Dynasty
    • I would not make the Coven Throne the general, but It would still work in Avengorii. Tactical insight on a VLOZD or a Terrorgheist is very good.
    • Possibly take Master of Magic to help cast Shudder
    • Not a bad option for second Hero in this Bloodline
• Unit Rating
  • A+
    • Look for ways to keep it alive or help it cast. One of the best Spells and CA in the game.
    • The only keyword it is missing is Monster.
    • If used right can be game changer.
  • Spell
    • Shudder
      • With good positioning and use you can lock enemy heavy hitters down.
    • A+

Thanks for watching, Y’all be good.
