Need help with formations and other coven stuff. Also understanding what they should take and their role.

First this will be multiple questions for many formations on the new supplement and what is best to take for them. I will also ask about mostly coven stuff such as wrack grots and pain engines ehat is best to take on them and should they do. Also will ask about haemi and see what they can do.


Formations:

First up the Grotesqueire:
So what is so good about is it worth if you put both squads in raiders with the haemi and take a wwb also what should they take for weapons. Should they also have an aberration and what should be take.

Scarlet Epicureans:
Is this good if anyone have tried it. Does it make its points back.

Scalpel squadron:
Is it worth it and if it is what should I take on it.

Corpsethief claw:

Dark Artisan:

Covenite fleshcorps:

Troops:

Wracks:

Grotesques:

Pain engines:

Haemonculi:
What should they take and what weapons. What are the best artefacts in each book they should take.


Please help me

CHEERS!!!!

Coven can be fearless very fast ,,, that is their main benefit. Haemie in a coven list really does need any artifacts.

Grots and Wracks - fearless - are for cc and holding objectives - generally need transports unless you want to DS a squad of grots with a hamie - squads of four with aberation are pretty darn good.

Dark Artisan truly rocks. I've used it. Dropping a haemie w/liquifier, a talos w/ sc and ichor and a cronos in someone's back deployment will ruin their day.

Now taking five Talos is something I also tried - it worked out very well for me. I opted to scout the buggers and they pretty much controlled the table with 30 splinter shots a turn. It is very expensive though. You are creating a no enter zone of over 16" circumference - spread them out as much as you can. No one wants to be assaulted by that squad. That is a large area that you can be in turn two at the center of the table.

Now a little bit down their is a nice breakdown of the various coven detachments ...
