The 2 raiders have a character and 5 grottys from each coven in them the extra squad will just run

Aiming for mean but amusing, gonna be weird using drukhari that aren't a Glass hammer

Any chance you can fit in a unit of Mandrakes and Scourges with 4 Shredders?

They are a staple of every Competitive DE list, because they score you lots of Secondary points, prevent a number of Alpha Strike builds from giving you a Turn 1 KO, and help solve the Anti-Infantry problem that Coven have (not enough attacks to kill Hoards).

I also love Wracks, but thats a personal preference. I do like that your bringing the ECW on the Acothyst. Its a real game changer for the unit

no, this isnt and wasn't a competitive list, it was hilarious though! I lost 3 grottys from the foot slogger unit, and the talos tanked a huge amount of fire its a very weird change to my cult lists lol

Oh yes, the pacing of a Coven list is very different from a Cult list.

Much less punch, but much more durability. But the durability is only "better than Cult durability", which still isnt much.

Either way you got to be hyper aware of terrain, what can be safely charged and what cant, what you can expect to kill with a charge, and what you can hope to tie up.

We have a great codex to draw from, so many different tricks we can pull.

Let me know if you want advice on something particular. Otherwise good luck and have fun
