Aeonotakist Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 A very simple competitive list of daughters of khaine (2000): 80 witch aelves 4 Blood Caldron Thats will give all your units 4* 5++ or 6++ that they will be very hard to kill. Though this big bubble is still weak in taking objectives. But to your list, a daughters of khaine army run with only one caldron is fairly easy to deal with. Even the medusa and Doomfirs are nice units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My friend runs a Dark Aelves list and runs 30 Witches with the Cauldron and it's beastly! So I'd definitely recommend getting 30. Sisters of slaughter are a lot more durable in combat, with a 4+ save. Plus you can give the Mystic Shield as they have a save. Doomfire Warlocks were pretty meh in all the games he used them. Their spell is the same as arcane bolt, but gets better when you have 10+ models, but 400 points for 6 mortal wounds, that goes to D6 when you lose just one model is certainly not worth it. But it's your only way at getting Mystic Shield, so it might be worth the points in larger games as long as you treat it as a Mystic Shield generator. A possible Daughters of Khaine list: Leaders Cauldron Of Blood (220) Death Hag (60) Death Hag (60) Units Witch Aelves x 30 (420) Witch Aelves x 30 (420) Witch Aelves x 10 (140) Sisters Of Slaughter x 20 (320) Doomfire Warlocks x 5 (200) Bloodwrack Medusae x 1 (120) Battalions Bloodwrack Sisterhood (40) Total: 2000/2000 The battalion allows you to pile in and attack in your hero phase if you're already in combat and with 9" of the Cauldron and roll a 6 on a D6.... Not particularly useful, but it allows you to drop it all in 2 drops so you can choose when to go first etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I so want to do a DoK army but I'm waiting for a start collecting Daughters of Khain box because they're so expensive to collect at the moment. I was thinking 2 Cauldrons, which also gives you 2 extra hags and 2 medusa. Then 2 or 3 units of warlocks and all the rest Witch Aelves. Another thought was to do mixed DoK and Covens to take the Sorceress on dragon, with 3x Dark Shards for battle line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone2040 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Strictly speaking the rule seems to be worded in such a way that it does stack. I suspect if it was abused and found powerful that they'd FAQ it pretty quick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it is powerful since it's way to weak in taking objectives. the 10' bubble from 4 caldrons might restrict your witches a lot in moving phase.. 11 hours ago, Bimli said: having 4 blood caldrons allows you to roll a 5++ 4 times? the FEC warmy really rely on their ability to stack 'ward save', and that is accepted in Tournament.
