Olincay Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hey everyone, awhile ago I heard on a podcast *cant remember which one* about a pretty solid list that involved witch aelves, a cauldron of blood and possibly executioners *I think* If someone could enlighten me on the units, unit size and how the synergy works that would be greatttt. Cheers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The CoB is a buff wagon for Daughters of Khaine units but goes extra good for witches. The main use is the blood shield which give a 6+ ward save to any DoK unit within 9" but for witches it is a 5+ ward. The if you put. All the CoB buffs onto a single unit of witches, you can make them pile in and attack twice in combat, immune to break tests, reroll wounds of 1 and +1 to wound. Just being within 14" gives the witches +1 attack (so up to 3 attacks each). The witches themselves can reroll hits of 1 but if there are more than 20 models in the unit, they re roll all hits. So, a 20+ strong unit of witches buffed by a CoB have 61 attacks (extra for unit champ) hitting on rerollable 3s, wounding on 3s rerolling ones. No rend but you should get something like 50 wounds that need saving. Executioners are just brutal but they're really expensive. They're in Darkling covens faction so they don't benefit from the CoB bloodshield but their ability is pretty simple. 2 attacks each and each 6 rolled to hit is two mortal wounds. Cast a spell on them that gives +1 to hit or secrisifce in damned terrain for the same effect, and you are casuing two mortals on each 5+. The main issue is that they are really expensive. If you are fielding both witches and executioners, then you'll need some core units as Witches are only core in a DoK army and the exes break that allegiance. Staying with Dark Aelves (although you can choose from any order faction), your options are darkshards, dreadspears or bleakswords. I prefer the former to give some ranged attacks. jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Buckler Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It was my List, I have used it at several events this year, its Leaders Cauldron Of Blood (220) – Behemoth Cauldron Of Blood (220) – Behemoth Death Hag (60) Sorceress (80)Units Witch Aelves x 20 (280) Witch Aelves x 20 (280) Witch Aelves x 20 (280) Darkshards x 10 (100) - Battleline Darkshards x 10 (100) - Battleline Darkshards x 10 (100) - Battleline Executioners x 10 (200)Batallions Exiled Blood Cult (80)Total: 2000/2000 Leaders:4 Behemoths:2 If required to be listed Traits: Reckless Artefacts: Phoenix Gem on both Cauldrons Its solid, kicks out a ton of mortal wounds, but lacks any range. If you fighty a shooty list you will get blasted off, but will fight up there with teh best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHarrison Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 love the list and combo, just shame it doesnt have any way of buffing their speed. As stated, suffers big agaisnt ranged shooting armies! Bet it looks cool though What does the Exiled Blood court do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Buckler Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Basically Wytch Elves, 1 cauldron and executioners do mortal wounds on a roll of a 6 to wound. Obv with cauldron buff that becomes a 5+. Also if a unit kills an enemy unit, then for rest of combat phase they get +1 attack for rest of formation.

Ootlaw Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Would it be worth it to find room for Doomfire Warlocks? They benefit from the Cauldron, they are fast, and a unit of 5 up will cast D6 mortal wounds. Great for going after monsters and warmachines.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
