Coven Zealots is a straightforward resilience formation: it returns D3 slain models to each friendly Daughters aelf infantry unit. It keeps Witch Aelves and Sisters of Slaughter dangerous deep into the game. Confirm timing and eligibility in your current battletome.
What the formation does
Return D3 slain models to each friendly Daughters aelf infantry unit. Unlike objective-gated regeneration, this applies to your infantry broadly, refilling your combat blocks so they keep hitting hard.
Who it suits
Players leaning on large infantry hordes as their main damage and body count. It suits a wide, aggressive board presence rather than an elite one.
Key units
- Witch Aelves and Sisters of Slaughter as the primary beneficiaries
- Blood Hags and other aelf infantry that qualify
- Support heroes to buff the refreshed units into combat
When to pick it
Pick it when your list is infantry-heavy and you want staying power across the board rather than tied to objectives. Against armies that delete units outright it is less reliable than a Ward-based formation.
Common questions
Does it only affect aelf infantry?
As aggregated, yes; the returns are for Daughters aelf infantry units. Monsters, war machines, and cavalry are not the target. Check your book for the exact keyword requirement.
Can I bring back a whole wiped unit?
Model-return effects in 4th edition typically require at least one surviving model unless a rule says otherwise. Confirm the specifics in the current battletome and core rules.
