Tzaangor Coven: The Mortal Beastmen Formation (AoS 4th Ed)
Lean into Tzaangor blocks that refuse to die, clawing models back through a supercharged Rally command.
SprueSentry strategy commentary for Age of Sigmar 4th edition, not official rules. Games Workshop updates points and rules regularly — always confirm against the current official rules and your latest dataslate before a game.
Tzaangor Coven is the mortal-focused battle formation for Disciples of Tzeentch in Age of Sigmar 4th edition, built around Tzaangor (Warflock) units. It boosts your ability to Rally, keeping your beastmen blocks on the table far longer than the opponent expects. Confirm the exact rules and any recent points changes to Tzaangors before you build a list.
What the formation does
Each time a friendly Warflock (Tzaangor) unit uses the Rally command, it makes extra rally rolls — reported as three additional D6 — dramatically increasing how many slain models you return. This turns large Tzaangor blocks into resilient, self-healing anchors.
Who it suits
Players who prefer a mortal, more melee-oriented Tzeentch army over a pure daemon list, and who like durable board presence. It's a good fit if you own a lot of Tzaangors and want them to hold ground.
Key units
- Tzaangors (Warflock) as the horde battleline core
- Tzaangor Enlightened and Tzaangor Skyfires as elite hitters
- Arcanite support heroes (Changecaster, Fatemaster, Magister) to buff and cast
- A Greater Daemon or two can still anchor the magic phase
When to pick it
Pick Tzaangor Coven for attritional, objective-holding games where staying power wins the mission. It's strong when you can force the opponent to grind through a Tzaangor block that keeps rallying models back.
Common questions
Why does the Rally boost matter so much?
Returning several extra models each turn effectively heals your infantry blocks, letting them hold objectives and tie up enemies far longer. Over a full game that recycled resilience can be worth more than raw damage.
Are Tzaangors still worth taking after recent points changes?
Tzaangors saw points adjustments in 2026 Battlescroll updates, so their value shifts by season. Check the current General's Handbook and Battle Profiles to judge whether the block size you want is still efficient.
