First was against my Beastmen list under my friends control. I have played better games of warhammer I can tell you that much but I managed to squeek a win thanks to the Throne and Killing Blow.
Black Knights and Vampire Lord charged the 206 and the gor horde while Coven Throne pile drived into some bestigor. Now I knew right away this was a mistake as S6 Bestigor with Beastlord hurts as they are normally LD10... But my buddy had taken flaming banner so I was in luck. I chose which combat to work out first and managed to crump the BSB with a well placed killing blow lance :lol: . Then it was the Throne turn and the vampires and handmaidens managed to tear the beastlord a new one, killing him stone dead :happy:. Bestigors then attacked me... Or tried to, you see they failed by 7 and thanks to Primal Fury and S6 they killed well over half the unit and I ran them down. Win Coven Throne and the VC.
Game two was against the Dark Elves from hell, and while it was a far more boring game the Coven Throne managed to cream 40 witches on its lonesome. It was a easier game than the beastmen (cookie cutter DE do not really scare me at all) and I managed to pull a massive win. Getting LD 10, Dark Majesty and hitting LD 7-8 models is just epic with the throne, and hatred/primal fury/ poisen is just gravy.

Count Darvaleth said:Wouldn't the Coven Throne work great synergy with the Nightshroud? Seeing as the base is so big, everyone trying to attack you will be ASL and losing their weapon benefits. White Lions would throw a real tantrum.
EDIT: Goddamit Yorga, every time I see one of your posts I have to stop and look for a little while.
