Games Workshop - Warhammer Underworlds: Beastgrave - Morgweath's Blade-Coven

Product Information

This would be really tempting in a world where Pit Trap didn’t exist, and might gain some interest once it rotates out. As it is, it’s a risky card with big payoff, but praying for Crits isn’t always the most reliable ways to get damage. Rapturous Defence is great if you really, really, really value Kyrssa and Lethyr and desperately need them alive. The style for these ladies is likely going to be something like Flex Aggro, trying to score some passive cards early for upgrades before sending in your squishy fighters on suicide missions. They could try to play partially into a Hold Objective style, as they have high speed and five fighters, so they could potentially play around with things like Swift Capture or Hidden Purpose, especially with Kyrae sitting on an Objective and using her long range. Perfect Precision is a gambit Awakened Weapon. Not as strong as Fuelled by Fury but still a great aggro faction card to have access to. Rerolls are good. I’d rather this be a Reaction, as it can end up wasted, but you have enough effects that trigger off of Crits that using this before an important Charge is excellent.

MORGWAETH THE BLOODIED D S N U 5 5+ AV O E W B RAV M OVE S 6 MORGWAETH THE BLOODIED D S N U 5 5+ AV O E W B RAV

Kyrae Inspired has her Heartseeker Bow go to 3 smash while also gaining Cleave on top of Ensnare! Her Sacrificial Knife goes to 3 fury and damage increases to 2 which makes her more formidable in close combat. Inspiring Kyrae is a great option if done via Morgwaeth’s Sacrament of Blood ability as Kyrae Inspired is a menace at ranged combat while still being a threat up-close due to her improved Sacrificial Knife. Abundance of Caution is great if you like going on guard. Fairly decent but only for elite warbands. This is very matchup dependent. It’s a great one Glory card against swarm Warbands, but against anything Elite, this is basically a dead card early on, and still hard to score later. I am totally new to Warhammer Underwordls, but I have invested in Morgwaeths Bloodcoven. I have red through some forums and did also buy the cards of Rippas Snarlfangs.

Morgwaeth’s Blade Coven

Kyrae and Morgwaeth are your best fighters, and this just lets them capitalize on killing. Great, even if it might be difficult early on before Inspiration effects. Shadeglass Band allows you the ability to harness the power of crits. Amazing for me. Not so much for everyone else. Potentially advantageous to mass ranged fighters like Thundrik’s Profiteers but still quite a niche use. Devoted Disciple is another exceptionally reliable 1 glory end phase objective that you can easily score with some simple planning. Goes well with Calculated Risk and the abundance of lethal hexes. Morgwaeth’s Blade-Coven is a 5 fighter warband that consists of: Morgwaeth the Bloodied, Kyrae, Khamyss, Kyrssa, and Lethyr. Each miniature is a highly detailed Daughter of Khaine warrior equipped with the standard lethal bladed weaponry they’re known for along with hardly any armour at all which befits their agile nature. They’re also Warhammer Underworlds’ first fully female warband with a snake-aelf! My favourite miniature from the warband has to be Morgwaeth. She looks great and really stands out from the normal Hag Queen with her raised chalice and lengthy spear. I just love how everything is flowing in the same direction while she stands triumphantly a top some ruins. The ‘Eavy Metal team has really pushed the ball out of the park with their paintjob, truly beautiful work.

Triumphant Stance is a great Dual objective. Almost a faction Uncontested. Amazing against aggro opponents but still not too hard to achieve.

When will my order arrive?

Upon inspiring Kyrssa gains a movement characteristic of 5 and a dodge characteristic of 2. Nothing else changes meaning she’s not a priority to inspire and a fighter I would deploy furthest away from friendly fighters, aka the fighter you deploy which you can’t really keep safe. If she can score some early damage with crits, that’s great. Otherwise don’t expect her to do too much.

Warband Focus: Morgwaeth’s Blade-coven - Warhammer Community

Now we move onto the universal card aspect of the warband review where I look at and rate the universal cards that come with Morgwaeth’s Bladecoven. She is armed with a Glaive of Khaine. [1] Quotes Relish the look in their eyes, the panic as they grasp the magnitude of their error. Relish it, then strike. Khaine - Morathi - Scáthborn - Hagg Nar - Magic ( Lore of Shadows - Blood Magic) - Faith ( Prayers of the Khainite Cult - Miracles of Khaine - Invocation of Khaine) While this isn’t the strongest Weapon Upgrade in the game, it’s not a bad one by any means, and sometimes having the Heal can save your fighter. You probably don’t take it over Amberbone weapons, but it’s a neat alternative.Lethyr is our next Witch Aelf. She has the exact same profile as Kyrssa except does no additional damage. Nothing too big to write about until we get to her inspired side. Morgwaeth Inspired goes up to damage 3 with her Glaive of Khaine and gets her movement characteristic boosted to 5. With this she becomes a boosted Skritch Spiteclaw thanks to her permanent Cleave. She retains her Sacrament of Blood ability while inspired too. You basically want her inspired as early as possible for that 3 base damage unless you have glory to make her do more damage or are fighting weaker opponents. Your fighters gain a lot from Inspiration, and this lets you get those boosts early before relying on kills. I’m not sure it’s a required take, as it loses usefulness the later you draw it (and is patently useless in Turn 3), but Inspiring Morgwaeth on top of 1 is a pretty amazing boost. Raf: I can’t see not taking this card honestly, and would probably consider a mulligan if I don’t see it.

Blade-Coven (Warhammer Underworlds) - Rogue Games Morgweath’s Blade-Coven (Warhammer Underworlds) - Rogue Games

Absolute Stillness is quite difficult to pull off if you’re not Thorns of the Briar Queen. Still, if you can invest in the push cards and run a lot of Quarry cards it’s very tasty for 2 glory as an end phase objective. There are too many restrictions. Against some enemies, this is amazing. But, it requires the enemy to be Range 1, it requires a dice roll, it requires you to not die…the only upside is that it can be used any number of times, unlike Gambits that have similar effects. Still, I think it’s not the best card for an Upgrade slot. Bloodbane Venom is amazing if you’re me. You have a 42.1% chance of doing at least 1 damage to opponent. For the brave or crit-empowered. It’s also a Poison card though which is a nice addition.Morgwaeth’s Blade-Coven are a 5 fighter warband which puts them in the middle of not having too many fighters but also not have too few. 4 is still the perfect number in my books but 5 fighter warbands usually end up having at least 1 fighter exposed to early charges from the start of the game. Like most warbands, Morgwaeth’s Blade coven (generally) share a movement value of 4 uninspired while all defending with dodges. The whole warband also inspires when it is the 3 rd round of a game. This has downsides but it makes them the only warband with a truly guaranteed inspiration mechanic no matter what happens during a game. Sweet Sacrifice is a great Surge aggro objective which Morgweath’s Bladecoven have in abundance. Basically have Morgwaeth kill someone. Kyrae can score it too, just not with her Heartseeker Bow which adds some nice redundancy in case Morgwaeth dies early. Kyrae is a Blood Stalker Krone and armed with her Heartseeker Bow. This has a massive range of 4, 3 fury, 1 damage and has Ensnare too! She also has a Sacrificial Knife which is range 1, 2 fury and 1 damage. Unlike her other Bladecoven, Kyrae starts with a movement characteristic of 5 and has a wounds characteristic of 3 as well as having a dodge characteristic of 2. This all makes her fast and durable which synergises well with what the warband wants to do in terms of objectives and weakening enemy fighters from afar for easier kills. Test of Courage. How fare would you go for 2 glory? Amazing objective. Can score this with no damage taken if you flip feature tokens friendly fighters are standing on. Either way, it’s a great way for some reliable end phase 2 glory.
