Coven (long version):
- The Witch Coven of Garlghast is made up of Helleana, Morgaen, and Selene.
- The Coven shares a single focus pool, and Coven models do not receive focus individually. The Coven's base FOCUS is three times the number of models in the Coven that are in play. When the Coven replenishes its focus, the Egregore receives those focus points. The Coven's control range is measured from the Egregore. Any Coven model in the Coven's control range can spend focus points on the Egregore. Effects that reduce or remove focus never affect the Egregore.
- The Coven can use its feat only once. The Coven counts as a single warcaster when calculating Field Allowance. The Coven can have up to one attached model, which is attached to the Coven, not to an individual model in the Coven. The Covern can have only one of each of its upkeep spells in play at any time.
| Coven - An incredibly wordy rule. Short version: (1) The witches are separate warcasters with separate activations but they count as a single warcaster for most effects (number of attachments, upkeeps, FA, etc); (2) They share a single focus pool that 'resides' on Egregore and is equal to 3x the number of witches in play; (3) Their control range is measured from Egregore; (4) Egregore can't be affected by 'focus-reducing' abilities.

Rules Clarification : Coven (Edit)
- The most important thing
- Although the Coven are considered a single warcaster for FA, focus pool, etc, they act as 4 independent models with 4 separate activations.
- Each witch can cast spells during their own activation.
- You can activate other parts of your army in between activating witches.
- With abilities that heal "the warcaster" (such as the Corruptor's Distillation), you choose one witch to benefit. The heal doesn't get divided up between them. (Infernal Ruling)
- If the Egregore is hit by something that "steals" focus (such as Energy Siphon) then Egregore doesn't lose any focus, but the attacker will gain a focus/fury anyway. (Infernal Ruling)
- The Withershadow Combine can be attached to the Coven. (Infernal Ruling)
- If the Withershadow Combine is attached, and any of the Witches have Admonia in their control range, the whole Witch Coven can upkeep 1 spell. The Coven can only benefit from Black Arts once - if three Witches have Admonia in their control range, they will only upkeep 1 spell for free. (Infernal Ruling)
- The Witches all use the same battlegroup and are all part of the same battlegroup and are part of each other's battlegroup. (Infernal Ruling)
- The specific Witch that casts an upkeep spell does not matter for "who" upkeeps it, and if the witch that casts an upkeep dies that spell does not go away (unless all of the witches are destroyed). (Infernal Ruling)
- If the Coven takes Madelyn Corbeau, all three witches can be affected by Parlay at the same time. Egregore is unaffected because he is not a warcaster. (Infernal Ruling)
- The Coven cannot get focus from a Misery Cage at all. Egregore can't take tokens from the cage because he is only a solo. RAW, a witch could get a focus token (and then be unable to spend it because they can only spend focus which is on Egregore, not on themselves) but it was ruled even that can't happen. (Infernal Ruling)
- Coven & Steamroller 2017
- Killbox is triggered if 1 or more witches is within 12" of your own table edge.
If more than one witch is in the wrong place then your opponent only scores 2 CP, not 2 CP per witch.
- Each witch can each control a separate scenario element simultaneously, as they are each a warcaster model.
- Egregore is a solo, so it can control flags and contest zones.
