A basic 1 spell/unbind Wizard, with awful Save, but you can kill one Darkling Coven at 3" to give her +2 to cast for the turn. Her usefulness lays in her unique spell, which at 7+ to cast, deals a unit at 16" a mortal wound, and gives it -1 to hit rolls until your next Hero phase. This can be better (mortal wound aside) than using Mystic Shield on one of your units (especially since Mystic Shield only gives rerolls of 1 to Save now) because it will turn off abilities of the unit that make something on a hit roll of 6+. Also, it's better if you are attacking a big unit with some of yours because it will affect all of its attacks, even if it splits them between your units. To top it off, if you sacrifice one of your models, you cast it on 5+, and the sacrifice will be offset because of the mortal wound you deal with the unit, very nice. Just be wary that you'll have to take Battleshock for the unit with the sacrificed model because all losses count.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-sorceress-en.pdf Sorceress]:''' Much better than she seems.

Basic infantry stats, two-rank attacks because of 2" spear range, and re-roll saves of 1 and 2 in combat. They also get bonuses to hit with 20+ models, and if they didn't move the last turn. Not bad, not great, but as defensive units (because they're better it they don't move) they can be good, especially in cover. Useful to do the 300 things and guard some narrow pass between two impassable pieces of terrain.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-dreadspears-en.pdf Dreadspears]:''' ''Counts as Battleline.''

Better base To Hit roll, but no extra bonuses. Each hit of 6+ gets you a new attack, and with 20+ models instead you get it on 5+, so they make 1/3 extra attacks, which generates new attacks. If you manage to give them +1 to hit with something they can be good, but they'll never be truly killy. Like it usually happened in real life with soldiers equipped with swords, they aren't particularly great at anything, but also not particularly bad at anything. In offense or defense they'll do the job, but don't expect marvels of them.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-bleakswords-en.pdf Bleakswords]:''' ''Counts as Battleline.''
