Pros and Cons of taking a Haemoculi Coven army ?

Pro: Nasty extremely durable multi wound units and nasty leadership shenanigans, on top of that you get a tun 1 deepstrike formation with 2 venoms : D

Con: Most builds are expensive both in points and in money.

The Coven formations are great. But you have to like the look of them.

Pros: fun theme, cool intricate models, interesting tactically and moderately strong.

Cons: holes in army (no anti air for instance), limited to 6 model choices often bores people, expensive money wise.

Pros: Durable when talking about DE faction, fully embraces the Coven aspect, unique PfP table that benefits them a lot, tactical dimension not found elsewhere

Cons: Little AA without allies, little selection of models, as fast as marines in combat, grotesques either need a lot of conversion work or bare dollar to build, cc orientated in a shooting edition

Thanks for the replies I'm building a Dark Eldar army and I was interested in in the Haemonculi coven aspect I'm gonna get the codex for the coven but they seem quite fun to play! Thanks for your help it's been good

Note, when I say fast as marines in combat that's not necessarily a bad thing since a lot of armies are equal or slower to marines. But Eldar forces normally strike first being I5, so you've got a higher chance of losing models against the SM in combat.
