I have been starting to toy with Somer as a badass instead of as a summoner. I like it. While he is not a specialized combat expert he is pretty darned good all around. I am discovering the he can beat down other masters (not all obviously, but a fair amount) and most models have a healthy fear of him. This is a hugely overlooked aspect of him. Df6 and a great trigger make him survivable, Dirty cheater lets him stay healthy, Bayou two card lets him keep cheating (and healing with Dirty Cheater). Anyway, it is all pretty amazing and I'll probably be giving my opponents a break from the summon engine for a bit.
