Thanks for the specifics on Sonnia related info there, really appreciate it! From a personal opinion level I would have to disagree that there isn't a right way to run models. With just under 25 years of miniature tabletop wargaming experience I can tell you for certain there is a right way to run a model lol. Each model or unit definitely has a key aspect, tactic, strategy associated with it even if that is just being a jack of all trades who is not great at any one thing. A model in every game always plays better when you use its abilities as intended. That's not to say you can't play it HOWEVER you choose, there is definitely tried and true strategies and play styles, especially for older crews / leaders that have already been found to play more consistent than others. So I figure why not ask about what works typically than having to grind out 50 games to figure it out? I understand that Malifaux offers the strategy and the flexibility of locking in your list after certain key aspects of the mission / game are decided. This is cool but since I have a very specific model list to play from it is easier to ask for specifics, for example how do you like to upgrade Sonnia for X scheme etc. Stuff such as the ability to target and kill your own minion to create fresh new Witchling etc. Little tricks like this that are not intuitive until your 20th game. Just be nice to pick the brains of Guild players especially people who are very comfortable with Sonnia for neat little interactions. I understand the game doesn't cater to X list always type mentality I was looking for more of the combo or tactical tips. I mainly just put my list up to show people what I would be working with.

Thanks, any tips on actually running Sonnia and upgrade options and stuff like that? I want to learn with the crew that I'm intending on running for most of my games to start. Minor additions or substitution likes the ones I mentioned. I'm not worried about find the games, group or demo. Its there when I want it I just literally haven't gotten around to it seeing that I ordered the models 2 days ago and picked up my Rulebook yesterday. I just want to hit the ground running and the upgrades are not exactly clear to me from what I have read and is the easiest way to flex / change the leaders tactics from what I can see.

Good afternoon everyone! So figured I would just through this up, I finally committed to trying some Malifaux after years of taunting and abuse from my gaming club. I pretty much play anything and everything EXCEPT this game lol... Anyways so after a little research and a TON of back and forth I settled on the guild mainly cause they looked easier than the rest of the factions and aesthetically they were pretty sweet. Be advised I have not even completely read the rule book, not knowing what over 90% of these abilities power are and having not played even a demo game yet this is my first 50 SS crew that I was going to learn with. Please any advice, tips, tricks, tactics etc.. greatly appreciated. Please let me know if it just looks bad or the do's and don'ts of Guild. Leader: Sonnia Henchmen: Francisco Ortega and The Judge Enforces: Witchling Handler and Santiago Ortega Minions: Witchling Stalker x2 So I have 10 SS left and I assume I'm going to want some of those upgrades, no clue whats good or not. I feel like I saw a must take on Sonnia somewhere but cant find it now. I also read that its good to have a ton of SS on her for spending? If not I was considering and would really like to play either a Monster Hunter, that model looks so sweet. Maybe a 3rd Witchling stalker, or perhaps the Malifaux Child?! I'm really struggling with the upgrades particularly so any help here would be SUPER appreciated. Thanks in advance and please remember I am about as green as they come so I probably won't understand typical short hand, slang or terms that other veteran Malifaux players might so baby steps lol.

Yeah I read a lot of back and forth about purifying flame just not being good as having the raw soul stones to spend on her..

Can you give any tips on Sonnia? I read some people don’t even take a totem when running her. How did she do for you at GenCon?

Great write up! Congrats on finishing 2nd.. having literally purchased two Guild starter boxes 2 days ago and never even playing a demo I appreciate the number crunchers in all games where you are talking about manipulating the deck to try and stack it for next turns flips etc. A layer of tactical play I hope to get on someday. I was looking into running a Sonnia list myself and would be interested to hear any tips, tricks, loadouts and crew suggestions you have or ran with at GenCon or even just casually. It sounds like you really know your way around the Guild competitively lol..

Bumping because I just picked up a this box finally and would really love to hear how people are using her lately! Any and all current tactical/ relevant info greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I’ll check them out for sure if GenCon doesn’t hook it up.

I heard from my friends that are getting me into Malifaux that they tend to bring promos back for events and holidays sometimes.. guess I’ll just wait.. Now to find a Queen’s Return Crew box for sale lol.. sold out everywhere. Go figure I finally bite the bullet and the crew / leader that has my interest is impossible to find right now. Thanks for the tip though, guess it’s just a waiting game now..

Want to buy The Neverborn Queen Titania Alternate Promo sculpt. Looking for NiB or built unpainted. Thanks!
