doubledragon Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Sonnia is slow. I'm going to have to work on learning how to get around this. I like to get around this by bringing Francisco along. Give him the "Hermanos De Armas" upgrade. He then gains a (0) action which he can use to push friendly models 5"'s away into base contact. So he starts his activation in base contact with Sonnia, gives Sonnia +2 to DF and WP, then walks 5" to where you want and pushes Sonnia into base contact. Francisco also helps you get around Sonnia's other weakness - ML. If Sonnia is engaged in ML, just use Francisco's "Confront Me!" on the target, Sonnia then pushes out of ML. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I usually bring Judge with her. Same reasons, but he can make the Stalkers do attacks to get Burning around. But wait, you say: How does the Judge get her out of melee? Well, I took a page out of dgraz' book and use Samael for that. Doesn't happen often that Judge needs to lend a hand.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirial Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 It's not that great for getting stuff out from engagements because of that icon. Well, it works, if only two models are engaged, and all you care about is ending the engagement. Still, not as great as Enfrentate a Mi, but doesn't cost an AP either.

MasterDisaster Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well I had my game last night. The game was a very close one right up until the end. Had it not been extended to turn 6 the result would have been different! That's how close it was right up until the end. Standard Deployment - Reconnoiter ALiTS Assassinate Bodyguard Distract Outflank My list Sonnia -- 7 Pool +Cherufe's Imprint [1] +Counterspell Aura [1] +Reincarnation [1] Francisco Ortega [8] +Wade In [1] Freikorps Specialist [9] <--- Got my Merc in!! Guild Austringer [6] Samael Hopkins [9] Witchling Stalker [5] Witchling Stalker [5] Bodyguard Francisco, Entourage Samael His list Kirai Ankoku -- 7 Pool +Absorb Spirit [1] +Swirling Aether [2] Lost Love [4] Datsue Ba [8] +Spirit Beacon [1] Flesh Construct [6] Izamu the Armor [10] Night Terror [3] Night Terror [3] Yin the Penangalan [8] Assassinate, Distract The game was just horrible for me. I learnt why I stopped playing Sonnia all over again. I really do not get on with her play style, she's too slow, melts like butter in combat and has no easy way of escaping it, summoning is always a trap for me, 7ss and 6 cards per turn never feels like enough and I can never decide what the hell to do with her. I spent 90% of the game defending my own half of the board from his retardedly high number of summons which were constantly being healed. At least Sonnia didn't blow up this time though! In the end though here's the score breakdown Sonnia +4 Reconnoiter, +2 Bodyguard, +1 Entourage Kirai +4 Reconnoiter, +1 Distract, +3 Assassinate 8 - 7 to Kirai. (Would have been a draw but he bagged one point for Distract on Turn 6 ) Lessons learned? 1) My friend Joe may have not played Malifaux properly in months but he hasn't lost any of his tactical know how, he's still a sneaky dick resser. He just needs brushing up on the rules. 2) I've been playing Assassinate wrong for a while! 3) SCREW SONNIA!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetorDragoon Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Sonnia +4 Reconnoiter, +2 Bodyguard, +1 Entourage Kirai +4 Reconnoiter, +1 Distract, +3 Assassinate 8 - 7 to Kirai.

Sounds like a hell of a close game. 1) Never understimate a Resser. 2) How did you play Assassinate then? Kinda interested. 3) Indeed!

Kinda interested. 3) Indeed! It really was! Our games always come right down to the wire. 1) Tell me about it, it's been a long time since I've faced Kirai and so I wasn't 100% sure of the tricks she had up her sleeve. 2) For some dumb ass reason I'd misread it and assumed it was 3 VP for kills on or before turn 3, turn 4 onwards would be 2 VP. Alas this is not the case, it's 3 VP for kills on turn 4 or earlier. So yeah... noob moment right there. Too be fair though Sonna just about tanked Izamu for 2 turns thanks to Absorb Magic but when a Shikome was thrown at her as well it all went down kill. 3) Really don't like playing her, I doubt I will again. Just another Master on the list of "Want to like but can't" You made your choice. Now your stuck with Guild. Well that was only because they offered a sweeter deal than you guys.
