Returning from 1e question about totem for Sonnia

[Vanor]

I picked up Malifaux back sometime in 1e... In fact I looked and my last post here was nearly 6 years ago.  So I'm really a newbie again, and even back then I didn't get to play much.

I was thinking about getting back into the game, with m2e and when I was digging around my mini boxes I found my old crew Sonnia crew that was assembled and primed and that was about it, I got one witchling painted.  I ordered the Guild wave 1 Arsenal box from Wargame vault print on demand.

What I don't have however is the totem for her.  I was wondering how important that is.  I'm not having much luck finding just the totem for sale even on ebay and I don't really want to spend $45 for the same crew... So if not having it isn't a big deal I won't worry about it too much.  If it is then I'll keep looking for try to find something that I could use instead.

The totem is pretty blah.  Some people like it, but generally you're probably better off with just picking up the Malifaux Child.  The ability to throw up a second flame wall is very very powerful.

Thanks,

I'll see about getting the Child that or perhaps just try and find a generic skeleton of some sort I can use.

The Child has uses with a few Masters across Factions (mostly for the same wall shenanigans that Sonnia would take it for) so I would recommend getting it and using it as a proxy for the Flame should you ever feel the need.

I honestly don't really see the Flame's appeal.

Maybe it would seem interesting if you were a moth and attracted to bright lights? I don't know.
