Jesy Blue Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Okay, so not counting McMourning, what are the things you can summon in The Guild? There's Captain Dashel's once a turn Guild Guard, there's the Pathfinder's creation of a Clockwork Trap, and Sonnia can conditionally resummon her totem. Are there any other minor Guild Summoning tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adran Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Sonnia can summon Witchling stalkers with the reincarnate upgrade Bringing in Beasts, Myranda can summon arcanist beasts and the Spawn mother can summon gupps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Lucius can hire vogel who "summons" the beast within. But yeah, It's not a strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legislat Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Well, i did try Sonnia with Dashel list and it was suprisingly fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Sonnia and a handler can summon two witchlings off a single kill if the model is burning and the handlerkills it with the tome trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all know noone has ever played a handler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall78 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I have found Sonnia summoning never to work. Either not close enough, not enough cards, not enough soul stones or no burning on a target when it is killed. To get it off you have to make sure the target has burning so if you don't have cards in hand you are burning a stone for a tome on the first attack. Then you are focusing for the second attack. Likely burning 2 cards to add to Ca actions and possibly another 2 to summon... ya ends up being a costly endeavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 My mate runs mostly thematic Sonnia crews and he often summons with her. He always runs a queller so he gets a card when he stones for the tome. Usually the effigy as well so each kill she makes she gets one card back. You won't be summoning 5+ models per game but he uusually gets to summon something. He does a lot of just straight unfocused attacks, the likelyhood of weak on a single negative isn't as sure as Iused to think. The new upgrade to her melee makes her ml auto add burning and since people usually try to tie her up in melee that might come in handy. Chain activation from the other new upgrade is also handy for making sure they don't remove it before something finishes it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who often summoned 4+ witchlings a game whilst winning them (often due to the 2 for 1 activation swaps that summoning a witchling stalker gave him). If you want it to work you need to know what to target and when to target them. Just like Levis abomination summoning. Often you can let the model dies to something else during the turn, Sonnia doesn't need to kill it herself. It can even die to the burning condition in the end phase.

My last game I hit with my sword twice, then Frank chain activated in doing min 5. That is a significant bit of damage, which could feed the summons train too. I summoned a flame, but it literally hurt me more than it helped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathinabox Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 McCabe summons Dismounted McCabe, technically speaking. A Domador can bring an abomination which can summon other abominations, or guild autopsies which can summon mindless zombies. Gupps can summon silurids. Hoffman can port in Steam Arachnids which summon Swarms. Basically most of the guild summons are actually ported in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Anna Lovelace is a merc and she can summon zombies or spirit-puppies from her attacks I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you put handlers on the table now btw? I think they look really interesting at 7ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the other day with sonnia and liked it. It has a synergy with reincarnate because the limitation and the bubble are the same size. Her speed and higher def is nice in a crew that normally lacks that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchrisobrien Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I used to play her fairly often with Sonnia, even at 8 stones. I like her little movement tricks, and they are great looking models. She is also surprisingly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact UK Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Never had much trouble summoning with Sonnia, Handler pops up “Burn Them, Burn Them All” then send burning Raptor shots from an Austringer. Remembering that Stalkers also have Searing Mark and Hopkins can take Witch Hunt if you still think you do not have enough burning going on. Never had an issue with taking Handlers at 8ss, always been worth every soulstone in my games but now at 7ss I am going to have a little more leeway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
