NickDub Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I am planning on using this list sometime before M3E but looking at the list, I am curious if Grimwell's 4" push is really required anymore, could spend 9ss elsewhere? Just looking for thoughts/opinions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might be stuck in melee: no worries, get her out of melee and then chain activate to blast everything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any variations they use per specific Scheme/Strats? Or is the ultimate goal to destroy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've always read Duncan's destroys everything and then he schemes what he can XD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was initially thinking of a witchling handler only for the burning aura and applying expert slueth or 2x witchling stalkers, they can companion and each drop a marker to push sonnia 6" total. May risk pushing sonnias activation to late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tors Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Investigator and Grimwell allows for 7" push into chain activation. Thats pretty nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is playing to win, he kills everything turns 1-2, maybe into turn 3. Then he scores whatever points he needs after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cueball Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 What does the list look like? Anything involving taking models off the table sounds fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything involving taking models off the table sounds fun Something like this, don't know if he has tweaked it more since then. 50 SS Guild Crew Sonnia Criid + 5 Pool - Cherufe's Imprint (1) - Counterspell Aura (1) - Cherufes Parting Gift (1) Malifaux Child (3) Dr. Grimwell (9) - Expert Sleuth (1) Francisco Ortega (8) - Wade In (1) - Hermanos de Armas (1) Papa Loco (7) - Numb To The World (1) Guild Investigator (6) Watcher (4) Brutal Effigy (4) The investigator and Francisco pushes her and Francisco + Loco buffs her. Don't remember the intricates of activation order. You keep her somethat safe and Grimwell does the last push. It is pretty tricky to stay safe from it since Grimwell will push her the last bit needed and she can chain activate after he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perfect thank you, does the watcher scheme or set it's self up for LOS turn 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on the board and what the opponent does. It's a nice other los route. As long as you can hit lots of things and cheat the damage, the list is happy.

I heard somewhere about a student of conflict to give Sonnia fast first turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had heard that too, Its definitely going all in on the alpha strike but I guess you are happy to sac the student for the flame as there is no way the student will keep up with Sonia.

Yup, that is what you are supposed to do. You alpha, burn and kill as much as you can, then you summon a flame and use it to tie the best model you can that you couldn't kill.
