Cranky Old Man Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Writing lists for new Sonnia and i keep coming back to the thralls, I will always take a Handler. This makes it tempting to take a second thrall. Problem stones and what else i can get for the crew. one or two thralls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Why the always take a Handler? I'd almost go for the second Thrall over the Handler. That 3/5/7 dg is just soooo good! My usual list looks something like this: Ravencrot - Unmasked (Guild) Size: 50 - Pool: 3 Leader: Sonnia Criid, Unmasked Totem(s): Purifying Flame Hires: Samael Hopkins Thalarian Queller 2 Sanctioned Spellcaster 3 Witchling Handler Witchling Thrall Witchling Thrall 2 Orderly Plenty fast and plenty hitty. It's done the job for me in the past. Lots of flex if you want to bunch/gunline up more by subbing Sam & Spellcaster out for Guild Mages/Spelleaters/Hexbows. Witch Hunters really has so many options now, you can really cater your crew to what you want to achieve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Old Man Posted July 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 @Da Giti like the list. The reason I always take a handler is they are pretty good and the boosts to thralls is great. Plus another way of getting burning out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Handlers are great, however, I wouldn't call them an always take. Especially if I'm only running 1 Thrall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap heal Quick - Mv6 & Creep Along Hold Down trigger for more Sonnia shots (lots of other guns too) Good schemer for the bubble - with Sonnia enemies will have conditions - Burn! Ties people up with Clingy Kind of tough - HtW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Old Man Posted July 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 .Played a game vs Kaeris and it was a tie 6 all. Karelia and Elijah is all he has left and I had only lost Samael. I’m thinking about what to change in my list. Samael just hasn’t impressed me. The thrall and handler are a good combo and I took a queller to remove conditions, fire golem especially. I had taken vendetta on the golem with the thrall but I had got him down to a few health left and I just had to bite the bullet and kill him. Thrall was on the wrong side of the board, the golem can move. Fast!. Spelleaters were really good but I think I will take only one for the time being. I really missed a good beater. Sonnia was great but I found confiscated lore to be a trap. I used it every turn and I don’t think it’s worth the ap every round. I think the first 2 turns might be enough. The purifying flame is great. We played carve a path and I chose vendetta and load ‘‘em up. Got 3 strat point, 2 for load ‘‘em up and one for vendetta. My opponent had vendetta which he got full points for and 2 for load ‘em up and 2 strat points. The gg3 scheme and strats are very different and will take a few games to get used to.

admiralvorkraft Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Sonnia Unmasked has a ton of flexibility but it comes at the cost of raw power. You're right that Confiscated Lore isn't always the right first action (though it often is). You really have to figure out what pressure points she leans on in a given turn.

I'm struggling to use them well in my (admittedly limited so far) games with Sonnia. Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to use them well in my (admittedly limited so far) games with Sonnia. Many thanks in advance I use him as a cheap model to do schemes or generate AP. He's useful paired with Sammy on a flank. He can activate and get fast, move up and give Sammy a model to Creep Along to. That said, he's the first model to be dropped if I need to. Kept reasonably well hidden, he's surprisingly tough to remove for 4ss. Especially for another schemer. If he hits he can also do decent damage over time with the Burning. Sammy can then finish them off. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 There are also times when the discard-to-cheat aura is game changing. And sometimes a chump model with 3ap can lock in a point and swing a game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
