Thoughts on Kovnik Apprentice Kratikoff
Sorscha0 in a Nutshell
Kovnik Apprentice Kratikoff is Boundless Charge on a stick and as such, she is all about threat extention. Since Boundless is not an upkeep it can be stacked with any other movement buffs your actual warcaster can provide. She also provides concealment via Fog of War for some protection against shooting. Additionally, she keeps your Winter Guard on their feet and, most importantly, runs a jack for you.
Combos & Synergies
Sorscha0 is a buffbot that hands out benefits to jacks and Winter Guard alike that can be futher stacked with other buffs from solos or Casters.
- Her No Sleeping ability combines nicely with Kovnik Jozef's ability to hand out tough.
- Fog of War is great to keep models alive on the way in. It stacks nicely with spells such as Iron Flesh on the units you want protected.
- Butcher1 and Old Witch1 both hand out Iron Flesh.
- Since it is not upkept on them, Fog of War is one of the rare buffs for Doom Reavers. You'll have to play out of theme though.
- Butcher1 and Old Witch1 both hand out Iron Flesh.
- Old Witch1 also especially benefits from Fog of War since it triggers her Prowl and Apparition and Gallows can act as a pseudo threat extender on top of Boundless.
- Any caster with movement buffs will apprechiate the extra 2" from Boundless since it can, depending on the caster, push threat ranges to ludicrous levels. There include:
- Harkevich with Mobility.
- Butcher3 with Energizer, Vengeance and Impending Doom.
- Irusk2 also with Energizer.
- Malakov2 with Escort also his sneak battle plan stacks nicely with Fog of War.
- Kozlov with his feat and he himslf has Sidestep
- Karchev's Road to War.
- Strakhov1 with his feat, Superiority and Overrun.
- Irusk1 also with Superiority
- Strakhov2 with Quicken.
- Jacks in WGK can also have Advance Deployment which up their threat ranges yet again.
- Note that Juggernauts will threaten the furthest out of any Khador jack.
- Malakov1 forms quite the dynamic duo with her in either theme, since they can stack Redline and Boundless on any targetable jack without any input from your caster.
Sorscha0's battlegroup
- A Rager is a cheap shield guard. Which is what every journeyman loves.
- The Berserker is the cheapest jack you can put on her if you want to save points.
- Beast-09 can actually be taken in Winter Guard Kommand under her.
Drawbacks & Downsides
She's essentially just a buffbot and as such contributes little to the fight herself. You'll have to keep her far back.
Tricks & Tips
Her control range with Fog of War is not that large. Which might be good since there's less danger to conceal your enemies models.
