The Book of Sudema

[Tornado]

That is how we always played it but we had 'statue figures' to replace the originals.
We had an amazing Warhammer20k figure to replace Q9.

Seems like a fun idea! I'll hafta try it sometime.

Seems legit. The Magic: Arena of the Planeswalkers set has tiny little wound markers that could easy fit on Heroscape bases. You could use those.

I just played
Sudema
Raelin
Guilty
Dividers x5

against an army of
Q9
Venoc Warlord
Vipers x5

I thought the viper/Q9 army would win, but that wasn't the case. Vipers killed Guilty and about two squads of Dividers before slashed into extinction. I stupidly moved Raelin up and she died to Queglix in a couple turns. Dividers survived a forward advance so they could engage the mean solborg. From then, I juggled OMs between Dividers and Sudema until she was in a good position. I played on Fulcrum, so Sudema had height and bushes to give her 5 defense. (Who needs Raelin again?) Sudema rolled a 20 on the third or fourth try and the Major was turned to stone. I think this army really showcases where Sudema can shine. She had a good screen and basically Raelin the entire game and killed a more than huge threat. Granted, this won't happen every game, but in this army I bet she'd do decent in most games not against PKs or other stealth fliers.

Since their power works against SAs, I'd say Dividers would make a good screen for her.

That did come up quite a bit. (Well, I guess it was only once or twice, but they mattered to me, okay?)

Bringing this thread back up again to talk about my experience with Sudema (Anagram for Medusa, I see what you did there Hasbro!) I pretty much slotted her into a tournament winning list by replacing Q9 and switching ROTV Raelin for SOTM Raelin and gave it to a newer player. His list was:

3x Rats 120
Krav 100
Raelin SOTM 120
Sudema 140
Marcu 20
500

I played a list that I enjoy quite a bit:
3x Glads 240
2x Blasts 120
Major Q10 150

We basically had our line of engagement in the center of the board with his rats and my Gladiatrons. He moved out Sudema and managed to get 2 Glads, which opened a hole in my lines. By focusing on Sudema, he took out Major Q10 with 1 life left and then she was shot to bits by the Blasts.

I feel like Sudema is a very sharky shark and in a list that is already successful, she can slot in and be successful, as well. She might also make a decent cleanup figure, where her power will clear out a larger percentage of the enemy left while that enemy might not be able to focus enough attacks on her. 3D and 4L is pretty survivable for a few scattered hits.

I love Medusa, but she's way over priced. Make her 110 and she's perfect IMO! She can be deadly when used with X-17 and Glads/Blasts, or even just 2-3 squads of Glads. Have them run out and tie down some units, and then once the enemy is locked down, Medusa can challenge them to a staring contest.
