Frankly, I've come to the conclusion I'm not a very good Hordes or Warmachine player. I'm making an effort to change that.
I have repeated issues with Sorscha, so wanted to hear what people have found to be effective tactics against her and that feat of her's.
Thanks.

Stay out of sight. Keep anything you dont want seen out of her LOS and her feat isn't all that great. What force / caster / lock are you using? What's your list look like?

Well, the last game I played was Grim Angus, with an axer, impaler and mauler. On a board with little in the way of forests. My opponent was using Sorscha, the Behemoth, Yuri the Axe and that crazy dude with the two swords on the horse.

That crazy dude would be Fenris. He's a mean mean man. He also eats laughter and happieness of children for breakfast. Get your Mauler up there and start throwing stuff. A nice two handed throw of the Behemoth into Sorscha will make a big dent in her armor. Might even kill her if you're lucky. Sorscha can't increase the accuracy of the Bombard Cannons on the Behemoth so don't worry about them. Yuri can probably take down one of your guys each turn if you let him get close. I haven't used Fenris yet, but I've heard he can do the same thing. Don't get bogged down or Fenris will eat your heart. Try to make sure you get the charge. Yuri is a killer but has little in the way of survivability. Basically, get your Mauler in the Behemoth's face and knock down sorscha. Then Charge in and kill her while she's down!

I too play Trollbloods and face off against Sorcha on a regular basis. Assume she has wind rush going and as such she is Def. 20. You can either pray to the dice gods using boosted attack rolls or you can have one of your beasts slam something (a Krielstone Bearer for example) into her. Now she's only Def. 5. Send in another beast, champs, or your caster to finish the job.

Also, if you're using Grim you should be able to keep her off balance. If you get a sense she's going to pop her feat the next round then pop yours. Grim is all about controlling the tempo.

This may sound crazy but Trollbloods are one of the best armies to beat her for two reasons.

One, she relies entirely on a one-turn push that leaves nothing alive. But a few good Tough rolls can ruin that entirely...especially if they stay standing when they make the Tough checks.

Two, you have a ton of bases that block LoS. Even your warbeasts can be screened. She has to see them to freeze them...& it's an easy thing to make sure that all she can see is the front rank troopers of some Kriel Warriors.
