The Book of Wildwood Runner

Edited the OP to reflect this.

I believe this model is perfect for printing the wildwood runners

Is there anybody that is printing and selling the alternates? I don't have a 3D printer, but am willing to cover cost and a little extra for someone to print some for me.

@White Knight may be able to help you with that.

We scanned the originals too, so I could print those for you if you want. Send me a pm:

What's the upper bound on how many of these I might want? What if I wanted to do a 1000 point game? I imagine at some point there's diminishing returns where you want to diversify the army instead of just having more?

EDIT: The .stl file link is broken... Where can I find it now?

I know that I got it from Trex a while ago. Back then he printed them for me so it was not an STL (At least I think it was Trex).

I believe the standard army is 4x Runner, 2x Sentinel, Monarch. You can run 9x Runner, 5x Sentinel, 1x Monarch for 1000 but I think you'd want to diversify your army rather than going that route.

Can't find the .stl but this is one of my favorite proxies & it comes prepainted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/36284509106...Bk9SR9LH08r4YA

I did a few batches of them a long time ago and in fdm no less. I would print them in resin if done today. I can see if I have the file on my computer still. I'm not the one who came up with that one particularly. If I can find it I can put it up on my mediafire account.

Just read through the wildwood monarch thread and it has quite a bit to say on strategy. https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...t=57047&page=2

If I were running a 1000 point wildwood army I'd probably run at least 200 points of range and I'd run something like Theracus. In that build, 6-7 runners is the absolute maximum:

Examples:
Krav Maga Agents
Major Q10
Marcu Esenwein
Theracus
Wildwood Monarch
Wildwood Runner x6
Wildwood Sentinel x3

Here's one with the maximum amount of runners I could think of. But I'd probably drop 1 for Theracus to carry a Sentinel forward and help with army development. So even then I'd say 7 is the max
Airborne Elite
Kaemon Awa
Wildwood Monarch
Wildwood Runner x8
Wildwood Sentinel x3

I wrote a report on army archetypes for the Wildwood faction in the Wildwood Monarch thread. Check that out!

I think there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to the wildwoods. More is not necessarily better. I run a “light version” of the wildwoods with success. Monarch, 1 sentinel, 3 runners. Then fill with range.

In a 1,000 point game, I would probably cap myself at the traditional 500-ish point army of:

Monarch
Sentinel x2
Runners x 4 or 5

Then I would fill the rest of the army with toolbox squads or heroes. Range, for sure, like in the light version. Perhaps even a tie-down screening squad like Deathreavers.


All of this to say. I don’t think one would ever need to really run more than 1 monarch (duh), 2 sentinels, and 5 runners no matter the point totals.

Thanks! My 200 points of range post was based on your write up rather than my own actual experience. So glad to hear it from the source himself!

Of the top of my head this was the army I came up with

Cyprien Esenwein
Isamu
Kaemon Awa
Krav Maga Agents
Marcu Esenwein
Marro Warriors
Sonya Esenwein
Wildwood Monarch
Wildwood Runner x4
Wildwood Sentinel x2

Cyprien can fly ahead and clear out whatever will be particularly annoying to the wildwoods. Ofc the budget version is PKs but it's 1000 points! I'm going all in with Cyprien. Then you've got the core wildwood army backed by the range flexibility of Krav & Kaemon. And of course, once the wildwoods are done respawning (if ever) marro warriors are right there to clean up.

A potentially even more annoying version of the same army would be
Cyprien Esenwein
Isamu
Krav Maga Agents
Marcu Esenwein
Marro Warriors
Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (RoTV)
Sonya Esenwein
Wildwood Monarch
Wildwood Runner x5
Wildwood Sentinel x2

Kaemon was redundant in the other army, Raelin here makes the Krav even more annoying and makes the trees even harder to kill. I'd consider dropping the 5th runner for Theracus given that he can help the wildwoods develop all the way to the front of the board (or retreat all the way to the back) by taking a sentinel on his back.
