=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a Nutshell===
Runewood is a master tactician who turns his opponent's plans against them. Intelligence is worth the price of entry, but he also brings Insidious Plans, which are kind of like opposite-Battle Plans, affecting enemy models with effects like Curse to help your horrors hit higher def, or removing pathfinder in Valley of Woe, or a Pursuit-style ability called Shadow.

===Combos & Synergies===
* Hearts of Darkness features squishy front-line-to-mid-line casters almost exclusively. The Shadow plan can be used to keep them safe.
** If [[Valin Hauke]] extends his Tactician bubble, the caster can advance through your own models on this move.
* Shadow is amazing with Omodamos, as any extension to his threat range results in a substantial increase to his damage potential.
* Dark Legacy offers him Reposition3 which allows him to escape back to safety after using his insidious plan.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* He is pretty squishy and his abilities will put him in charge range of whatever he targets if he has already moved and is not in Dark Legacy.
* In Hearts of Darkness his curse ability is quite lacklustre

===Tricks & Tips===
* Because his plans ''choose'' an enemy model rather than ''targeting'' them, you don't need LOS.
* Because his plans occur at any time you can declare them - then move away or engage at your leisure.
* Consider bringing [[Umbral_Guardian|Umbral Guardian]] or [[The_Wretch|The Wretch]] to keep him safe from shooting.

===Trivia===
* Released with the Faction release (2019.06)
* Prior to release, PP hid the identity of Runewood2 from players. His concept art was "unfortunatley not complete in time for CID" and he was called a completely different name (Mordecai, Master of Arms). He was revealed via a  revealed via a [https://m.facebook.com/OfficialPrivateerPress/photos/a.218535387049/10156201144367050 "Wanted Poster" placed on Facebook] in the week just before the Faction was released.
