    Don't know much about this faction but ... what about a Regeneration power similar to an Ice Troll if ANFANG is adjacent to a Tree or Jungle Bush?

    Could help with risking the wound to revive a Wood common figure.


    COLD REGENERATE
    After takig a turn with this Ice Troll Berserker, remove 1 wound marker from this Ice Troll Berserker's Army Card. If it is on a snow or ice space, remove 1 additional wound marker.

    The faction has a whole seedling to large wildwood cycle that I thought Anfang would fit in, but he doesn't so definitely going to have to revisit some aspects here.

    I thought he would fit in the life cycle so he could come back into play. It only works with med to large Wildwoods. Anfang should be a huge. So was thinking about dropping Reforestation, or upping life and lowering defense, or giving a healing property. As slow as the Wildwoods are a move bonus might be in order. I did one playtest against that 20-sided labor team while in Seattle and Anfang wasn't too great, although the Guardians were pretty effective.

    Also, I don't know if Anfang should be a Monarch- Wildwood Monarch claims that title.  Perhaps Regent or Viceroy or Elder?

    I like everything as designed. Elder sounds good, as does Stoic. But, think about Dauntless . . . that way there would be just a little bit of synergy with Stenvar. I am thinking a good place to start with the points would be about 120?

    like Dauntless and really like light synergy with Stenvar- might have to look a little closer at that.

    First effort at the card for Anfang. Wondering if the SA should also target adjacent Wood Woads . . .

    A couple of changes and I think Anfang ready to be done.  Up attack to 6 to match Monarch.  change Forest Storm to

    FOREST STORM SPECIAL ATTACK
    Range special.  Attack 3

    Choose any trees or Wildwood figures you control within 5 spaces of Anfang.  Then choose up to 3 figures adjacent to those tress or Wildwood figures even if Anfang is engaged.  Roll 3 attack once for all affected figures.  Each figure rolls defense dice seperately.

    also dropping wood woads out of forest leadership. Outside of the changes I think Anfang is good to go if you do.

    FOREST STORM SPECIAL ATTACK

    Choose up to 3 figures figures adjacent to a tree, bush, or Wildwood figure within 5 spaces of Anfang.  Anfang is considered adjacent to these figures for Forest Storm Special Attack.  Roll 3 attack die.  Each Figure rolls defense die seperately.

    Attack dropped to 5.
    Hopefully this wording works for final.  OP udpated.

    Did you want Anfang to have an additional move as well? Or keep like below?

    FOREST LEADERSHIP
    All Wildwoods you control, except Anfang, may move 1 additional space.

    Reworded a couple of things for the special to be similar to C3V/SoV releases.

    FOREST STORM SPECIAL ATTACK
    Range Special. Attack 3.
    Choose up to 3 figures adjacent to a tree, bush or Wildwood figure within 5 spaces of Anfang for Forest Storm Special Attack. Anfang is considered to be adjacent to the chosen figures. Roll 3 attack dice once for all chosen figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately.

    Here is the latest effort on the card:
