Forest Generation - Useful?

Ok as someone who plays wolds A LOT let me combat some of those points

Free charges: Woohoo! Except the 2 casters that run them the best already give them free charges, plus For 17 points I get a pureblood that hits harder than the warden has significabtly better defensive stats (14/17) and has a way better animus and gun. (Wardens gun being a Spell) most other casters prefer and run pureblood a better.

DMG buff in casters: Well yes they can hit at Pow 18 with our standard pool but not any higher (blessed can be factored in but is situational) They also have Mat 6 which is bad combined with a pitiful 3 Fury. Really for me that extra Fury means a crippled/dead jack/beast and a fully healthy able to kill you one.

Geomancy caps at range 10 putting your easily killed butt in threat range of a lot of things. You chip all you want but your opponent will probably kill it next turn.

No it's not a beat Face heavy. It's not a trader, it's supposed to be a supportive durable gun platform that can punch a bit. But it fails to be good at any of this roles due to its unreasonably high points cost.

I've played a LOT of games with Wardens I only take them when I'm playing bones (now a fulcrum is a better option for 3 more points) and particularly with Baldur 2 to help dish out roots of earth. There's a Tanith bones list I'm working on that has 2 of them, but I'm really thinking 2 Fulcrum a is better in most every situation. They desperately need a cost decrease or something

Or provide better utility that a forest that most of the meta can deal with.

I think the dev notes for Circle said that our "faction identity" included terrain generation. We have discussed some that is less than useful, but I am hopeful that future releases add to that idea. PP is clearly experimenting with new model types (hellmouth, bunkhouse) so what if we got a model that was literally a forest. It could have rules for attacking enemies who enter it, provide support abilities for our models while within, and could slowly creep across the board throughout the game.

Lol buddy you are forgetting Mohsar and crevasse! That spell is awesome and his damage buff certainly helps pow 16.  

streetpizza While I like the look of that list I think my biggest issue is I do not think it can handle some of the more skewed jack spam lists out there. I have considered running Moh in wild hunt but I do not feel the list will attrition very well and it does not hit nearly as hard as I would want it too. Granted I can always make my dedicated gun line drop wurmwood for arm cracking but then the lists start to overlap in some bad match ups (ret being the big one for me) I typically take Baldur 2 as my main list and use mohsar to handle jack skews and beast skews. While I think he has fantastic infantry clearing I don't see me needing to tech a list just to kill dudes in circle who naturally just ahs lots of infantry clearing options. 

This is also from my perspective of Mohsar being really good into jack lines and beast bricks. I can totally see him as an infantry clearing caster but I think at that point your best off running Bones of Orbors and putting fulcrums on the table over the woldwardens.

Wild hunt has a lot of potential with Moh, I do not think he supports skinwalkers enough (they need a caster with an arm buff to function from my experience) but replacing the skinwalkers with another unit of reeves or wolves means more sands targets and you can really tech a list that kills infantry, kind of cracks heavy targets and threats assasination well. Even in your list I feel like 2 Purebloods are a better fit just because the sprays are so good and they can get to some really obnoxious places with tracker and ghostly. The sprays are also better for an assasination run.

I haven't played Moh in Wild hunt though, I know it has potential I just don't think wardens are what you want in the list and I feel you will find them underperforming with him outside of Bones of orbors.
