Wild Men Rules

mordor_troll · **Posted:** Wed Jul 28, 2004 1:10 pm

After re-reading the part of RoTK with the Wild Men in i decided to make some rules for hopefully the new range hes making of Wild Men. pages 116-119 i think have the Wild Men in.

Wild Men of the Woods Points Value 8

F S D A W C
Wild Man 3/3+ 4 2 1 1 3

Wargear
The base profile for a Wild Man includes rocks or clubs (count as sword).
He can be given additional equipment at the following cost:
Bow 1 pt
Blow Pipe 1 pt
Poisoned Arrows/darts 1 pt

Bow. Bows made by the Wild Men are built for hunting in the forest, where they can easily use stealth to get close so a long range is not necessary. They have strength 3 and a range of 18”/42cm.

Blow Pipe. The Blow Pipes made by the Wild Men are deadly at close range. They have strength 4 and a range of 6”/14cm

Poisoned Arrows/darts. The arrows and darts are often dipped in poison, so if the arrow/dart doesn’t kill the prey the poison will. If the arrow/dart does not wound the model(or if it takes 1 wound of a hero and does not kill him) then for the remainder of the game. After every turn roll a D6 if it’s a 6 the model has been killed by the poison.

Special Rules
Stealth. The Wild Men have lived in the woods for many years and know all the routes like the back of their hand. When a woods/forest Wild Men can only be shot if they are within half the normal shooting distance of the weapon. They also ignore difficult terrain.

Gorgun Rage. The Wild Men hate Gorgun (orcs) and if orcs are near the Wild Men will go into a mad frenzy. When charging any type of orcs Wild Men roll a D6 for every model in base contact. On the result of 6 the model gains +1 attacks to their characteristics.

Wild Men Chieftain. Points Value 35

mordor_troll · **Posted:** Sun Aug 22, 2004 12:55 pm

Thanks for the reply's i was wondering if anyone was going to.

Instead of drums why not replace them with 'Watch Stones'. As explained in the book of Unfinished Tales-

Quote:

They made also images of themselves and placed them at the entrances to tracks or at turnings of woodland paths. These they called 'watch stones' of which the most notable were set near the Crossings of Teiglin, each representing a Druadan (wild man), larger that life sitting upon a dead orc. These figures served not merely as insults to their enemies; for the orcs feared them...

p 490 Unfinished Tales

maybe you could include some form of magic user too- just a couple of thoughts

The rules are cool btw, does ebob plan to make them?

The stones are a good idea but you cant move stones like drums. The magic was something i was considering. Something like a shaman or old wizard guy maybe. I dont think ebob plans to make rules. Just let us make our own.

andy_son_of_richard · **Posted:** Sun Aug 22, 2004 5:46 pm

Maybe you could deploy the stones before the game starts...?

I was just wanderin if ebob was planning on making the models

sorry wasn't very clear above as usual :roll:

I agree that it would be a good idea for watch stones to be used but sadly I haven't seen the moria goblin drum's rules. :cry:

mordor_troll · **Posted:** Sun Aug 22, 2004 9:27 pm

Yeh he has made 1 model and i think hes making more. Thats why i decided on making the rules. And about the stones if u deployed them then the enemy would just attack around them and avoid them. But im sure i can find a way around that.

andy_son_of_richard · **Posted:** Sun Aug 22, 2004 10:10 pm

But avoiding them could be an advantage in itself!

mordor_troll · **Posted:** Mon Aug 23, 2004 9:25 am

Hmm i suppose so. By the way if you want to see them click the link on the bottom left to see ebobs wildmen.

Valdor · **Posted:** Wed Aug 29, 2007 5:53 pm

The_Rhinosaurous, try to pay attention to the dates on the posts...not everything is new. The last time someone posted on this subject was Mon Aug 23, 2004.

You are all quite correct, and as they now do have their own rules there is no longer any need for anyone to comment more on this.

>-LOCKED-<....unless someone screams at me.
