Runewood, The New Solo For Cygnar
May 17, 2011 by dracs
Privateer Press have put up pictures of the latest solo to grace the forces of Cygnar. Say hello to Archduke Runewood!
Here's what Privateer Press are saying about this noble defender of Cygnar:
"Among Cygnar’s greatest living battlefield generals, Archduke Alain Runewood has given up the comfort and safety of his estates in aid of his country and his king. Wherever his command fights, Runewood leads from the heart of battle. His tactical acumen is finely honed, and his inspiring presence pushes his sword knights to fight fearlessly in the face of even the most dangerous foe."
What's cooler than a noble Knight? One with an awesome looking sword. Personally I really like the look of this model and I think it more than lives up to my expectations of Privateer Press. However, the massive shoulder pads kind of spoil the look in my opinion. Call me picky, but I don't like it when a model's shoulder pads are level with their eyes.
So all you Cygnar players out there, would you be tempted to start fielding this guy? Please let us know all your opinions of this model below.

The mini looks a bit thick… Apparently, the big shoulder pads are “in” at Privateer Press, as apalling as it is to me. It makes the characters look shorter, and it’s obviously completely impractical, but the concept artists like it… The sculpt on this one is all right, but seems thick. The sword is good, but the whole thing looks like a Paladin of the Wall, Cygnar version. Then again, maybe it’s the paint-job that’s not doing it justice… I’m sorry to say it looks sub-par for a studio paint-job ! Privateer Press can do better… they used to !… Read more »
The legs look a bit too skiny and I think that’s what’s throwing off the mini.
It’s a shame. The face has a ton of character, but overall the mini is a bit crap, eh?
He looks like maybe he was sick for a bit, bed ridden, and his legs atrophied as a result.
I like it…yes the legs are a bit thin and wasted but they may look smaller due to the Huuuggggggggggggggggggggggggeeeee shoulder pads that PP like giving everyone. A dynasty fan sculpts stuff or what?? 😉
