Hey all, I'm a great fan of the woodelf line of models (the main reason that I collect them), but I cannot stand the standard model for a core part of my army: the treeman ancient. It looks neither like a tree, a man and it's not all that old looking. Am I alone in thinking this? I've been looking around a bit, and the treebeard model from LoTR is ok, a little on the mannish side of tree, but I could make a big ol trunk and canopy where the hobbits currently sit. Also, how do he (treebeard) and the modular ent kits measure up to FB big monsters? I'd rather not have a shrimp of a tree, and I'm worried that they would size up to 40mm base models (ogres etc.), rather than 45+mm badasses. Thanks!

I think you check out Black tree design. They have a truly stunning range of treemen and entlings:

Those "treemen" would make fantastic tree kin, Skwpp, but I'm not so sure they're big enough for TREEMAN status proper. That's actually more the problem, finding tree creatures of substantial bulk (for me anyway ) ... The ents from LotR are always a possibility, if you like the more subdued, less angry and more anthropamorphic tree peoples. I'm trying to find this one great treeman sculpt that a female sculptor did and posted on Dakka (and put into production, along with a "nurgle" demon prince that had to be discontinued), but I'm having real trouble. It was great, if a little "Nightmare Before Xmas"-y for me at the time, but now I'm thinking I'd like one ... BUT I did find this on a Col. Marble's review page from 2004:  "Eager to try my new member status and see my avatar, I've searched the links for news of new minis. I think I've found some images that we've not yet seen. From Le Retour des dieux, there are some figures in the planning stage that are unfamiliar to me. Scroll down the page for December releases." I know nothing else about the big guy though. If I can find that treeman I was talking about I'll toss up a link, but feel free if anyone else remembers! - Boss Salvage

ULTRAFORGE is what I was talking about, the gal's name is Sophia. Looks like the "Treelord" molds were distroyed along with the Lord of Pestilence way back when ... a pity, but they had their reasons to do it. Here you can see the eevil, alternative painted version of the treelord on CMON, which I was thinking of and would love to have for my very own  - Boss Salvage

I found another treeman model, this one from IronWindMetals: Wormwood (Treeman) Unsure on the size of the thing, but $18 generally means big things when it comes to IWM's pricing. The sculpt is nice and spooky, if a bit thin in pretty much all areas. - Boss Salvage

You could try the generic GW LOTR plastic Treemen. I think they are out now? Also not really great for treemen but Rackham have these that would make awesome dryads ![]()

I think it's about 3" tall by the way.
