Ents and Treemen sizing

[Rogue Blooper]

As the owner of a halfing army ("We prefer 'little people'") I've been looking at treemen/ents as a bit of muscle, and I am surprised by the size of the models. I've the original Citadel treeman for Warhammer, later modelled for Bloodbowl, and it's just not that big, given the stats. Giants are all sizes, as discussed in other threads.

Does anyone know the largest metal treeman model?

 

[Michael Stockin]

What have you found size wise?
Ral Partha Europe had some 70mm ones.

 

[Rogue Blooper]

Treeman next to a standard C23 giant and an ogre; treeman is basically 6cm or 2.5"

Compared to the Perry Giant at about 20cm / 8"...

Random thought. Could you make one from slivers of bark. Or wood that be more of an elemental rather than an Ent?

They are a bit more troll than elemental, that 'wood' be possible (love what you did there!) but i prefer actual minis where poss.

Thanks.

Yeah fair enough. I will keep poking around for bigger metal models.

I'd thought to have one of my halflings sitting on the ent's hand or shoulder, but the scale makes the halfling look surprisingly bulky.

might I suggest some of Trish Carden (previously Morrison) treemen from the HarrowHyrst range?

As they use 60mm bases, they are a fair enough size to contrast a Halfling or two

Nice!

For fun - two old pictures here. One of them is of three treemen I have used most recently as Treekin, being the old GW one, a newer GW one and one I made out of twigs (what a dude!). Then there is the real-sticks Treeman I made, which is much bigger than the three of them.

This is making me think sticks are the way to go!

Old School Miniatures had some really big resin ones. Aren't the lotr ents pretty tall?

Might be - I’ve not seen those IRL.

They are plastic though aren't they?

 

[Fimm McCool]

Even the originals? Thought they were all metal.

I know Trish Carden's 'Treebeard' from about 2005 was metal.

I've a Reaper "Spirit of the Forest" (super cheap Bones version also available). Snap for scale.


Quite stumpy (hehe), but a chunky chap.

definitely best to make your own. i used twisted wire covered (i think) with masking tape, with sawdust covered wire wool for the foliage.
