Lovely stuff. I think it is one person working hard from the wilds of Dorset (actually not that far from me) AFAIK so I expect correlation between the virtual and physical is somewhat lacking! 
Nice to see the evergreens, all of mine are second hand ones so in a slightly different style. I use Hycote Matt Lacquer to further seal my trees a little. Keeping an eye out for old trees harvested from model rail layouts on ebay is quite a good way of bulking out. I got quite a lot of my smaller ones that way, but you do have to bear in mind they may be lighter on flock than nice new ones so don't pay over the odds.

Ah yeah I get mine from a model shop up north.
I seal mine too.
The pine type ones have had some added scatter to bulk them out, as brand new when they arrived they were tepid.
I must try regular wargames shows again, now that I am doing 25mm.

This stuff?
I do miss using an easy quick drying aerosol, I am currently using pva/water/fairy mix. Great and cheap, but messy and takes forever to dry.

Yep. I find unless I layer it on too heavily (then it can be a bit frosty on static grass) it does a reasonable job of sticking more of the flock in place on the trees/base and seems to be very matte. Generally on the bases I'll have used a good amount of dilute PVA and isopropyl to ensure everything is stuck, but obviously that's less easy on the trees so out with the spray.

Wicked. I will try that. I used to use something similar years ago but it was a bit shiny.

What scale should one search for? I know railway scales are based on the track size…Lovely stuff. I think it is one person working hard from the wilds of Dorset (actually not that far from me) AFAIK so I expect correlation between the virtual and physical is somewhat lacking!

Most trees seem to list heights. The K&M ones I favour are 125mm and 175mm

Just keep an eye out for K&M "k and m" on ebay, they might tell you the heights or you might have to estimate based on the pictures and you can compare to those on the K&M website (which are broadly the same). Other than those designed for N gauge (which are fine for EPIC) anything else works for Warhammer (within reason).

For more money, but more realism:
Woodland Scenics trees, I get mine from Hobbycraft and or Pendraken:
However I find these need adding too, or they seem a bit see through?

Thanks chaps!
Looks like K&M Trees are (or at least used to be) based in Beaminster an offshoot of PECO based in nearby Beer. Pecorama was a great little company museum, but will be closing this year…
