I should just not even look...
But I did. I checked in on Fenris Workshop's used miniatures page last week sometime and they had a used treelord ancient for sale. Looked like it had been assembled and primed and then broke apart - just at the joins. Cheap glue? Maybe? Or perhaps it was just sub assemblies and was never fully assembled. Regardless, having built one previously, I was fairly certain all the bit where there (and if they weren't... I have the left-over bits from TWO Treelord kits, I could bodge something together with!?)
Treelord Ancient
So... with the Treelord that came with the Sylvaneth Spearhead Army... and the kit slated to be assembled and painted as a Spirit of Durthu that came with the Outcast Spitegrove Battleforce Box... and now this Treelord Ancient... I will have ALL THREE types of Treelords?! (well... when I finish reassembling and painting this Treelord Ancient.. AND assemble and paint the Spirit of Durthu...). I'd been debating whether to build the new kit as a Spirit of Durthu (as thematically intended for the Outcast Spitegrover) to build it as a Treelord Ancient. Now I don't have to choose.
I'm pretty excited about getting all three up and going - especially this Treelord Ancient. The Treelord Ancient, in addition to being a big tough monster capable of taking some serious hits and dealing some frightful damage, it is also a WIZARD!

Nice and I guess it's only one figure to add to the painting pile, quick, paint a goblin and you're quits?!

Ha-ha! yeah...
DeleteHopefully it won't take as long as the Great Unclean One! I feel like the other Treelord didn't take THAT long to paint...? It's... a tree... This one will need some repairs, though. Obviously it needs to go back together, but I don't think the original assembler did a fantastic job (which is why it broke apart in the first place) I'll need to carve away some large gobs of hardened glue and get inventive with some green stuff... so it might be a "Next Year Project"... (but only because Next Year is only a few weeks away!!).
Also, I DID start assembling all the Darkwater stuff last night and kind of want to ride that wave of excitement for all it's worth - while I can - and see if I can't get the majority of THAT done before year end!
