This it the Treeman I use in my Wood Elf Warhammer Army. It is a converted Quickbeam figure from Mithril Miniatures. I have moulded his feet more into the base so that it appears as if roots are being pulled up. There is also a skeleton on the base with tendrils draped over him, which was supposed to be the vegetation being alive. Of course GW have made the treeman much larger and brought in the tree kin which is more this models size. But fundamentally I liked the model when I bought it and it still has a nice feel about it, probably 20 years after I bought it. It was cheaper as well. My Wood Elves army is pretty clean with a Lincoln green feel to them. More models when the natural light improves, as it is more or less constant rain here. What summer?
I do have one of the new style ones that I need to paint up, but this is an original guy. Still have the White Dwarf article somewhere where they were introduced along with Imperial Guard Medics (have to finish and photograph that army at some point as well). The only Dark Angels iconography is in the painted pin shoulder pad. Uses a blue white rather than just using whites and greys. Dark Angels Apothecary
