The March of the Ents: Citadel's 1980's LOTR ME-85 Treebeard- Mighy Ent.

 Continuing with my organising and painting of my Citadel Miniatures LOTR ME (Middle Earth) range, I have painted a few Ents. Now these are the basis of a Midgard 400 point Ent army, so I'll probably have to add a couple more, but here's the first three (so not much a of 'March' really!).  

As stated,these miniatures were part of Citadel's LOTR range from the 1980's. They only released one model which represented Treebeard himself. The model itself comes in three parts, the head, torso, and legs. There was only one sculpt of each of these parts, however this model seems the basis for the later Treeman sculpt for Warhammer Fantasy Battle, and for Blood Bowl. 

Painting was very straightforward, with browns and greens, except for Treebeard himself, which according to the Lord of Rings had "The lower part of the long face was covered with a sweeping grey beard" (Page 484, The Two Towers). So I painted Treebeard's beard grey. The other two I painted with slightly different shades of green beards to differentiate them. Any others I'll paint in the future will have different coloured barks and beards. Anyway, these were fun to paint and base, I'm pleased with the verdant look of the bases. 

Enjoy :) 

Three Treemen. 

March of the Ents! 

Treebeard. 
I positioned his arms as per the photograph in the Citadel Catalogue (see below). Personally I think it now looks like he's on a red carpet waving to his fans, but there we are! 

Another Ent. 

The third Ent. 

Ent with aa Orc on 25mm base (which needs finishing!) to give and idea of scale. 

The next update might be on some of my current WIP's, as well as some other things. I have just finished re-basing my 1980's Regiments of Renown as well.
