Treekin models?

[Totte]

Is there any substitue models for the gw ones? any suggestions on how to convert?

[Ryikko]

There are a bunch of inspiring threads about the Painting and Modelling Forum. All you have to do is look

are just some places to look...

Here's a pic of my Treekin models. Basically made from Green Stuff, wire and Dryad parts, in a similar manner to Raindog's Treekin models (the last link of Ryikko's post ).

I've also seen people use the old metal dryads and convert those into treekin.

[Galengalad]

I've converted this one from Rackham model...however looks like Confrontation will no longer have metal models....

[Raindog]

Now there is a proper Treekin.

[Ninza]

I think that model seen above is more pricey than normal treekin. Is it so?

I thought that the dude who started this topic wanted cheap treekins!

[Galengalad]

You could not get this model alone, it was in the box with ork hero, so I got it cheap from my friend.

[Ender Shadowkin]

I made a set by Twisting wire and some modeling putty, I mostly used green stuff on the faces. I think they turned out playable. Dirt cheap

There are some photo's in this thread.

I must be one of the weird ones but I actually like the TK models. I have a smaller model for my treeman so smaller/thin TK make my Treeman look not so tiny.

I wish I had more converting and GS skills all these conversion pics make me jealous.

Hi all!
Im new guy in this forum and happy to find this topic because ,as few others, dont like the official Treekin models. So im in the middle of a "dryad-to-treekin" conversion project
Some pics about my Treekin and a dryad.

Try Oak Warriors from the old MageKnight range of minis. They are about $.50 on ebay and they are the softer plastic that doesn't melt when you heat-gun it. Try em!

I have been thinking on a cavetroll-treekin:

Sorry for the threadromancy, but does anyone know what kind of heads are on the treekin in the quoted photograph? They are simply awesome and I must get my hands on some. Cheers,

They are kroot heads from the 40k line (Tau army).

Here is a so so shot of the treekin I converted a couple of years ago.



Very similar to the one you asked about.

Thanks for the reply steinerp, and very nice models by the way. Cheers,

Good call Marshal. I just picked up two off ebay for 3.24, including shipping. I'll take that anyday over a $20 dollar GW treekin. Thanks for the tip.

Wow, for the price, those are fantastic Treekin models. I just ordered 16 cast resin 40mm bases and 16 Oak Warrior models, and after shipping the grand total came to under $30! I'm psyched, thanks for the tip!

I hope they're at least slightly larger than the Dryads. Here's to hoping that they can be repainted without much hassle

[alerion-shadowstalker]

i know a guy whos making both tree-men and tree-kin from the GW woods set.

[Ryikko]

I've linked the image of the Oak Warrior for people who want to know what it looks like:

It looks great for the price! Nice call, Marshall Torrick

[Mivari]

How big is the Oak warriore compairt to dryads ?

[Siege]

How big is the Oak warrior compared to dryads ?

I'd like to know this as well...I have a bunch on order, so I'll be sure to take some pics next week for comparison if nobody else can answer this question.

[Mivari]

Nice im looking forward to it

One question. Size of GW Treekin compared to old(5th edition) treeman model? (the lowest one from the blister packs). Also anyone could compare the size of a new treeman with a old one?
Just ordered two GW Treekin to combine with the old treeman for a unit of 3. with the old Treeman to be the elder.
