Blood Bowl Gnome Treeman

Blood Bowl's newest team on the block is the Gnome team. They can take two Treemen on their team and Games Workshop has released a new kit which we'll have a peak at today. 

Games Workshop had already released a Blood Bowl Treeman associated with the halfling release. That model had an optional mask which I believe was to make it suitable for the Wood Elf team as well.

The new Gnome Treeman is different but still sculpted in the same style, so I think they would go well together if you want variation between your two trees. I have also had a go at making custom treemen based on the Age of Sigmar Kurnoth Hunters for those who prefer their Treemen tall and slender rather than short and stubby.

Front of the box. The main difference is that there are quite a lot more small leaves on this model and a twiggy nose. Other than that, they seem quite close in appearance. They have slightly different posed hands and the leg stance seems close to a mirroring. It wouldn't surprise me if the arms might be interchangeable, so I will do some investigating.

Packaging's easter egg. A mini-tree man maybe? Cute and based on the team marker.

Comes on one sprue.
