The Lord is comming...

Treelord that is...
I have just finished assembly of my first Treelord for my Sylvaneth army.
As usual (unfortunately) with big models, the instructions from Games Workshop is a little hard to read. If I din't have some experience and common sense (the last is probably debatable) it would not have been assembled in a good way.
I'm still not sure if all the joints are set just the way they are intended, but I glued them in the position that felt and looked best.
This first Treelord is a regular one, and the first of two of this kind. I then have one Ancient Treelord and Durthu to assemble as well. So the grand total of four Lords. Durthu will probably be the commander of the army, unless he is so crazed up after nearly being burned to ashes that he isn't thinking too straight. In that case the Ancient Treelord will be the leader. I will have to talk to the staff at Games Workshop Oslo about that as some of them knows the background for the woodelves very well, and the Sylvaneth used to be a part of the woodelves army in the earlier editions of the game.

The four Treelords will lead a force of sixty Dryads, and one Branchwraith. Then there will be two Wyldwoods. One of them will be autumn colors just like the warriors, and the other will be different shades of green (as I have already painted some of the trees in that forest).
If I'm not tired of painting walking trees when this army is painted up, I might add a little unit of one or two Treelords and perhaps thirty two Dryads in shades of green and a bit lighter brown bark.

Our basement apartment is being rented out for some days, so I had to move my workshop upstairs to the living room for a little while. Because of this I bought the Citadel Project Box to keep everything tidy, and I filled it up with all the equipment I need and used it while assembling the Treelord. I see now that it's possible to get a palette and cutting mat and I might get them to see if I can get an even better use for the lid of the box. So far I only used it to store the parts for the Treelord while putting it together, and it worked good for that. But I think a cutting-mat will make sense to cut into when cutting out or cleaning small or frail pieces.
