BLOOD BOWL: GNOME TREEMAN

Description

Blood Bowl: Gnome Treeman – The Sturdy Anchor for the Gnome Team

The chaotic and whimsical world of Blood Bowl welcomes one of its most peculiar and resilient players: the Gnome Treeman. While traditional Treemen are usually associated with Elven or Halfling teams, the diminutive Gnomes have managed to coax one of these mighty forest spirits into joining their unpredictable roster. This Big Guy miniature is the cornerstone of any Gnome team, providing the much-needed strength and resilience that the smaller players lack.

This highly detailed Citadel miniature is an essential purchase for any coach looking to field the newest, most eccentric team in the world of fantasy football.

Lore and Background: A Forest Ally

Gnomes, with their deep connection to nature and their slightly unhinged personalities, have a unique relationship with the ancient inhabitants of the forest. The Gnome Treeman is not just a massive tree stump; it is a sentient, slow-moving powerhouse that has agreed—perhaps reluctantly—to participate in the brutal sport of Blood Bowl.

These Treemen often appear bewildered by the violence, but their commitment to protecting their tiny allies is absolute. They are often adorned with small Gnomes clinging to their branches, or perhaps even a tiny Gnome coach directing them from a high perch, adding a layer of comedic detail to this imposing model.

Role on the Pitch: Strength and Stability

The Gnome Treeman fills the crucial Big Guy slot for the Gnome team. While slow, its immense Strength and Toughness make it an immovable object on the line of scrimmage, capable of holding back even the most aggressive opposing players like Orcs or Chaos Chosen.

Its primary role is to anchor the defense, absorbing punishment and creating gaps for the faster, smaller Gnomes to exploit. Crucially, the Treeman is a master of the “Throw Team-Mate” skill, allowing it to launch Gnomes (or even Snotlings) down the pitch for unexpected touchdowns or disruptive plays.

Key In-Game Functions:

• Line Anchor: Uses its high Strength to block and hold the center of the field.
• Protection: Acts as a massive screen, shielding vulnerable Gnome players from harm.
• Aerial Assault: Utilizes the “Throw Team-Mate” ability to send Gnomes into the opponent’s backfield.
• Resilience: Possesses powerful defensive skills, making it extremely difficult to remove from the pitch.

Hobby Appeal and Miniature Details

This plastic kit provides a fantastic painting project for hobbyists. The large surface areas of bark and wood allow for creative texturing and shading, while the small, detailed Gnomes clinging to the Treeman offer opportunities for vibrant contrast.

The Gnome Treeman model is supplied with a large Blood Bowl base, ensuring it stands proudly alongside your other Star Players and team members. Adding this unique miniature not only enhances your team’s performance but also dramatically increases the visual spectacle of your Blood Bowl matches. Secure this essential Gnome team component and bring woodland might to the gridiron!
