| I think that it is funny that the last two pictures have pretty much looked exactly like their silhouettes suggested that they would, but we still have trouble identifying them.
Now if they just have special ability "Plant Follower: can be used in any warband with a plant commander" so I can complete my "The treants wouldn't come, but the undergrowth was happy to help" theme band.

| | I'd be surprized if it was anything but a twig blight. Why make another tree critter now when shoe(?) said a few sets ago that we would be getting a twig blight eventually. | |

Can you post it for us to see?
Thank you.
Yeah I can't access the pic either but I know the one your talking about and this is almost a dead ringer for that artwork. This mini is like some sort of strange mesh between this one and the 3.5 one. | |

| Gah, maybe the "Blighted" template for corrupted animals/plant creatures they used with my Talontar Blightlord out of the Unapproachable East book? Would make sense if that what this new pic was. Blighted Treant. Mayhap give me hope in seeing my Blightlord mini yet.
Watch though its going to be something new from MM4 or the sort :( | |

| | Well, the picture leaves me in a bit of a larch. I've been pining to know what kind of tree it was, but this one is still a pain in the ash to identify. I don't know about yew, but this is going to be one hard walnut to crack. Maybe if they spruced up the picture a bit I wouldn't have my fir up so much. But what can you do, life's a beech. | |

Nothing saying this mini isn't small though. And that angle seems like a side view, there could easily be a second leg on the other side.
I still say Twig Blight, and if not, it'll be a decent enough proxy for one until we finally do get it. | |

| I think it is a small base. Accordingly, I think it may just be a new interpretation of a twig blight.
On the other hand, it could be an awakened plant ... (per the druid spell awaken) | |

Also, it looks like it's a medium, it's just big on a medium base.
Well, how would you show "rooted into ground" on a miniature sitting on a black base? I think this could qualify.
I think the base is too thick to be a medium. | |

There were only 16 of 60 models leaked, right? So maybe the pictures linked were specifically ones from Monster Manual IV or other new sources? (Belied by the apparent inclusion of some sort of blue draconic creature, but still vaguely possible.) | |
