Little Heroes, Part3 – The Ellcrys Weirwood Tree and Orc Ravagers

My Weirwood Tree.
Dont just hug any tree, sculpt a face in one too.

The Weirwood Tree of the Old Forest is a white tree with red foliage.
It might be related to the White Tree of Gondor.
It is definitely related to the Weirwoods of Northern Westeros.

Some say that it was Tom Bombadil who got Ellcrys Tree acorns in Shannara and planted one in each forest of Middle Earth and Westeros.
Tom planted them, but it was Goldberry that cared and watered them to full growth.
Back in Shannara, those pansy Shannaran Elves had to try to make their Tree even more fancy by melding the souls of Elven Princesses to them.
As if hugging trees werent bad enough!
Luckily, for Arwen Undomiel, the daughter of Elrond, the Middle Earth Elves didnt feel the need to keep up with the latest Shannaran fashions.

The final battle of the D&D Halloween Weekender…

Those evil Orcs are about to burn the Weirwood Tree!
It is up to our heroic kids and their animal friends to save the Tree, and Middle Earth!
To get to the Tree as fast as possible, the forest defenders have divided up into 4 forces based upon their movement speed.

I enjoyed that – quite funny. But I think it was not Tom Bombadil, but Tim Benzadrine and Hashberry.

Brian Smaller,

Hmm… that makes two comments here on TMP that equates a game for little kids, with little kids and… drugs.
But I suppose childrens stories like Alice in Wonderland are also labelled as "drug induced" fantasies.
I suppose even kids shows are pretty lsd trippy, like Teletubbies.
I think it might be revealing about what kids find interesting, but also how adults view children.
But I can guarantee that no drugs were consumed by myself or the kids.
Unless you consider Gummi worms and ring pops as drugs. ;p

Nice seeing what a modern paint job looks like on those Harlequin Dark Orcs, maybe an order is in my future?

I think I missed what mini Hulku is. He looks pretty cool.

Crazyivanov,

He is a repainted Mage Knight figure. Which in turn, might be an Old Ral Partha sculpt. I know Mage Knight used some old Bob Olley Trolls and Ogres, I wonder if this fella was one of them.

I'll have to keep an eye out. Stripping Mage Knight mini's has to be cheaper than tracking down vintage models.
