What you need to know about Treemen

The Treemen are giant humanoid creatures haunting many forests.  While not naturally warlike they will organise to defend their homelands from incursions and persecute trespassers.

The Treemen fight barehanded and their immense strength and bark-like skin makes them fearsome enemies - the fact that they blend almost perfectly with their forest homes adds to the danger they pose.  Treemen are rumoured to be able to talk with trees and carnivorous and semi-intelligent flora will help them in battle, as will some friendly forest animals.  The mysterious and otherwise timid Mothmen aided the treemen in fighting a major bandit grouping.

Woodland shamen are known to help the treemen.  Treemen come in a variety of colours from green to brown - reflecting the variety of colours found in the trees where they live.  That Treeman change colour with the seasons can not be confirmed.

The general and heroes must be permanently attached to a treeman, in effect, they are the treeman.

For assasination and character challenges, they are treated as having two free bodyguards to simulate superhuman prowess, and compensate for lost flexibility.  These bodyguards cannot be permanently killed, they are just treated as “dead” if they lose for purposes of resolving this challenge.  The character is dead if the unit it is attached to is destroyed.  Treemen ignore forests or scrubs, they treat them as open ground for all purposes.  The shaman and druid may cast an additional spell - “Infest with mobile slime mould”, which attaches parasites to an enemy unit; cost 4.  “Animated plants or strangle vines” may be deployed against enemy in a forest.  They cannot move, but fight until destroyed or are victorious.  If victorious, they may be taken off the table and redeployed.
