A Wood-Elf treema alternative?

I've seen these about in the Privateer Press catalogue and always thought they would be great as an alternative look for a wood-elf treeman. It's still a bit woody.

Its the Circle of Orboros "Woldwatcher".

There's also the "Woldwarden".

I just so happen to have my Circle army beside me.

The Woldwatcher isn't really big enough. It's not much bigger than a standard infantry model, despite the 40mm base. It certainly doesn't say "big slow st6 thing" to me. It's more of an ST4 look.

The Woldwarden might be a bit big, if anything. That's a 50mm base it's on. They're tall.
It MIGHT be doable, but you'd want "Prone" markers rather than laying down the model.

You need prone markers witht he current treemen!

Thanks for that, didn't really know the scales. Not a player of Hordes/Warmachine myself. Just like some of the mini's that are suitable for BB.

I think the watcher is perfect for a woodie treeman - I've been using one as such for months now.

It's made of wood and stone, and is much more massive than a chaos warrior, how much tougher do you want it to be :)
