The Wargaming company (thewargamingcompany.com) sells the old school epic sized trees. You get a pack for 15 bucks. The larger pine trees are too tall. They come with MDF bases. You will need to seal them as they shed flock easily.

Do you have a link to the trees you bought that you think fit best? I'm not seeing any packs for $15 - but I'm seeing a bunch of trees that might work well? Thanks! |

Everyone makes trees so freaking small. |

Everyone makes trees so freaking small. It is true the trees are small. If they were the correct size, they would be unplayable. In Epic they are more tokens representing a design concept. Area terrain. As long as you can recognize what the object represents and the limitation of the object then it doesn't matter. |

Im not so much bothered by them being too small as not being varied enough. The thing about trees is they they start off small and get bigger... so can be in a wide range of sizes even for the same species. Also I’m not so sure trees are incorrectly scaled. I mean compared to the varying sizes of models. They do look wrong in today’s world of “true scale” (as if there was ever a reference for what is true) titans. But the trees did come first after all. |

As long as you can recognize what the object represents and the limitation of the object then it doesn't matter. I agree that we're just using them as tokens, so the size isn't that critical, but larger trees definitely aren't unplayable, for exactly the same reason! For example:    Although this is partly because we play area terrain as being as high as the highest element within it, so tall woodlands are needed to block LoS to/from Titans. P.S. Apologies if my earlier post came across as aggressive. :-( Kyrt wrote: Also I’m not so sure trees are incorrectly scaled. I mean compared to the varying sizes of models.

I generally work from the GW infantry (and the slightly smaller pre-3rd ed stuff, at that. Which puts a mature beech tree (up to 160 feet/40 metres) at 150-160mm high. |
