Unboxing Malifaux - Hanging Trees

I got these as part of my Through the Breach Kickstarter pledge though they were originally available as a 'Nightmare' model from a previous Gen Con event. The larger tree is a terrain feature though the smaller ones can also be used as 'Hanged' in 1.5 or as Montresor in M2E.


The Hanging Trees box contains enough parts for three miniatures...namely one large Hanging Tree and two small Hanging Trees. It also contains stat cards to use the smaller ones as Hanged though the Through the Breach version came with Stat Cards to use either of them (not both at the same time though) as Jack Daw's Montresor Henchman.

The box has two sprues in it as well as the aforementioned cards...



Should there be any assembly issues with the model then they will be listed in the appropriate section and you can view larger versions of the smaller pictures by clicking on them.

Stat Card.
I've included pictures of all versions of the stat cards though which ones you have will depend entirely on how you obtained your Hanging Tree box...


Assembled.
Most of the model parts are nice and substantial as well as slotting together very nicely. The only issue is that the ropes on the 'Hanged' models are very thin so be very careful when removing them from the sprue and again when attaching them to the main body of the model. It's also worth noting that you can use the branch with both hanged on it on the smaller trees should you so desire.

Large Hanging Tree.



 Small Hanging Trees.
Both the small trees are identical with the only difference being which Hanged model you attach to which so I've only taken pictures of one of them though I have included pictures of both versions of the hanging model.




There are six 'carrion' birds spread across both sprues. They have no fixed location and can effectively be put on the models wherever you please.

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
