Ancient Treeman

Ancient Treeman is a Wood Elves monster spellcaster lord unit. Before the Elves there were the Ancients. If woken from their slumber, it is always to defend the forest.

Description
Of all the Treemen of Athel Loren, there are those - old beyond mortal reckoning - whose names are revered above all others; these are the Treemen Ancients. When the first pact between forest and Elf was formed, it was they who spoke on behalf of Athel Loren, and they were old even then. Treeman Ancients seldom rouse themselves to war; they find the colours of the waking world less vibrant as they get older and so steadily retreat into the dreaming lands of sleep where their magics nurture and shape the forest's growth. Thus do the Treeman Ancients pass through the centuries in a state of dormancy, tended by a small group of Dryads. Only when dire times befall are they awoken from slumber, for only with their leadership can Athel Loren be roused to its full fury.

Strategy
This unit combines the melee stats and tankiness of the Treeman with magic and some extra abilities. This makes them a more useful unit and a better anchor piece to a more melee focused Wood Elf army. They can hold the front line with Eternal Guard while using the Lore of life to keep elite units healthy and doing damage.
