Final on the Galadhrim Warriors :

W3DView_2013-05-28_21-21-22-24.jpg

Also, I've done some re-thinking on the elves themselves, I'm going to make them all elites essentially similar to how TEA had their elves. They'll have a High cost but they'll be effective units.

So the Weak Lorien swordsmen and archers will be gone but, replaced with Marchwardens and Galadhrim Warriors.

And thoughts on this ?

I don't like the gray version. Is it supposed to be a light armour version? It looks very bland and unimaginative since all you did was desaturate it completely.

 

Oh and change the leather/skirt slightly.

I'll come up with a new design and put it up later to compare them.

I would change the colour of the cloth. The model is too brown, and it doesn't look very nice that way.

The second unit could use some highlights and shadows and more distinct colouring he looks kind of plain and bland at the moment.

Yea I guess he is, I basically left him the way he was when Art gave him out. I'll have to get him done later.
Also I kept forgetting to post this guy and was lucky I brought the pics on a flash-drive :p.
I Re-did the Mithlond Sentry ... so he looks like a sentry and not some elf with pointy scraps of armor.

The Mirkwood unit ... the idea is good , the implementation is bad .

The Imladris guard has it's head too big and his body too wide , like stuffed up , more of a dwarf then a tall and skinny elf .

 

Ohh you want a cool Mithlond design? (*goes to the RC MOD files *) . Well it an improvement from the wierd looking Mithlonds , but I would change the face if I were you .

 

Just my advice , the rest looks good enough.

Maybe you could make the Silver Galadhrim look like the guards of Celeborn's palace? or maybe like a delux looking march warden skin? Something Ive always had a problem with the Galadhrim Warriors is that they dont have a double recurve and they shoot weird. seriously who besides orcs shoot like that?

Guards of Celeborn's Palace, sounds like a cool unit name, I'll make them a separate unit ! The March-Wardens could be a possibility as well, my last version failed me XD.

It still needs a little colour variation, I'd say maybe something as simple as a green stripe along the bottom of the skirt.

Just something to break up the brownish-khaki tones.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind when I'm doing the variations.

Much better, but I would like you to take more inspiration from Legolas actually. Subtle blue-gray on the inner skirt, perhaps even the arms. Do they need the shoulder-pads? Or could you work out seamless shoulders like these guys have?

Otherwise, the theme is pretty similar to this awesome guy, and I honestly believe you'd be better off with a greenish colour. Or it might just the the lack of cape and long skirts that throws me off, I don't know.

Personally I like the shoulder pads to be honest so I'll keep them. The color pallet I had in mind would have been various grays, browns, and greens on the cloth parts & the metal armor with tints of grays and bronzish colors. And that concept art is great but I've seen already, it would be a good design for a guard or heavy ranger type unit, some pieces on the concept however may be in the heavy armor X).
