Just for reference... This is what I need to model to update Moria faction into Misty Mountains faction.

(Blame the Hobbit movies) 

 

Orange = WiP (Sculpting, painting, topologizing & UV-mapping)

Green = Done & ready for rigging

Blue = Rigged & in game

 

- Azog

- Bolg

- Yazneg

- Fimbul

- Gundabad Hunter Orcs

- Gundabad Soldier Orcs

- Gundabad War Troll

- Gundabad "Stumpy" War Troll

- Gundabad Warg
- Great Goblin

- Goblin Town Tribesmen

- Moria Orc Swordsmen (new Head, Helmet & Shield)

- Moria Orc Spearmen (new Head, Helmet & Shield)

- Moria Orc Archers (new Head & Helmet)

- Moria Orc BC (new Head & Helmet)

- Stone Giant

You're still missing the Moria Orc Archers, no? So it should be orange?

[Nazgûl]

Does that mean what i think it means? 

 

Btw, Kwen offered to rig the Stone Giant. Just sent it to him. Gives me time to focus on my new model, the Gundabad hunter Orc

Not at all, I was just pointing it out

[Nazgûl]

Hehe well then they should not be orange, as nobody's rigging them yet No worries though, it'll sort it self out eventually =)

[Lauri]

At the time I posted that, you only had Moria Orcs (or something like that), which I assumed included all three. Thus, orange. Now that you've split them, it's back to blues and green.

Have I forgotten something... to make this faction complete, in terms of assets I mean?  Other than what we migt see in the final movie off course...

[njm1983]

The only one from the list is bolg. There's nothing else I can think of.

[Nazgûl]

Me neither  Let's hope BotFA won't bring too much to the table...

[MattTheLegoman]

We will see more of the Gundabad Orcs.

Do you mean the dol gulder orcs?

[MattTheLegoman]

Yeah, I might mean that - but they are called Gundabad Orcs at Games Workshop. But LEGO The Hobbit has the Hunter Orcs named Gundabad Orcs. =p

 

Basically the orcs with armour that looks like a primitive Isengard design.

[Nazgûl]

Yeah those... they do seem to look like Uruks, just like the upcoming Iron Hills dwarves seem to look a LOT like Erebor's....

*moved from Staff into public forums*

 

Does anyone think that BotFA brought something of significance to this faction? I don't want to add the heavy armoured Gundabad Orcs since I don't want to draw this factions main theme away from Moria and the light armoured and fast moving Moria Orcs. This is a LotR mod, not a Hobbit mod. I do want key figures though, as the ones I have made above, to fill in the needed gaps for heroes and units, but I think that should cover it. Any other options, post here 

[MattTheLegoman]

Apart from any special powers that you want to include?

 

Here is a list of what I guess is the unit roster for Moria? (not including the fissure or spider pit)

Spoiler

Moria Faction

Fortress

 Moria Cave Troll

 Azog?

 Bolg?

 Yazneg?

 Fimbul?

 Golfimbul

 Great Goblin (with High Pass goblins)

 Balrog (summon)

Cave

 Hobgoblins

 Goblin pike

 Goblin drummer

 Goblin sword

 Goblin archer

Warg den

 wolf riders

 Warg riders

 hunter orcs?

 wild wargs

 wild wolves

Spellbook only

 Shelob

 stone giants

 Watcher

 You could fit a "Five Armies special power here (Gundabad soldiers, Dol Guldur soldiers (very similar to Gundabad soldiers), Goblin 'mercenaries' (that's what Dwalin calls them, very similar to High Pass goblins))

 But that would require a lot of modelling or trading, I don't know exactly what your plans are for the heroes involved with The Hobbit but I would recommend they are summoned via a power instead of a whole army."

Well they had the useless "Goblin Mercenaries" which Thorin and Dwalin slaughtered..

These were probably goblins from Goblin Town with sun-shading armour (and a bit of slip slop slap slide slip to protect against harmful UV rays.) =p

 

I wonder if when The Goblin King is level 10, his minions can get armour? That's the best way I can think of including them.

 

Oh, and the knob-gobbling hobgoblins are gone. =/

=p

[njm1983]

All heroes in see are level 10. There won't be armor upgrades and changes in outfits, except for gandalf...who will come back as white
