Lindon Faction

Concept art

I don't like the face. It's not positioned correctly, and it doesn't look very elvish. You can see the beard stubs, which elves tend to avoid.

You're absolutely right  I put a new face to make it look more elf, example

It could use some shading on face, but still looks good.

It's still not positioned correctly. The face should be put further up, like this. Notice how the eyes are higher, the nose is "hidden" and the mouth is just off the helmet's nose-thingie. Well, looking at this, your helmet's opening seems to be to wide aswell..

I liked the old models better .

The face is still off, but the armor looks pretty neat.

'Imperial', though? Since when did the Noldor have an empire?

'Imperial', though? Since when did the Noldor have an empire?

It is suggestive, but yes the noldor, can be equated to an empire, like Arnor and Gondor respectively

Arnor and Gondor were Kingdoms-in-Exile, replacements for the Kingdom of Numenor, in which the kingship was given by the Valar to the heirs of Elros.

The word Emperor or Empire were not used in Middle-earth as far as I can recall.

The rebel Noldor (here meaning they were under the Curse of Mandos and banished from Valinor, exiled to Middle-earth), lead by the High King Feanor and later the third High King of the rebel Noldor, Fingolfin. Finwe was the first High King of all the Noldor, until his death. Finarfin was the High King the Noldor who did not rebel after Finwe's death, and stayed in Valinor.

I might need to be corrected with this:

4th High King - Turgon

5th High King - Gil-galad

6th? Galadriel or Elrond

I suggest Noldor King's Guard or Royal Noldor or Majestic Noldor.

P.S. If you plan on designing a "kingly" type of soldier, I recommend going into the devises that the elves used. Images and explanations from http://www.forodrim....ry/heraldry.htm

This theme is varied and depends on each person, the term "empire" is not used in Middle Earth, does not mean that certain, nations or kingdoms are not.

So I told them that is suggestive, the term High King of Noldor or High King, is equivalent to an emperor, personally I like more high king or supreme king,

  Gil-galad was the son of Fingon, son of Fingolfin, son Finwë, first High King of the Noldor, if you read the Silmarillion, you realize that kings elves follow the mandates of the supreme king, as in the case of Elendil

In war all "(...) living creatures were divided on that day ... some of the same species, even beasts and birds, were one and the other side,. Except Elves Only they were not divided and followed Gil-galad. "(The Silmarillion. Of the Rings of Power)

Arnor and Gondor Were Kingdoms-in-Exile yes but as I say empires behave like Gondor and Arnor has a king. but there is a High King, or supreme king.

Gondor has, fiefdoms, in the years of its heyday (around 1100 of the Third Age), Gondor stretched from the Celebrant River, north to the river Harnen and Umbar (coast) to the south, and from the river Gwathlo west to the Sea of ​​Rhun east After the foundation of the Realms in Exile in the year 3320, Elendil granted the patriarch of the family the title of Prince of Dor-en-Ernil.

It's like comparing a high kingdoms, Arnor and Gondor with lower realms, as rohan and dale.And yet, talking of Mordor, which would, more monsters "empire" that could be.

But as I tell him, is a matter of perception. And in relation to models thanks, but I like new things, different designs etc.
