First off we have the troublesome Gondor Spearmen:
(arg...for some reason Gimp is paintbucketting the black in the render blue...and messing up how the close up units look. I'll fix this tomorrow and make another render)
Next we have the Gondor Battering Ram:
And here are two new renders of the Rhun Swordsmen:
(note: these look much much much better in-game when the lighting shines on them...)
Comments welcome

Yep, the spearmen use the easterling animations. Seemed a good fit and I had already binded a model to the that skl before, so I went with what I knew.(easterling's anims?)
The battering ram is good too, good binding (and I know that it isn't really easy)
Actually it was really easy for this unit, I just binded the gondor soldiers to the uruk skl and replaced them via code. They don't look perfect in-game, but it's as good as it's gonna get when humans use uruk animations lol.
In hindsight I think it really helped me that I did those Isengard crows first, I got 20 simple binding jobs that cemented the correct way to do it quickly. *And if I ever have to bind a crow again I will go crazy!*
Where's Matias? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the rhun armor.

I am extremely proud to present my first 100% from scratch skin. This is the new Gondor Tower Guard:
I put a ton of detail into this skin, unfortunately you can only see a tiny bit of it in-game:
This skin probably took me about 10-12 hours all told. I spent most of saturday working on it, with some touch ups today. The face and helmet were without a doubt the toughest parts. The face just didn't want to work right, and the helmet highlights were a pain.
Two things you can't really see as well in the screens:
-The tunic is a mix of black and navy, up close it looks much more like a velvet type of fabric then in the screens. Not that this matters in-game, but I'm proud that I got it to work like that.
-The leather gauntlets have a huge amount of detail in them, again not very noticeable in most of the screens.
This skin was based off of Pippin's costume in Minas Tirith... it will also be the base of Pippin's Heavy Armor costume as well as Beregond. The model is just a regular gondor soldier with new sword.
In my mod these guys will be the elite gondor soldiers, the old tower guard are going to be called the "citadel guard" and will be strong units like the berserkers (max of 4 at a time though).

Also, well done for staying true to Tolkiens works (don't know if that was intentional or not)

As for the tree, I decided that if I was going to make 90% of the skin from scratch I might as well make it all from scratch so that I could say I did it at least once. I don't plan on making any more skins from scratch like this again though. Not cause it's hard, but because I don't have the time to spend on it. If I want to finish my mod I have to move quickly on each individual thing.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

looks good for your first skin fom scratch, but for the model I would suggest useing eomers skl or faramirs skl, for a better effect, to give the elustion that they are better at sword fighting lol
Yeh, have to agree with Feanor here. Perhaps for a Citadel Guard a more "fightworthy" set of animations would better suit them. Eomer's would be your best bet...

-------
I am working on a new Morgul wall... how many polygons should I shoot for? 'cause I think I overshot my mark by quite a bit It's a very complex model, looks amazing right now
Most of the polygons are concentrated in a piece that I could remove/edit if need be. The piece in question is a small "spire" at the tip of the wall... lots of polygons because it is circular.
Or does it really matter since it is static and there would never be more then say 6 at a time?
--------
Another question, how would I go about setting up a light emitter in the model and export it so that it would shine in-game? Seems to be the best way to create the morgul glow to me...
I read somewhere that I had to add in a bone for the light emitter and then code it as a light or something? But I don't really know how to do this... could someone explain how or point me to a good example?
-------
Also, what export settings should I use for the parts of the wall? Normal mesh settings?
-------
Here is a VERY EARLY WORK IN PROGRESS screenshot:
*Before anyone asks why I am making a new morgul wall model when I already have one... lets just say the old one isn't going to work and leave it at that. *
Thanks,

2) Best way to do this is with animated textures and the proper shader settings. This is probably easier to explain over MSN, but using a flat plane with the proper arguments in the mapping section, with a suitable texture set to a proper emissive colour looks very nice.
3) Normal mesh settings with Shadw ticked for the wall, but you'll of course notice that there is a plane that is used for declaring the walkable area, that should be set to "hidden" in W3D tools I believe.
I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.
