Looks good man

Great job on the game I really do love it with all the work you did. I was playing around with isengard a bit and I noticed somethings. The uruk scout model looks FANTASTIC I love it but the urukhai look a bit scroony, for as powerful as they are described in the books and movies they should have way thicker armour,bigger bodies and be a few inches taller then men. Now in no way am I saying it looks bad. Im just trying to give some constructive critisim cause at the moment the scouts look more tanky the the...............tanky units xD

[alexshellot]

ok with heavy armour thy look a lot better but I feel like they should look something like that to begin with
