Gidday guys its been a while since our last update as we have been working on getting a proper website up and running but heres a few shots just to keep ya intersted ;) Bear in mind its nothing major as im keeping the "big" update till we release public our new site. :p

These are our Dol Amroth units + barracks, unfortunately the skins dont look very blue :ohmy: so they will be re done :p but i think this shot shows all the amroth stuff and i think its nevertheless a good thing to show

Posted Image



This here is aragorn and faramir in all their various forms. Please note the most leftest guy is aragorn with a new skin by kingduku ;)

Posted Image


This has to be my favourite shot lol. He just looks soo cool ingame. However i wouldnt mind a cool special power for cirdan coz atm hes just using current ingame ones.

Posted Image


This here are the dwarven heros minus one (we still have yet to release the final hero) the smallest dwarf :p is balin and then is radagast and king brand

Posted Image


This shot here is all of Rohan's heros again minus 2 (theodred and elfhelm whom are waiting to be coded)
The dude on the left hand side is my err "interesting" looking erkenbrand.

Posted Image


here is a simple shot of the rohan infantry. The yeomen in the back are from bfme1 as are the elven warriors. The only new thing in that shot is the rohan axemen which were made by Feanor. We wil show a mount of them once it is percected (u dont want to see it right now trust me) and also of the royal guard (once we sort out the binding :p )

Posted Image

And that ends my mini update for today. Its a long weekend this weekend so hopefully should have some more stuff for you on monday (nz time). Just remember that none of this is anything special but atm we are just trying to get as much ingame as possbile

Cirdan looks like you've painted him a flat blue, then blobbed random lines on him with MS paint. His Palantir image is also incredibly squashed. Armoured Faramir is inaccurate. I'm assuming you meant the furthest right most skin with Aragorn as the first 2 just look like EA ones to me. In which case his breastplate apears to be slipping down his waist.

Brand is.. interesting.. apears to be wearing a red jumper with white and red flares.. Radagast also looks icnredibly flat.

So yes, I sound incredibly harsh, but I'm only commenting on what I see.

Couple of points:

Brand, Radagast and the Cirdan portrait were NOT done by the Doctor. The Cirdan portrait, is of the only clear shot of him in the movie.

I made those....And they were my VERY first models. I dont like Radagasts skin much, but brands "red jumper" is actually leather, and the so called "flares" (they get called that a lot :p ) are actually part of his leather boots.


Also since I sent those to the doc, ive made some updates. The Yeoman archers now have their own model...beregond, theodred, and elfhelm are ingame, as is a new Rohan seige works.

And of the 3 Aragorn skins, only the Ranger Aragorn skin is EA's The other two are our own. And the Armoured Faramir looks good ingame.

And Doc, the new Dwarf isnt Balin....He was, but im using him for "Thorin III" King Dains son.


EDIT:
The Rohan Shields are because I forgot to put the texture file for the shield in teh .big. looks much better now.

Additional Note....The yeomans and Elven Warriors in that screenshot, arent the final version ones. The new yeomans are ingame, and I have an Elven Guard model ready.

And I think the new radagast beats mine hands down.....I still like my King Brand though....

The Helms Deep Aragorn skin was already ingame (i think) although Valendil may have made some changes. The Black Gate Armour, and Coronation armour skins are new.

Were not using EA's black gate armour skin.

And the Red on King Brand is Leather. Zoom in close enough and youll see, ditto the "flares".

I wasn't aware the design was supposed to be "abstract and interesting" I thought it was meant to be Brand. However if it's meant to be abstract and interesting then that is of no consequence.

Bard and Cirdan do indeed look "interesting", but I wouldn't say that this sort of interesting is really a good thing in an LOTR mod. Good first tries and all, but they need a bit more work.

Although im replying to a very old post here...

Cirdans been completely replaced.

And I still defend Brands Design. It just doesnt look good in that screenshot. IN fact, none of my older screenshots look good....they blurred horribly, as back then I saved them in paint...and it doesnt treat jpegs well.

Hes Wearing Leather Trousers, Leather Boots, Chainmail Tunic, With a Red Leather Cover (cause i cant think of a better word) over it. The "cover" will probably get some kind of insignia eventually.
