I used the Brightness/Contrast tool on Photoshop

and just in case you were wondering, I'm not allowed to use any BoG stuff, just zimoo's models.

Today I have another Evil Men update.

First, Fuinur (the Black Numenorian/Corsair hero) has a new skin. Nothing really special, but now he looks a bit different from the other corsairs:


Here's a render of Fuinur:


Corsair Ballista, a siege weapon of Evil Men:


And finally, Rhun Royal Guard, the new hero horde of Evil Men (at the front of the pic). You can compare them with some other Easterlings in the pic:

I like it all...

except the ballista... looks way off in the binding or, just the ballista, not the people... or in fact, they do too a tiny bit...
I already have a binded ballista, ready for new units and skin, if you'd like me to bind one better than zimoo

[IthronAiwendil]

Sure, you can help me with the ballista if you want. Should I send the model to you or something?

[Juissi]

Great stuff, I like the glow around the dagger kinda things of Fuinur

[Lauri]

sure, send me the model, skin, everything Or basically, just the skin and model

[Caluadan]

rly liked this update, the royal guards and fuinur look great

[zimoo]

Lol Lauri, what's wrong with the binding?

[IthronAiwendil]

zimoo, I think there's no big problems with the binding, only the wheels don't move. It think the model itself is great anyway

I have another Evil Men update, this time it's only about the Black Numenorian Marauders. They are possibly one of the coolest units of Evil Men.

Here's a render of them:

The skin is made from scratch, except the face and the wooden club thing.

Black Numenorian Marauders ingame:


Black Numenorian Marauders using their Spill Oil power (some other Marauders have already lit their oil):


The Marauders spilling gunpowder:


Gunpowder lit:


The Black Numenorian Marauders are not very strong or fast, but they can cause great destruction with their powers:
1 - Plunderers of Umbar (Steals resources whenever attacking structures)
2 - Spill Oil (Spills oil on the ground and then lights it to set the ground in flames)
3 - Spill Gunpowder (Spills gunpowder on the ground to cause a deadly explosion when lit)

Spill Oil and Spill Gunpowder both require specialisation to work, which means that you first have to buy the upgrade for a power, then you can only use the power you just bought.

They look very cool But the binding looks little out of place
Are they expensive units ?

[Gherrick]

They look funny but great Nice to pwn some enemies with few umbar dudes But one thing...31/05/07...uuuh...are you sure of that update? Here in Poland date is 31/03/07

[IthronAiwendil]

[zimoo]

Lol, maybe I should check my binding more when I make models >_<

King Palace, the main unit production building of Evil Men:


These two pics show you how a new Evil Men spell, Deception of Romestamo, works. First you target enemies, and then those enemies start fighting against each other




Another spell, called Summon Variag Allies:


Axemen of Khand fight against Ered Luin Sentries:


Desert Wind, a 5 power point spell which blast units into the air:


And finally, Goldberry, the wife of Tom Bombadil (I might have her as a summoned hero for the Elves):

Not keen on Goldberry, the colours are too intense.

Rest looks interesting, is there an FX for the desert winds power?

There is some sort of dust FX, but I will make it better when I have time...

[Juissi]

Ithron I didnt realise that Goldberry would look so, shiny in-game because in W3D viewer it looks ok so to fix that maybe you could make the skin little darker to make the colours look more normal

[Devon]

does it ever actually say in the books shes his wife?



nice update though, i like the desert winds power

[Juissi]

Yes it does When hobbits arrive to the House of Bombadil it says so.
