hey, this is gunna be wherre i put all my updates from now on.

so anyways todays update is just a small one but they are some of my best skins yet, towerguard is the best i have ever done. all from scratch except from the chainmail.





you can now only get 2 units of towerguards at one time, but they will be very powerful elite troops. pelagir spearmen take the role of towerguard only they cant get the upgrades

These are good, but I think you should make the tower guards' eyes smaller.

[Dindi]

thanks, but i doubt the eyes will be noticable ingame

[Uruk King]

Could you put a White Tree emblem on the Tower Guards and Pelargir Spearmen. And give the regal spear of the tower guards back to them, because a sword is not very fitting.

[zimoo]

Lol, the only weapon(s) ever mentioned for the 'Tower Guard' are Beregond's and Pippin's swords, as far as I remember.

Also, in Tolkien's world all the main human characters wield swords (Turin, Aragorn, Boromir, Theoden, the list goes on). Therefore, for an elite Gondorian unit, a sword is most suitable.

that would really make the pelagir spearmen pointless, and is there any evidence they used spears???

[Caluadan]

good work Dindi
a pity I don't have bfme1 installed...

[Eonwe]

Those tower guards have a cool color. made me laugh.

I didn't know that pelargir spearmen were elite, if I did I wouldn't complain .I thought the Guards of the Fountain Court (the ones with the great spears) were a more regal division of soldier, and the Citadel Guards were Denethor's personal guard with swords (and bow on occasion) and were different from the Fountain Guards.

But your models could always have a sword/spear toggle

But your models could always have a sword/spear toggle

possibility but not sure how that would work (model and binding wise)

[zimoo]

You could do it like EA do their rohirrim in BFME2. 2 seperate models, 2 sets of animations switched based on the model state.

[Servant of Sauron]

Looks really good Dindi! Keep it up!

[Dindi]

thanks SOS , and why do the colours look funny on the tg

[Servant of Sauron]

Sorry, was that colours question directed at me? I don't think the Tower Guard colours look funny at all.

[Dindi]

no lol, iit was directed at lord of the grunts, soz should of made myself more clear

[Eonwe]

It justs looks colorful Dindi. If they stay that way... Which I hope. Just do like someone said, and make thier eyes smaller.

I like the sword Idea. So will we be able to have both Tower Guard Spearmen, and swordsmen?

[Uruk King]

Thankyou Dindi

finally another update.

first of all here is the new rohan axeman, they have poor armor but a good attack and good at taking out monsters such as trolls which kill most thins in one hit anyway.




the new rohan footmen, the backbone of any rohan infantry force, they can be upgraded wih spears to increase their attack.



new elven rangers. you will only be able to get them through the elven summon. they are better than the the rohan elves who where their orginally, they can handle themselves in clos comabt aswell.



a new cavarly horde for rohan is the outrider. the yare eguipped with longbows and are expert sshots. altough you can only have two hordes of these riders at a time as they are so experienced



finally the morgual orc. heavily armoured and armed these are the elite of mordor. but due to the fact they arent as common as other orcs you may only have 4 of each type at any one time. although 4 is enough to cause your enemy a lot of trouble.



soon another update with ingame shots including some of teh new powers and the ai who are now more aggressive

thanks dindi

Very well done, especially the Morgul orcs.
