Awesome! Beats the heck out of Spder Riders.

I cant remember the last time I used Goblins. Mabye now I will start using them.

[coolyboy77]

yes i love goblins now.

[clonecommand]

I like the wargs a lot! They look awesome!

[Garrison Nomad]

Those are great wargs. An idea would be to not make them in such rigid lines, though. give em a spread out battalion,a nd maybe increase the horde size, since they're goblins.

oh, and the spread out thing could apply to all cavalry, maybe. the rigidity of battalions, especially cav, has always seemed unrealistic to me, especially for evil factions.

[Nazgûl]

I agree, I will ask Sul to fix that =)

[Garrison Nomad]

whoo. Das cool. I did like bfme1 in the aspect that the battalions were small enough for everyone to spread out. looks like the cav will finally be able to do that. Nice, man. Really nice.

[CapnAstroSponge]

Wow, those look even better in game!

Oh, and I like the new name for it...Moria Faction sounds cool.

[Juissi]

Those wargs...

[Nazgûl]

Yeah Lauri is awesome... I never thought they'd turn out that good. But he made them exactly like I would want with the grey wargs and all. And my new Goblin skins work perfectly with them =)


Here's a new addition...
Master Windu promised us some nice HQ models of Gondor troops, but he's kinda busy doing other things ATM and I rather have his Uruks finished first... So while waiting for those Gondor units I got some awesome skins from master skinner Eldarion again, donated by him and Argolis (Wars of Arda are SEE's nr#1 Contributor (not counting RJ mod who's in alliance with SEE )

Anyway, here's the new fresh and MUCH better high res look for Godor soldiers...



The only "problem" left is that both of the Gondor soldier skins shown are NOT the same model as the regular units (swordsmen, archers...) - the Banner Carrier and the Structure soldier use models with better shapes and detail, so these look better than the units. I will ask Lauri or TDP to switch models so we can use this excellent model for ALL gondor soldiers (swordsmen, archers, pikemen (to be added) and siege units)...

But either way - HAIL to the master skinner Eldarion - a great source of inspiration to me when I do my own skins

[Lauri]

looks great

[CapnAstroSponge]

I like em, but when it comes to Gondor Skins, the changes aren't as noticeable, you know?

[clonecommand]

One more for effect


Those are absolutly AMAZING! My favorite skins yet!

The hands a feet are a little cubish, but the rest of skin is well done! And a new model, too? Excellent!

[Nazgûl]

Heh eyeah the model is not new, only better. EA use it for the Banner Carrier and the dude in the Barracks (just as in the screens). The regular models are like half that good in shape. Especially the head which looks like an American football on those

[clonecommand]

Oh, I get it now! I hadn't realized that the models also defined the shape! I thought it only did anims.

And this:

Heh eyeah

Are you snorting or something in forums terms?

[Juissi]

Looking awesome but maybe you could do little fixing to the banner Because it would be a shame when all the skins are totally awesome but the banner sucks

[Nazgûl]

@ Clone, no it's just my keyboard... the extremely beautiful cordless thing, that's half as good as my former ugly grey dirty piece from the 90:s

@ Juissi: Yeah that's just the texture, I guess we could switch to a high res texture and it will be fine. But all banner carriers will be reworked basically, once I find a modeler with time to do it

[zachdaddy_3000]

I know i'm a little late on this, but why are you taking away Glorfindel's silver armor?

[Nazgûl]

Cause noone likes it and all Lore folks tell me it's not in line with Tolkien =p I liked it though, but I think this one is even better =)

[Nazgûl]

I was incorrect about the model... it was just the setting. You MUST have ULTRA HIGH to see them this way. I had it set to HIGH for some reason (testing back and forth u know)... Anyway, as long as you go Ultra High, you get this in Beta 4.5:

[CapnAstroSponge]

Wow, those are pretty good, and the new skyline helps with the posing and such..

Too bad ultra-high on my comp means l-l-l-l-a-a-a-a-a-a-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g..
