I finally have a rohan related update for KotW! It's their new infantry unit the "Men of the Westfold".

Background: This model was made by Nertea but has been edited by me. The skin was originally by Nertea as well but almost all of it has been replaced, only the cloth on the arms and legs and the boots are his. All the armor is new (top tunics, scale mail, and leather armor were made from scratch by me the chainmail was a pic), the faces, helmets, and shields are also all new. Lauri gets an assist on the faces and the shields as we both worked on them.

Also this model is lua scripted so that there is variation in the battalions... 14,580 possible variations A number that I just found out about

No more talking! Here they are:













Note: These are not the final versions... there are two or three small things I am going to be fixing. But they won't be too noticable.

So, what do you think?

I think they're great.

[Rob38]

I think they're great.

Me too! How a Rohan army should like Nice and random

[Hearach]

Wow That's a lot of variations. I like how you've gotten spears and axes in a single battalion

[Lif-alan]

very nice

i like the sheilds (probably spelled it wrong) most

[Sûlherokhh]

I hope they swing their axes and thrust their spears!

They are great! Good work!

*longing to see them ingame* Sûl.

[GothmogtheOrc]

I hope they swing their axes and thrust their spears!

Sort of... the animations work for that but I haven't coded them that way yet. That's one of the little problems I have to fix before they are good to go. I already know what I'm going to do though so it should be easy enough

[Sûlherokhh]

Great!
I also have some ideas (lua -> Upgrades -> ModelConditions -> AnimationState).
If you hit a dead end, let me know. But i guess you won't be needing any help with that.

[Servant of Sauron]

Cool. Awesome, Rohan is easily my favorite good faction.

Gothmog, I've gotta PM you. Don't let me forget.

[Downfall]

Spears, axes, swords in one battalion oh my.

Great work Gothmog

woww
those models are actually awesome
nice work!

ahh yess i was wondering whethere they'd all have the same attacking anims...

[clonecommand]

I think they're great.

For those that don't understand this post, I am agreeing with Matias.

[Taralom]

i'm thinking:

can my computer be capable of handling this

[Devon]

awesome. will they do different types of damage depending on what weapon they have?

[GothmogtheOrc]

can my computer be capable of handling this

Definately yes they are the same as any other unit with just 2 more weapons which won't affect anything

awesome. will they do different types of damage depending on what weapon they have?

ooh, I hadn't thought of that... I'll try some stuff and see if it is possible... I'll let you know

ur just use the same code as the rohan peasants... then the axe/spear/whatever can have different animations, weapons, armours, whatever the hell you want...

i take it your gonna make sure they hold their weapons properly (so it is in the hand, not hovering next to it) and you may want to look at the rigging on the elbows, i find it normally helps to add some vertices to make it look right when its bent.

love the randomness though, and the skins and models are top notch

Actually Sûlherokhh helped me script it so they are all set up. It was all of 3 lines of code

Lol, I forgot.. was working on some other models. I'll have to do that now.
