THAT video is simply stunning...
I mean... see why I can't let SEE die?

[Gfire]

I'd suggest you scale up the Hwaldar (sp?) model for Beorn. He was kinda short.

[Nazgûl]

How big was Grimbeorn compared to a regular human?

Here's the first screen of Thorin III Stonehelm in SEE, right next to his father Dain


Model by: IthronAiwendil (Used as Ring Hero in WotE mod)

Thotin III not II *darn keyboard*

[Hermoor]

It's the guy to the right right? O.o
Looks good, you mkae tese textures by hand in photoshop?

[Downfall]

Finally, a dwarf with a sword

[yams in a can]

LOOK HERE!

People realize that this Thorin is not the same one from The Hobbit. This one is from the war of the ring and became king under the mountain when King Dain was killed in the Battle of Dale. So think before you give suggestions for him.

I think it would be cool if he could mount a battle wagon, or summon the all the dwarfs from the Hobbit.

[Nazgûl]

This is not the topic for suggestions... this topic is just for display of what's being added.

The new hero is not Thorin Oakenshield no, it's Thorin III Stonehelm (as stated above) which apparently was alive during the war of the ring... and he comes complete with his sword Orcrist

[khamulrulz]

dain's beard should be white.... he was very old at the time of the war of the ring. as for beorn, if you are going to reuse hwaldar from rotwk, i would give him black hair instead of red... i recall the hobbit describing him as such. thorin looks great

You're right. I'll fix that =)

Hey naz, I saw Ed' Rhun king a few days ago, and I was wondering if you've been in contact with him recently. Cause I haven't, and I'd sure like to be

and he comes complete with his sword Orcrist

Just for clearing things, before someone might burst out in rage, and get's banned
Orcrist was the sword of Thorin Oakenshield, not Thorin Stonehelm. After his death it was never used again, they put it on his tomb, and it signaled if the enemies came by glowing in blue light, like Sting (or how Glamdring should, but PJ left it out...)

Here's the source ---> http://www.tuckborough.net/swords.html

Anyway... I love the Thorin model, and finally I can see a dwarf with a sword. What a relief.

[Gfire]

But do note that it was sealed in rock and they couldn't actually be signaled by the thing.

The Arkenstone was down there with him too, iirc.

Looks great in the game, though.

No I haven't... and I'd like that too

Orcrist... wllright. I guess it's just an ordinary sword then

Here's DWALIN in game:

Can't polish the axe throw to work 100% so I'm not sure if I'll keep this one... We'll see what Sul can do...

[Devon]

Ah...that's a shame. I guess the Rhun guy was donated a while ago then, and just now got coded in?

[Flame_of_Anor_]

Thorin Stonehelm looks very nice-my fav new dwarf hero.

How big was Grimbeorn compared to a regular human?

As he is of the race of the Northmen (ancestors of the Rohirrim): from six feet to six feet four inches; not higher than the Dúnedain (descendants of the Númenóreans), but broader and heavier build, cf.:

[of the great stature of the Númenóreans]

... two rangar was often called 'man-high', which at thirty-eight inches gives an average height of six feet four inches, but this was at a later date, when the stature of the Dúnedain appears to have decreased ...

It is however said of the great people of the past, that they were more than man-high. Elendil was said to be 'more than man-high by nearly half a ranga; but he was accounted the tallest of all the Númenóreans who escaped the Downfall.

The Rohirrim were generally shorter, for in their far-off ancestry they had been mingled with men of broader and heavier build. Éomer was said to have been tall, of like height with Aragorn; but he with other descendants of Thengel were taller than the norm of Rohan, deriving this characteristic (together in some cases with darker hair) from Morwen, Thengel's wife, a lady of Gondor of high Númenórean descent.

The ranga is said to have been the length of the stride, from rear heel to front toe, of a full-grown man marching swiftly but at ease; a ranga is slightly longer than a yard, approximately thirty-eight inches.

Simply Amazing, I think Dwalin model is best.

[Hermoor]

The one to the right look cool, the others looks good too. But who wants to play with dwarfes when there are elves
