I've been thinking that it might be a good idea for all "good" heroes at least to have a battle Armour upgrade, whether by level (which I like the best) or by an actual upgrade.

My first attempt was at Celeborn. This is my concept for Celeborn's Heavy Armour Scheme:

*no sword or head texture yet. Model is also WIP*

*a thought, should I use the 2nd age Armour scheme, or the Galadhrim Armour scheme. I'm leaning more towards the Galadhrim because he is a Lorien elf, not a Rivendell elf.*

I'd say more towards the Galadhrim scheme, but with hints at the Second Age Noldorin design. If that makes sense

And that's a great idea. I look forward to playing this mod.

[Kwen]

Aye, thats what I was thinking. But I'll wait for a few more opinions first,

Rather cool idea actually...
Makes the heroes less dull, imo
For heroes with powers up to heaven, a level upgrade would be best of course..
But for some heroes, making it a buyable upgrade, it could have a gameplay impact, like Haldir, Legolas, Faramir and perhaps even Boromir And I'd guess all the other elves aswell

If Legolas has stealth, he could get a custom armor, which removes the stealth.. Same for Haldir and Faramir, only movie armor there
Boromir could possibly even have some changes to him, but I don't know how he is atm
As for Celeborn, I'd say, Galadhrim silver armor, possibly with Noldor details

I was thinking for haldir/faramir/legolas A level 5 buyable upgrade that permanently cause them to lose their stealth bonuses, move a wee slower, but be much better armoured.

[Eldarion]

I would say Galadhrim armor for Celeborn. That skin at the top makes me think Rivendell...Glorfindel, maybe?

[Kwen]

Perhaps that could be used for the Glorfindel Heavy Armour. This is what I had in minds for Glorfindel's Light Armour.

Perhaps i''l add a tint of blue and make it lighter eh?

Also a new version of Celeborn with Galadhrim style Armour.

Gold would be better than silver IMO...just looks better.

[Kwen]

Heres a bluer Glorfindel.

hmmm gold... it really doesn't fit good gold with the blues and silver scheme...

[mike_]

I was suggesting that for Celeborn, hehe. And the gold-red scheme is for Lorien...unless you've done away with that?

[Kwen]

mmmm... I juat kinda wanted a change... and honestly I think the Gold/Red scheme is uniform for elves. *except mirkwood* look at elronds armour, noldor warriors...

and yeah i was talking about celeborn too.

[Eldarion]

I like Glorfindel, and Celeborn , though the pics seem rather pixelated...

One suggestion on Glorfindel: make only parts of his clothing blue, and keep the rest gray. Like make the light part blue and the dark part gray, or the other way around - more variety that way.

[Kwen]

the reason they seem pixelated is because I sharpened the images, its looks crappy in the viewer, but it helps for seeing them better ingame.

I may try the mixing and matching you suggest for glofy thanks.

[Lauri]

get some real eyes for Glorf

[Kwen]

i was improvising

[Eldarion]

Hey Kwen, could you send me those Glorfindel and Celeborn models/skins? The models I've got of them to play with are a bit...weird...

Only if you're willing for me to mess with them, of course .
