I've had this update done and ready since early this week, but I have not been able to connect to the forums at all this week.

anyways here it is.

First, the renders of the new units. *I'm missing the Mirkwood archers, the model doesn't show up right in W3D Viewer, but you will see, they are in-game*

Skins by: Eldarion
Models by: SDK Kwen
Coding by: SDK Kwen

A redone version of the lorien warriors, both swordsmen and archers.




Here's a pair of banner carriers. Mirkwood, and the Mithlond guard banner carrier.




Now the Celeborn heavy armour concept, finalized.



Time for the screenshots. They are mostly screens of the units described above and their respective hordes.

















Now a few pictures of the Last Alliance elves displayed in the previous update. All in-game.

One word...

awesome

[Elrond99]

very nice work, although I personally would like the Lorien Warriors/Archers to have less armor, but all of them are perfect skins

[Yarrum]

Wow, that update definately was massive. Keep up the good work.

What armor? The only armor the Lorien Warriors/Archers have is the leather stomach portion of the Galadhrim armor that I copied over (and that only on heavy armor), and the leather vambraces. You think that's too much?

Question for Kwen: is it possible, without ridiculous and excessive remodelling, to remove the redundant weapons from the Lorien Warriors/Archers? So that the Warriors would have just swords and the Archers just bows and quivers? It just seems a little odd for them both to have both right now, yet not be able to toggle.

Question for everyone: You may have noticed I made new banner tops for the Mithlond and Mirkwood banners. Now, I'm going to make new banners for Lorien, Rivendell, and the Last Alliance, and while the Lorien banner will use the old Elven banner top (redone, of course), I have no idea what to do for the Rivendell and LA ones. Any ideas?

Nice work!

[Rob38]

Indeed, those skins are truly an excellent work of art.

My only complaint is one I've always had with BFME; the "banner top" is far too large. It's nice, but astonishingly unrealistic. But everything else is wonderful

So a simple reduction of that portion of the model's size (fifty-percent at the most) would solve this problem.

EDIT: Actually, looking back on them, I must say that some of those skins are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! except for the EA box-hands but that's not really your fault.

My models that I make I try to have them resemble the style that EA uses (uhhg) just so it feels like it belongs in the game. I'm not a fan of the new stuff looking completely out of place

And that's what I realy like of this mod.
But, didn't your Uruks have shields, I once saw them here in your mod, they were really great with those shields.
Did you delete them?

[Elvenlord]

I can't believe I missed this!
Good work!

Wow, i've been unable to connect to the forums from my home computer for nearly a month and a half if not more. So I apologize that nothing has been done.

To answer your question, No thes hields have not been taken out, what I have done is made them a purchasable upgrade for the uruk-hai, ot slows them down slightly but they have more armour, plus it looks sweet.

[{IRS}Athos]

Oh... awesome.

[CIL]

Great job!

Wait, will the Lorien units get a heavy armor upgrade?

They do, its just subtle.

Wow... looking at this again, to quote the great Adam Sandler:
