Got a nice model of Grishnákh... Model by Lord Istari (Age of Men mod) and skinned by yours truly...
Since we're scrapping fells for Isengard, I thought he could be filling in. He could be giving Leadership to the Orc Snagas of Isengard and thus be a low cost and early game hero...

Nice. Good model. Skin could use some touching up, some adjustment on the face and some shading on the chain.

[Nazgûl]

This skin is way more detailed than most units though What's wrong with the face?
The chain? What chain??

Ah, the chainmail... haha yeah I guess

[MirkwoodArcher]

He means chainmail.

[khamulrulz]

he served the great eye, though, didn't he? he was the leader of the mordor orcs that met up with ugluks uruks.

mordor have enough heroes, though, so sure, put him in isengard

[Dant]

He look really pissed.

But magnificent

[Gfire]

For the face, It looks kinda warped (mapping I'd expect) so he doesn't look that much like himself. IDK how noticeable that would be in the game, though.

And yeah, he was an orc of mordor. Can't believe I missed that.

Lugdush would be a better one for Isengard, I guess, though he had a slightly smaller role in the book.

I actually had to look up who Lugdush was... He might be a good one---lesser known, but belongs to Isengard.

Since SEE is following movie lore,I guess we won't see Lugdush.

However i want to see Lugdush in SEE , As for Grishnákh his face need a little bit remake..then it sharp and ready.

Well, I don't know if any other mod has done Lugdush, of course I am not a member of all of them, but it would be interesting to have him.

Wars of Arda have Lugdush,If i not were wrong.

Still i think it neat idea to have Lugdush and Grishnákh in SEE.

[Nazgûl]

- I don't see the problem with his face? We have several units with much less accurate faces... just study them. This is a RPG, not a first person shooter

- I won't add units that aren't seen in the movies OR needed to fill out a hero short faction, which Mordor is not. isengard will need heroes though, so I might use more from the posse of Ugluk etc. Grishnakh is indeed from Mordor, but he could be assisting Isengard i guess. He did meet up with Ugluk...

[Dant]

Good point, Thanks for explaining it.

[Nazgûl]

That "I smell something" uruk... Mauhúr... We could use him, and he could have a bonus for seeing hidden enemies. I still think I'll use Grishnakh for Isen though as well... we need a total of 2-3 new heroes added for this faction to make up for the loss of the fellbeasts.

- Wormtounge
- Grishnakh (assisting from Mordor)
- Mauhur
- Ugluk
- Lurtz
- Saruman (will be buffed)

Should cover the hero roster needs for Isengard

[Dant]

How about "Mauhúr" as range heroes, I think he could be kind of supporting heroes..since you said he have abilities to track hidden enemies. I think he will fit with range weapon..such as bow or crossbows.

[khamulrulz]

yeah grishnakh would add a new light hero for isengard... another uruk hero would be too similar to ugluk or lurtz

[Gfire]

This is a RPG, not a first person shooter

Your mod is an RPG now? Sorry, I didn't realize. I get it about the face, though. I don't think I've looked at one of the in-movie-character models in a while.

Wars of Arda have Lugdush,If i not were wrong.

Wars of Arda had everyone. That doesn't count.

If you want a ranged hero, slap a name on that Orc bowman that shot flaming arrows at the Ents. He might even have a name already, who known. (Probably at least in fan fiction.)

Mauhur could be a lighter scout support hero, fairly different from lurtz or ugluk.

Is that Dunlending guy (Wulf or whatever you called him) coming from the inn?

Isn't SEE going to have Dunland Tent, For Dunlending stuff.

[Adamin]

You forgot Sharku in the hero list. Or is he removed in SEE? A movie character? ^^

Heroes for Isengard was always bit of a problem. Most of the common unknown are already suggested like Mauhur and Wulf. Grishnakh is a good idea, although he should get some abilites that keeps him in touch with Mordor. For example in the books he was trying to meet with a Nazgul and inform him about what he found out. This could be used for something.


About Grishnakh's look:
Uh... He actually never wore any chainmail in the movie...
He had some plate armor on his chest, as well as vambraces and greaves. Everything else were orcish selfmade leather smithereens. Furthermore there was this fuzzy furcoat on his back. ^^
Here are some pictures:

It's clearer to see on this action figure (ignore the face colour ^^) :

The face is... okay. He could be a bit more bald, though.

Good stuff... I'll see what I can do

And YES I forgot completely about Sharku... *adding to Hero Roster topic*
