Concept for a Rhudaur horseman. Not sure how likely it would’ve been for the hill-men of Rhudaur to have any horse riders in their army during the Witch-King’s campaign in Angmar, but there could’ve been some at least. Otherwise any horsemen Angmar’s army must’ve had, if any would’ve been of Black Numenorean stock (or “Dark Dunedain”) Or of course, just orcs on wargs/wolves may’ve been enough.

Still fun to speculate, and maybe conceptualize into a visual medium

An old colored piece I did of some tolkien-esque orcs loosely based off the uruk-hai. I opted for a more Greco-Roman/Medieval English mix influenced armor 

Hey all, so I finally, just recently start dabbling in modifying some bfme models, but only so much so since I'm still new to Blender and the art of modding in itself; and w3d and BIG.files are whole other animals for me to tame.

Never the less I was able to make some minor accomplishments in this virtual medium.

My first test flight was with trying to redesign the mumakil and make them look more like elephants than in the films and the games, apply re-sizing and re-shaping their ears and adjusting their facial tissue between the trunk and the tusks from the skull up.




I should also note I intended to use the newer models more akin to the films, courtesy of the team behind Age of the Ring mod, but my directory just gave me the same vanilla game model despite it's file name saying "mumamakilnew_skn.w3d"

Like I said, the game files are pretty tricky and they don't like to cooperate with me

A rough design concept for a warrior troll of Angmar. I might ditch the shield.
 

For the past year I've been brainstorming some redesigns for the mumakil/oliphaunts, making them look more like real elephants than we got in the films. So in this case I toyed with the idea there being more than one species so I thought of basing them off asian and african bush elephants. Which one of these looks better in your opinion?

Thanks, Pasidon.
