Unit Preview Thread: LOTR

Excellent :goodjob:
They look stunning, and I'm really looking forward to anything else you do regarding LOTR. Its one of my favourite brands ever

:D :D
 
That Rohirrim looks like a killer! :thumbsup:
But, I'd rather you didn't look too much on the pics posted by sobe_1_knob: the films isn't the same as the books, and Peter Jackson use some creative license here and there.
Like the wargs, for example, who doesn't look like mutated Guinea Pigs (not as I read the books, at least). :mutant:

Hmm, guess I have to think about what we need, what we want, and what we really want. :D
 
Sweet!!!!

Great looking units Utah!

Those Rohan horsemen are perdy funk-ay... could easily double
as Viking people in civ civ.
 
about the new unit (great btw): you could always do two, one with spear, one with sword :D There is no doubt they are needed.

the movie: i agree, in most cases, the characters are very good and close to my expectations after the book. GW figures are also great, even the wargs don't look exactly as in the movie (they look like something between the movie wargs and book wargs - wolves).
legolas and cave troll is another story though... :mad:
 
I love it.. its fabolus.. When u make foot unit like this for lotr simply put in differnt weapons in the hands so that we can have a wider variaty of units...

Keep up the good work..
 
The Rohan Royal Guard is finished. I've posted the unit in the finished unit forum.

YAY!!!
 
IIRC, Wargs were not your average wolves. I think they are described as "Monstrous Wolves".

I thought they were fine in the movie, although I just thought of them as big wolves in the books.

I thought the movie Cave Trolls were awesome - and what was wrong with Legolas?

oh yeah...awesome units!
 
I just think the wargs should be closer to wolves in look, and Cave Troll is too fat and horribly plastic.

I won't say what I think about the actor who plays Legolas, because it may be against the forum rules :)

Oops, offtopic :blush:
 
I thought Legolas was one of the coolest characters in the movie and in the book.
 
I agree about legolas.. I think orlando bloom did a very good job..

My idea about wargs from the books are like wolfs only:
shorter (like theyre the same body mass just squised)
a little more muscular
a little more hairy and a little "rounder" in the face..

I do think that the wargs in the movie was quite good altough they might have looked just a litlle to big and monstronus..

The cave troll was done very well... I think that it should have been more rugged but I do like the one from the movie.. the unit thats made from that is also quite great..
 
This is the unit I'm working on now. It's supposed to be one of the races of evil men, but I don't remember the name. They're seen in The Two Towers enterding Mordor through the Black Gate as Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol look on. I spent a lot of time on making the armor, but I'm still not real happy with the unit.

Do any on those people working on the Lord of the Rings mod have suggestions? Oh yeah, which race would this belong to, and what should it be called?

I don't like the shape of the shield, but I think other than that the unit looks fine. Anyway, that is my opinion.
 
Well, I looked up Haradrim, but that wasn't it. It did lead me to the answer though: Easterlings. Anyway, after seeing pictures at the website below, I see that I need to make a couple of alterations. The design on my shield is incomplete. The breastplate could be wider too.
