-- Preview of Isengard --

[Mithrandir]

But they have 2 different types of faces right now, maybe 1 or 2 more would be nice and maybe a white hand on the shields of the other units ?

Orcs have two different kinds of faces too. They also have helmets, so you won't be looking at their faces much anyway. They don't have the white hand on their shields in the movies, so I don't know where you got that from. It should be on their banners.

[Matthæus]

excellent work ! i will play with them first

[JohnLenon]

I agree, they are too clean

From movie or not, it's a very good idea to break the monotony of units.

My bad, but the orc units of Mordor have a bit more variation so I thought it would be a good suggestion. (thanks for the fast reaction btw )

[Elphir of Dol Amroth]

This is great Alletun! I think that if you add a little bit more variation in there faces and maybe paint there armour a bit with the white hand, than your preview is in my opinion the best one out there! Also I miss the Dunlendings and regular Orcs/Halforcs a bit in the preview, but besides from that you've done an awesome job.

I like the black uniform, it looks intimidating. Imagine hundreds of those marching at you, it'd look like an army of ants. Awesome...

That's the thing, orcs are supposed to be rabble, while Isengard's Uruk-hai are more uniform and disciplined.

[Himitu]

wow~~~~~

[Radboud]

@ Mithrandir, I agree with you on that when it comes to the armor and weaponry.

[Phunkracy]

However some diversity beetween units would not destroy their coolness.

Am I wrong, Mith?

Yes, but however they are orcs and all orcs are dirty and sweaty. Maybe this Uruk can be different dirty? I mean some blots etc. It's a suggestion of course, becouse I love this units and they look great

[Mithrandir]

They'll get dirty in combat, all units do. The iron textures aren't exactly shiny either.

[Devils_Advocate]

Great work Aletun! You are as talented as I supposed. The textures are probably the best I´ve seen so far. There is just one thing that looks weird to me, it´s that thing on the Scout´s, Bowmen´s head, probably it´s supposed to be their hair...

Maybe you can rework it, that´s for me the only thing that keeps those units from being perfect.

[Mithrandir]

Those are ponytails, I believe.

[Morthon]

Very nice indeed!! Been waiting for this preview for so long! They're beautiful! Didn't expect them so soon xD

Just one thing: Why do some appear to have red skin? Aren't they supposed to have skin as black as coal? Is that because of the light or something? It just looks weird.

[helmersen]

Great preview!! Are you going to give them the white hand also?

[JohnLenon]

No, they were a bit red
But about Scouts, I think they should looks like that:

But this scouts not be bad too

[Mithrandir]

They're grinning and thus exposing their gums.

Great preview!! Are you going to give them the white hand also?

Banners.

[helmersen]

Even better

I'm sorry, what did you mean?
