[King Théoden]

He must have been joking... you were joking, right?

I hope he was joking

[HMD Temeraire]

I leave the forum for two minutes and this shows up.
Once more got to say incredible job.

You know, I may not have the critical eye of a modeller, but for a faction that was churned out in King Kong's "spare time," to me it has no real lack in quality compared to other factions. I really like the goblin faces, in particular. They remind me of what I probably thought a goblin looked like when I was a child. I also like the light, medium and heavy varieties of goblins included. Some unmounted wargs (to keep them different from Isengard) would make for a cool cavalry, if that's even possible, perhaps in a later release. I'm very much looking forward to slaughtering this faction with righteous fury!!

[Mithrandir]

Unmounted wargs are possible, we just need an animation.

Good job KK! Altough I think there are some improvments, like better dressed Snagas and more varying armour, needed. But great enough for v.1. I may sound demanding but that´s not my intent, I guess I am just spoiled by the previous previews.

A suggestion for a minor improvement I want to make nevertheless; making the armour and the dresses a bit more darker, would probably cause a more movie look-like.

Awesome! Too bad I'm going to massacre them however .
I have a feeling about that I'm going to underestimate this faction though hahaha

At least they'll be playable. I'm sure they'll be more varied in later versions.

They look Awesome

I was joking as well, furthering increasing the ironi about EA:s lore rape

[Mithrandir]

I was talking to the guy who first mentioned them.

[Incan]

ya i really dont care about much unit variation in an army made out of goblins its kinda expected that they will be goblins and some trolls
either way kk amazing job again haha i love how he says he didnt spend much time yet they still look amzing kk is really the best modeller ever. nice to see another faction preview seems like the mod is almost done

[BobaFett696]

KK this is an awesome job those orcs will die nicely under my elven archers and swordsmen .

simply awesome.

[nic1794]

these are very good for not having alot of time on them.

but its basically

snaga-infantry-heavy infantry
archer snaga-archers-heavy archers.

plus trolls
not a very complex roster but i like it.
very good job KK

Wow nice models again as always. Just some suggestions for you though, is that I thought a lot of these Goblins appear to be really tall, would it be possible with some of the models to push their knees forward, bum down, and bend the bodies forward. Just to give them a crouching look, and shorten their height (im just remembering how they looked from the movies).

Another thing is that nearly every unit type appears to have all their eyes closed. Maybe instead of making them green, you could give them yellow pupils or something, to help their eyes stand out a little more.

With some of the Goblin infantry they’re also not holding the swords and axes in their hands correctly.

I love the heavy goblin Halberdiers, though one small thing I noticed is that when zoomed in and holding the poles with only one arm, that their hands don’t go around it properly. And when they hold it with two hands, they appear to massive disjointed elbows on their left arm.

Heavy Goblin infantry, these guys looks sick, and the only suggestions I could make is if you can shorten the torso plate, around the groin, because it gives the impression that these little guys are really tall.

With the Goblin heavy archers, theres a sideways screenshot of them being on the sloping hill, and I noticed that 2-3 of them have their heads pushed down really low / or their armour comes up really high and hides half of their faces.

Very nice preview! The progress is very fast by the team.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Good looking, as always! Keep it up!

That would require a new set of animations for everything.

[Fev]

Impressive. Did you rework the trolls?

[Brightgalrs]

Yes, I was joking.
