    I think this would get more attention and be more properly placed in the sub mods thread.

    Honestly I think they're bad.

    I think the first two are quite nice. Might be just me, but they seem to have a sort-of RTW touch, if you get what I mean.
    The White Hand in the Isengard symbol definetily needs improvement and as you said yourself the HE one is not good.

    Is a RTW touch good? I don't know whether you find that good or bad.

    @LL I only just started, and I know I can improve.

    People please suggest improvements!

    Could some mod move this to submods?

    OK, tnx for the compliment then.

    Thoughts on Dale? It will be reworked sometime as it is not good enough.

    If honestly.. I second that. You can't just take some random images from net, combine them and get a good result.
    But I hope this wouldn't discourage you because failures arn't made only by those who are doing nothing.

    The first to are nice unfortunately "the white hand of saruman" looks more like the "white hand of a disfugered person" but there aren't many great pictures of it on the net.. you could try to make your own hand print with paint and scan that into your pc.. lot of work but maybe it will give a great white hand (this really is a prehistoric method i guess xD).. The last one looks like it has been copied from a very poor quality source and has been magnified..

    but keep on the work.. you have a good start don't get me wrong.. you asked for input i just gave it straight

    Finally some useful comment.

    It is true that the white hand is bad, I think I will redo the hand. I am the most proud of the first two anyway.

    And concerning the High Elves, has been compied from a very poor quality source and magnified. Sadly I don't know what symbol would suit the High Elves. Perhaps the Evenstar?

    glad i could help.. the evenstar is a nice symbol for HE however it's silver and really get a "gold vibe" when i think about HE maybe i can be off some assistence for you conceirning your project if you want my help i could try to support you some more?

    I also thought of that, and a gold evenstar wouldn't look good (I already tried) I could try the eightrayed star of fingolfin.

    Any comments on Harad?

    It would be nice to have someone find good symbols to go on the shield.

    Harad is much nicer with a more detailed snake i think and the dwarves will do for now i guess.. there is definately improvement in the hand

    I think the Dale one shouldn't feature the Dragon. I don't believe the people of Dale and Esgaroth would enjoy having the symbol of their reconstructed nation to be what destroyed it in the first place and left them in daily fear for decades, or however long.

    Well why is Smaug on many of the Dale units their shields then?

    Good question. I haven't really looked at too many Dalian shields to notice.

    I still personally believe it wouldn't be fitting to represent themselves with something that ruined their lives. And it's not like they're renowned Dragon-slayers or anything. They only killed Smaug. And it was only really Bard who did that.

    I think it is ok, but I can think of a good reason.
    They might think: "If it scares us it will scare our enemies too."

    But I might change it to a dead dragon later on.
