looks interesting,nice work ill keep an eye on this

[Ceasar Gubius]

I like it ! But one hero that needs work is Gandalf..... I would particularly say he needs Glamdring! Put that in his right hand and his staff in his left... Also it would be could if you could make him Gandalf the White instead of Grey ....

[Louis Lux]

I'll definitely make something with Gandalf but I do believe he is included in the mod as Gandalf the white in the fellowship campaign.

[Ceasar Gubius]

I'll definitely make something with Gandalf but I do believe he is included in the mod as Gandalf the white in the fellowship campaign.

That would be great ! But I'm almost positive that when I played the fellowship campaign, it was the Grey. I could be wrong though.... Adding Shadowfax would be neat as well .

legolas needs work , perhaps the body and the face...

legolas needs work , perhaps the body and the face...

Legolas never looked like legolas in the game, I'll see if I can amend that.

[Venia]

why is everyone complaining about the heroes,
they're just one of the thousands of men

[Taro_M]

I created few lesser heroes models for my project:

Imrahil
Forlong
Angbor
Beregond
Damrod
Hirluin
Mablung
Madril

I also redone Boromir to give him heavy armor instead of fellowship clothes.

Im just letting you know.

[glassakias]

i know most people don't like him but Denethor would be a good idea.


also you could ask koultouras to give you Celeborrn so you can include him for vanilla. then, you can change the textures of the generic elven general to something more "eldarish" and have elrond.


edit: i think Taro's Imrahil should be included, if he agrees of course

[Pallas]

i know most people don't like him but Denethor would be a good idea.

I totally agree, Denethor would be cool. Gothmog and Eomer should existing too.
Celeborn, more dwarven heroes etc.
And all the other factions which don`t have any heroes, like Rhun, Harad, Dale, OotMM should have heroes too.

[ELB27]

also,i think it would be cool to have all heroes recruitable in custom battles (with bodyguards or as single units)

[Agentdiaz]

Il keep a good eye on this. Making heroes look sexy is my type of thing.

[Ayleid]

As the title suggest I'm going to edit existing heroes and make new ones, priority will be given to fellowship heroes and then I'll focus on other important characters from the movies, when that's done I'll see if I can add some heroes that are not included in the movie trilogy.
Nothing brand new here but that's the quality I'll be aiming at:

Aragorn

Gimli

Saruman

Heroes must be hard to make 'aesthetic' as they can't hide behind a helmet, and we are expected to see their faces all the while. Plus, people will moan if they don't resemble their counterparts in the movies. But these look astounding! The resemblence is uncanny, very good work there!

Legolas, Gandalf, Boromir, Faramir, Denethor, Elrond, Haldir & Lurtz would really benefit from this amount of detail being applied to them. You are, quite literally, a God when it comes to making the game appear more aesthetically pleasing and this isn't something which anyone else, in my opinion, can rival you in.

Keep up the good work, I'll be watching this thread!

+Rep.

[Kapone20]

Those just look STUNNING!
Keep up the very good job with al the other heroes your planning to do

[kaiser1993]

In the future if you create new heroes i would suggest Elrond and Gothmog

[TiFlo]

Nice idea. Coming from you, I'm sure this will be top notch work and will fit right in.

[Benox]

In the future if you create new heroes i would suggest Elrond and Gothmog

yeah elrond plis

[Ayleid]

yeah elrond plis

Where's the love for Haldir?

[Yarrum]

If I had to rate desired heroes in order of importance, I guess I'd put it like this:

1. Eomer
2. Elrond
3. Dain Ironfoot
4. Gloin or Thorin Stonehelm
5. Denethor
6. Celeborn or Gothmog
7. Erkenbrand or Theodred or Imrahil
8. Brand
9. Halbarad or Gamling
10. Lurtz (Already in Development)

I'm not actually affiliated with this project though so those are just my opinions.
