Heroes Mod for 3.1 - [RELEASED]

[Louis Lux]

More detail and this guy is gonna start coming alive

Strider

[Yarrum]

He looks great. One suggestion though; I'd recommend that you tilt his quiver down more. At the moment, it looks sort of awkward and heavy given the positioning of the quiver strap across his chest. See this picture to get what I mean:

Edit: Since you have his Elvish cloak and Lorien brooch already on the model, would you like me to model his Elven dagger when I get home tomorrow? It shouldn't take me more than an hour or two to have it modeled and mapped, and I could use the practice (plus, modeling weapons is way more fun than mapping Lurtz ).

Can't see your spoiler tag, you mean more tilted right? I'll see what I can do

The dagger would be great, I wanted to add it but was too lazy to model and map it.

[Yarrum]

I think I fixed the spoiler tag issue but either way, yes, I meant more tilted. I'll get to the dagger tomorrow afternoon.

[Louis Lux]

Nice pic, surprised I haven't see that before.

Better?


Should the feather of the arrow be black?

[Yarrum]

It looks better, but I'd need to see the model from the front as well to tell. And yes, the feathers should be black. Here's a picture of Aragorn's ranger equipment:

[Yarrum]

Yeah, that's much better.

[glassakias]

really? didn't remember that. is it only in the movies?

[Raiven]

really? didn't remember that. is it only in the movies?

Yes. And hes name is not even mentioned in film scenes.

[fritsje5]

Maybe make King Bard the Bowman a hero? He seems a pretty influential person

[Legio]

Pretty cool Strider.

[glassakias]

got it. BFME 2 that is. i don't think he should be added because he looks like the average warg rider and also, it's obvious his name derives from Saruman's Sharku, many people will complain about lore. Strider looks awesome, a vast improvement in comparison to the vanilla one

[Pallas]

I don`t want to provocate an discussion about the name sharku. But this complainig about "It is lore-wise or not" sucks, I mean this is an fantasy-mod and as long as the own created heroes or units or whatever, fits to the lore-universe, it is ok to create and add own things or persons.
And because of "Sharku", I suggest him, because he would be another type of hero for Isengard, because he would ride on a warg and is not an Infantry-man like Ugluk and Saruman. But it was just an idea.
And at Louis Lux great submod and great work so far, I hope you create a lot of heroes for every faction.

[Yarrum]

Actually, Saruman was Sharkey, not Sharku.

[glassakias]

Sorry, never read the name in english

[Vaz]

Actually, Sharku meant Old man I believe in Orcish, and Saruman didn't understand.

As for King Bard, wasn't dead, thought it was King Bain?

[Yarrum]

Yeah, here's a bit on the name from Wikipedia:
"In the book, Sharkû is a name used for Saruman himself by his servants, meaning "old man". It is modified to "Sharkey" by his minions when they take over the Shire."

Also, Bard was in fact dead at the time of the mod.

[Vaz]

That was it. Cheers.

[Louis Lux]

I'll start on the gandalf(s) next. Anyone care to model Glamdring and scabbard?
