Elven Factions Re-Development

[-o¿o-]

Well I thinking maybe rivendell aor for the light cavalry but that seems to be covered by the sentinels(who look great by the way),maybe some kind of lancer unit, I'm not really sure on the concept but something is needed to stop eldar cavalry becoming available so early.
On the axemen there is a line in the silmarrilion so they are supported lorewise, and a 2 handed axe unit sounds great.

Updated the op with some additional info and units, there is really no more room for new units. What would be nice now would be different descriptive ideas and concept art about weapons, shields and other attachments such as knifes and horns. The final look of some of the local units is still unclear till I draw the concept, so ideas about them would be good too.

[Earl of Memory]

Instead of light lancers, what do you think about Mounted Sentinels having javelins and axes?? That's just my idea of light cavalry though...

[Deedlit]

Well im sure in the two towers at helms deep some of them elves are women if you look. Eather that or they are just puffy looking guys. No offence to puffy looking elves. So it would be cool to have some females within the heavy silvan archers or somthing.

To be honest movies should never be used as a source of information for a thing like this. Books are main source and movies give visual aid.

I must say that this looks fantastic. I'm really glad that the Elves finally get a revamp. but that one guys post that was super long and had all the pictures from the internet or made by him was a really good concept. I think alot of those ideas are being implemented....but I would just like to say that that was a great idea and it would be cool to throw that in the game. Thanks again for this LL, and if I could...I'd rep you. spread the rep!!

Those drawings are not made by him. He means well but I think his ideas would fit better a project in the same line as Taro's gondor units. I'll be adressing some of the issues he has pointed out but in my own way.

Lindon Pikes Concept

I'll give them a partial plate visual upgrade

Eregion Smiths Sketch

Did this very quickly, it's based on a unused weta design that was the original inspiration for them. I really like it because it has some galadhrim influences and the two places are close to each other

Nice. Will the upgrade include a helmet?

Interesting. Does that mean they'll lose the shields of the original unit?

[Louis Lux]

@LL mate do u draw these concepts....if so , nice hand mate!

Of course! Didn't spend a lot of time in them either...

Helmet, probably

Shield, He is holding it in the drawing, I'll change the shield design too.

[Elfhelm]

Some very exciting stuff going on here Louis! I cry I am so happy to see it!

[athanaric]

Ouch. I didn't see that...

Those drawings are great. I can't wait for this. But I really like the pike idea.....those guys will be great to play with! BTW...have you always had that much red on your rep Louis?

Thanks, I might steal some of your shield designs . In all seriousness you're welcome to post concepts of yours.

I'm a bit in love with the pikemen too . Just got my new golden crown (I use the Total War Center skin). I remember that back when Varjon was moderating that he had way more rep than I.

[Varjon]

I haven't had time to do any rep-whor... umm... being helpful to people.

EDIT: By the way Louis, I'm not sure if I have time to send those concept arts to you today but you'll receive them tomorrow at the latest.

[obeetwo2]

louis if i could and i was homosexual i might think of marrying you, no I'm just kidding but seriously....unless thats creepy, if its creepy then i was just joking.

[Louis Lux]

@Varjon, OK

Updated Eregion Smith design:

[Stabbyman]

i rather like how the eregion smiths are already that sketch does'nt look like a huge cosmetic change to them

[TiFlo]

Louis, I probably missed some post of yours explaining that, but why not keep the Eregion Smiths model already used in TATW ?

yup that design theres almost identical to the one already in use, it seems like your talents would be better spent on the rest of the elves rather than superficial changes to an already excellent unit
