    Default the serpent guard of harad rework.

    I would like someone to remodel the serpent guard harad both on foot as the horse I do not like anything to clash with all other harad units and also seem either too medieval.
    the serpent guard units of workshop are perfect.
    What is your opinion about?









    the serpent guard is as the immortals of the persian empire.

    My opinion is they are great the way they are.
    Harad's elite should wear metal armor - and be different from other units, the highest warriors, kind of like in egypt in medieval days, the normal soldiers didn't have any heavy armor but the elite ones had plate armor as well.

    I always respect your opinion,but in this case I am not agree with you.
    the serpent guard units may be better in style and modeling and in my opinion a serpent guard as the workshop style that these units have armour also,is much better than the current units.
    these units does not clash with army style harad.












    masterbig,do you have seen the serpent guard units of the mod lotrtw based in the rome game?these units are perfects also.

    well,but is that the serpent guard units have a low quality in modeling and style,as eriador in version 1.0.

    the workshop serpent units could be greats.

    gotta say; I like serpent guards as is. I think there are other units which need re working / addition far more than Serpent Guards.

    Comparing the Serpent Guard to 1.0 Eriador is one of the most absurd things I have ever heard on this forum and shows what I feel is a lack of respect to both King Kong (who made the Serpent Guard) and to Kretchet(SiCh) (who designed the original Eriador).

    Not to mention that the elite of Harad should have that reflected in the quality of their equipment, rather than putting giant, ridiculous bones on their backs. They are fine as is.

    My main objection is that you said this:

    When that is clearly, clearly, clearly NOT the case.

    Edit: unless you play the mod on a monochrome monitor from the early '90s that is also haunted.

    I totally agree.. the gamesworkshop units have no qualities and no style! Sorry couldn't resist that! I have to say that they look too much like the ordinary Haradrim spearmen imo. I remember Ral Partha and Citadel minatures! Now they were quality figurines.

    They do seem out of place. Although the Mumakill should be improved on first. And before you ask why, i made a topic up some time ago about the mumakill, so just look that up for your questions.

    Perhaps they should add a new unit based on the Games Workshop models.

    Really? Someone actually doesn't like this unit? It has to be one of the best looking units in the entire game, right up there with the Rhun Dragon regiments. I'm a fan of many of GW's models but, I definitely think the Third Age team got the upper hand on them with this unit. Who would want to trade that lovely chain mail coat for even more rags?

    Clearly has his priorities straight.

    I agree, I love the current Serpent Guard models. Anibal, just because you disagree with King Kong's stylistic choices doesn't mean it's fair to him to say they're as bad as the old Eridaor units, because that's just plain wrong. Also, those Games Workshop units really don't impress me. I say leave them the way they are, especially since I don't see King Kong reworking them any time soon.

    Leave them for now. They're ok.

    Personally I'd like a comprimise between the GW models and our full plate guys, but that'd be in the distant future as there are other bigger things that require the attention of our master.

    A padded chain mail coat =/= full plate. If it were full plate, I'd completely agree that it doesn't fit Harad at all. As is I don't think they clash with Harad's army style in the slightest, in fact I think they compliment it quite well. They do a very good job of displaying that they are a step or two above Harad's common rabble. You don't need an entire roster to look virtually identical for it to flow together nicely.

    Clearly has his priorities straight.

    Honestly, I think the serpent guards are some of the coolest looking units in the game. I'd like them to stay as they are.

    i like them as they are now, just my opinion

    Seems like there have been a lot of recent threads about remodeling units to look like games workshop stuff

    Personally I like them the way they are. Harad, like Rhun, should look like it has some professional units and not just be a bunch of turban-wearing militia. Games workshop isn't very imaginative in it's designs, if you ask me

    I also like the look of the serpent guard as they are now. They were supposed to be elite. Being decked out in scale armor represents this.

    Although the picture of the persian immortal would be a good idea for another Harad unit... something with Bow and spear+ red shield/buckler. Serpent archers?

    They are not bad the way they are, but i think they looks very "different" in style from the rest of harad troops. Maybe using bronze-coloured armour parts and a bit more of black (maybe the robes under the armor) could make them blending more between the rest of the roster.
    It's only after you have lost everything, that you are free to do anything.
