What exacly is the usage of Baz44331 new mirkwood elven models in DAC?

I mean this:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...icial-Patch-M2

Wrong thread. But I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is none. Baz' models are not released AFAIK. And DaC would be using work by Shurshun.

Lothlórien

This ancient realm is a home of the Silvans, masters of woodcraft.
They have welcomed valiant and learned Sindar as their lords, and opened their borders for Noldor who fled from the destruction of Eregion.
The kingdom must now draw from the strength of each kindred in order to defy Mordor's tyranny and strengthen the Alliance of Elves and Men.
Celeborn and Galadriel offer their aid, and king Amdir whet his axe.

Great introduction, your knowledge of the lore is impressive! It's good to see the commentary on the thinking behind details such as the information screen about Edhellond. It looks like a lot of work has gone into the different kingdoms represented in the mod.

[Ngugi]

Thanks Alwyn, both on behalf of the team and personally
Lore was how I stumbled into modding long ago hehe, and we've held it as a guiding light ever since. Though a good Tolkien game must also be a good game in first instance, so we always been thorough with the game design in all steps I dare say (debates over years before final decisions, flow charts and statistical diagrams all have had their part, haha). We certainly hope that shall shine trough with each faction, offering an experience of its own.

Galadriel

As foretold we follow up the Lothlórien video, see last page, with a Galadriel preview.
The Noldor royal lady, spouse of the Sindar prince Celeborn, support Lothlórien and can severly penalize any hostile general attacking the forest.

With this video and post we for the first time present a brand new battlefield model, created by Luis Lux and Veil-script by Withwnar





Source: https://youtu.be/QRdtzq2REWg

The phial is made by Kahvipannu. 3D models for hands and feet are by Musculus Maximus.
The bodyguard are retextured by Arioria of mithlond; based on the Eldarinwë Archers from TATW, made by Louis Lux.



Biography: Galadriel, or Artanis as she was named by her father Finarfin, kinswoman to Gil-galad, is the last remaining of the leaders who lead the Noldor into Exile and to Middle-earth, where they fought the long defeat against Morgoth and his servants.
No oaths she swore, but she yearned to see the wide unguarded lands and to rule there a realm at her own will.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In Middle-earth she met and wedded Celeborn, kinsman of high king Thingol of Doriath, and learned much from his queen Melian the Maia. She was close to her brother Finrod Felagund of Nargothrond, who fought Sauron valiantly in a duel of magic, but was killed in his dungeons.
In the Second Age she and Celeborn settled in Eriador as lords, south of Lake Evendim. First not known in name, when Sauron returned she made it her quest to oppose the surviving evil, but she could not affect the affairs of Eregion where Celebrimbor and his smiths created the Rings of Power and were deceived by Sauron in his then fair-looking hue.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Celebrimbor entrusted her with one of the Three Rings, Nenya, ere Eregion fell in 1697, but the Ring of Adamant may not be used as long as Sauron has the One, and he desire it greatly.
Few individuals the Dark Lord fear, but this the perhaps greatest of all Noldor is one of them, yes perhaps could she even wield the One Ring if it came into her possession...?
She and her husband have been concerned about Lothórien's situation troughout the Age. In that land, close to Mordor, Sindar princes rule over Silvan Elves, and also some Noldor, refugees led by Galadriel there after Eregion fell.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The ever designing couple recently returned, after time spent in Lindon, Edhellond and Imladris, when Mount Doom once again erupt. Offering her services as councellor to king Amdír, as Celeborn his aid, she is a wise overseer, able to divine what occurs in the world trough her mirror, and stand up in the defence.
Clad by surviving smiths of Eregion in their best armour, fitting a, and in tradition of, Noldor royalty. Armed with a staff and phial she encourage her forces, and put terror in the hearts of the enemy.
