Rohan Archer (War of the Ring) (Model)

Looks good, and works just fine in-game. Apart from being a LOTR character, it's a really nice low-tier male archer, which seems to me our database lacked. Approved.

Not sure about the Arthas pretty boy face for Rohan - I feel like Rohan is tough back country deserving of a dirtier face. If it were a gondor archer, then ok. Maybe use a bandit or peasant instead. Still, great work - keep these War of the Ring hot cake coming.

This is probably a great standard Human Archer-type model, one which is sorely needed. But I just can't get over that Arthas-head; I'm too steeped in Warcraft to not see it as incongruous. :<

\\EDIT\\ - Much better. What is that, priest face? Either way, better.

Did you change the face and boots? Looks much better - however arthas's hair is still throwing me off. I know a lot of people from Rohan have long blonde hair - however those are the nobles, i don't think a peasant archer will have the noble family's hair - idk, it might just be me tho. Edit - maybe just needs a beard.

Im sure you can use one of the bazillion arthas skins to change the hair color to whatever needed.

Great idea mate. That would definitely do the trick - maybe this one would do the trick ( although its a little too dark for this model, maybe de-saturate the brown a bit). Also @Eagle XI , I'm gonna send you my models later this week because I'm updating, reshaping and tweaking all of the buildings I customized off of Mike's assets. Appreciate all the work you're putting into icons, thanks.
