Gondorian Bowman

Oof, wouldn't it make sense for them to wear more plate armor?

If this were a heavy unit, yes

This is a cross between a Gondorian Swordsman and a Ranger of Ithilien, meant to compliment the soon-to-be updated Faramir model

Looks great, though whats wrong with the pauldrons?
Some chainmail or few plate armor would be nice to fit with the helmet.
Edit: lol, posted at same moment.

Hmm, @HerrDave I kinda agree with the opinions you've been given here. The helmet doesn't quite go with the rest of the model. The helmet itself doesn't look too nice: the wings are too big and the blue part is too bland.
