Inspiration for these models

Frostfaust · Jan 11, 2019

Amazing!

But the Sorceror and the Swordman both are the Sorceror File, no?

Dinodin · Jan 11, 2019

Cool models!

infrenus · Jan 11, 2019

Godamid Dave, how you do that stuff dso fast and so nice every time? I really like them, they arent overdesigned and seem to fit well ingame, with simple but well made animations too. The Angmarin can be used as Dalaran soldiers or something if necessary from how close they resemble wc3 units. The banneers that come with them are nice little additions.

I seriously having problem nitpicking bad stuff from the models, only thing I could get is that you added the wrng model for the numenorian swordsman

BrazilEmperor · Jan 11, 2019

Great!

HerrDave · Jan 12, 2019

Whoops, fixed it!

Sorry about that, I had to rush to make sure people didn't download the "Massive pack" that only contained 1 guy at the time of upload :x

Hazop / Sarven · Jan 12, 2019

Noice, top notch work as usual!

LISBOAH · Jan 12, 2019

For Angmar! For Carm Dûm! For the Iron Crown! For the Witch King!

These models look very cool!

SonsOfSami · Jan 12, 2019

Well made, as expected.

Reserved means you reserve that post for a changelog or something like that, its kind of unnecessary since you can do that in the description.

HerrDave · Jan 12, 2019

Oh, snazzy

ShadowMidas · Jan 12, 2019

useful.

Basically yes. It's a way for the model creator to snag the first post for any pertinent information about the model.

Part of why one would want to do this is because many modelers have found that people simply do not read the model descriptions. However, nearly everyone stops at the first post. That's their own problem, but modelers take advantage of that tendency in this way (i.e. if you can't beat 'em, join 'em).

Secondarily (though this is less of an issue now that we have Bundles), it was also of use to allow modelers to attach all manner of related things; not only images but model/texture variations, matching icons, test maps, etc; in a way that could act as an extension of the initial "upload" format (since the "initial upload" doesn't/didn't always let you attach an arbitrary number of arbitrary files).

These guys could also make for some really good cultists!

SiyC · Jan 12, 2019

wow, so cool !

SNIper of DARKness · Jan 12, 2019

The Crossbowman doesn't fire straight, looks more like he is trying to pick a fight with the Eagles.

Btw weren't you working on a crossbowman with a kettle helmet or something?

HerrDave · Jan 12, 2019

That's intentional, as units arc their arrows/projectiles in-game

Now that I can transfer animations, that'll be less of a hassle to make.

I've literally gone through three iterations and backed out of all three because I couldn't get it right.

While that's true for most projectiles, you can set the arc of the projectile yourself.

Currently it does look very weird if you shoot at close range.

You can probably give him a stand ready animation as well where he keeps his weapon down implying his loading the bolt.

Mechanical Man · Jan 12, 2019

I always wondered what's the deal about lord of the rings and crossbows.

The crossbowman does already a quick reload in the end of the attack animation.

By the way HerrDave, the feet of the models are gigantic, i know you always go for a wc3 look, but it is just too large this time.

HerrDave · Jan 12, 2019

Fee, fie, fo, fum!

/EndJoke

My models (for the most part) need to pass what I call the "Footman Test" where I set up the model next to a footman. If it looks too HD or too simplistic in an area, I adjust it to be more akin to the detail of Blizzard's footman, this includes scaling of certain things like the helmet, feet, and shield size.

My natural theme tends to revolve around the humans in "The Hobbit" (2003)
Though without quite as large a head.

So basically, big hands/gauntlets, big feet/boots, big helmet, big sword & shield, normal frame body.

Having only played Battle for Middle Earth games, I didn't expect them to look like this. I hope you do more Angmar subfactions, like snow trolls, gundabad orcs, etc.

I love this design style!
Thank you for exist!

Ilusala32 · Jan 13, 2019

Useful and well done models

SonsOfSami · Jan 20, 2019

Hey, what is the update about?

HerrDave · Jan 20, 2019

Just swapping the main picture to attract a few more views, I didn't expect it to bump the thread, sorry about that

Ether · Jan 30, 2019

So much love and epicness in this pack.

SNIper of DARKness · Feb 2, 2019

You know, these crossbowmen could be really useful in a duck hunt map.

Ether · Jun 18, 2019

Will you include the archer versions as bonus?

General Frank · Jul 19, 2019

Many models have some unused materials and textures please fix that and while you're at it please add an in-game screenshot as well.

Lessingham · Jul 26, 2019

Would you be interested in making a version of these excellent models without an eye

? It could make them a lot more universally useful.

HerrDave · Jul 26, 2019

Sure

Technically speaking they aren't even supposed to have an eye, the robed fellows - I just went with the design because the original was a little on the complex side

HellHoundX · Aug 2, 2019

Ether · Aug 16, 2019

Is there a mounted version of some of these guys?

General Frank · Mar 15, 2020

A wonderfully well made pack inspired by LOTR.
Excellent work.

Vasili Yvarov · Jul 7, 2020

Thanks, HerrDave. You make a beautiful work!

I love lotro too. Good game.

Lord Zodiac · Jul 1, 2022

I think when I want a model I will just look at your stuff !

Lord Zodiac · Jul 5, 2023

HerrDav would you do me a favor the Ang swordsman could I get you to change his robes to more like the sorcerer more white? TY

Lord Zodiac · Jul 14, 2023

The faces on the Angmarim I like the only thing they all need white robes shows real good in a map these are my second best the dwarfs have them beat I love those little guys
