This is the third Haradrim model from Lord of the Rings, which i made for the Hive. This was the first Haradrim model i tried to make, i still got the pics of the first attempt(s) in my Albums. Anyways, i decided to make him different then the first versions. This Haradrim is also wearing a facemask, in order to keep a little variation among them, which also makes it easier to distinguish them. As in the previous Haradrim models, the turban is directly exported from WoW, but it uses an ingame skin. I suppose he can be used as any other human rider either. Feel free to use it in any way!
EDIT 1: my thanks to
Frankster's good first moderation of this model. Thanks to his nice suggestions of what to change, this model could receive an update of (so far) unique features, which aren't present at the other Haradrim models. He suggested to add a few Haradrim-esque things like towels and such, which brought me to the idea of adding this banner-like thing to the rider's back and some light armor to the horse! Thank you Frank, your suggestions helped me a lot! The icon also got updated, so it's much easier now to tell the rider apart from the infantry models. The filesize went a bit upward, but i think it's worth it.
EDIT 2: Sorry, forgot to put the skin for the wood-part of the lance to twosided, so the bottom of the spear wasn't visible. Anyways, it wasn't realy noticeable ingames, but i thought it would be better to fix it, nevertheless.
EDIT 3: Changed the pants into black cloth ones. I watched once again the movie (it was running yesterday on TV), so i noticed that most of the Haradrim had dark pants (either purple, black or red), so i came to the conclusion that it would fit more to make them black cloth pants rather than the so-far brown leather pants.
EDIT 4: just applied the "new optimization method" at all Haradrim models i made. Filesize has been reduced and quality slightly more increased.
