Looks great! 5/5

 

[Total_Warrior]

HOLY FUCK. Fantastic work as always sir. Anymore LOTR models to come?

 

[ndh]

Good job, sir.

Perhaps

From what i can tell now i have an archer variant of this which is almost done. Feeling quite compelled to make some gondor models though ^^

 

[Seoki]

Great model!

 

[LordJhredmo]

I'm just astounded. I want to see that model used lots. Thank you for making such a gorgeous model, from a big Tolkien fan.

 

[Deolrin]

May we hope for an Orc, an Uruk'hai, and a Troll for the Mordor faction, perhaps? Maybe the corrupted human guys too?

 

[sonofjay]

Great model sir.

 

[Tickles]

Wow. I'm not even a huge LoTR fan, but this model pack is some freakishly amazing work. The teamcolor is awesomely-textured, too. Nice!

 

[vlekje5]

its a honor to use a model like this just when it came out,
this will be seen plenty times in ALL lotr maps for Sure!

good job! 5/5

 

[rcshaggy]

I honestly prefer the elves from Warcraft, but the LOTR elves can be awesome too.
Oh and awesome models as well.

 

[Mickey Frogeater]

Gil-galad looks like a shieldless and helmetless version of this guy with long black hair

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Looks great! Gj!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Does he have defend animations ?

 

[InfernalTater]

All three models are amazing. The archer and spearman are so good as to be worth a 6/5, and the swordsman is worth a 5/5.

 

[Fingolfin]

Gil-galad looks like a shieldless and helmetless version of this guy with long black hair

I did intend to make him and elrond too. Just wait and see.

 

[FromIronGrowsGrass]

Wow...thats amazing, i think these look even better then the in-game models from the battle for middle earth.

 

[Deolrin]

I did intend to make him and elrond too. Just wait and see.

Can we hope for Legolas, too?

 

[Fingolfin]

Can we hope for Legolas, too?

There are already perfectly good skins and model edits for the main characters of LOTR.

This is what i am planning to do so far:

Uruk Hai Swordsman
Uruk Hai Pikeman
Uruk Hai Crossbowman

High Elf Cavalry (you're welcome, Sumallo2)
Elriond or Gil Galad (or both)

and from there we'll see

 

[Deolrin]

Some Gondorians, then? Maybe generic Orcs? The corrupted\dark human dudes?
Hell, a Mumakil with some riders would be absolutely amazing, but probably a lot of work. ^^

 

[TheWhiteWizard]

I am a Lord of the rings fan i have all the games and i have to say these models are my favorits...NICE JOB 5/5

 

[RiotZ]

Sweet christ... I can't... I can't do it. This is just too f***ing good.......

5\5... DC DC DC DC.

 

[Code_Name_XXX]

Great in a Spartan model. I will add this to my lil. brother project. 5/5

 

[Code_Name_XXX]

Hey Can you create a defend animation, PLEASE!!! I like the Spartans!

 

[Radagast]

Very epic...

 

[Code_Name_XXX]

Can you add a "Stand Defend" animation, like the footman, Captains and Spell Breaker. This unit have a "Stand Defend" animation. Please make this one too.

My Rating : 4/5
My Rating(With "Stand Defend" animation) : 5/5

 

[Vortballat]

Omg really great shield.Just Perfect!

I will not. That would mean having to redo the entire animation set again in another pose, and animating is very time consuming. Also, it would mean i'd have to redo the standard stand animation to look less "defended", as in, to have his shield less in front of him to contrast with the defend animation.

I would just rather focus my efforts on getting my other lotr models done. Uruk just needs animating now for instance.

 

[Vortballat]

You can make a mage

Ok I understand but still I like a Spartan defend animation but this MODEL WILL ROCK MY WORLD. Thank you for understanding me .

 

[Deolrin]

Why are you associating this model with Sparta?

 

[PyroKnight]

You u no make other LOTR models??

 

[DoogleMcDan]

I hope you will make nice long pikes for those Uruk pikeman, seeing as 18-22 foot was around average (for a Macedonian sarrisa or a renaissance pike). Back on topic, the elven spearman is a great model, 5/5 we really do need more spear units, they were the most common melee weapon of the ancient world and i really find there was a huge lack of them in Warcraft for it was very uncommon to ever fight a sword wielding opponent who was not of noble birth (besides Rome of course, but they used mass produced short swords and it was their less produced cavalry sword that became the famous knight swords of the middle ages). On another off topic note, have you ever played or seen the mod Third Age total war? If you haven't you might find it interesting to look into.

Edit: now that it think about it, maybe a too large pike would not look well proportioned in Warcraft.

 

[Fingolfin]

TATW is my life
I will use whatever pike length i find to be the best compromise between aesthetics and functionality. My goal with these models was actually to make them fit reasonably well into wc3 while still being of my own style.

 

[DoogleMcDan]

Same goes for me TATW has a brilliant campaign map, cool model concepts etc. I do agree about the pike it should fit your style, and really if it were as long as a real one, I'm sure it would probably look quite strange, anyways, can't wait to see the rest of them when they are finished!

 

[adam678]

why it was removed model high elven rider please do upload the model

 

[adam678]

I wanted to change the rider of rohan

 

[Fingolfin]

I don't know, somehow HappyTauren didn't see fit to approve it. I am as puzzled as you.

EDIT: nvm he fixed it! <3

 

[Dinodin]

Awesome work! I just love your LOTR-models 5/5

 

[JhudielTheOne]

Hey They Can Form Testudo Just Like Romans Do.

Holy Hell That Is A Unit Formation Just Like In Total War Series

 

[thePeacey]

why model is invisible in game ?

 

[Fingolfin]

Make sure that you import both textures:

ElvenWeapons.blp
HighElf.blp

Also make sure to remove "war3mapImported\" from both their paths. Save the map and restart the editor, and the unit will show.

Good Job 5/5! Looks awesome!

 

[Barade]

Great but it could have a defend animation like Footmen.
