Pack - Men of Rhûn

[stein123]

nice one!!

 

[Kyrbi0]

This model, I feel, is an ideal example of how well you have meshed the Warcraft style with the aesthetics of the LotR. Just solid, man. Love this guy; not enough halberd-pike dudes around, and his full-plate armor & helmet is sick.

 

[Gumberbunbder]

Herr Dave isn't dead! OMG! Oh man these models are great! The map I'm making was supposed to only be about Dwarves, but now that you put all these models out I'm definitely going to have to make a change of plans and add an evil race. Is the Troll Bonecleaver coming?

 

[HerrDave]

Bonecleaver is still coming, I'm just having trouble deciding what to do around the leg region.

In the actual War of the Ring game, they were disconnected stumps that came out of the bottom of the torso and were partially obscured by his belt/cloth, but I can't use that method for quality-reasons.

If I use the methods of old, the model won't be accepted.

 

[Kyrbi0]

If I use the methods of old, the model won't be accepted.

Ah dannae about that; pretty much every 'skirted' model on here & in-game has disconnected stump feet, for example. As long as it works & looks good in-game, that's the core of what should matter.

 

[deepstrasz]

Spell channel is weird.
4.25/5.

 

[Eagle XI]

C'mon, we all know you can do an better shield than that.

 

[HerrDave]

C'mon, we all know you can do an better shield than that.

Absolutely, but you'll have to wait for my arms to start working again

Lifting weights sucks, I have determined @n@

 

[JokeMaster]

That hallaberd attack looks atleast weird. I would strongly recommend to change the weapon or the animations as they seem not to match. Beside that little flaw its quite good.

 

[HerrDave]

As stabbing motions are difficult to make without moving the legs (something I am still learning) I opted to have it be a chop/hack attack.

For the most part, I did this by changing the way he held the weapon and making it take longer to lift up after striking, implying weight and heft.

 

[Gottfried]

That pike-thing has no lower end.

 

[konvan5]

Cool model
I like it!

 

[MouMou]

Nice it would be good to have a btn for this model

 

[Archian]

The model looks nice, but I have a problem with the attack animation. The current attack animation is off because he holds the weapon like a spear but attacks with it like a sword.

Have you seen the attack animations of Wandering Soul's Spearman? I suggest using similar animations.

 

[Darkfang]

Herr the model is awesome, but my recomendations are; change the attack animations for:

*Attack 1 from Bloodfiend, Felguard
*Attack 1 from Kael - Blood Mage

Add the Spell animation from:

*Spell Breaker (fits perfectly)

 

[Wasabee]

Wow great the model is nice.

 

[Fingolfin]

This is a model which the community has been waiting for a long time... Well done!! Wonderfully executed with ingame textures. I am sure LOTR mapmakers will rejoice.

 

[GolluM_KoMe]

I would have liked to have this one back when I did LOTR maps ! But shouldn't the handle of the halberd be extended below the hand ? It seems no one could handle this by holding it at its tip.

Yes, the only thing which I dislike is how he holds the Halberd. He should be holding by the "grip" and not the "end".
Either way it is easily fixable if it is to bug someone that much.

 

[HerrDave]

In my defense, it's not exactly a halberd he's wielding - it's a 1h bill-hook unique to the men of Rhun and it was used in an admittedly similar fashion to pull horsemen from their mounts and to hook enemy weapons in combat.

Do they have different physics in that realm of yours? As really now those soldiers are really handicaped holding those weapons right near the end, the reason why you hold a sword by the grip is because that's where most of the mass is, not really the same with a shaft.
Oh and you say one handed? Those "bill hooks" are almost as tall as them, as you sure they aren't just compensating for something?

 

[HerrDave]

You've begun to provoke me now.

This model was specifically designed to be the warcraft 3 equivalent of the soldier of Rhun from Battle for Middle Earth, in which their weapon is held 1-handed.

Because it was brought into Warcraft 3 - aspects of the model were exaggerated, like the weapon, gauntlets, boots, and shield.

I will not change the way he uses his weapon for /this/ model.

If you'd like a model for your map in which a unit wields a halberd or bill-hook historically accurately, you'll have to submit a request and give me a bit of time because 2h weapons are considerably harder to animate than 1h, and that doesn't even include getting it bio-mechanically correct.

You've touched a nerve with that comment about "My world"s physics.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

You've touched a nerve with that comment about "My world"s physics.

My intention was not to provoke or outset an argument nor was I wishing for you to change anything on this model, I simply found it comical how he wields it.
Much like always I tried to make a comical reply while pointing something out, I seem to have failed miserably.

My sincere apologies, for I did not wish to offend you in any way.

Ah, my apologies about the outburst.

Sorry about that, it must be the language barrier. :\

All is well

 

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

Stand 2 animation reminds me Black Gate Scene

 

[Svetli]

Can I make an icon for this model, if it doesn't have any?

 

[HerrDave]

I welcome any icons for my models, I'm dreadful at making them @-@

Go ahead, Svetli

Ok, thanks!

 

[bobadoo2]

One of the coolest human models I've seen, and I've downloaded most of them.

 

[kangyun]

Bro make kul tiran soldier with this animation...

 

[Habipo]

wheres the bottom of the polearm shaft lmfao. or is it suppose to be like that if so it doesnt really sit in the hand right how he's holding it. im all for half-length spears/pikes/polearms fr

 

[Diegoit]

I saw similar models here on Hive, how can i find them?

 

[Misha]

I say, groovy :3

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Can we expect a similar pack for the Haradrim?

 

[HerrDave]

Yes, Harad and Angmar are getting a pack - I don't know about the men of the West though.

 

[Diegoit]

Bro, where is the spearman?

Im really that a spearman exist cuz i downloaded it, two years ago i think xd.

 

[HerrDave]

I never uploaded a spearman, at least not from Rhun o.o

 

[Valandil]

Are you considering making a Wain Rider ?

 

[HerrDave]

If I do, it won't be nearly as fancy as that ^

The main problem I've had with making chariots is i have no base model to work from, i can animate a single horse and rider, but multiple horses?

Ech--

Can you please make it spear thrower with one horse ? I want use your pack in my map for Rhun, but I need Wain Rider to complete the faction ... It would be so nice !

 

[HerrDave]

I was thinking of making it ranged, if I can find a base model.

A melee chariot unit would not work, and Rhun already has 2 (well, 3 if you include the assassin)

I was thinking horse-bow or javelin, maybe I'll call a vote..

 

[Shar Dundred]

Excellent.

 

[Kyrbi0]

You could use the Undead Battle Chariot model that... Err, dang I can't recall. @Mister_Haudrauf , was it you? Made.

I'm fairly certain he'd give you permission to use his animations.

I am generally okay with it, if credits are given to me and i am notified of it.

 

[Valandil]

Battle Chariot
Here is the direct link, Can you make it HerrDave ?)

 

[Barade]

Great pack and useful for my map.

 

[Legeon]

Nice model .

 

[StormKnight]

Came back to score these once i saw these derivatives.

What a wonderful set of models and what a wonderful circulation of resource replication.
