I'm about to make a lotr campaign, but some of the models i need for the campaign doesn't exist. If some of these models does exist, or if you are intrested of making one or many of those just tell me.


Wildmen of Dunland

http://de.games-workshop.com/storefront/newimage.asp?Size=A&Img=215333
Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunland
Unit Description:Men of dunland that fight for saruman.
Modeling Suggesstion: Maybe based on the bandit or footman model. With a sword in the hand wich it attacks with, and a torch or spear in the other.
Own Note: There are no units that look like those ingame, i haven't seen any at this site and i really need them for my Helms Deep Server...

Corsairs of Umbar

http://www.cncsaga.com/img/uns/bfme2/m_corsairs_of_umbar.jpg
Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsairs_of_Umbar
Unit Description: Men from The South that helped Saurons Orcs in the battle of Minas Tirith.
Modeling Suggestion: Maybe based on the bandit or Footman model. Holds a saber in the arms that it strickes with.
Own Note: Those look a bit like The Wildmen, so if someone makes a wildmen model that works as both, there will be no need to make thses, and vice versa.

Uruk Hai Berserker

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/large/9441R.jpg
Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruk-hai
Unit Description: Unarmored Uruk Hai warriors equiped with a long warpick.
Modeling Suggestion:Maybe Based on the blademaster or paladin model. Equipped with the blade storm animation.
Own Note: Yes I know, there are already an Uruk Model at this Site, but they won't work as a berserker model, cause they have armour...

Battering Ram

http://bfme2.heavengames.com/cpix/gameinfo/mordorram.jpg
Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battering_ram
Unit Description: A couple of orcs holding a big log.
Modeling suggestion: I have no idea wich model that this would be based at, maybe some mechanical unit like meat wagon or catapult or something like that.
Own Notes: Not much more to say, but i need it pretty bad.

Yeah, i think that's all for now, i'll maybe add more later...

That's quite a hefty request there. Not a big chance that anyone would just come up to you and say "Hey! I'll make you four entire models, no problem!". First I'd advise you to come with a good plan. What is your campaign going to look like, what's the setup, what makes it special, different from other campaigns. Also, might be interesting to know what you want the models to be like, a certain style? A certain level of quality? Perhaps special animations? Be more precise and a lot more elaborate. That would increase your chances by quite a bit already. Good luck!

Those pictures were awful...two of them didn't show the entire body...the other two weren't large enough for me to see the details on their bodies...

You should eliminate some of the models you requested such as:

Replace the orcs carrying the battering ram with the current battering ram in the models section.

Replace the berserker with Fel Grom Hellscream.

I've changed the pictures for the humans, and added another Berz pic. Hope you'll like those ones better.
'Bout the battering ram, it's pretty hard to find a larger one.

I can't find any battering ram in the models section, if you don't mean the naga ram, wich i think wouldn't fit in an helms deep server.

Ye, i suppose i could use the fel hellscream but, to be honest, i don't think it wouldn't fit as a Uruk Berz. First of all it doesn't have the facial mask, and then it have an axe, not a pick. Now you maybe think i ask to much, but i think that it would be a mistake not asking here, if there are a Uruk Berserker model at this site, or if someone is intrested in making one, just to be sure.

Yeah, i know you think i ask much at the same time, but i don't expect anyone to make all of the models i have requested at the same time. I just thought that it would be a greater chance that someone would make ONE of the models if i requested many.
Also, this isn't even close to all the models i would like to request, but i thought i'd start with those and then add other later.
About the campaign, i do not really know. I just wan't to do a campaign that is based on both film and book, not just the film that i can show to people and be proud of.
I shall also add more text that describes how i wan't the model, thanks fot the tip.

The book AND the film?

Would you kindly explain just what you intend to do?

Will the elves be there? They were in the movie but not in the books.

Will this also focus on the chapters/scenes before the Council of Elrond, if so will Tom Bombadil be there?

Will Legolas actually stay true to his character this time? Or will he be the movie version which mappers have taken him WAY out of context and made him ungodly strong?

What of Anduril, will Aragorn get it before going to gain the allegiance of the Oathbreakers or in Rivindell?

I could go on and on but I believe you get my point.

Ok, I'll explain those question for you.

I intend to take the best from the film and mix it with the best from the book, if you see what i mean.

Yes, the elves will be there.

I think the first level will be the journey from The Shire to Rivendell, and if thats the case, of course Tom Bombadil will be there.

I do not know mean what you mean "Ungodly Strong", but if you mean, for example, the scene at pellenor Fields when he kill an mumakil all by himself so, no, he's gonna be pretty balanced and don't better then any other hero.

Aragorn will get the sword in Rivendell.

Yes, i think i understand.
As i said before, i will mix the best from the film and the best from the book.
If you have any ideas or tips, i'll listen.
 
You mean the sword that cut of the Sauron guy's fingers right? at least in the movie he doesn't get that in rivendel, the lord eldrond (i think i got his name right) brings it to him in the third movie before they do the defense of gondor.

I tried to read the books, but they were massivley boring, so I only know of what happens in the movie.

The books were great wth are you talking about ?

Edit:

This request is reasonable,

Advice: provide shitloads of screen-shots, helps.
Provide wikipedia links to the stuff you want (EX: add a wikipedia link to uruk-hai for the 'zerker, same thing for the other ones)
Crop out requests that wont be awnsered: in your case, lose the ram.

Ill say this before some other jackass does: please provide a WIP of the map this is for, people are always gona ask that, trust me i learned the hard way.

Good luck with the request.

Now i've added more screenshots and a wikipedia link to each unit,
but i just can't understand why everyone says that i shall lose the ram!

Sorry, i'm pretty n00b, can you tell me what a WIP are?

Thx.

Actually by Ungodly strong I meant how he is always portrayed in the Warcraft games, usually he has a ridiculous range and a ridiculous damage amount, topped with health as much as Gimli.

It's been in every warcraft/LOTR game, Helm's Deep, Fellowship Quest, Balin's Tomb, etc.

Oh, it was that one i meant when i said naga ram...
It's a very nice model, but dosen't fit as a battering ram for lotr.
Ít looks more like a ram at, a pirate, dwarf or naga server.

Why not just use the bandit models for now.....or perhaps use Oinkerwinkle's tools to edit them into corsairs and wild men.

If the map is good modelers and geomodelers like myself will usually consider making models for them.

Well, I haven't done a model before, and i have no idea how to do...
I guess i could read some tutorials and try.
Could you send me the editor, I can't find it.
