Description
A rework of the Men of Carn Dûm. The design was based and inspired on various european cultures.
"The design was based and inspired on various european cultures." Like greek?
Give him a round shield, a little shorter spear, and ABS and we'll have Carn Dum Hoplite!

What about leaving these long spears and having thus a decent and iconic Total War phalanx? :P

If you are creating an own design, you have to think about the military aspect: Tolkien's middle earth treated primarily the style of European Cultures. So finally yes, its oriented in some greek elements, with a tradition european Tabard. In addition the whole design based on known elements from the Lord of the Rings and the style of EA Games Angmar.
They should look like a "dark" mix between medieval crusaders and greek hoplites.
I would love to see them use Shield! :) They will look much cooler! :) But still really great Models as always!
the Iron Crown Trident was really nice
Props to who designed these... they look like a mix between hoplites & medieval crusaders... Really, really impressive!
the new soldiers's design is so cool but i still prefer the old spears becouse it have angmar's logo and fit more to this evil faction .
Wow, thats a long *** spear! :O Awesome! Rohan wont stand a chance
I can't wait to siege Minas Anor!
good morning I think, nice design, but I think that is put aside, several points First the tribes of men of Angmar are in my opinion the north, like barbarians, and all the implications of the case are men accustomed to cold I would be inclined, but as a pathfinder design style, corrupted by evil examples

second type of weapons in general halberds that usually do not focus on the variety and evolution of the same but in medieval times this would be pretty nice design for the race of Numenor or perhaps the same Arnor, silver
You have misunderstood the intent behind these units. They arent nordic barbarians, they are fallen Dunedain, who got corrupted by the witchking and his servants, with their own culture and intentions. The one that you meant to be some "pathfinder" units are the Hillmen from Rhudaur: wild enslaved people who only follow their own instincts.
While it looks awesome, I agree that the Iron Crown Trident was a really nice little touch. If you do the Pike, it would be lovely to see that again, but if they are going to be like Tower Guards, a shield might also be a nice addition.
I agree with you , the old spear(pike) is better
The old spears were physical rubbish, a big mistake.^^
They were? How come? I thought they demonstrated the dominion of the Iron Crown quite nicely. Well, I don't mind that much, I was just curious mate :P.
well , this is Ealendril's opinion and maybe the rest of the team , but i still find the old pikes a lot better .
Totally agree with that, or use halberds
Really nice remake of the Carn Dûm units!
In my humble opinion the old trident pike looks less useful in battle.
Good job
The are looking a little like the sparta warriors
Do Spartacus will be one of the Angmar Heroes ? xD
anyway nice design ET can wait to see the release in a few month
Spartacus was not Spartan :P
