The model is quite nice, but not to sound offensive or ungrateful for all your work, but doesn't the model kinda look out of place among all others? I mean it's very smooth, and kind of cartoonish-looking, while in particular the Defiler's old model looked kind of better, or at least more fitting in the contest.

Same goes for the Great Goblin. The models are really amazing, but the coloring, and the overall look of both these two characters look kinda unfitting, a bit too bright and smooth/round. If they were just a bit darker and less smooth, it'd be perfect..at least that's my opinion.

Keep up the great work! (btw, the warg is awesome!)

They certainly have a different style, they were made by Nazgul of The Special Extended Edition.

And they look a lot better. =p

Yes, I did read that part.

If you say so. That was just an opinion. They might turn out very well in the final game, I wouldn't know. But, isn't that mace kinda too round?

It might be a little bit too big, depending on source. However it looks the correct shape.

I don't know what you see, but in the image you posted I see sharp points and triangular shapes, typical of LOTR villains, while I see none here.

I think that since you follow the books more than the movies (at least for the lore) he should have his arm back, because in the books he dies at Azanulbizar and therefor always had it in his lifetime. Great work anyway!


Wow, sorry for the multiple posts, I hadn't seen that I wasn't connected and I didn't know it is possible to post as a guest...

No, because the Defiler is not Azog. He just uses the design and the hero of the character shown in the movie, but Azog died, as you said, at the battle of Azanulimbar long ago, so Azog won't be part of the mod.

Good, thank you FG15 for working so hard on these. However, I have a question is the people that did S.E.E. helping you guys make the mod now?

You are right, I forgoth that but... This is another argument to remove this thing. Why should an unnamed hero have Azog's one metal hook?

I think what he meant is that the books Azog and the movies Azog are two different characters, story-wise. Since this is the movie version of Azog, there's no reason he should be affected by the books version. Just like if it was the book version, they would not have given him the metal hook for a hand.

Except that, as said by FG15, he is not Azog. They took the design of movies Azog in order to make another unnamed hero (because they follow the books and in the books Azog died at Azanulbizar). Therefore, there is no reason that he should have this hook because it's movies Azog's hook and he wears it because Thorin cut his arm.
And if he was Azog, he shouldn't have this hook because they follow the books and in the books he never got his arm cut. And even if they followed the movies, I still think that he should have his arm back because he had it for a big part of his life (and maybe the biggest) and, but that's more personal, because that hook looks awful.
