Description
A further improvement on the Swan Knight's armour!
Mostly inspired by the GW minatures with a chest engraving based on the Swan Knights from the Age of the Ring mod for the Battle for Middle-earth II.
Nice! Glad to see some new changes.
It is really looking great!
I assume you will now collect first a few assets before you bundle them in a new update, is that correct?
That's what I intend, yes. I want to re-do the units I don't like, and maybe complete Rohan (which I've already done some work on).
Hi, when do you think the next file will be uploaded ?
No idea. Read the description:
"The mod isn't constantly being worked on, so there is no chance of me giving a release date."
very excited for this!!! Are you redoing Prince Imrahil's as well? I'd like to add that I loved the fact he had his own unique armor and helm, that was a great touch.
I definitely will! Next on the list of Gondorian factions is Lossarnach and then probably Pinnath Gelin and Blackroot Vale, but all of Dol Amroth/Belfalas will be reworked eventually. I might even see about adding an infantry line to Belfalas as well.
Any particular ideas as to what you'd like to see Imrahil look like? Suggestions are welcome!
Awesome! An infantry line would be an amazingt idea too!
If I could suggest something, first I’d like to say I really liked the idea he had his own helmet, and the blue things on the side of the helmet were a nice touch but maybe could look a bit more like wings? I saw that someone was working on a mod for bannerlord including dol amroth troops and they look pretty good especially the helmets:

Plus if Imrahil had his own bastard sword that would be cool too !!
And I also saw this from an old battle for middle earth mod in which the armor looks good too :

I also like the capes on these armors, one thing I also liked about your s’il amroth armors were the sort of « swan circle pins » I don’t know if you understand what I’m referring too, but that was a really nice touch, but in any case I’m confident by looking at all your other work on Gondor armors that you will do a great job, and I’d also like to thank you for taking the time to listen to players suggestions it’s really nice of you to do so.
Keep up the good work, I’m looking as much forward to this as I am bannerlord !
POTW
Okay, thanks for the ideas!
There are a couple of consistencies I've noticed between the images that you posted which I'll see about incorporating into the Swan Knights. I'm also considering changing the Swan Knight helms a bit more, adding actual feathers like those of the Fountain Guard's helm in order to distinguish them as "elite" troops. Imrahil will get his own unique set as well, and I think I have a good idea of what his helm will look like (I'm not a huge fan of the blue "wings").
As for a unique sword, I'm thinking I might stick with a regular sword for him unless I can come up with something better. The Belfalas weapons in general will probably get new models, but I'll be sure to keep the swan detail you liked on the pommel. I've already got a new shield and lance made, but having checked out the movie recently, I can say that my lance isn't very accurate and will have to get a remake.
I’m confident that everything will turn out nice!
Keep up the good work 😁
Beautiful work
