Sneaking in an update before the year finishes, hope everyone has good holidays!
Elessar's Kings Guards, made up of the members of the Grey Company when Aragorn becomes the King of Gondor.

DAMN!! they are perfect. And a great promotion for these ex-members of the Grey Company for sure.
Maybe you should try silverish instead of bronze/gold for the decorations 🤔
The weta designs are all gold, and this is meant to be a rather fancy outfit. If Fountain Guard armour is gilded then I think the king can use some gold :p
As it please you 😉 i said that because if you remove the helmet it would become pretty hard to differentiate them 🤔 maybe fabric above the chainmail then ? 😉
We shall keep the helmet on then :p I think the differences between them are large enough, crown/helmet, pauldrons/cloak, and the presence of a shield. I didn't want to spend too much time on the guard unit as they are more of a flavour touch than a big addition to the game. Hence why they only have 3 unique assets(helm, pauldrons, and shield).
Though I can see they may look too similar to Aragorn. I might give them standard Gondor boots and gloves to make Aragorn stand out a bit more.
But overall it's off course really well made 😉
This is art.
Looks so great!
You've nailed them!
The only thing i look more forward to then Bannerlord itself. Really hope that your mod gets done got look to the team.
Models are fantastic but the best thing is the texturing. Holy god it's good.
Still reminds me to pidgeons though. Lol

can this be put on steam? I'm a dumb pleb that can't even make a mod work.
The mod is not out.
Hey John. lovely work. When do you expect this to be out?
Within the decade.
兵贵神速！You are awesome!
I love them, but why no gauntlets? it seems to me to be a massive weakness in their design.
Gondor doesn't use guantlets(except perhaps swan knights with more advanced plate).
Though I will be giving the guards the standard Gondor bracers to set them apart from Aragorn more.
This just might be the best mod that may ever be created, the potential is so high. For multiplayer will it be pvp or be more similar to war bands full invasion lotr mod against waves of bots?
We will convert standard Native multiplayer. We will also introduce our own game type, but there is no more detail, the focus is not on multiplayer.
Will you be able to have a queen instead of a king?
Elessar is Aragorn, a guy. The Elessar's Guard are the grey company, whom are Aragorn's party. So this unit is specifically for a king. And the questline is this is meant to go very much off of the lore, so Aragorn being swapped out for someone else isn't an option.
