Third Age: Reforged is a mod for Medieval II Total War, that aims to overhaul the multiplayer aspect of the Third Age Legacy, by thoroughly rebalancing the units and factions while also implementing tons of new content, maps, units, etc. (NOTE: campaign is still in development)
Huge thank you to Leo/Calypso for the model!
Damn they are awesome :)
Are the from Leo's mod?
Yep I credit him in the description. I just changed the textures to be more fitting for Angmar and added the warpaint.
My dude this model is from Age of the Ring, not made by any Leo.
We have since replaced this model, but please be careful about what you take from whom.
I have no idea if Leo used any of of your work, however it does bear some similarities to a picture you posted from 2015. That being said, this model was pulled from Leo's Alternative Patch, which is a mod for TATW, and has a number of notable differences from your own. As far as I'm aware Leo created this model, at the very least, for use in Third Age: Total War so I'm citing my source for the origin of the model used for this picture, which was his mod and not yours.
The troll body used as a base is clearly from Third Age Total War, and I can tell the armor is a resized, retexture, and re-kitbashed TATW uruk's armor.
Age of the Ring's models look drastically different from this, they would look very odd in Medieval 2. Therefore I seriously doubt Leo "stole" this.
In any case it's two mod teams working on free projects at the end of the day, and Reforged does not take donations unlike Age of the Ring. So maybe cut these guys a break for perceived content "theft".
