Dwarven statues in Edain 4.1

[ThorinsNemesis]

In Edain 3.8.1 there were Dwarven statues that resembled Gimli a bit (parts of these statues are seen in this picture: http://www11.pic-upload.de/21.03.15/9fpprqdulq44.jpg), but they were removed in 4.0, possibly because the Dwarven faction is not ready yet. Another type of Dwarven statues, that is in Edain 4.0 already, is the one seen in this image: http://www11.pic-upload.de/22.05.15/akg16w5z6jnt.jpg .
- Do you think the first Dwarven statues (resembling Gimli) will be included with the Dwarven faction?
- My suggestion for the second kind of statues is: change their look to resemble these statues from the Hobbit movies: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130318193218/lotr/images/b/b6/Erebor_gate.jpg, because the ones from AUJ lool like Thror, a great king of Dwarves, and the current ones look like a random dwarf.
Do you agree with my suggestions? Or have you got any other suggestions for these statues?

Well I like the Movie ones more!!I do not like te idea of the statues having "Gimli" look,it is enough that the entire Erebor Faction has the "Gimli"look and te others the original EA statues I never liked them,they looked kinda funny and weird in my eyes,so my Vote is for the Movie Dwarven Statues!!

I also like the movie ones more And I agree, Erebor units look too much like Gimli. I really hope the Edain Team implements the statues of Thror in the mod, maybe replacing the non-movie current Dwarven statues, or in some other way .

Maybe they should make the EA Dwarven statue look like the statue of Thror I showed (this: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130318193218/lotr/images/b/b6/Erebor_gate.jpg) and edit the Gimli statue to look like this: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/peter-jacksons-the-hobbit/images/e/e1/Thror_golden_statue.png/revision/latest?cb=20140424204857 (but not golden, of course ). What do you think?

I agree, a monumental statue that represents a realm or a king/lord/leader has to be majestic, perfect and significant; like all the perfect and wonderful monumental statues of Greek Classicism and Neoclassicism

So, Erebor, the most powerful dwarven realm in Middle Earth at that time, deserves majestic statues of armoured Dwarves soldiers with a kingly and authoritative aura (military strength and authority at the same time)

One of the examples that comes to my mind is the representation and statue of Athena in Vienna, that symbolises war, authority, majesty, spirituality and divinity at the same time

True.May be some statues of Thror,Thrain or Durin himself and some like mighty Dwarven Soldiers like those infornt the Gate of Erebor and may be like the Giant Statue of Thror not only the Golden one but the one that leads to the secret pass I mean like graphic and looks!!!

^^That's what I meant actually  Yes, think Edain Team should implement the statues of Thror from AUJ, they look really spectacular, and they would replace the weird current Dwarven statues
