Guards of Orthanc

[lord_ellessar]

mmh i'll see what can be done...

i've seen what could be done

[Walküre]

I like it! It's truly a mixture between a spear and a staff (I prefer the one at the top), mirroring the shape of Orthanc, without the cartoonish connotation of the drawing. Great conceptual solution

What is still to be worked on is probably the Númenor-related armour that the guards will be given, after the activation of the Wizard's Tower spell (together with the staff/spear). Don't worry about quality; the important thing is to get the basic idea right and clear. The Edain Team, which has recently hired a new modeller, could perfect graphics, if it's necessary.

who is the new modeller ? i don't think that numenorean armor would fit it's dunlendings in orthanc but well,...

[Walküre]

Oh, right. Modelling is still something I need get acquainted with

The guards, at the beginning, are not supposed to resemble Dunlendings at all, although their robes are quite poor and consumed. The Númenórean armour comes later, when the spell is activated (alongside the Orthanc-like spear).

but they are dunlendings first, so the wolf is a little touch from their basic culture

[Walküre]

They are not, really. Look at the descriptions I inserted in the very first post; everything is explained there. Although they initially have a quite corrupted appearance, they are Númenóreans nonetheless. Dunlendings are a totally different topic. Other people and another concept.

I am for this interesting suggestion.

Thank you for your support. I will add your name to the list

Hey Diewalkure, please put me down on the list in favor of this concept. Add me, I like this idea.

And thou shalt have thy name included

[Canis carcharothias]

I'll say yea to this proposal.
Isengard needs real men.
But, for the same reasons you stated, Walkie, I would say nay to the dunlending look.

I agree with thee, aye-sayer. I shall include your name in the list of whom supports the concept
