Murin is just perfect. :)
Drar with new crossbow also looks good. :)
Concerning Drar, I can understand why you implement shield, it is nice as    
supporter during shooting process (there is more stability and accuracy), but personally I hope you will just stay with this shield on him. Personally I won't like to see that whole crossbow battalion have same shilelds etc.
In consistency terms those shiled have no other purpose then to be some kind of support while they are shooting, but they are not necessary and present probably only bonus weight while units are moving etc. That is my opinion about these shields on the back. :)

Regards,

Looking lovely! Wish that the slayers use the same mattock as Murin, but beggars can't be choosers right xD. Anyway that pavise shield is a great addition to Drar, it makes him certainly unique and gives the Iron Hills Dwarves an even more "defensive" style. Again thank you very much for using the movie designs with this!

P.S. I just read Crag's reply and I fully agree with him. In addition to that I would like to say that if ranged units were able to use a melee weapon when enemies were closeby, like in the Total War games, than I wouldn't mind giving them a shield + melee weapon. However, as this is not the case, then a shield is nothing more than a burden to them and is only slowing them down.

Let's keep it going with Murin and Drar.


How far are you intended to push your boundaries in this 'Dwarven Renaissance'?  8-)

We'll see. :D

Preferably so far, that we never have to push again.

I agree with Adamin I think that Dwarves are getting closer to the Perfect especially in Visual aspect! :-) And I am so eager to see the future of the Dwarven Race in Edain Hands! :-)

As I said on moddb, both designs are very good and well thougt.
However, I will wait 4.3 before saying Murin looks a little bit too similar to the guardians but I think Neto (on moddb) is not 100% wrong.

Hmm perhaps remove the cape from the slayers, and add it to Murin? That way he will surely look more unique compared to the guardians or slayers. But I don't mind how he looks right now, I am just happy that they use the movie designs xD!

Actually that is a pretty good idea, but I would still let the slayers get the cape. :)

I think Murin Looks differently enough with the Weapon and Shields and as I said may be different Beard than the Slayers and it will be great! :-) The only thing I suggest that can be changed is the Helmet !And Slayers need the Cape it is a signature of Elite Unit without them they are just Guardians! :-)

Hello all today i received the Hobbit Chronicles: THE ART OF WAR by Weta workshop and reading through the dwarves section and seeing the new changes coming I thought I would share a few ideas of mine that doesn't really change much overall they are mostly aesthetic.
EDIT: When i talk about the stats for the crossbow i mean compared to the ered luin crossbows.

I just can't say how epic is the look of this!I always wanted to buy that Book but sadly I will never be able to,so you have my absolute thanks for sharing this Image! :-)

I was actually going to make Thread about IHs Crossbows so that they differ more from Isengard and this is really something quite unique and cool ! :-)

No problem for sharing the images, i would share more but the scanner on my computer doesn't fit a lot of the stuff on it, its a shame you cant get the book as im sure you would of loved it, there is so much detail about everything and a whole section on just the dwarves of the iron hills and Dain.

You lucky dwarflings. Do you know how long I searched for a good glimpse of Dains Armor, how many screencaptures from the movie I looked up and zoomed in?

And you get everything neat and tidy in a book! Not fair.  [ugly]
