Titel: Compromis for dwarves from Iron Hills
Beitrag von: Tienety am 30. Mai 2015, 12:00
Dain had in the book a five hundred elite dwarves veterans from the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. As it is written in the book:

I love your elite unit for Iron Hills from book. But all dwarves from Iron Hills looks like a elite veterans from book? Dwarven in the movie looks more like regular army. I think it would be nice if Iron Hills have a bigger difference between the regular army and the elite.
 
I think that would be a nice compromise like this:
1) Three basic units with design from movie

2) elite unit with design from book

So, everyone will be satisfied. What do you think about this idea?  :D

I absolutely agree with you!!The Iron Hills Slayer from Edain is a perfect interpratation of te Books Elite Veterans that Dain brought and they must stay at any cost,but I doo agree that teh Movie Army looks more like the Regular Army of Iron Hills an it will be nice and suitable for them to take the place of teh Regular Army in the Mod while the Slayers will keep the role as an Elite Veteran Unit with some minor Armor Changes may be!! :) I really hope that the Team will consider this!And add those Ram Cavalry and Ballistas and Chariots :D :D

I also really hope they find a way to implement tge Iron Hills army from the last Hobbit movie  :)
And also, I don't know what they have in mind for King Dain (for the Erebor faction), but I hope he at least gets the Raven Crown, if they make him look more like in the movies, too  xD

But wouldn't the basic units then be heavier armed than the elite units?  :o
I'm not sure if that would really work as well visually.

On the general topic:
At the moment there are no further plans to import the look of the basic iron hill dwarves into Edain (either because most of the team isn't convinced by the design, and because there is no modeler available to do it). We might experiment with it in the far future, but right now we have other priorities.


@our Moderators:
Feel free to quote/link to this answer, if the suggestion comes up again in another topic. ;)

I think that would be enough to add movie shields, swords/spears, helmets and maybe some more parts of armor for old Iron Hills basic units.

I know that Ered Luin is the major priority in dwarves faction and they gets more a new models for heroes. But Iron Hills does not have much movie atmosphere. Dain as only one unique thing from movie not save this faction. Everything else from movie in Iron Hills(Bilbo, Veterans of Khazad-Dûm, Lake-Town) you can get in Ered Luin. 8-|

Maybe Nazgul from SEE mod can help with dwarves models. Similarly as with model for Yazneg:  8-)

^^Just like Tienety said, the Iron Hills subfaction does not have any movie models and movie feeling, both in Edain 3.8.1 and 4.0 (except for the awesome Dain model, of course  xD); that is the reason I preferred Ered Luin and Erebor over the Iron Hills in 3.8.1, and maybe in 4.0. I like very much the Iron Hills army of pikemen from BOTFA, but if it is not necessary/too much work, just add movie-shields or spears, or helms, like suggested, to give them more movie-like feeling  ;)
