Guard of the King, Doriath troop tree, by Efe Karacar.

"Silent watcher" armor by Dusty Breeches - based on this concept

A full set of armor (all body parts) should be 5-15K triangles and weapons 1-4K, based on what in the game right now. Armor is animated, so it should be modeled using quads. Weapons (except maybe bows, which bend) can probably be modeled using tris if you want, since they don't deform (although watch out for shading artifacts if not using quads)

Armor is composed of hands, feet, torso, head, and cape/scarf/shoulder. Each should be their own object when exported. Weapons are composed of handle, pommel, blade, and guard, each their own objects, to conform the weapon crafting system.

Based on models exported from the game, you need a male and female version for torso armor and perhaps a version of each with the forearms removed/shrunk to allow for hand armor that covers the forearm. If you are using a high poly to low poly workflow, I would suggest just focusing on the high-poly models until you have the mod tools. Thats about all I can think of

You wouldn't want that sharp looking blade anywhere near your neck, hehehe.

Prince of Menegroth, concept art for one of the troops in Doriath tree, by Efe Karacar.

@Lucon

@Lucon It's concept art, dude. There's really no need for modding tools. I have to say, though, Efe's (he'll always be Belendor for me, tbh) is REALLY improving. I really like the style.

And they don't really need modding tools for making 3D-models, the base body is already around and the main work is done at Blender, Wings3D or whichever software they use.

@Antonis

@Eärendil @Antonis I thought something else, thank you for what you said. I thought it was made with mod tools, I am skilled at coding but I am incompetent in design

Belegost axe by KeyFORCE.

Are you sure this is not a key and a shovel mix? Because it doesn't really look like an axe.

It's the key to the heart of every Orc and I am sure you can shovel with it too in case you have nothing better at hand ^^

I think the catapult one is a bit too big in comparision

@Eärendil the Mariner

@Eärendil the Mariner Is catapult, but no models and skins. I guess it hasn't been done yet.
