Hey there
I think this is a pretty good idea but there are 2 things that prevent me from being able to use it:
1) the thing on his head looks a little bit "out of proportion"
2) there's no teamcolor! I thought the pauldron would be teamcoloured
Also, the pauldrons clip in the death animation but this is a rather minor issue.
In any case, I think it's an interesting model, I would love to see more in that theme.
