I like this very much! :D Its actually quite awesome :D Firstly i just looked at him and though, that cant be good. But when i imported and saw him i was suprised. He has some good details on his armor, and i love the way he holds his shield when using defend anim :D

Its good you added victory anim too. And i love the hood :D
4/5 is my rating.

I think the UV could use a little touch up on the helmet, his visor slit is not strait. I understand that youve used ingame textures for this, and while i do really admire and appreciate that.... the shield and shoulderpads dont really go with the rest of his armor. I really like the concept, there is only 1 other model on the hive that has a flail as a weapon and I personally love flails as a weapon :). but, the texture on the flail, again, like the shield and shoulderpads, are more bronze and dont really go with the rest of the gray metal armor.Creating custom Animations is incredibly hard and time consuming to say the least, but the bandit animations somewhat deform the mesh in some areas (like the hips in his walk anim).... im sorry i know i seem critical, BUT i really like the basis of it, it just could use some fine tuning. but for a first model, it is truly amazing, i want to see more great stuff from you in the future ok. :)

Nice, but something's... odd...

"I'm a metal warrior that has a helmet that connects oddly with my neck! I'm really stiff! My hands are sharp! I have [Shoulderpads] and [Shields of the Sun]! My necklace is a drape! My hand goes into my shield! My weapon's shiny! My hood comes from nowhere!

I WEAR A HOOD OVER MY HOOD!"

Nah, that's all from just looking at the picture, and that's unfair to judge it from that. Very featured. 4/5

I agreed with LTGH, need more work with shoulder pads & shield. The colure looks kinda "out-of-the-place". But overall a good model^^

As stated before, the shoulder pads and shield is out of sync with the rest of the model. The weapon's color also may look a little bright. As for the hood-over-helmet thing... It looks a bit weird at first, but I don't think that's too big of a deal. I only think the 'pads/shield make him look a bit off.

Could probably use this one, if fixed. It really is a nice model.

Very nice. The armor reminds me of T2 paladin armor from WoW slightly. Now that armor was sexy. The Flail was a nice touch, and the model as a whole is nicely done, but a spell animation would be good, and hero glow and team color for versatility. I'd really like to see a revision of this model in the future, as it has spectacular potential.

Edit: Okay, this may be a product of alcohol and sleep-deprivation induced hallucination, but does this model leave a blood-trail wherever it goes? If so, it will have to be raised to a new and as-yet-unknown level of awesome super-coolness.

"Avenger of Faith". Is he one of those crazy people who goes around burning pokemon/yugioh/MTG cards and beating up people in pokemon/yugioh/D&D/etc. costumes?
