Blackrock Grunt

My second clan Grunt. The Blackrock Grunt. I think it turned out pretty good, but Warsong is better imo.
You can use, edit and distribute as long as you give me credit.
UPDATE: Fixed the portrait teeth bug.

This can be solved by deleting that geoset animation and recreate it (make sure to backup that the geoset animation's alpha data in a text file so you can add that data in the new geoset animation).

EDIT: Changes made, approved. Very nice, and useful for making different orc clans. =)

Well Tauer if you are working on Shattered Hand then don't forget about the clan ritual of mutilating their own hands
EDIT: Okay I just tested it and I have only one suggestion and one problem
My suggestion is that if you can add a litte more detail to the eys like the Warsong Grunt
And the only problem is that the portrait is wierd cuz when he talks his teeth are screwed up, Anyways Great Model!

He looks like he would be one of Doomhammer's body guards because based off of WOW, all the grunts in the throne rooms wore that type of armor.

I don't really get why he has a hammer, though. I mean, most grunts carry axes, and hammers are more reserved for Doomhammer and Thrall, right? I dunno, whatever Tauer wants to do is great, but not sure if i understand it...

Tauer has made several grunts of each clan, and he wants each of them to be particularly significant in their own way of showing it.

If you read the novel Rise Of The Horde it is described that warhammers are the preferred weapon in the Blackrock Clan.
Plus as Just_Spectating said, I want to make them all unique.

Honestly this is a F-ing awesome model. Good job!
One recommendation I would make saying I've seen many Blackrock models they have a slightly darker olive green tint to their skin which I recommend you add. Maybe change the weapon as well if you want. 5/5 with recommended changes.

overall: 4.5/5 nice job! :thumbs_up:

I'd call it a "Twilight's hammer Grunt" instead. You say it's a Blackrock Grunt because of Doomhammer, do you? well...i think blackrock ones should be left as standard ones(as in the original game), while since there is a little bit told of the others, i'd change the other ones into their clan's traditional outfit, like you BRILLANTLY did with stormreavers, shattered hands or burning blade(even if i dunno burning blade ones). What about black tooth grin? ^^ I'd make a black tooth grin grunt with a "black tooth" portrait(like when he clinches his teeth).
I'd also give them interesting abilities that would make them different from each type...

its really about time someone made grunts for the various clans, and you should be given credit for it, I haven't seen anyone touch this catergory, for this I give you grats, and it also helps me out alot.

Pretty good model! However, I think he would look a lot better if he had all of his legs armoured as well, as the Blackrocks had their black plates over the majority of their bodies
