What I might recommend for the weapon, if I were to be so bold, would be to build a similarly styled halberd out of, say, the battle-axe of Lord Garithos? It's brighter, more knightly textures might be touch more fitting than the current halberd's texture which, while very well done, seems to be more likely found in the hands of a Black/Death Knight than a Royal Guard. If you, by chance, planned to make an undead variant, then you might want to save this weapon for that. ^.^

Other than that, it's a pretty nifty model. It might go to the Simple section just because there aren't too many changes to it, but I think it could be useful! I think it would be -more- useful, however, if you either added back in the Hero Glows at his feet and on his weapon or if you added in Decay Animations so it could be used for a unit. But that's just my personal opinion.

I knew that you didn't made the weapon, it was very familiar to me, so I took some searching and wow, you did steal it. Gothic Greataxe
The weapon is made by Sunchips.
You didn't quite impressed that you can make mesh models like that with your prevoius uploaded model(that texture change you uploaded days ago).
And, yeah, @JesusHipster already took down one of 'your' model that you stole from Seoki, so this definitely needs to be rejected aswell.

WoWie.

The Helmet/Helm/Whatever fits him perfectly. It's finally better than the old version because it removed the "Arthas" feel about it. I also love the axe.

GreatJob! 4.88/5



EDIT:
The cape texture sure does fit him. However, it came from the "CW Turalyon" model by CloudWolf, a'ight. You might want to consider giving him credit on that one, a'ight.
 
No, I made that myself! There is a skin on his mesh!

It's pattern is from Arthas model!
If you did a re-skin of a mesh done by someone else, you obviously must credit the original author. Isn't it a rather simple logic? You did not make the mesh, why would you take credit for it?

I've never seen the Templar model!
How would you reskin his mesh not having seen it in first place? :eek:


Ask permission, it isn't such a big deal. And give him credit.

- It could be created with textures in-game.
- The team color isn't enough.
- Too many textures included.

But, considering it's your first model, is acceptable.

This kinda reminds me of King Llane's armor from the Warcraft movie. If you replace the axe with a sword, this would be a good Warcraft 3 version of King Llane. :) Also maybe if you replace the helmet with a crown and give him black hair and a beard.

I suggest showing more of his face, but keep the black background.
Here are some very simple pictures of your model.Please keep in mind that they are merely suggestions and it is up to you if you would take up ideas from us or get creative yourself, Good Luck to you :)
The angles really show the face ( well at least most of it. )
