I gotta say that I'm not 100% on that shield texture/wrap. Something about it just doesn't feel right to me. And the attack animation could be tweaked as, at this point, it looks like he's just kind of flailing his spear. XD Other than that though, pretty solid model and I really like the concept!

I love the Spellbreaker, and versions of him are always a favorite of mine. : )

Night Elves seem like a pretty good fit, and I rather like the shield texture & the cool new weapon. If I had a complaint, it would be in the textures; they individually look great, but all combined it's really... eclectic, really busy. Dark gray steel with bronze & purple & green & TC &... yeah.

Those weapons are mad eby Blood Raven. I used them for this unit with his permission. From time to time I put his weapons for use in my models.

And also yeaaah...those textures are kinda tricky. On the modle itself they dont look as good...but in my opinion, they fit ingame and in night elven concept and tech tree quite well.

This is quite an amazing model, the only critique that I have for it would be to make a proper portrait with talking animations. Good job on it.

The team color is sufficient, the combination of textures is quite acceptable, and the filesize is amazing to be a model very detailed. Like it!

It's quite an amazing model, simple yet effective. However like others have mentioned, the attack animation is wonky at best, I'm all for a powerful swing, but it looks more dangerous to himself then his enemy, heh, not to mention some clipping it's doing with his shield.

I really want to give this a 5/5, but due to how poor the attack animation is, I'm going to have to lower this by two stars. Seems harsh, I know, but for me, the attack animation is one of the more important animations.
