There is an issue with the in the portrait model. The grunt's teeth is still closed when he talks, making it look very odd. I'm guessing the teeth's geoset animation has become a little forked up when you compressed the portrait.
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. =)

I like that you did something new to the shoulders on this one instead of the regular grunt shoulder. Like mentioned on msn, I am not too fond of the double horns, but overall, this model is really good.

 

[Traxamillion]

ownage, stormreaver grunt next? or frsotwolf, or what?

 

[Linaze]

A bird whispered in my ear (or could it've been Tauer himself?) that he's acually is working on a Shattered Hand Grunt at the moment.

 

[Traxamillion]

ooo leet.

 

[Zaljinzoo]

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!

 

[wowcraft]

looking good tauer. i like the 4 horns on his helmet very nice.

 

[Kwah]

This grunt . . . is a tank.

 

[JimBob]

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.

 

[Tauer]

This grunt . . . is a tank.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Well Tauer if you are working on Shattered Hand then don't forget about the clan ritual of mutilating their own hands

Of course.

 

[wowcraft]

tauer i just threw him in my map and he looks amazing man. you got me biting my nails now guessing what can be next. its like the 12 days of Christmas lol btw 5* on my end

 

[Tauer]

Thanks dude, I just uploaded a new one if you wanna check it out

 

[Leeroy]

Fuckingly nice. Astonishing simple addings at your models, which makes them damn good. Keep up the good work please.

 

[MGHetedik]

This Grunt is my favourite.Great armour and hammer.
Good work ! 5/5

 

[Tauer]

UPDATE: Fixed the portrait teeth bug.

 

[signoftheend]

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...

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Looks really nice!

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.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Dude! Nice Model!

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.

 

[BizzyBoo69]

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!

 

[tanthanh121]

Looks great!

 

[~Void~]

Frostwolf raider, kthxbye

 

[BizzyBoo69]

Got to hand it to ya Taur, 5/5 SHAZAAM!!!

Keep up the good work.

 

[Kael Theron]

looks nice, but i have to check if the hammer isn't too big. Keep up goodjob

 

[LordPerenolde II]

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...

[punwisp]

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.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Coal!!

 

[pavle]

Great model.Like the armor 5\5

 

[cinco35]

A work of art as always, but for some reason i cant use the model.. When i am in WC3 its just the shadow standing.. It allways happens with the awesome skins... Please HELP!

 

[TheForsaken]

This is gonna be useful! thanks 5\5

 

[Tomxj]

Nice model 5/5. This is will be really helpful in my campaign.

 

[Karaz Feral-Fang]

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

 

[loktar]

Made a simple icon, might be useful to some people:

edit: moved here

 

[Nubius]

I'd reallly like to get a version with axe and greaves/pants, but i like it anyway!
