Misha: Hmm.. could this be the fastest approve yet?

Well done, Dire. It really feels fierce and superbly trained in normal mode, and like a brutal powerhouse in fel mode :]

 

[Heinvers]

I'm happy to see this released for the audience

Now the Blademaster really looks agile and samurai-like at the same time (something that Blizz should've made back in the old days),
- you caught that japanese scent very well though quite armored (it can be accepted fairly well as he performs much faster now).

I absolutely love the wrap, the mesh and the animations, mostly the Stand Walk Attack Spin and the Attack Slam ones :>
Finally a good banner that hangs accordingly and realistically from his back has been done, have I mentioned that I like the Katana glow A LOT?

Now that's a great management of body armor, distributed equally where it's mostly needed and in the most stylish way possible given the east asian theme that you sought for.

Well done, I can't see flaws and stuff like that(maybe the Katana could've been slimmer but I guess that can pass), so it's a 5/5 from me.

 

[Splub]

Nice armored Blademaster!

 

[Misha]

Fancy.. :3
took a quick look in the viewer, and, you were right about the red armor, it isn't overwhelming.

 

[Direfury]

Told you

Anyway, about the animations, I wanted to give the Blademaster that feeling of a focused warrior, in the middle of a massive battle. The way he moves, and especially how he uses Bladestorm in his normal form. While in Fel Orc form, I wanted him to be more of a powerhouse, charging through the battlefield, rather than dancing around it.

 

[Vinz]

Gotta love that banner. :> The new viewer crashed while playing the anims, lol. It's that awesome.

The weapon glow is more than noteworthy, it looks great and gives that tons-of-damage feel. The first two attack animations are nice, but the Attack Slam takes the cake. That blast. I'm fond of the walk animation, I personally thought it could be slower with the upper body having less movement. Then again, I remembered that this is an orc Blademaster (literally).

The Attack Walk Stand Spin animations are slower than the melee Blademaster's, but that's what makes them flawless. For the death animation, however, I was expecting a bit more fall-to-the-ground. There could also be a meditating stand anim.

Nonetheless, 5/5.

 

[MiniMage]

Makes me want to make a real beast using that animation set.. whenever I find the time with my current schedule. Hm. Oh well. Weekend it is, I suppose.

 

[Bain_Rebirth]

Oh, so nice to see this got released. Direfury has failed to let me down yet again.
The only thing I think is rather strange is the Fel Orcs arms, the skin does not match the chest color. Other than that small thing this is the coolest blademaster I've ever seen. I especially love those animation differences between the two.

 

[Stefan.K]

You're the best modeler hive has, 5/5

 

[L71292]

Can you remove the glow in his sword?

 

[sniper_zero]

The original Blademaster also had a glow on his sword. I think he should keep it.

 

[jonbon29]

Very cool your uploading your awesome models, Now what would be next?

 

[chobibo]

And so it came to pass that in those days, that the Blademaster hast taken steroids to make bulk his body. The hive saw his bulkiness and thought it was good: This member, chobibo, upon seeing such marvel, hath clicked the fifth thumbs up button.

 

[Tauer]

Badass. I especially like the spinning animations.

 

[Redhead911]

Awesome model! But I have a question, how am I using the fell orc form?

 

[Dreadwing]

More acurrate to Blademaster than the original one...

Just awesome! 5/5

 

[Cherrymage]

Looks nice, by the way. Another nice variant of the Blademaster.
P.S. I think this model is much more better than the default melee Blademaster and Blizzard Grom.

 

[stein123]

This is the best blademaster model ever, it truly looks like an horde commander, 5/5

 

[Painbrand]

I just have to figure out where I want to use him.
Would this blademaster still use Windwalker and Mirror Image? He doesn't look like one to resort to trickery

I'd say so. He IS still a blademaster.

5/5 Amazing model design!

 

[FranzLiszt]

Very nice model, but for units, it's not a hero. No aura no hero, and, worst, if I attach it with a separate model it stays red.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

This could fit well for Jubei'thos' character model. Well done!
