Wow.

I'm torn, because while it's obviously excellent work & very cool & fills a few niches (Trolls, dinos, creeps, etc), once you start putting it next to all that standard in-game stuff it really rather sticks out to me (aesthetically). Might be the custom texture, but kinda also the size... Ah dannae.

Still, a complete pack with a very extensive write-up (all those screenshots!). Thank you.

The original texture was a higher resolution, removed that and got a bit closer to the Warcraft style, I'll look into it.
The model is a bit large but nothing scaling can't fix, 0.70 is about the right size.

Looks good based on screenshots.
The animations look convincing.
If feel like it has a bit too much spotted texture and could just have skin.
Team color around the horns and the back spikes would have been enough.

Went through quite a few versions of TC coloring, using the WoW version as a base, the stripes are there to add a little color and variation to the otherwise single colored skin.
Can't do much about the model size unless someone have a tool to shrink the bones. Thank you for the Criticism, going back to the drawing board and see what I can do.

Great model, great animations, not so great textures.

I know you're trying to mimic the Blizzard style (which I hope more people would do), but right now, the textures a bit too... Plain?

Also the TC of the Blue Direhorn is invisible.

Anyway, keep up the great work. :)

Actually tried to get the textures to match with Warcraft 3. Ther are a lot of cool creatures and models
in WoW witch would be awesome to see and use in WC3, especially if you're making a custom faction or campaign.

Blue Direhorn model is updated and should work now.
