Hagnarus

Hagnarus is an update of Kalson.

Sure, there are lots of death knights... But at the same time, there are situations where a person might want many unique death knights, so I can see the possible usefulness in this. Maybe if somebody wanted to create yet another "7 blademasters" spinoff, and wanted to make each hero actually unique.

Also, since only small parts of the textures were significantly changed, you should have imported custom textures of only those parts, to re-wrap to those changed areas. Would have saved a LOT of file size.

It's approvable, though, in my opinion, because it does have a decent amount of changes and could be useful to some people.

I'm giving it a 2/5. If you can get the file size lowered from 571 KB to around 350 KB, I'll raise the rating to a 3/5.

Edit: You've lowered the file size drastically from 571 KB to 367 KB, I'm raising my rating to a 3/5.

Much better with a file size of 367 KB. I feel like it could probably be lowered more, but this is suitable enough for a 3/5.

You could probably blend a rough, more contrasted texture with the material layer used on the shoulders in order to give him the neat look that his previous shoulder plates had.

You might also want to change his face, so he looks less like other death knights. Maybe use admiral proudmore's face.

You shouldn't have given him the undead arthas face... There are already so many death knight/lich king models that look just like that. You should have given him an undead-ified version of somebody else's face, like uther or the admiral, blending material layers or using tinted geoset animations to make the faces look less healthy.

Or a skeletal version? Skeletal Arthas would be a slight new twist to this generic model. ;O

LoL Undead Knight on foot is pretty much the same as Death Knight on foot with some changes.

My point was that this model isn't that different from those either.
It's still arthas, with a sword, swinging in the same manner, with the same getup,
the same clothes, generally the same sword although that matters very little.
