Varok Saurfang

It took me less time to think how to make him, because Varok (in some Pictures) resembles a Warcraft 3 Blademaster.

Faceguard by Blood Raven
Shoulderguards by General Frank's Fel Orc Enforcer
(VERY big thanks to them :thumbs_up:.)

Here some Lore: High Overlord Varok Saurfang[3] is a legendary Horde warrior who is a veteran of the First, Second, and Third Wars. He was also a part of theBlackrock Clan, and was put second-in charge during the wars. He served as Supreme Commander of the combined war effort against Ahn'Qiraj inKalimdor[4] and now leads the Kor'kron against the Scourge in Northrend.

Well I think he has yellowish eyes. I don't actually know if he has yellow eyes.

----------Update 27. May. 2017 (Minor)----------
- Added BTN/DISBTN & scorescreen
- Fixed a minor issue ('cough' ribbon emitter 'cough')


Don't distribute/edit him without my Permission and Give Credits if you use him. :ogre_hurrhurr:

Really well done. No major mistake to be pointed out. Rather small ones, actually: the blade ribbon appears in the Dissipate animation, you could hide it there, maybe parenting it to the blade itself. And a hero glow in portrait's background could be...

Much better than your Eitrigg model, if I'm being honest! If nothing else, it makes for an interesting variation of the typical Blademaster. I do hope you made sure to get permission from Blood Raven and General Frank, though!

Well....... I might have forgotten to ask first, but i just wrote them (thank you for reminding me :thumbs_up:). I just hope they don't mind. I mean this IS a great model.

this is actually a pretty good model, i just wish that you change the armor texture to something that looks similar to the reference. I'm pretty sure there's a texture in the mpq that looks close to that, also braids.

Actully that's why I commented, just saw your model while searching around for useful models :D
your model just appered in time.

That's good to hear. I hope i am mentioned in the special thanks of the Campaign.

It's just to bad, that i don't have skills to make a good icon for Varok and Eitrigg. I asked Sin'dorei300, if he could do this.

or make a simple custom skin from scratch *o* (or like -grendel said, keep searching for ingame textures thatfits better)

I look what i can do, but not today. At the next day i can do this, but only after 5:00pm in germany. (I live there.)

Edit: One Question (this doesn't have to do with the model): Can you make a passive Player use an Ai?

I asked them both. @Blood Raven was okay with it and @General Frank said that he would only allow this if i would credit him here.

I cannot remember being asked about the permission, but I might have forgotten.

As mentioned above. you might have forgotten, because i remember clearly asking for your permission.
You said, that you would only allow this if i state here that the Shoulderguards are yours.
If you hadn't given me permission then this wouldn't be here in the first place.

And i tried to look for my comment on your profile, but for some reason i can't find it. It looks like that it was somehow deleted.

Edit: I can only say that i asked for your permission shortly after i uploaded this model.

Here Sep 2, 2016. It was at that date that i asked both @Blood Raven and @General Frank for permission.

Alright, fair enough. I don't to make it hard for you. I simply cannot remember you asked.

Rather small ones, actually: the blade ribbon appears in the Dissipate animation, you could hide it there, maybe parenting it to the blade itself. And a hero glow in portrait's background could be good. Since those are minor issues, approved already. (Permissions for model part usage were explicitly given.)
