Hey fellow Warcraft 3 enthusiasts, We're thrilled to share that we've been hard at work on a project aimed at bringing a multi-racial dimension to the game. Our endeavor includes not only integrating new factions but also revamping the existing campaign to feature our additions.

I know we lack tauren models for reforge but doesn't this feel too much WOW use for the models?

You have to be more specific about the wow feeling that you have. The stigma that wow models have is that they are not that much detailed, everything is painted in the core model like armor parts and so on. This : Static.wikia.nocookie.net is the original tauren, as you can see the leather gloves are the only part that it's painted in the core model, like in our case.

Well.
I think it's because the main body is a wow tauren male which compared to the reforged taurens is not as detailed(personal oppinion) and does not feel that serious(wow compared to warcraft feels even more cartoony and childish) and does feel out of place when compared to the reforged astetics.
My feeling on all bodies.
Armor is something easier to redo textures and make it work in some manner on a reforged body but a body is way too much I think.
Easier way to compared is a human from wow and a reforged human. If you put an entire armor on him yea will work but is you have his face out is does feel out of place.
For example on the Scarlet crusade paladin that you guys made which uses the judgement armor retextured it does work because armor can be made different but if you like used Uther without helmet compared to reforged uther is really really out of place.
I know it's hard with tauren not having much representation to go on in reforged but maybe for an update make reforged model (other races) look as taurens

Hey there, our opinion is that the wow tauren model is serious enough for reforged Imgur.com . That decision came from comparing side by side the wow and reforge models, and we found that the only difference is with their hair.
Now the biggest problem was with the body armor of the wow model. But we strive all our armor parts to be 3d, like in this model and our Moddb.com .
What you suggest in the last part of your comment is a method that we used at the beginning when we were inexperienced in importing decent external models. You can always see our early work in hive, the first images that we have uploaded concerning our factions.

Yeap I know.
I love the work you did and are still doing. It's the most unique and amazing mod.
For sure it will be the best one out and will inspire many to make more content in Reforged for custom campaigns and so on.
My comments were not intended to feel as me saying is not good just the personal opinion I have when it comes to how I see the models of reforged to any of the other blizzard works.
Because to me reforged went a bit closer to the diablo models types of execution maybe because the people that worked on them were not blizzard.
Reforged has a more serious look like the OG warcraft 3 but for 2020 and even if the models seam similar, to me wow (new hd models) seem too cartoony.
They work well with any of the other blizzard games like HOTS or Overwatch which also stay close to that cartoony look like the new Marvel cartoon series / While diablo and reforged are the more serios ones
You guys continue to do the good works, can't wait to see more.
I'm also in the proces of making my own tauren models (no females yet need to find a good body to modify in blender)
Also a side note (maybe make a male version for workers too :D )seeing only female workers might get someone offended :))
Sorry long speach again.

Pues a mí me gusta mucho el modelo solo he visto un pequeño error por decirlo de alguna manera, la mano con la que sujeta el escudo el dedo pulgar no está cerrado como un puño, el dedo mira hacia fuera, pareciera que tiene el dedo dislocado
