I've been working on this model for about a week, and thanks to
Soul Eater for his help, I have successfully created the model for use with WoW.
I ran into many problems with this damn model, came close to giving up on it, and luckily some of you were there to keep me pushing and learning more and more about model editing, UV mapping (with more then just UU3D), and of course, creativity!
I can say hands down that this is the best outcome of any custom model I've ever created, and I'm sure more will come in the near future! With that, I present to you, the
SCREENSHOTS!
And of course, as I always like to do. I've created a video so you may see this model in action!!! ... well, only some lvl 1 action, but still... action none the less.

By default I made this model replace the Draenei warrior starting weapon. So the fastes way for you to get in and check it out is to install and make a draenei.
This patch (MPQ) contains:
1) the M2 model
2) blade.blp
3) handguard.blp
4) handle.blp
5) skull.blp
All 4 of those textures are used in texturing this model.
