Well, FrostTroll, according to the art made by Samwise & co, they have hammers, and in the game the so called "axes" are too thick for axes. Else, everything you said is correct.
I think the model is ok. Just 3 things. The horns in the helmet are too wide, replace the sword and lance for a shield (left hand) and an axe (right hand. Yes, Punisher, an axe. If u watch'em carefully you'll notice it) and give a spell animation (just in case someone needs it. In War2, paladin spell animation was an attack one).
I hope you consider it. Only then the model will be almost perfect and matching to the oldies.
Nice. I think it would have looked better if you used the garithos model, or at least attach a shield to it instead of a sword, so it has a lance and a shield. The skin looks sort of blurry, and not much was edited actually from the model other than the helm.
Usefulness: 6/10 (There are many other knights) Eye Appealing: 8/10 (Helmet makes the knight look quite nice) Effort: 6/10 (Skin was changed, but the model had few changes) Texture/Skin: 6/10 (Quite blurry. Try to make the knight's armor look more metallic) Good Use of Model: 7/10 Overall: 33/50
Could be alot better, but good model nonetheless. -Blue
