So I am trying to make a Custom Game with World of Warcraft models in it and I ended up in an argument with a friend of mine who is a devoted WoW fan. He insists that I use high level PvP gear from WoW when dressing up my models, and I keep trying to explain to him that a lot of that gear is, in my opinion, too bulky and shiny and overdone for it to ever be effective in a real battle situation, that is of course, unless you are a big magical World of Warcraft hero/heroine. His argument is that when I try to remake units from Warcraft 3 with WoW models, I do not do them justice with my designs as he deems them inferior to the bigger, more spectacular PvP armours I could alternatively use.
I figured it was better to ask you guys what you think, then to continue arguing with him. After all, he is a friend.
Which remake of the Warcraft 3 Knight do you guys think is the best?
P.S. For those of you who do not know what a Warcraft 3 Knight looks like, let me direct you to this link.
This is the Knight I designed, and wish to use.
This is the design my friend directed me to, and is what he wishes for me to use.
It depends on what you go want to go for. If these are your dime a dozen 'knight' units that you build by the bundle, no way they should look that flashy - plain armor works. If this is a special hero who is a veteran and has fought for ages, go with flashy. Alternatively, the paladin seems a bit of an 'upgrade' to the normal knight.
If you're going for WC3 units, I'll attach some pics of some versions of em I made in the model viewer a couple years ago if you need inspiration (don't know what the gear-items are called, but you can see what is possible)
As for your knight question, I prefer the first one because it is more true to the actual wc3 Knight.
I am very interested in those shoulder plates you used for your Footman and Knight. Do you think you can remember the name for them? I've been looking for that exact look for, like forever, but the closest I've gotten is the Grimscale Pauldruns that I used for the upper Knight.

@Mozared: Go
I'm pretty much going for a remake of the unit called Knight, not a Hero.

and 4 more including my knight
