You might be able to find it the SC2 editor if you have the game installed and dig into the story mode assets.

Will this replace the model for her missions in WoL as well? (that would be nice imo)

No, it most likely will not.

Yes indeed! A welcome improvement!

Nova is one of my favorite characters, and her design certainly does her justice! Almost sad that she just had that quick appearance in HotS D: The new model and texture is awesome!

funny, she has done nothing.....the power of fanservice
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why so cynical? I read Nova's backstory, which is why I like her. She does quite a lot, and goes through a lot of character development. It's unfair to call something fanservice just because you're not familiar with the universe and its characters (Nova nearly had her own game called "Starcraft: Ghost". In the end Blizzard decided not to complete it. Google it.)
This model is the farthest thing from fanservice. They updated her model for a new expansion to a popular game. Same as how they've been updating WoW's visuals throughout the years. Fanservice? No. They are making, and updating, a quality product.

All characters have a backstory, haven't read her backstory (my fault )so maybe she had a lot of it, but in the end she is nothing but a assasin of the Dominion (AKA evil ) not showing any reason to care about her in game ,where it matters the most, since her game was cancelled i suposse her history was written instead, also of course i know about ghost any starcraft fan does so don't sit in a throne just because you know something so mundane)
and i was talking about her design overall (my fault too for not being clear enough), of course the assests of a new game must be higher quality, her overall design (fanservice suit included) make her look uninteresting and boring as a character and the weaker link in the starcraft universe, i think i should read her history, but again, boring design
but in the end is my opinion, if people think sexyness is more important than character development, who i am to say if they are right or wrong?

Nova's not that black and white. But yeah, it's coming across as though you want to argue, which I'd rather not engage in. You have different taste, and that's fine. Though I wouldn't mind hearing the reasons why you think her design boring.

too stereotypical for me
blonde - check
white - check
fanservice clothing - check
personality- check (but to be fair Sarah is equally dumb/annoying in Hots "MUH vengeance!!")
i know the game have a lot of stuff who can be considered stereotype, but nova stand too much (for one, i think they could have done more with Mira han instead of being an annyoance, i liked her design)
but in concrete i'm not a fan of too much sexyness in a game who tries to be serious and engaging, it feels cheap and out of place.
thanks for reading my thoughts, you may hate me now

I don't see any reason to hate you. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas. It is interesting to see someone else's point of view. To be honest, I'm not of a fan of the stereotypical "sexy" female characters either (They're too unrealistic for me. And as I am a fairly average looking lady, I struggle to relate to them). I get so tired of seeing boob armor, for example (I'd rather see characters like Breinne of Tarth from Game of Thrones). Have you played Heroes of the Storm, at all? Blizzard is starting to diversify their female characters. I don't think the stereotypes are going anywhere, but it's nice to see games evolve to have more than just the stereoytypes.
Thanks for telling me your thoughts
(And yes, Mira is a cool character. I really hope they put her in Heroes of the Storm eventually. I think she'd be fun to play as.)

i mean "hate " as a "your opinion is different than mine " joke, but is okay
also, the last time i played HOTS, three was the always sexualized warcraft characters (plus nova plus kerrigan fanservice wacraft "skin") so i'm interesed now

I love the upgrades! Color contrast is great on the new one.

Dang. That's quite an improvement between the two. And her gun looks like the concept art for Ghost. Nice touch.

Haha, I think my favorite thing is getting to make a more accurate sniper rifle.
