This is Frostmourne. It's the evil blade from the Warcraft series (wielded by Arthas). A friend of mine asked me to model it, and since I'm a huge Warcraft fan (Warcraft 3's cinematics were the trigger for me to get into 3d and actually made me decide to become a 3d Animator 'when I grow up' ) I just had to do it.

I went all on out the detail by pretty much modeling everything. Yes, I could've used a displacement modifier for the runes, or maybe even a bump map, buuuuuuut, actually modeling it was way more fun than the other options, and I'm convinced it gives a better result as well (even though there's a huge increase in polygons).

Anyway, there's still alot of model-tweaking to do, hence this is only a WIP. I made it in 3ds Max 7, took me quite some time I'll post again if there's anything major I change. And, who knows, I might just give a shot at texturing this.

Critique most welcome.
