Not bad. I would make the hammer and mace a two handed weapon though, we're not doing home improvement here. I'm not sure what the bamboo is though. What kinda of RPG are you going for? Remember that just cuz it's role playing doesn't mean it's fantasy, just look at Earthbound, Star Ocean 2, or Front Mission 3.

Yes they're very good. Although the shield looks strange... I don't think the texture for the shield looks good. It's too black. It should be more metallic looking, like your other weapons. I can't see anything else wrong, though. Good job!

A war hammer has to be two handed. A single handed couldn't be heavy enough to do decent damage, nor could it get a forceful enough swing to put a dent in some serious armor.

What kinda game are you planing? I ask cause if you're going for the standerd console style ones (aka Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Phantasy Star, ect...) then you'll need more than one per type of weapon. If you're going for a more tactical game (Warcraft, Front Mission 3, Final Fantasy Tactics, ect...) you could get away with one one type per weapon class.

They look very good.

I only have a little grip though,find any good reason to put some colors on them such as a little red fancy rope or just a black leather belt-holder(wrd?)possibly using white patterns or more colorful ones which will depend on the character(s)' pallette.

I love this site...

http://www.colormatch.dk/

PS:If you want a better/helpful critique,I suggest you identify the polycount and texture size for each model/parts displayed.
Also a wireframe overlay shot(if the software allows it ) would help to judge the mesh and it's aspects next time.

Also I would suggest to show them for critique at the modeling stage as well to get insights on how to prepare them for UVMapping+texturing but also most important,animations(which doesn't apply in this case.)

Complementarily,since this is intended for realtime using a screenshot from within the engine(or just loaded in DB) is much more relevant than a render that is raytraced,filtered,AA...

In fact,a texture does not appear the same at all than in an engine than on render,this is why it is much more recommendable to preview your texture in a realtime viewport at creation stage than making renders of it(if available of course) to preview what it looks like.

Finally,I posted this as an information for everyone and not just aimed towards you.(take a look around you're not alone doing this)

Keep the good models coming.

If I've seen it all before,why's this bus taking me back again? @_@

Add some sort of grip to the club, like a leather strap or something.

ok first update poly count.

hammer = 204
sword = 195
shield = 76
dagger = 195
mace = 180
axe = 188
club = 92
spear = 164
blowpipe = 172

new

flail = 226 (animated)
morning star = 1136 (animated) this is too much and will be optimised
throwing star = 16

Nice work .

I think you should keep that axe as a throwing weapon, then make a big double edged 2 hand axe, it looks fairly authentic to me, but you'd want a bigger blade on a 2 handed axe. The hammer could be a throwing weapon too, and again you could make a larger sledgehammer for 2 hands.

I think you should make it so there's lots of weapons though, they're fairly good polycounts, so maybe you could throw any weapon then pick it up again, or take the weapons from fallen enemies. That would make for nice exciting battles, perhaps you could have household items too - like table legs and bottles that you can smash over the enemies heads. Also, how about making it so you can only carry a weapon on your back and whatever you can hold in your hands?. I know you only asked for C&C on your models, but I can't remember seeing a post about your game.
