Uthil over at model-changing.net has been working on porting the new WoD models to the Vanilla 1.12.1 client. The download is pretty large and works by adding a patch-4.mpq to the installation. I scanned it for viruses and didn’t see any issues.
Still some bugs with the character models that I’ve noticed but really awesome work so far!
