Some other threads of M&B graphics interest:
Thorgrim's BRF Edit threadShader and Graphical effects Discussion-------------------------------
For instance, here is a golem I made in Wings 3D. Made from scratch, texture included, shown in BRFEdit.

Maybe it brings up a question for you, such as
What tools in Wings3D did you use, smooth or mirror? How many triangles is it? Why must models in M&B be triangulated? What program did you use for texturing (photoshop elements), and what brushes did you use? What did you use to change .bmp to .dds (yes, .dds is the required format for texture files in M&B)? What steps do you take to add a texture, material, & model into BRFEdit? Is BRFEdit or Wings3D free? Is this golem going to be a character in M&B (no, a scene prop maybe)? Why not (rigging is fixed to the human skeleton)?
The point is there are tons of questions as far as modeling and modeling for M&B goes. Tutorials are good, but are impersonal and can not elaborate with full help.
Any question, small or not, can be asked and then
BAM, answered!
