Ok guys im going to be starting a project that is going to be themed on iconic places in World of Warcraft the MMORPG these places are going to be all the alliance Faction Cites, Ice Crown Citadel, Black Temple, Dalaran, (and maybe Shattrath City) help would be appreciated 
if you want to see pics of these places i will put links below. First Project is going to To be ICC (Or Ice Crown Citadel) now i got fallen to help me with the design (atleast the blocks i would need and broad statement of where they should be) i will put that below as well!

Stormwind: http://www.wowhead.com/zone=1519
The Exodar: http://www.wowhead.com/zone=3557
Ironforge: http://www.wowhead.com/zone=1537
Dalaran: http://www.wowhead.com/zone=4395
Shattrath City: http://www.wowhead.com/zone=3703
Black Temple: http://www.wowhead.com/zone=3959
Icc(Ice Crown Citadel): http://www.wowhead.com/zone=4812
as far as block choosing i would go with mainly smooth stone and obsidian since it looks smooth and has that really dark look. For the main door (i think) it looks like it has a gold trim so i would do gold blocks for that, make it look really fancy.
It looks like there is kind of a ring around the spikes so maybe a few iron blocks, im not sure how you could really make a nice point without the whole thing just being massive, maybe iron bars at the top might make it look smaller. The floor looks like it has sort of a small tile design so either stone brick or stone slabs. I would really try to emphasize the depth of the structure like the groove type things that come out, make them go out at least 3 or 4 blocks, the archway thing above the door possibly make the bottom stick out a little more than the top, like it's sinking into the structure, maybe sticking out 2 or 3 blocks at the beginning and go down to 1 at the top. To make the whole thing darker you could almost create a fake sky out of blue/white wool at level 256 so shade would cover up most of the land and darken all the stone.
