Patch 4.2 Mounts Preview
We now have a decent amount of information on Patch 4.2 and I can start building nice recap/previews, let's start with mounts!

PvP Mounts - Twilight Drake PvP Mounts
Gladiators get a brand new mount next season! As far as datamining goes the color of the new Vicious Gladiator's Twilight Drake seems to be that one.

PvP Mounts - Epic Wolf and Horse PvP Mounts
Two new awesome PvP mounts have been added, the Horde War Wolf and the Alliance War Steed are rewards of the Veteran of the Horde II and Veteran of the Alliance II achievements. There's also a couple of recolors but as far as I know only the first 2 pictures below are used.





PvE Mounts - Fire Hawks
3 different Fire Hawks are currently in the game files but only 2 seem to be implemented/have a known drop location.







PvE Mount - Fire "Raven God" / Flametalon of Alysrazor
The Fire "Raven God" model is the Flametalon mount from Flametalon of Alysrazor. The mount isn't listed as a loot from Alysrazor in the Encounter Journal for the moment but it's very likely that it will drop from this boss, let's just wait and see if there's an official confirmation in an upcoming PTR build.



PvE Mount - Flameward Hippogryph
The Flameward Hippogryph is a reward of the The Molten Front Offensive, you can get this achievement by completing all the questlines of the new Firelands daily quests area.

    Yay, rewarding Gladiators with new and exciting non rehashed mounts! Oh wait....

    On the plus side, at least they aren't the ugly Wind Drakes :P

    More reskinned mounts. More horses and drakes. How many horses and drakes have we had already? Come on give us something new already.

    ground pvp mounts? who rides around now when they can fly. FFS!! are they serious?

    if anything they are trying to lure more people into that failed concept of rated battlegrounds (actually its not a failed concept its failure was in its execution)

    As far as I'm aware you can only use ground mounts in BG's Arenas? so yeah why wouldn't you get a mount you can use in those places as a reward from doing those places ..

    I am happy that the firehawks are not going to be easy to obtain, I was worried they would ruin another good model mount by making it extremely common.

    hey artists just add some armour to the twilight drake im sure no one will notice

    ground pvp mounts are for rated battleground victories... chances are if you have enough victories for the mount you'll be using it alot in the bgs..

    Not gonna see the hippogriffs for a while.. Its a tonne of tokens to unlock each part, so this mount will be epic for a while yet

    How about new models instead of 30 reskins of the same mount over the last 5 years.
