MoP Ending: Warchief Thrall

[Baracuda]

I like it. His hammer looks a lot better than the first one he had in WoW but it still looks like a toy to me.

[kabshiel]

Varian Wrynn will be Warchief of the Horde, King of Stormwind, Military commander of the Alliance, and overseer of the Human occupation of Orgrimmar

I think that would actually make for a really interesting story. And I'm a Horde player.

This is absolutely amazing, 10/10.

This proves something beyond the shadow of a doubt. If metzen would just listen to this and understand, people weren't happy with Thrall in his new role and his new gear. Seeing this rendition of Thrall in what could, my heart skips a beat. This is what the fans want to see, this whole change was wrong in cataclysm.

Its like, when you read in comics, about how they take a hero and dramatically change that heroes appearance and role, then the hero isn't as received by the fans as they once were. this happened to characters like wolverine, superman, aquaman, spiderman.

What the fans want to see if the character they envision in there mind, and that keeps that character afloat. Change can sometimes be good, but sometimes it can be done so wrong the only thing you can do it try to backstep to fix it, which is what many of the comic heroes I mentioned were given, a backstep to make them into there old selves again.

As ive said for your other posts on here showing off your models. Absolutely amazing, truly awsome. Would love to see your model of Baine, there arnt too many unique models for tauren.

[Alixie]

A very awesome render. I did eye roll at the propaganda and closed a minute in though. He looks too much like Varien and stands too much like a human. Over all, this glorified Thrall makes me wish he'd go away even more. Unless there's equal representation and Pandaria is all about glorifying Varien this time, so we too can have Jesus as a fraction leader.

[Medjumurac]

Has any actually seen the models this guy has done? They're pretty god damn amazing...

Would also love to see this. As well as a unique model of Vol'jin

[Roulette Kneebasha]

Very nice!

Looking forward to seeing your Vol'Jin version as well! I'm biased and he has my vote.

I keep seeing suggestions for Sylvanas to be Warchief dotted around and, as a Sylvanas fan, it strikes me as a the worst idea of all time. The Horde will always have an Orc as leader, MAYBE a Troll or Tauren but to have a Forsaken, Blood Elf or a Goblin (admittedly a Goblin Warchief is something I'd probably support but since we haven't even gotten our OWN leader sorted out yet and for a variety of other completely justified reasons that'll probably never happen) be made the boss? You'd have riots on the first day. Being in charge is something I think is extremely important to the Orcs, if they ever weren't the special children of the Horde they'd just leave and start their own Horde with blackjack and hookers.

That said I'd still really like to see how Sylvanas might look if she sat on Orgrimmar's throne as a hypothetical kind of thing. Could be interesting.

[Snowraven]

Is that actual lore, that killing the warchief makes the killer the new warchief? I have never read that anywhere...would provide an interesting situation if Varian gets the killing blow :P
Also, why do you think Shandris gets the killing blow?

Yes, it is actual lore that the one to kill the former warchief gets the mantle, though if he/she is accepted by masses would be a big bonus, otherwise I'd assume the new warchief would be challenged a lot. There is also the idea that the title can be passed on, Thrall passed it on (though, if not for Arthas's attack, Thrall and Garrosh might have fought to the death as I don't know if it was a mag'okra by Thrall's rules or the old ones) and Thrall getting leadership, though about Thrall it's kind of strange, as the problem is that the Horde was in an unique situation. However, that said, I don't think they'd accept anyone that doesn't follow the Horde ideals as a warchief, and a non-orc wouldn't be very loved either by the masses.

That said, Shandris already got the killing blow because when Cataclysm launched people kited her to Orgrimmar and she 1-shot everyone

[lanceb]

Other previews of how I envision leaders of the Horde to become the next Warchief include

Vol'jin
Baine Bloodhoof
Sylvanas
Varok Saurfang

can see anyone of these as warchief exept sylvanas if thrall in the end doesnt resume the role as warchief, always liked sylvanas but lately its something about her that make me not to fully trust her intentions, the fight at gilneas is one reason, that she still used the blight even when she was ordered not to.
if not thrall then i would like to see saurfang as warchief

you do know a lot of those saying that about sylvanas isn't because she could lead the horde right or that its even a smart idea. Its because she wears a metal thong and tight panties and makes all the boys in the yard whistle. They don't actully care that she's become twisted in her pursuits, they just want a hot chick leading the horde. If Sylvanas was a man, this wouldn't even be considered.

[Teddybearavenger]

If thrall actually becomes warchief again im quitting. It makes absolutely no sense and their story has been messed up and chomped on by them not making a decision with Garrosh's story. Thrall is the worst orc by far why would i want a humanized orc as a leader again? When everyone hated him in lore as well. Except other faction leaders but whatever they don't count.

Speak for yourself. Also, we won't miss you.

[luccadeo]

Great work but for the love of Elune please no more Thrall. Let his story be over so he can retire somewhere in Nagrand.

Ugh, yeah I'm aware. Pantsless fanart and everything. Sometimes it makes me actually miss her old model despite her being the wrong race etc. I get the feeling the hundreds of Sylvanas threads we get every month would either not exist or go very differently if she still looked that way.

[Solorian750]

dear christ, blizz has said that garrosh isnt going to be the FINAL boss, or even a boss at all, it will more than likely be a scenario lol, and they also said that thrall isnt going to become warchief again...sigh

What Blizzard said was not to be so sure we know what's going to happen. They could just be trying to create false suspense.

And even if they had told us Thrall isn't to be the Warchief again what's the harm in a little speculation? Most of what we ramble on about here is pointless, we're just discussing possibilities.

Then can you quit please and leave the game for those who still enjoy the lore.

You don't know jack about Thralls story or why he's a hero or how he made the horde into something great, you just concede with all the other whiners who got cata burned out and wanted to peg the blame onto npcs

I got news for you sunshine, the horde has so few good guys left in it, that if Thrall didn't return it would collapse on itself.

So few good guys? Baine, Vol'jin and (arguably) Lor'themar are all pretty cool fellows. Granted Garrosh, Gallywix and Sylvanas are all jerks but with Garrosh getting kicked out and Gallywix likely to stay in line as long as the Horde keeps him rich and comfortable (unless Garrosh has sweet-talked him into his big plan somehow) Sylvanas is pretty much maintaining the darker side of the Horde all by herself. Compared to the Alliance they certainly have less good guys but that doesn't mean they're running particularly low on them. The Orc starting experience shows the Horde is fairly evenly split between younger Orcs that want to stomp the humies and and older, more cautious ones who still remember Gul'dan and Blackhand's bullshit.

He looks pretty gay, sorry.
