So Fel orcs joining the new horde?

[Ainell]

No, they just have really bad sunburn.

[Venziir]

Now that is interesting!
They could be Shattered Hand, Bleeding Hollow, or even Bonechewer or Shadowmoon orcs.... Or they are the Dragonmaw orcs from Outland, used to support the Dragonmaw orcs in Azeroth, now serving the Horde... Good find indeed!

[Desimar]

I'm fairly sure those are options for normal orcs

Never seen that tabard though

[Cernunnos]

I see a thrallmar tabard there.

[Venziir]

I'm fairly sure those are options for normal orcs

What kind of options?

[Cernunnos]

Skin color options.

[wreliq]

Actually, while those options are NOT available to orcs (that deep red of a skin tone), I will say this - easiest way to tell if it's a Fel Orc, is if it has the spikey protrusions on it's body. ALL the Fel Orcs have them...
So.. *shrug* could either be the ambient lighting of the zone playing tricks on your eyes, or simply a screw up somewhere, where a dev put a red skin on an Orc.

[Venziir]

Skin color options.

No, you can't chose red as a skin colour option as an orc player....

[Millhi]

What kind of options?

he means the skin color when creating an orc, but no there are no red orc skins avaible to players if i'm not mistaken

No, go do SH, Ramp or BF, loads of fel orcs without spikes and boartusks.

stop trippin dude. Even on shrooms i would be able to tell those are normal orcs.

Dragonmaw on the other hand, are Fel orcs and are joining the Horde. They are by Twilight Highlands.

[Venziir]

Wait, they're actually changing things in the Outlands for Cataclysm? I figured they'd just leave it well enough alone and tell players to spend their 12 hour vacation leveling there on the way to Northrend.

Or is that outside the portal in the new Blasted Lands? Doesn't look like the other SSes I've seen.

It's in Blasted Lands, check the SS where you can see the sky.

Not quite true either, the Dragonmaw that are joining the Horde are grey/black skinned, and are from Wetlands and Redridge.

.

Also, you claim that you can't see that they are RED?

[Magruun]

are you sure thats a fel orc?
it doesn't have spikes from his back or enlarged fangs.

also I believe outland is largely untouched by this expansion, as of BC almost all fel orcs work for Illidan. I just dont see fel orc clans join the Horde

[JohnnyTKF]

Interesting... Well, most Fel Orcs I had seen were different, even as Alliance (where we helped the Horde retrieve their catapults in Outland) buuuut... They could've changed them... No idea, to be honest, all I know is I want Cataclysm soon :S

[Venziir]

From Wowwiki: Some Fel Orcs seen in-game are simply regular male orcs with retextured skin, but most have a distinct Fel Orc model and different combat sounds than regular orcs.

A good example would be the first boss from SH, Nethekurse.

Also, really, can't anyone remember that? :O

[Deathstroke]

judging by the skin color and tabard, it seems like a fel orc to me. it also isn't the lighting, cause it doesn't affect the goblin standing next to him.

The tabard is just a Thrallmar tabard, which is very non-fel orc in itself.

[mahad]

I,ve read about that dragonmaw are rejoining horde, this prolly include fel orc as for alliance, iron dwarf seem to rejoin the alliance as well as i saw a picture of the girl if magni is a dark iron representive.

We may expect some characters options to look like the new allies cousin of some races.

[JohnnyTKF]

Oh well, Garrosh takes them all to the Horde, more to kill for me :P Just kidding, but I do hope we'll see some Alliance/Horde conflict from an Alliance PoV in Southern EK, cause I won't send every alt to WPL (Oh, who am I kidding? I will).

EDIT: Oh god, I feel dumb now, it DOES make sense, after all there's an Alliance friendly Dark Iron trader in Arathi, so atleast some Dark Iron are with us now, then it does make sense :P
