    Velen looks SSSSOOOOOO amazing. (But I agree with Luuth on the wrinkliness of his sleeves.)

    I'd appreciate the ability to actually SEE Durotan's face, though.

    Blackhand looks amazing to me. Wish I could get his armor for xmog! Thrall looks badass, he powered up and blew his sleeves off! :P

    Now this may mean nothing but after looking at Thrall, Durotan, Grommash and Blackhand I have to ask is this going to add to maybe a new style of hand armor or will their extra detail gauntlets be npc only?

    Beta? Was it not supposed to be only at Alpha?

    I like the new model for Velen, with one exception -- his beard is too poofy.

    Also, Thrall badly needs to visit the barber. That hair ruins his otherwise-tolerable appearance.

    Didn't they say that in Draenor, the Orcs have not yet been corrupted by the blood of Mannoroth? If that's the case, then why is Thrall green? Is that a present day incarnation of him that goes back to Draenor?

    Always love looking at the maps for some reason, can't wait to run those dungeons, and for some reason, looking forward to seeing Outland again. :\

    I knew Thrall was an alien, as he is an orc, but come on...

    I miss the warsong banner on Groms back! he really needs it to get his blademaster feel.
    Duratar looks great, Thrall aswell thank god he leaves his shammy life style behind and returns to his warrior ways and put his armor on again.

    Velen is also a nice design looks like the male draenei is going to improve alot.

    As for Blackhand bit of a let down for me, he looks like he had a dragonball Z fusion with Deathwing.... If i remember corretly in Warcraft1 Blackhand had a different armor set on.

    Because at the time when WOD happens, Thrall wasn't born yet, so Thrall is the exact same Thrall we know. The Thrall who got kidnapped as a baby. There is no Incarnation, it's the same guy.

    Holy shit.....if the new Draenei male models look like Velen i will race change for that. Sooooooo damn badass!!

    Thrall- I think needs a new hairstyle xD But I love how they merged his shaman dress with the old armor. Also glad to see they kept him straight backed like he is meant to be.
    Durotan- I really hope we get some helm or cloak or something that lets us have a wolf pelt like that!
    Grom- Angry looking, skulls and spikes. Expectations satisfied.
    Velen- Epic Beard. Expectations satisfied. (Though in the novels they describe his skin as being white standing out against all the other draenei.. that's nit picking though.)
    Blackhand- Who needs a neck when you have fire?

    Everything looks good but Thrall...I mean come on! That haircut god it looks horrible. He should just go back to wearing FULL doomhammer armor not half and half. I mean seriously its about time! But the haircut is just horrible!
