I like the new model, very Thrall-like, but more shamany than with the doom armor. The model they conjured for WoD was ridiculous, so I welcome this one with open arms.
But if I am to like his character he can't be the same personality he used to be. Guilt-punishing his people and being a slow-reaction leader all around wasn't a good look, then I hated how he refused all responsibility for Garrosh and even cheated to defeat him. I can understand why he'd rescue Baine from execution, but other than that I want him to recognise the merits of Sylvanas's side and work towards returning the two sides of the Horde back together. The role of a mediator would be good at this point in the story and someone who was once the Warchief fills those shoes well.
