Undead Death Knight

Ironically, my undead death knight is not super into the "skulls and bones" aesthetic of most of the death knight sets. Instead, I wanted to go with an "executioner" vibe, which I think I accomplished here. The result is a little more minimal, a little sleeker, a little more medieval looking. For full commit you'd want to go with one of the scythe-like axe or polearm models, but Armageddon just fit the set so well and looks so freaking awesome I couldn't resist using it!

Night Elf Warrior

For my night elf warrior, I wanted a "defender of the grove" kind of vibe, so I was looking for equipment with greens and browns. There are a few great options, and I used them to assemble the set you see here. This is one of those concepts I'd love to turn into a fully-fledged roleplay character, if I had the time and inclination to do so (I don't, unfortunately). Pretty much any weapon will work, especially if you slap Enchanter's Illusion - Mending on it to make it look extra nature-y.

Tauren Paladin

Tauren paladins were one of the best things to come out of the Cataclysm class expansion (along with troll druids), and the Sunwalkers are awesome. That was one of the things I liked about Mists, specific factions (or even sub-factions) had specific things they were doing in the world or in the story. It made the expansion very connected to the lore and politics of Warcraft, even taking place in Pandaria. Sadly, that's been lost in Warlords, but I hope it comes back sometime. In the meantime, here's my attempt at a Sunwalker champion. I'm really happy with this outfit -- the gold and glowing blue make it a distinctively paladin look, but the roughness and horns make it look a little wild and primal too, which I think fits a Tauren holy warrior.

Dwarf Death Knight

Sorry about the unannounced vacation -- RL got real busy all of a sudden! But I'm back, with some more original mogs this week. For my dwarf Dwath Knight, I wanted something in the vibe of "frost dwarf champion" or even "fallen mountain king." I couldn't make either concept really work 100%, so this is sort of a mixture of the two. I really like the Wrath Scourgelord's Frigid Battleplate set (and Wrath armor in general) for dwarves, which matches the Tier 10 chest/legs pretty well (I like the extra bulkiness of the legs). The tabard I could take or leave, but the weapons are just awesome, and super frost dwarf looking. If this was actually a character of mine I'd probably keep working on this set a little bit more, but for now I'm happy with it.

Gnome Warrior

For my first hypothetical transmog, I present a brave soldier of Gnomeregan! Okay, I was a little lazy with this outfit, but the result is solid nonetheless. If I were to put a little more time into this, I would at least change the belt to something that stands out more (but still matches, of course). But I'm in the middle of moving and summer trips and some other stuff, so you might have to deal with some lazy mogs for a few weeks! I do actually have this character made, sitting at level 1 just waiting to be played -- which will probably never happen, alas.

Blood Elf Paladin

There's a lot of iconic blood knight gear in the game, but I wanted to come up with something new for Valiseth here. Obviously the set started with the Blood Knight Tabard and Blood Knight War Cloak, and then I went looking for black-and-red gear. The Horde Tyrannical Gladiator paladin gear was a good start, with the bonus of being very ornate and looking like something blood elves would craft and wear, so I grabbed those shoulder and leg pieces. The Tempered Saronite Battlegear was a perfect source for the remaining gear I needed (though I did go with a non-set bet that looked a little fancier). Finally, Reclaimed Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood worked perfectly for a blood knight weapon, especially with an Illusion: Fiery Weapon enchant. The result is very distinctly a fearsome blood knight, but different than the standard blood knight looks and sets.

Human Death Knight

Sorry about the unannounced vacation, nonexistent readership, I've been extremely busy in RL -- still am! But let's see if I can get back to updating this bi-weekly anyway. Without further ado, here's Rivane, my Alliance main before Warlords. I have feelings about this transmog. One the one hand, it really captures the concept of a fallen champion of the Alliance, built around the Thassarian's Battlegear set with its dark blues and faded golds. The tabard is a perfect match, and the belt and boots are pretty close, as well (I really hate the blocky giant boots style). But they're only pretty close and the colors are just off enough to annoy me. It's unnoticeable in-game, but in the model viewer, ugh. I have similar issues with the cape, but there's nothing that really matches the colors the way I'd like. So the whole thing is merely good enough. In an expansion or two, when I can solo heroic MoP raids, I'll probably start working on this radically different dragoon-esque set.

Tauren Warrior

Most plate sets look badass on tauren, but I decided to do something different for Boruun, something a little more appropriate to the tauren culture and aesthetic. Something less "plate-clad colossus", and more "tribal nomad warrior." This set started with the light shoulders and the Thunder Bluff tabard, and everything else followed from there -- rather well, I think. I naturally went with the Axe of the Tauren Chieftains for a weapon, but if you want a 1h+shield look, I would recommend the Talon Guard Wingclipper and Observer's Shield.

Dwarf Warrior

Nothing particularly complicated involved in transmogging my dwarf warrior Kharun. I wanted to build a set around the shield, which just happened to match warrior Tier 10 very well -- with the inscribed runes and earth browns and oranges, the set looks very dwarven. Even better, everything matches the Ironforge Tabard, and I love me some faction tabards. One matching orange/red cloak later, and you have a stalwart defender of Ironforge.

Human Paladin

Brevan is my Alliance main, at least as of Warlords. I imagined him as the iconic Alliance paladin, and with full Tier 13 armor and the Stormwind Tabard, he sure looks the part. The sword and shield were only a little tricky to match (and a little trickier to obtain). Of course, what is a paladin without his trusty mounts, and as an added bonus this mog matches the human Charger and Grand Armored Gryphon perfectly. He's just dripping with Alliance pride and style.

Orc Death Knight

Gorehl is one of my current mains in Warlords, and my oldest active main. I imagine that after the war in Northrend, he committed himself fully to the Horde, serving them now as a commander and champion. His transmog reflects both his death knight nature and his Horde allegiance. The red versions of the iconic death knight gear matches the Hellscream's Reach Tabard perfectly, and the Tier 10 chest/legs add some variety. The Tier 9 sword obviously has a strong Horde aesthetic, but also appears to be a runeblade. The result is a very striking death knight of the Horde.
