Description PLEASE READ:

This is actually a Deathwing-themed Warrior armour set I made almost a year ago, assuming there would be 4 tiers in Cata (like there were in WotLK) I made my own "Tier 14" Deathwing Warrior set.

Now you may or may not know, recently released on battle.net was a spoiler of the Tier 13 warrior set, which was HEAVILY based off of Deathwing.

here's a link if you haven't seen it already;

>>>[link] <<<

So here's the story, during the car trip on my way to my holiday destination, I decided to start drawing in my small sketchbook that I brought along.

I had the inspiration of the set because In the final tier of WotLK, Death Knights were the main focus of the expansion, so the final tier (t10) set for Death Knights was loosely based off the Lich King (the expansion's main villain), as seen here:

>>>[link] <<<.

With this whole Idea I thought to myself, "how about in the final tier of Cataclysm (which I assumed to be t14) I base the Warrior tier off of Deathwing" (the expansion's main villain).

With this idea I pretty much just drew a simple concept for the shoulders, helmet, belt, chest, gloves and boots (the gloves, chest and boots were on another page which I had misplaced).

So...I'm probably going to get some flack and accusations for being a stealer or whatnot, but I can honestly assure you I designed this a year ago, rougly a week or so after Cata's release, when I went on holidays.

I didn't back-date it, but yeah, will probably get some in disbelief, man, what a fool I was for not uploading this earlier, ah well, that's pretty much my story

also, this is 2 pages of my A4 sketchbook scanned and photo-shopped together into the same image, just in case you hadn't picked up on that yet!

Hope you Enjoy!

You should make more Set's! I'd be interested on how they'd look with your twists and imaginations

your idea is better than crappy blizzard idea, i dislike t13 for being so ugly, i believe chest should resemble DW chest plates

thanks dude, though I do think their choice of t13 shoulders were better than mine, I think just having molten and a few scratches like they have doesn't do proper justice.

I looked at DW, and then wanted to pretty much translate deathwing onto paper in the form of armour. It actually puzzles me how they left out such a key feature...lol, thanks for the feedback!

Yet I'm loving yours, even if I'm not a warrior

xD Thanks! I personally think the shoulders could have been better, and to be honest I think Blizz's t13 Warrior shoulders suit THIS set more o.O

As long as there's a pattern in the gear, it should be ok... At the same time those shoulders remind e something of a rogue set lol.

What do you recon will be next expansion?

probably Emerald Dream, since Blizz practically said MoP was going to most likely be a book.

Whatever it is, it means I'll have to grind my gear again probably... Long Live Shamanism ¬3¬

I agree because too many are too similar to the wrestler's.

vanmire In reply to hclark [2011-09-19 03:54:39 +0000 UTC]

Yes, i actually like the wrestler's belt, if its modeled correctly, but if its just a nasty skin over on a clunky belt then blargh,
