wow Tyrande's New Model in Patch 9.1

[Stan 5,240]

Tyrande's new model 9.1 model is displayed in a short clip that plays when you visit the official World of Warcraft website.

It appears the Night Warrior is getting some screen time in Chains of Domination. In the latest video that plays on the WoW website, we see her with a completely new model. Here's the whole clip if you haven’t seen it yet.

It's been nearly 20 years since Warcraft 3. I think most of the veterans here always wished to see Tyrande look like this:

But instead, it looks like that "thing" up there.

I kinda like the design. You have more connection with older characters, we've seen normal Tyrande, we know shes wasn't normally insane/filled with vengeance.

We can see that the events that have taken place aren't just singular instances to forget about after (even though Blizzard sometimes do anyway), the things that people have been through are reflecting onto their appearances.
Tyrande isn't 'The High Priestess of Elune' anymore shes 'The Night Warrior' and shes losing control.

I like it, although I think the colours really suggest nightborne initially and are unfortunate in an expansion where we have a lot of blue-runed random bad guys. 

Herne v. Tarrague is the best part of that clip. Hype. Don't let our favorite goat-centaur be squished.

I don't get it. I'm not a veteran who waited 20 years on this, but I just googled Tyrande Whisperwind and looked up her ingame-models and pretty much most if not all look really similar to the picture you posted. The only differences I see is her either having her eyes black (after her transformation) or missing the moon-chain on the forehead. Other than that she looks 95% the same ingame.

So my question is: What is it exactly that you want to see from that picture that hasn't been there yet?

Tyrande's  facial features are a lot different to me. Older look is more angular, and newer one has a fish face.

Uhm... no? If anything that looks more like a radomass hobo archer than the High Priestess of Elune.

And I mean, they managed to screw up Thrall's design on those covers if the orc is supposed to be him.

What was wrong with Thrall? Seemed fine to me. Minus nose ring maybe, but this was earlier design.

As for Tyrande, it's just the same model, only with different markings.

Aside from the aftermentioned ring, which Thrall only had on his WoD model, his most distinct feature is being blue-eyed, an extreme rarity for an orc. And while his in-game model lacks eyecolor, you do get a good look at his face in the opening cinematic, and he is blue-eyed there too.

Oh yes, that too. They never been consistent with such small details, I think that thing with blue eyes came out of a book, at least I don't recall it ever being mentioned in game. His original model had blank white eyes, but this was the case with several units.
