I hope they look a bit more like the chosen in http://www.secretlivesofmobs.com/index.php?strip_id=22

rather than http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/gameInfo/armiesofWAR/Chaos/Careers/images/NL_Chosen_12.jpg

I'm thinking the big difference is the breastplate. I know that steel is MUCH, MUCH harder when bent in such a way that it looks like you have a pot belly, but it's chaos armor.

But I'm sure that they'll sharpen the graphic on it.

I can't really tell what you like / don't like about these two sets of armor from your post. So...yeah. Might want to expand on that.

Sorry, what I liked was the slightly more form-fitting armor, as seen in the comic. The screenshots we've seen have huge, bulky armor that looks like most of it is unnecessary. In screenshots where the chosen's head is showing, you can tell that the armor is COMPLETELY un-proportional to him, making them less intimidating and more awkward.

Edit: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=732&c=2 is what I'm hoping changes by launch. (The chosen on the left looks terrible)

Ah, okay.

Well, that's not going to happen. They want Chaos Chosen to look "iconic", which basically means that they are pretty much all going to be large towering behemoths in laughably-unrealistically proportion armor. It's all a part of their charm! Honestly, customization in this game seems to be, "different versions of the same look", so I wouldn't play Chosen if you don't like the "bulky warrior" thing.

I like the "Big Warrior encased in armor" archetype, but not the chosen's look of "Average sized man put into a small vehicle sized suit of armor.

Bleh, I'll stick to marauder, or see if the elves have any good classes.

*ahem* To quote a member of mytic

"Chosen are huge burly northmen in huge burly armor"

Fabulous.

Marauder it is then.

That looks was mainly designed for deflecting lances from your important parts while on horseback. (pot belly)

I'd prefer something like the chosen in the 'mark of chaos' trailer, it's somewhere in between I think (and coincidently fairly close, with regards to stature, to the one in the official war trailer).

I'd rather be a champion of Khorne or something, but you know... Either way I'll be making a Chosen eventually :)

I think they look pretty sweet. Can't wait to see all the different kinds of armor for them.

I want chosen to look like THIS! (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DrkTranquillity6/sephiroth.jpg) What are these huge armoured dudes, no way! Don't Mythic realize what they're doing!? Sure my prefered choice isn't at all representative of offical GW artwork, but it's really cool and I really like it and I just know if they listen to me that the game will be a million times cooler.

You've made a wise choice, friend.

I want the Chosen to look like this:http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8316990/ , though it might because I drew the damn thing.:D

Hey, cool concept, but a bit to futuristic and anime-esque for Warhammer.

Maybe the Tau would use it. :P

I doubt the Tau would use it, close quarters fighting ain't their thing, though if THQ wanted to expand on the lore in the 40K game..........

Yeah, he does have a giant frickin' sword. I think I'm the only one who prefers smaller ones in my fantasy. :p

Will these do?: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31144002/ . I hope I'm not offending anyone by what seems like image spamming.
