Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooood Thirsteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeer.

ANd the concept art looks AWEEEEEEEEEEEESOME.


Epic Zealot is freaking ridiculously good looking, especially the female........which worries me, because apperantly Mythic is taking the approach to have every female with massive breasts.

And those Ironbreaker and Black Orc customization choices finally let us know just how diverse you can make your character look.

I think the zealot armor looked extremely badass. Not sure about the massive breasts thing. The empire females hardly seem "massive" to me. But I guess it's all opinion.

The woods in Reikland looked awesome. They really looked like woods, and not just a bunch of trees sparsely put on the ground. Awesome shot.


EDIT: Quick question..... What the HELL is Tier 5??? On the Dwarf Ironbreaker concept art I noticed that.

Well, Mythic completely ruined Chaos for me. Chaos Chosen is a Power Ranger villain, Magus is stealing his grandmother's skirt and male Zealot is like that guy from Village People. Only that he's dressed for Halloween.

They completely failed to capture that "feeling" which miniatures and army books had.
On the other hand, I bet they'll look much, much better in the next five months or so.

Oh yea, greenskins look quite nice. Also liked the environment.

Oh, by the way, don't even get me started with epic Zealot armour.

See I think they've capture the feeling of chaos exactly right, but I think that's it. The miniatures feel different to everyone. I don't get the same feeling looking at the Empire or Dwarfs that I get when I picture the miniatures, but with Chaos I really do.

Probably different for everyone.

Environments are very amazing though, and I think that would be hard for anyone to argue.

Those zealots looks phenomenal, and that alone has made me interested in the class. I think the massive breasts make perfect sense for chaos, did not expect otherwise.

I am anxious to see more, and seeing the chosen makes me hopeful that some info about the lastest classes has been released.

Very very cool stuff, thanks guys and Mythic.

Although, I'm a bit of a sad panda, because the Chaos screenshot showed all the classes except the Marauder, which gives me the feeling we won't be seeing any from the fansite gathering... mind you, there also isn't any Squig Herder in the Greenskin photo, and I can't see them not including any info/screenshots on that since we've known about it for ages, so I guess theres still hope for the Marauder yet. *Crosses fingers*

Chaotic breast vs. real breast = chaos vs empire..
Maybe players will have choice to modify the shapes Then you can easily know it's man or woman in real

The thing I loved about the Zealot armor is that if you look at the side view of it, it has a long spindly birds head.

If you've got Liber Chaotica, you can see where they got it from, as theres a sketch of a cultist type person with a birds head thats very similar to whats shown in that concept art, although instead of it being part of the clothing its actually the cultists face thats mutated into a birds head.

I said the same thing earlier. Tier 5, and then there are Epic Uniques that look even more badass.

...... Would Tier 5 be considered stuff you get "after" you hit max level? maybe?

EDIT: Either way, that concept art of the Dwarf Ironbreaker helmets makes me want to play one, and I haven't wanted to until now. Those helms are amazing.

I don't know but this is interesting ... hmm, maybe you get it in the world pvp dungeon, I heard there are going to be either 3 to 4 dungeons and one of them is the really big one so it could be tier 5 ina sense, remember for all you WoW players this is a WoW dungeon it would be like a DAoC dungeon

Very cool. I like seeing the progression of the equipment as they get higher in level. The Zealots look vicious and scary, very well done.

I really like how the Empire cities and zones are turning out as well. They'll be fun to hang out in, for sure.

I finally think they're showing what could be considered True Dwarf style armor though. The previous stuff has been kind of "meh." This new stuff is amazing.

Hmm, maybe some rare PvP rewards? Purchasable with points earned for such and such things.
