If this is some sort of preview for future Troll models, I very much APPROVE!Comment by AdamsmIf this is some sort of preview for future Troll models, I very much APPROVE!Comment by 1002443Anyone else notice that the the updated leader models have less clothing that the originals? Vol'jin used to be decked out in a recolor of the troll dungeon set, now all he's got is a loincloth and a wooden shoulderpad. Garrosh used to have his bulky red armor, now he just wears black spandex and elephant tusks. Tyrande used to have a long flowing robe, now she wears a miniskirt. Just an observation.Comment by 490315Hmm Vol'Jin is starting to look more like a War Cheif and less like a Racial Leader.Comment by RankkorAnyone else notice that the the updated leader models have less clothing that the originals?

Just my opinion though, not criticizing it. :PComment by InterestI small buff to MM hunters, that was needed!Comment by 43362Hmm Vol'Jin is starting to look more like a War Cheif and less like a Racial Leader.Comment by InterestHmm Vol'Jin is starting to look more like a War Cheif and less like a Racial Leader.Comment by bloodglasAnyone else notice that the the updated leader models have less clothing that the originals?

What she wears now is the same as she was wearing when she died defending Silvermoon.Comment by DrahkenNew Vol'Jin is terrifying. His eyes are scary, his mouth (especially around his tusks) is grossing me out, he's got that very dwarf-looking beard, and his ears are all weird. Trolls have always has very long, thin, sharp ears. But these are more like goblin ears. hey almost even look like bat ears. And I just now noticed this, but trolls have toe nails on their heels? I never knew that. Their heel always just looked normal, but new Vol'Jon's are very pronounced. It almost looks like he has another toe on the backs of his feet.Comment by LenienceI like Vol'jin's new model, except those ears, dear god they are freaky looking.Comment by AshenphoenixThere's a typo in the title.
>Build 16208(it was the previous build) >> build 16231 (this one)Comment by 845793Anyone else not see the difference in the two Vol'jins? I mean, I've looked em both over, and for the LIFE OF ME, I can't see "wounded" versus "healthy."Comment by radhomeroI was looking for it too, unable to see any difference =(
