For this toon I wanted a look that was more brutal / iron age, but still at least somewhat "paladin", and I found the armor I was looking for in some of the new plate looks added to the Azeroth quests in cata (it's actually a combination of like 3-4 different sets, as most were incomplete, and/or didn't have quite enough standalone color variety, etc).

But the weapon and shield took a little more work - everything I tried was either too slick, too clean, the shield was too much for the weapon or etc. So I decided to check out the Northrend models. Generally I avoid that stuff due to the predominance of dull metal hues, but in this case that was actually a selling point, and after some digging I remembered this obscure and ridiculously large caster hammer from Icecrown called the Hammer of Wrenching Change.

Perfect! It was indeed insanely large, but if there is one thing I've learned about hefty male toons, it's that (imo) they need hefty gear... and you can't get any heftier than this 5 ton monster. The shield seemed to continue the blocky theme and matched the wooden bits, and that was pretty much it. Enjoy! :)

definitely a unique set, won't be seeing much of that at 85/90... personally though I never liked the way helms look on tauren, most just look kinda meh. What's he look like with the helm not being visible?

I toyed with that. Here he is bareheaded and with the templar's crown I had been using... I like both, but ended up leaning a bit more toward the steamsmith helm as the minimal / lack-of headgear just seemed to overemphasize the massiveness of the hammer. I'm not 100% decided on that though.
