So this is one of my favorite transmog sets thus far. It's obnoxiously bright, but the colors somehow work on my orc, I think. I'm sure others could come up with somewhat better pieces here & there, and the melee weapon, Halberd of Smiting, is no longer in-game--Lantresor's Warblade or Flame Wrath (polearm) or Damnation or Abracadaver (staff) all work in its place. For the gun, if you prefer a bow (as I do), Heart Striker is an excellent choice (it hasn't dropped for me yet!). If you want to do this as Alliance, you will need to go tabard-less or find another suitable tabard.

This set looks great on many hunters, and should also be fully attainable for shamans. It looks good with Red Proto-Drake, Red Drake, Black Drake, Crimson Deathcharger, War Raptor, War Wolf, and more; and for pets, the red hyena, Terrorpene and armored wolf all look awesome.

I'm super happy to finally have a transmog set that actually matches this mount--and when I'm using my Karoma (Shiver), the legs of the horse bring the wolf together with the set.



Gear List:

Shoulders: Drakesfire Epaulets
Cloak: Blood Knight War Cloak
Chest: Scarlet Chestpiece
Tabard: Tabard of the Dragonmaw Clan
Gloves: Gauntlets of Divinity (Paler Alternate Here)
Belt: Scarlet Belt
Legs: Ebonhold Leggings - Thanks Wassa for the name of these! (I had an identical but no-longer-available piece)
Boots: Scarlet Boots

Polearms: Flame Wrath - Lantresor's Warblade (there are Horde, Alliance & lookalike versions) - Halberd of Smiting (no longer available)
Staves: Abracadaver - Damnation
Ranged: Dragonbreath Hand Cannon - Heartstriker

I'm not usually a fan of the color red, but I had the scarlet set, and the onyx-embedded legguards, and when I threw the Scarlet set on for a joke and then swapped out those legs, the idea took shape. I'm not an enormous fan of the boots, but there doesn't seem to be a better black or red choice that fits the hues already in the set! If anyone can come up with better boots let me know :P

The identical leggings are Ebonhold Leggings.

Some other boots. I didn't check if they match perfectly color wise, just linking redish color boots.
Revelosh's Boots
Bloodlust Boots
Ironhide Greaves
Bloodshot Greaves
Boots of the Skybreaker
Treads of Coastal Wandering
Decimation Treads
Hero's Boots with some blue to match the mount?

Thank you, Wassa! Updated the post with Ebonhold Leggings.

Also, I really like the Bloodlust Boots & Ironhide Greaves. On an orc it doesn't work so well, though--that model doesn't cover her skin (the pants stop short at midcalf on the sides). And we know what orc calves are like. I think on a blood elf or anything with a more neutral (i.e. non-green/blue) skin tone, it would look awesome. Nevertheless I'm going to keep my eyes open for them and try them out if they become available, because they are gorgeous >.>

I'd actually love to see this set on a tan, black or reddish-brown female tauren! And if only regular orcs could take that dusky Blackrock-style black-gray DK-only skintone :(

EDIT--checked it out with the comparison tool in modelviewer. Looks pretty epic on most anything without blue skin :lol:
