It's one of the bosses of the council fight in ToT

Those trolls aren't the player models, though. I believe it was an NPC model used sometime in Cata/MoP? They were just using it as an example as to how the females *might* end up looking once they're done. :3
Oooh. Alright, I'll remove it. I've never seen that model before(definitely not in ToT)

Here she is:

It's most definitelly an old model, just with some new fancy texture on it.
I really like her feel, though - savage, yet still beatiful, in her savage way. The problem with those all-but-one troll faces is not that they're not cute/feminine enough, it's that they're poopin ugly

Is that her? Huh. I never really paid attention. I was usually too busy with the sand guy in my face for the first half of it and the other half, following the shadow around. XD

I can say for sure that it's not just the old player model that has had a new skin on it. Might be a modified version of it or something.
I hope they make them look like that model, or at least something similar.
I tried comparing the old model to the newer one, and you can see the difference is not only the skin.

What Smyelmdar said. That's almost entirely a new model AND texture. So that, honestly, might be pretty close to what the player model looks like.

Exactly. And that can work for me.
But imagine that one cute face they have now, put on this model. o.O

You mean that cute face that EEEEEVERYONE picks?

(Not dissing it! I like it. I'm not a troll person, but it'd be my face of choice.) I think it could work if done right. There needs to be more variation now in faces though. For troll females I always found it was either vicious, ugly, vicious, REALLY VICIOUS, or cute. o.o

Haha well I always go for the ugly/vicious ones. And I am a troll person. Most my characters are trolls. Or dwarf females.

Everyone? Now, now Snowy, I have it on like one or two of my Trolls. The vast majority use two of the vicious ones, because I'm not one for cute characters. Especially cute Trolls, because if I wanted to gag on over-sugary sweetness, I'd play a Belf or a Gnome.

That's actually not true. I RARELY come across a female troll using the vicious troll faces that look uglier than sin. Most use the gentler face. Even me.

Luna'jin has a pretty face. If I wanted to play an old bag, I'd go play an undead.

This is just from the sidelines, since I'm not someone who plays trolls.

I've just noticed the 'cute' face being used quite often is all.

Yes, my wording was wrong. I meant the vast majority of MY trolls. But yeah, you are both right. Almost everyone uses that sugary face. It's kinda gross, because why play a Barbie Troll? But oh well, to each their own.

I always get surprised when I see people using other than the cutsey face on the female trolls. It's rare. At least on my server/battlegroup.

I edited my post to say if I wanted to look like an ugly old bag, I'd play an undead. The 'vicious faces' don't look vicious to me. They look deformed, ugly, and overall primative to what the trolls have evolved into. My troll is young, why would I give her the face of something much older than her, yanno?
But as you said, to each their own.

Oh if only the Undead females LOOKED like ugly old bags, but sadly they have the option for pretty faces too, which sort of disturbs me. They are ZOMBIES. Why are they hot??? O.o
And yes, I actually have two Trolls with the cute face as well, because RP wise they are both very young, and I wanted to show that in some way. And while I love them, I always get uncomfortable having these beauty queen trolls walking around like so many Belves.

I like my undead female's 'pretty' face! D: I know exactly the face people are thinking of, and to me, it was always kind of more of a 'blank' expression and that's why I liked it so much, because my undead female has always had a sort of 'I have no idea what I'm doing' kind of attitude and I liked that.
And, well, as an undead person, I can't say that I'm into the 'cuter' stuff.

My main is a blood elf, admittedly, but she has what I like to call a very 'pissed off' expression, I love it. I never thought of the blood elves as 'cute'. I always thought they looked like they had some attitude, and I liked that. But yeah, the Forsaken are my favourite race of all time, and my favourite facial expression for my girl I always call the 'I have no idea what I'm doing' confused expression. She just looks so blank. xD To me, the 'cute' race are the female gnomes!
Still, if I like what the new undead females look like, my main will no longer have to be a blood elf anyway. (':

If they straighten up the Undead a little I will be so, so happy. Their posture is a pet peeve of mine, even though I love them. Oddly enough I actually like most of the faces for them, and they're one of the only races I can say that for.
I really hope that Night Elf females retain their current physique. They look graceful but are clearly strong, and I wouldn't have Bangeall any other way. I really don't want a Barbie-doll Night Elf, or one with the Human physique.
Oh God, I need a gnome now. Those faces are so adorable. Why do I not have a gnome?!
For the first time in quite a while, I'm excited about WoW again! Can't wait to see more!

I actually hope the undead females will resemble the new undead males. I just love those.
But I'm also really looking forward to seeing some more different face types on the new models.
They're really killing us with all this new stuff! I want to see all of the new models nao!
