Orc Paladin (Hunter Transmog)

Explanation!

Heya folks! I've been messing around with some transmog sets for my hunter. I've been going with a lot of dark themes (S1) and bestial, orcish commander looks (Headdress of the First Shaman + Purple-black Cloak + Dragonmaw tabard). For a change, I decided to go with my Giantstalker set and aim for a sort of "paladin" look, as that's how the shoulders have always struck me. However, I'm not a fan of the entire set, so searching for & acquiring replacements has been interesting--and also finding a tabard, mount & pet to go with it has been fun! I like the final result, although the weapon, bow--not shown--and feet are likely to be changed. The feet just clash a little imo, and the weapon doesn't have its own glow, meaning the Agility enchant kind of blasts the effect with green-ness :P

The set goes really well with the Tirisfal Bear (or any diseased white--forgive me for not having named him yet!), and fantastically with the Argent Warhorse. It also finally gives me a possibility to use my Albino Drake, which in every other situation just looks ugly to me! :lol: And it lets me use my white worg, a model I've always loved; it may not be a 100% match but it's close!

Scroll down to the end of my second post for pics of the UPDATED set in ModelViewer!

Pictures!

This headpiece looks a bit shamanistic; see the alternate below.

Alternate headpiece, the Crown of Destruction.

Let's go, recruits!

The Set!

Headpiece: Fathom-Helm of the Deeps or Crown of Destruction
Shoulders: Giantstalker's Epaulets
Chest: Giantstalker's Breastplate
Shirt: Black Swashbuckler's Shirt
Tabard: Argent Crusader's Tabard
Cloak: Drape of Benediction - this item is no longer available, but I'm sure there's appearance-equivalents around.
Gloves: Gianstalker's Gloves
Belt: Giantstalker's Belt
Legs: Tristam Legguards
Boots: Giantstalker's Boots
Melee Weapon: Splintering Greatstaff (Random Enchant)
Ranged Weapon (Not Shown): Zod's Repeating Longbow

* * * * * *

Mounts shown are the Albino Drake & Argent Warhorse; pets shown are White Worg & Diseased White Bear. I think the set also goes fairly well with the White Skeletal Warhorse (Horde only) & the white eagle & owl pets.

If anyone has any suggestion for feet, or a better ranged or melee weapon, or an opinion on which headpiece matches better (or a suggestion for an alternate), shout!

I love those, Well at least she can pass herself as an Argent Crusader Hunter XD

Have you tried out the same gears on a female human model? If you do, can you share it?

Here we go, human:

And Blood Elf too:

Also, here's a nice transmog set I may borrow boots & chest from, as the Giantstalker's has a bit too much red etc in; the Ornate Mail set: http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=262 The set would also likely look much better with a white shirt.

Edit:

Here's a Draenei Female, and a Dorf Male (to show the boots >.>) with the following swaps:

Gloves: Rockwurm Scale Gauntlets
Boots: Ornate Greaves
Chest: Ornate Breastplate
Shirt: White Swashbuckler's Shirt

Still not 100% happy with the gloves, though, nor the weapon's glow. Still, better than the original, if I can get my hands on the pieces!

Oh, I wasn't aiming to do all the races--just a few that can be both paladins & hunters, for the sake of the theme :lol:

Aww, I said just a FEW of them! :D Joking aside though, if you want to see this on a specific race just let me know and I'll whip it together :)

Trying to find the Ornate pieces is turning out to be painful at best, so I'll likely change transmog set & just haunt the AH for a few weeks ^^

Hmm, I may have to see how this would look with other shoulders. The Giantstalkers shoulders clip through my ears. :( Otherwise I like them just for how immense they are.
