I was looking threw the model viewer, with the PTR loaded, to see if any new weapon models were out and i run into these crossbow that i didn't recognize. Just was wondering if they were new or did i miss them?

New Engineering Crossbows in 5.3, perhaps?

I'd love to see some crafted epic ranged weapons!

those actually look like a realistic crossbow type, and so unique too o:

That's not a new crossbow. That's just what the Zandalari use to flip pizzas in a brick oven.

I think that is one of the many faction-designed weapon like the Worgen's Runeblade, The Ironforge Bow etc. It seems to be a Bilgewater-inspired Crossbow.

I would take that off your hands for you, simply cause that is my favourite ranged weapon look in the game.
Ugh... Durumu, why couldn't you have dropped it for me... double gold, really?

*introduces SB to Dragon Age* My perspective on WoW dwarves and bows has forever changed due to that.

When I created my WoW equivalent of that char, it felt weird for her to have a gun!

Now that I can agree with, even though it's basically hypocritical for me to do so!

I agree when it comes to Bronzebeards and Dark Irons, but I think a bow would be very natural for a Wildhammer.

That's how I felt about my nelf, until recently

Yeah, I think it's just that WoW dwarves have such a mechanical culture that people expect them have guns.

If any of them should have bows it would be the Wildhammer.

It's also the best weapon out of ToT for us.

However I’m sure it could be done

Haha

Did you just make that? It's awesome

It could fire acorns.

Definitely. They've gone feral

If there were ever dwarf druids they'd have to come from the Wildhammer too.

I've never been willing to wear a gun on my original hunter (haven't played her for years though... I miss her

If the character per server limit is ever lifted, I'll find a way to get the money to transfer her to my new server). Like, I even passed up a ~40 ilvl upgrade gun back in wrath or cata because I refused to wear a gun on her.
As for dwarves, I've always saw Wildhammer as Bows, Dark Iron as Crossbows (not as much technology available to them in zee mountain), and guns for the Bronzebeard.

The worgen runeblade - I want! Love the roses on it, would fit perfectly with the previous tier DK gear.
But...
Ironforge bow? Ironforge BOW~!? By mah granfather's beard, of all the things, a BOW~!? What'd they think we are, some pansy elve-sissies? (*cough*no-offence*cough*)

And every time it fires, you hear the wings of a dove.
