Gearing Up Out of Character

So I've been thinking about this for a while. I have a lot of original characters in the worldbuilding I've been doing, and sometimes I like to think about what class they would be if I transferred them into WoW. Then today I thought, "why not draw them in dungeon or tier gear for that class?"

So I started to.

This is one of my characters, Ookami, wearing the Lightforge Armor dungeon set. He'd so be a paladin if he was in Warcraft; he's very serious (a little TOO much so), devoted to his work, and can even canonically resurrect people. He's also one of those quiet types who always moves to defend anybody under his command without hesitation, so I pegged him for a tank, easy.

Not finished yet (the Lightforge armor has a hella lot of detail on it!) but I'm already having a lot of fun with it. I also took a few liberties with the set design, seeing as when skinned it just looks flat to the character's model, while in reality it would probably be fairly bulky armor. Like those chest pieces.

He also needs a good weapon and shield, preferably pieces that look nice with this armor, so if anybody has a good idea do let me know :D

(Pay no attention to my sloppy inking. I'm still getting used to my tablet).

For weaponry, may I suggest Grand Marshal? It's always fitted with Lightforge IMO.

You wouldn't happen to have a link would you? I just tried to look up 'grand marshal' on wowhead and I got gear, not a weapon, but it's been acting kinda funny today...

Actually, I think the blue of the weapons doesn't mix with the red of the armor.
And somehow, I think a two-handed weapon would fit nicely.

I would suggest the following weaponss:
  • Blade of the Titans
  • Cataclysm's Edge
  • Dalaran Greatsword
  • Fel iron greatsword
  • Haunting Blade
  • Herald of Woe
  • Massacre Sword
  • Mograine's Might
  • Sin'dorei Warblade
  • Sulfuras Hand of Ragnaros
  • Twinblade of the Phoenix
  • Warmonger

True, but the style of the weapons fit, and after drawing it's simply a matter of changing the colours.
