A few weeks ago
we checked out art
for a set of new
Hearthstone
skins that assigned Covenants to major NPCs. Two recent Hearthstone skin bundles,
Chrome Crusaders
and
Rusted Raiders
, gave the featured major NPCs awesome mecha looks, and
Hearthstone Top Decks
has a preview. While it seems unlikely that this will have any bearing in
World of Warcraft
, the art is, as usual, stunning. Take a look.
The
Chrome Crusaders
include Malfurion, Jaina, Anduin, Valeera, and Uther.
Steel Guardian Malfurion
Arcane Sentinel Jaina
Holy Leviathan Anduin
Titanblade Valeera
Star Ascendant Uther
The
Rusted Raiders
include Illidan, Garrosh, Gul'dan, Rexxar, and Thrall.
Infernal Armor Illidan
Forge-wrought Garrosh
Fel Colossus Gul'dan
Iron Hunter Rexxar
Mechaconduit Thrall
Added bonus: YouTuber Cheshire has posted the new voicelines:

I &*!@in hate this
Rexxar is famed for dual wielding 1H axes, so naturally his picture is using a bow.
Hate to tell ya this but Rexxar's base skin in hearthstone uses a bow and has since the beta of Hearthstone. Why they chose the one hunter lore character that doesnt use a bow often to be the base hero for hunter the world will never know. But you are about 7 years to late.

I would like these bosses on the brawlers guild or some kind of boss fight, not everything should be serious on WoW, just like Epicus Maximus.
God forbade we have immersion in an MMORPG that takes its lore and worldbuilding seriously, @#$% those people right?

The art looks epic. But if I wanted robots I would be playing Starcraft or some other game with better robot lore.... I loved HS from its beta because it gave me another opportunity to immerse myself in the Warcraft universe. Then they started going wild with alternate universe robots, rockets, weird abstract things and very much lost me. Now, to those who enjoy that - power to you. Just please keep that to HS and don't plague WoW with it.

The weird thing tho is the last year of hearthstone expansions has actually been more grounded in the warcraft universe then wow has. The first set being based around the barrens and wailing caverns followed by stormwind and the deadmines and finally now Horde Vs Alliance in Alterac Valley. It's honestly just the alternate hero skins that are out of place currently.
