Cataclysm Bonus Model Update - New Tree of Life Form!
We're not going to sleep yet! We've got what appears to be a new model for the druid's
Incarnation: Tree of Life
form, possibly still a work-in-progress! Since it is no longer a permanent form and is instead a temporary shapeshift, Blizzard has stated that they want to make it more special and exotic. This is definitely a step in...
some
direction. As a resto druid going on my fifth year, I personally consider this quite a welcome step up from the scraggly ol' treant of the days past. I can only hope one day that Blizzard allows us to choose our shapeshift form skins independently. And hey - maybe we'll get that
Moonkin Form
update after all!
Get your "HULK SMASH!" shapeshift macros ready, boys and girls. Don't forget to click on a model to check it out in our 3D model viewer!
Update:
The Flash versions of these models are now available!

Edit: The Death Knight Tier 11 models have been posted! Come see them
here!
I know you're all still awake playing World of Warcraft, learning new glyphs, reforging gear and panicking over your talents - never fear, I'm here to take your mind off your digital worries with some awesome new 3D models fresh from the Cataclysm Beta! I think we may have something relative to your interests...
new Tier 11
and
new PVP sets
!
This latest build included new Tier 11 armor set models for Mage, Priest and Shaman, adding to the already discovered Warrior, Druid, Rogue and Warlock armor sets. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be new armor models for Hunter, Death Knight or Paladin just yet, but you can be sure that when they're in the files, they'll be on the site. I know we all can't wait to make fun of the latest Paladin frocks, right? I've included all of the current Tier 11 armor sets in this post, and you can be sure that they'll be added to our [u

We have another round of updates for those following our Cataclysm Beta
build 13066

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12984) 3D Model Update - Tier 11 and More!
We've got some new
Cataclysm models
for you guys - including new tier 11 armors for druids and rogues, the adorable
Lil' Deathwing

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12942) 3D Models Added!
New Cataclysm model goodness! No "major character" models this patch, and unfortunately no new armor sets like in our
previous post
. However, as a firm appreciator of raptors I must give this latest update two thumbs up for the awesome, updated skeletal raptor mount model - even if it doesn't make any sense. Then again, we ride on horses made of stars so what's my problem with a skeleton? At least it has
real bones
.
We've got a few new NPC models, including the
Terrastra
, the Earth Twilight Ascendant! I've included the previous Ascendants as well, so we can see the Twilight Ascendant Council in full form! I can't wait to see these bad boys in
The Bastion of Twilight
... erm, assuming they're all boys. Do they even have genders? I've confused myself. Anyway, check out all of the models below!

Cataclysm Model Update - New Armor Sets, Minerals and Armadillos! What?
Blizzard just unleashed yet another patch to the Cataclysm beta last night, and with that comes more Cataclysmic model goodness! We've got some interesting new armor set models for each specialization (cloth, leather, plate and mail) and a few new weapons (including what appears to be Deathwing's mace)! We've also found some Cataclysm mineral vein models, a few new objects, and
armadillos
. I know you guys were thinking, "Man, how could Blizzard EVER top camels? Seriously!" - WELL WE'VE GOT ARMADILLOS NOW. I bet these little buggers roll around all sorts of awesomely. I wonder which one is going to be our new
Armadillo Pup
companion pet? With all these domestic critters getting added, maybe we'll get our moose just yet!
We've got pretty pictures of all the model sets that you guys can click to view the armor on the race / gender of your choice in our 3D Model Viewer, so no complaining about any bias in selection of races, okay? Check out the full blog to view 'em all!

Cataclysm Model Update - Watch out, they spit!
Another Cataclysm model update, this time featuring
camels!
Let's all pretend we're not going to be flying around all of Azeroth and riding
seahorses
through its expansive waters and just be excited for yet another pack beast to carry us through our adventures! So far these camels are not tied to any specific items, but one can only assume they'll be used in
Uldum
(where
wild camels
can be found) and
possibly
linked to the
Ramkahen
faction, maybe as a reputation reward similar to the
Talbuks
earned in
Nagrand
.
We've also found the model for an eerie little crawling hand companion pet (think
Thing
from The Addams Family), which also looks like it may come out of Uldum (with all the creepy mummies and crazy Egyptian-themed business going on down th

Cataclysm Model Update - Thrall, Guardian, Drakes and More!
Whoa, it's been too long without a Cataclysm Beta model update! We ran into some issues on our end that needed to be sorted out but we're back and we've got models, so it's all good! These models were added in the past few patches and you can check them out here in snazzy 3D! Let's check out the most awesome stuff first:
Thrall

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12644) Models - Malfurion, Deathwing, Dungeon Tier and More!
We've got some stunning new models for you guys from the latest Cataclysm beta update!
Notable new additions include famous faces such as
Deathwing
in his human form and a heavily updated model for everyone's favorite archdruid,
Malfurion Stormrage
! He now looks more like a
Druid of the Talon
(Warcraft III) - I hope we see an incredible Storm Crow shapeshift form soon! We've also uncovered the model for one of the Twilight Ascendants we'll be facing in the Bastion of Twilight! Oh, and did I mention there's a
SHARK
? He's no
whale shark
, though.
We've also got some new item models for you guys, including models for a
new dungeon set

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12604) 3D Models Added!
Yet another update to the Cataclysm Beta!
Here's a few more 3D models for you guys - most notable new additions include some amazing seahorses (mounts?!?!) and some extremely interesting new Grim Batol objects! I don't care what anybody else says, those seahorses are some of the best looking models to ever hit the game, hands down. Of course, if we do discover any more cool new models, we'll be sure to keep the blog updated - c'mon Blizzard, one-up the seahorses! You can check out all of our previous model posts filed under the

Cataclysm: New Hunter Pets
While there are currently no new pet families being added in
Cataclysm
, Blizzard has added a plethora of new pets for Hunters to tame.
The team over at
Petopia
have put up a

listing some of the new looks you can find for hunter pets in Cataclysm and where you can find them. Since we have access to the 3D models for some of these pets, we thought we'd post them here as well for you guys to take a look!

Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher in 3D!
In this last patch, we've been able to find the model for the
Reins of the Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher

This one's a beauty. You earn it for completing the 10-player version of
Glory of the Icecrown Raider (10 player)
