I made a couple of quick edits for how they should look. Or at least as close to their original appearances as my photoshop skills will allow:

Happily, they made like in WoW nowdays, not WC3:Classic.
These modern variants look much cooler.

Sorry to disappoint you but they clearly say that Warcraft Reforged even without The campaign with wow content will still be a “bridge” for connect to World of warcraft. So in wow they decide illidan have green tattoo? He get green tattoo.
You will not have Warcraft 3 with only the skin upgrade, this is still a bridge for connect to The current lore of WoW.

Wait illidan tattoos aren’t supposed to be of the same colour of the player?

I’m fine with changes for the most part. I can live with em.
The one that stands out to me is the Hippogryph with parrot colors. This is supposed to be a Raven/Stag hybrid creature. The dark colors was very indicative of this, and I’m not digging the new colors and tail design that makes it out to be some other type of tropical bird that doesn’t fit the dark forest motifs of the Night Elves.
Hippogriff doesn’t even have this new design in WoW so it confuses me why they have this big change.

Yes I missed that, in Reforged they do match the player colour. But that actually makes it even more wrong, since his tattoos will now be blue and purple.
Eh, the normal color for Night Elves is teal, so it will be a green-ish.

Oh yeah I agree it will probably look bad, especially in big matches like 4v4 with many weird colors. They will become Teletubbies
because china likes bright colors, big sword and topless dead girls on horses. And as hippos have no sword and are not female DKs - they color them with rainbow!!
And it’s great that they aren’t because they look 10x better than the classic ones.

Well. Let’s hope they release skins then so you can reskin your heroes and units to the look and feel which you like.
MyGuy it’s quite clear that Blizzard don’t give a rats behind about keeping the game as it was in Warcraft 3 for the purists and they sure as hell don’t care about changing/ altering/ improving the story like they sold the game as for the past year.
They are doing whatever they can and want in order to get this game out as soon as possible.
(really Blizzard a$$ and cr4p are censored? Grow up.)
What an eagle eye to spot on those details! Personally in wc3 classic i just saw 3 or 4 coloured triangles as the whole head.
The one model that really left me disappointed is the Shandris one.
I don’t know why they thought that emulating the WoW model (which uses player armour instead of its own) was a better idea than following her original appearance in early artwork. For reference:

Now compare these with this:

To me it’s a horrible downgrade in style. I mean, spikes on her bow? It’s clashing so painfully with the Night Elven aesthetic. And again, this is all because of an attempt to emulate the WoW model which uses the Relentless Gladiator’s Longbow (x_https://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/june/season7_10048_24.jpg)
The art team really sold itself short with Shandris, I’m sorry to say. She’s deserving a way better model, both in WoW and Reforged.

I agree completely about Shandris. I mean her new model does look good (albeit a bit out of place), it just doesn’t look anything like Shandris concept art from Warcraft 3.
I’m also mildly confused as to why they gave the archers more armor and the huntresses less armor when it was originally the opposite and stated as the opposite in lore (and I believe is still more or less that way in WoW). The models do look good however (minus the Archer hunchback).

For heroes, there’s only 2 things on my wishlist
Maiev with her feathered back arch instead of the crescent moon, and Malfurion without the wings.
I can live with the current designs, but I’d like it to look more like the original silhouettes.
Tyrande is a high priestess, she is political leader and she can afford salon hairstyle.
Feathers on Maiev were cool. The more feathers the better, always.
