The New Alleria Windrunner Model - Good or Bad?

I actually really like the asymmetric look for her because she is an archer. The first thing I noticed was her gloves and how one side has grips and the other has exposed fingers. I then thought about how maybe it’s easier to move her arm to aim if there isn’t anything there.

At least that’s just how I perceive it.

Looks like Vereesa.

She went from Xena Warrior Princess to Stepford wife hobby lobby archer.

We are indeed in some dark times of the WoW era.

I like the design but it’s not a 10/10.

Anyone upset by this is a little odd.

In all seriousness the problem is that her new color scheme screams High Elf Silver Covenant Archer.

Her previous color scheme was unorthodox and characteristic of an outsider which is exactly part of the Void Elf story in game and out of the game.

I don’t like it as much as her original model/colors, but it is what it is. The colors especially seem really washed out. She already has very fair skin and fair hair, giving her a mostly white outfit is just overkill.

That said, I haven’t seen the model in action. It may have animations and glowy bits, like how she turned black/purple during the cinematic where she was first infused with void. It may be that the basic model is intended to be relatively plain, so as not to overpower the void effects they’re going to give her. If so, I think that’s probably a valid artistic choice.

Her new design is WAY better. I like how they worked the character arc into the clothing, just like with Xal. With Alleria the design is all about balance, which is brilliantly done.

Factually, she isn’t white and silver - the design is white and black. It should go without saying that any metal should be designed to look like metal, which they have done, and thus is fine.

Loose the scarf/cape. Add a void tentacle to the braid tip.

My thoughts are it’s the best thing I could have hoped for. She’s great example of a void elf now.

Looks like an Ashe skin.

I’m hoping the reason behind the white is that it makes her Void Form look even more amazing than it already does somehow.

Some higher rez pictures.

I think it looks pretty darn good.

The armor switching hands makes sense as that’s how it’s supposed to be on archers and it was wrong before.

There is lots of Void bits with the gems and markings.

The hair is neat.

Her facial marking seems to have morphed into eyeshadow but it seems they are Void Markings and not actual tattoos so I will chock it up to “Magic”.

The armor is good. Feels related to the Silver Covenant somehow so I hope there is a story beat there.

I would like everything remotely related to the void to stop looking voidy. I’m so sick of purple and swirls and voidy puff of smoke - and I love purple.

The old gods were from the void and didn’t have all this purple going on. My biggest concern now with anything void related is it will turn into some shade of purple just like anything Legion related must be green. Makes things visually bland and boring. Next expansion Midnight - The revenge of purple.

She always looked like Vereesa. They’re sisters.

Well sure, same idea but Aleria was more recently shown with a slightely wider jaw and of course the blue whatever it is mark over her left eye.

I love her WARTHIN model and I hope we can recruit her as a follower for Delves in WARTHIN!

Actually, that would be kind of cool idea to see as a new character. :slight_smile:
