Turalyon Was Always Bad

Here’s a picture from the WC2:BtDP manual:

This guy right here is Turalyon:

He looks like he belongs in Warhammer.

He looks like his fury makes him happy and his happiness makes him furious.

He looks like Doomguy if Orcs had killed his bunny.

He looks like he eats teeth.

He looks like he watches Lion King and roots for the stampede.

Tbf, the designs from back then often hardly resemble designs from now.

That was very much the idea with early warcraft.

But no, he is a good guy. One of the goodest guys.

True. But also, isn’t it nifty to see the things that have carried through? Like Danath and Kurdran. They still look like that! Kurdran still has those head tattoos!

Khadgar looks like he is annoyed that he accidentally froze his own hand lol

“On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said, “Leave this one alone”
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone

Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I’ll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I’m here to tell ya, honey
That I’m bad to the bone

Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone” - George Thorogood

Just like now :smiley:

Also it took me a few seconds to realize that her face tattoos and her hair are separate things. At first glance I thought she was wearing a veil lol

I miss holding the little booklets and the strategy guides that had the hand drawn art from Metzen and Samwise. A group of nerds passionate about DnD and Warhammer, making their own thing. Soul.

When I was a kid, I used to draw the art Warcraft and Diablo instruction booklets and strategy guides by reference. I remember one particular drawing I was super proud of at the time, I worked really hard on it, it was of the Diablo 2 Necromancer holding his Kris over an inanimate lump of flesh in his other hand. I copied it from the strategy guide.

We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?

Alleria’s new writers are likely tired of all that “Old Light energy”, just like the person they remodeled her to look like.

WC1 was going to be a Warhammer game.

The entire Warcraft universe started as Warhammer with the serial number filed off. (No big deal since the entire Warhammer universe was stolen in pieces from earlier authors)

But if you’re smiling while killing genocidal, demon-possessed aliens who arrived on your world over a highway of bones stretching across half the length of their home world, that doesn’t make you the bad guy.

It makes you the DOOMGUY.

Even if in warhammer…there is no gooder guy than a loyal servant of Sigmar putting orcs in their proper place.

in a mass pit filled with all the other dead orcs from battle…would be the proper place.

IF we trust Warlocks, especially Eredar Warlocks, we can trust ol’reliable Turalyon.

On the other hand, he looks like he watches Terminator and roots for Skynet.
