Weapon/shield models on Draenei males need changing

1 handed weapons being bigger than 2 handers, shields clipping through shoulders and not even covering the entire hand due to size and positioning, it all looks a bit weird.

Simple fix IMO, just drop the shield position on the hand to be lower and close the fist as if the model is holding a weapon in both hands.

Some examples of shields that don’t work are (including recolours)

  • 7th Legionnaire’s Aegis
  • Silvershell Defender
  • Acidslough Bulwark
  • Truthguard (yes the Paladin tank shield from Legion)
  • Shield of Mockery
  • Dawnforged Defender (and this is one of the largest shields for the model, fingers still hanging out)
  • And many more, seriously its about 90% of shields

For weapons either make the 2 handers as big as human male models or make the haft longer, a lot of 2 handed axes and maces look ridiculous on a male Draenei.

2h axes that don’t work (including recolours)

  • Iron Horde Waraxe
  • Unchained Gladiators Greataxe
  • Uroe, Harbinger of Terror
  • Rivetspike Cleaver
  • Prideful Gladiator’s Decapitator
  • and more

2h maces that don’t work (including recolours)

  • Selfless Collector’s Cudgel
  • Gavel of the First Arbiter
  • Dismembered Submersible Claw
  • Gilded Crusader’s Morningstar
  • Hammer of the Soulbinder
  • Talon Guard Wingsmasher
  • Lerah’s Ribsmasher
  • Greatmace of the Order
  • Cryptmaker
  • Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
  • and many, many more

2h swords are easily the best of the large weapon types, but there are some that don’t work (including recolours)

  • Binan Greatsword
  • Relentless Gladiator’s Greatsword
  • and more

Hopefully there is time in the future to address these model interactions on the male Draenei, art team always kills it so fingers crossed!
