WAR gear = epic win
I'm loving the itemization of Warhammer, especially the visual appearance of the gear. They've hit some sort of sweet spot between reasonably realistic and clever, with the comedy still there right hanging from dangly bits and whatnot.
Check out this crab leg bow, it's of course nonsensical, but somehow it works and I love it:
I love the Trophies, which are basically classic battle fetishes that hang on your armour for good luck. Mythic was brilliant to implement these, the extra detail is awesome. Apparently my Squig Herder collects spoons rather than the usual fangs, knives, fingers and eyeballs:
Check out these beautiful crow-wing shoulders on Strix (Michelle's Zealot). You can't entirely see it from one screenshot, but they've included the underlying bone structure in a layer under the feathers, the modelling is fantastic.
To compare, I loathe the gaudy oversized shoulders in WoW. They eventually fit in with their overall sets, but I always felt so absurd wearing them. Blizzard has great art direction overall, but I was often disappointed in the gear.
