Around Azeroth: Waiting for the eastern glow
Yuuzhan of Kul Tiras captured this picture the Dark Lady as she waits to retake the Undercity from her disloyal lieutenant. I can't get enough of the new Sylvanas model, even though she does sort of remind me of the creepy dark elf pervert from Oblivion. (Although actually, considering that quote, they would probably get along pretty well.) But I know some people still retain affection for bouncing-night-elf Syl, or the short-lived vampiric Banshee Queen. What's your preferred model for our favorite revenge-obsessed ranger?

Current model by far. Original one made me angry; "What are—" *bounce* bounce "—we if not—" *bounce* "—Forsaken?!". The second one wasn't particularly interesting. This one "looks" like Sylvanas should.

The one and only way I like seeing her. Lying on the floor, dead. FOR THE ALLIANCE!
All that aside, the current one looks the best. The first one was a night elf, which is wrong, since she's not one. The second one was too generic looking.

Had to stand up for the Horde on that one. :)
But yes, I agree. The latest model of Sylvanas is definitely by far the best.

If that were a picture of Staghelm dead, the Alliance would agree with you.

i liked the red eyes on the second one tho, a bit too russian tho
Zable Aug 2nd 2009 10:14AM
This one, though the second one wasn't half bad, either.
The night elf model was just awful.

The current model is win. Every faction leader should be updated to this standard.
Serpigo Aug 2nd 2009 10:25AM
Nice Zeppelin reference! :D

Yes! Battle of Evermore is my favorite song by them!

You're going to need to explain the Falanu Hlaalu association. I would think of Dervera Romalen — the Cheydinhal innkeeper and one of the first friendly Dunmer many players meet. Is it the shared relation to things necrotic?
And, of course, this reminds me of exploring Oblivion in those thrilling, early days. I wouldn't mind an announcement of The Elder Scrolls V soon!

she looks awesome as she is now. She really looks exactly how she was in W3. The night elf model couldn't have sucked more, and the second one was a standard barbie with red eyes.. D: All faction leaders should have their very own and unique NPC, and finally she got it and she looks great.

The 3 current Blood Elf leaders desperately need a make-over.
I'd love to see them with new models and higher levels. O_O
Kylenne Aug 2nd 2009 1:39PM
Yeah, it's pretty messed up that most of us are higher level than our Ranger-General. :\
Itanius Aug 2nd 2009 12:25PM
The current model is definitely the nicest one, imo.
Now if they would just give her somewhere to sit... it's tough being queen. Get that lady a throne made of bone!

these pictures are getting lamer and lamer.
the column WAS fantastic at one point now the pictures are just boring like beige
gallow Aug 7th 2009 10:27PM

i mean come on
the first one was just a night elf
the second one was the barbie doll from hell
this one actuly looks......... good
Urza Aug 2nd 2009 12:48PM
I like the new one.
Rayistelle Aug 4th 2009 3:56PM
The current model is the greatest in my opinion. It reflects her personality really well, and it just looks awesome.
Kyle Aug 2nd 2009 2:38PM
her current model is by far the best. the old nelf model used was a disgrace, and the be model was even worse. my only complaint is they based alexstrasza's human form model from sylvannas. so when u really think about it... she still doesn't have a unique model of her own.
Agony Aug 2nd 2009 2:50PM
Isn't it ironic that there are so many people now saying that she looks great when just a couple of weeks ago, they complained that she was blue: http://www.wow.com/2009/07/22/dc-series-6-figures-feature-sylvanas-and-bronzebeard/
